Official: Renegades sign liazz and Gratisfaction

Renegades have officially announced the additions of Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas and Sean "⁠Gratisfaction⁠" Kaiwai to their starting roster.

The announcement takes place a few days after the aforementioned duo joined the Australian squad's ESEA roster last Friday, filling up the void left by Noah "⁠Nifty⁠" Francis and Karlo "⁠USTILO⁠" Pivac on the active lineup.

Gratisfaction has been regarded as one of New Zealand's top players, specialising in the AWPing department, which will be the 22-year-old's position on the new team, holding a 1.27 rating to his name in 2018 so far.

liazz and Gratisfaction have officially joined Renegades

Alongside the former Grayhound member, ORDER officially announced their farewells to the Australian prodigy Liazz prior to Renegades' post, who has been a part of the original Kings roster since June 2017, which later became ORDER's first Counter-Strike division in January this year onwards.

The 21-year-old Aussie talent caught the eyes of thousands during the IEM Sydney 2018 series against ELEAGUE Major 2018 Champions Cloud9, where he had a 1.46 rating following the 1-2 defeat.

The two Oceanic players will join the rest of the Renegades crew in Detroit, in preparation for their upcoming events, where they will debut against eUnited in ESL Pro League Season 8 North America on Wednesday, followed by ECS Season 6 North America's kick-off a day later.

Their first LAN appearance with the new faces will be StarSeries i-League Season 6 in Kiev, Ukraine on October 7-14. It has been hinted that a coach will be announced soon, to guide them in the right direction.

Renegades' roster is now:

Australia Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage
Australia Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward
Norway Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
New Zealand Sean "⁠Gratisfaction⁠" Kaiwai
Australia Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas

Well where does it state "JKAEM IS HERE TO STAY"? It doesnt, so they might as well keep him for now. I think Renegades might sign malta from Grayhounds, imo he is really good in the lurk role. I mean it states that Jkaem still is a standin: i.gyazo.com/11d879b488f17cd9674a8ecc1a64..

yeah maybe you're right, but jkaem is probably better than most AU players outside renegades rn. He is stable and can speak good english and everything. Would be nice seeing more AU players in the top teams though.

No he isnt: i.gyazo.com/414b831758914726576d5b82ac56.. Because USTILO have been trash for a long time, JKAEM actually can play the game & does it good, but thats what i saw yesterday, that they wanted a full AU/NZ lineup.

Whilst nifty did have amazing performances, he was inconsistent. The core trio of renegades needed to change in one way or another and this seems like a good move for everyone

I think nifty was just hampered down by the igl role, maybe if they had a dedicated igl nifty would be more consistent and be able to have more impact.

I really cant take stats that are basically just oce and asia that seriously and one showing at iem sydney isnt enough to convince me otherwise. End of the day GH which Dexter is igl of did better for a longer period than kings/ order did even with the stacked lineup Liazz had behind him. Don't get me wrong Liazz is one if not the best player in the AUS scene - RNG players, RNG had enough raw skill as is.

Liazz did not have a ''stacked lineup'' behind him, Emag igl for the first time, aliStair rifling instead of AWP, Hatz entrying, Liazz and Sico were the main 2 ... For sure wasn't stacked, Not much Liazz can do when he has a 1.21 KD and his team still loses to grayhound

Grayhound signed Sterling in Grat's absence, and I think its a great sign. Probably got him hella cheap from Legacy, and hes already shown to be a great player, even when playing part-time. Who knows what ha can do while playing full time?! So I wonder, does anyone know how much renegades had to pay for Grat? Because Sterling might make up for it in some months, might even be positive for grayhound
