Chiefs add flickz; pecks moved to backup
Chiefs Esports Club has replaced Peter "pecks" Nguyen with Samuel "flickz" Jones on the active lineup, formerly of Athletico and Dark Sided.
This sudden move becomes the third roster change for Chiefs within the span of 3-4 months, reducing the legendary IEM Sydney 2017 lineup to two remaining members. It has been revealed that Peter "pecks" Nguyen will act as the team's backup member with the addition of Sam "flickz" Jones to the starting five-man roster.
Despite recruiting young prodigy Matthew "Texta" O'Rourke and Kiwi AWPer Euan "sterling" Moore, Chiefs have not been able to live up to their expectations following two recent top four exits at IEM Katowice 2018 Oceania Closed Qualifier and DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018 Oceania Open Qualifier.

Earlier this month, the Australian organization officially announced Alex "MAGIKKK" Langusch as the squad's head coach, who previously coached Athletico, Grayhound and Immunity in the past year. Chiefs will make their debut with the new member next week against Grayhound in their last best-of-two match of CyberGamer Premier League Autumn, due to roster locks for ESEA MDL and ESL AU&NZ Championship.
Chiefs' new roster is as follows:
Tyler "tucks" Reilly
Liam "malta" Schembri
Matthew "Texta" O'Rourke
Euan "sterling" Moore
Sam "flickz" Jones
Alex "MAGIKKK" Langusch (coach)
Peter "pecks" Nguyen (backup)
