yay set to join Bad News Bears

Former Complexity member Jaccob "⁠yay⁠" Whiteaker has agreed to link up with Bad News Bears, according to a report from Dust2.us.

The 20-year-old will start competing with the ESEA MDL side only after the ESL One Cologne closed qualifier, scheduled for May 10-11, as he remains committed to INTZ, standing in for the Brazilian team in absence of Marcelo "⁠chelo⁠" Cespedes, who is currently dealing with personal matters.

yay, who will be stepping into Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver's shoes, was benched by Complexity in December 2018 after over a year with the team, making his final appearance at DreamHack Open Winter.

yay will replace Relyks on Bad News Bears

Until yay is available, Bad News Bears will field Austin "⁠crashies⁠" Roberts as a stand-in. The 21-year-old, who was the highest-rated player on Team Skadoodle at the recent ESEA Rank S Combine, in Las Vegas, already stood in for the team on Sunday, averaging a 1.26 rating in the 2-0 victories over Royal and Party Astronauts in Mythic Cup 2.

With yay's addition, Bad News Bears will have the following roster:

United States Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney
Canada Tyson "⁠TenZ⁠" Ngo
United States Mitch "⁠mitch⁠" Semago
United States Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado
United States Jaccob "⁠yay⁠" Whiteaker

Tell me why shox is a bot then, because seemingly my initial post had nothing to do with shox either, but you seem to want to back off when I provide facts of why he's better than the supposed players you are a fan of.

Your only reply is he's "overrated" and a bot, that's all you gave me. No proof, no examples, statistics, or anything. Last 2 years? 4 Major appearances with a quarter finals finish, 1st place at dreamhack open tours, 1st place ESL pro league finals season 5, 1st place dreamhack masters malmo, and top 3 finishes at epicenter and WESG 2018 world finals. Still averages a 1.13 rating to this date. Give me reasons he's overrated or just leave dumbass lol, you're probably just baiting.
