High Coast add motm on trial

26-3-2021 00:05

The American rifler officially joins the team after playing a number of matches for them as a stand-in.

High Coast have announced the addition of Ian "⁠motm⁠" Hardy to their roster on a trial basis. The former Cloud9 member, who was benched by Extra Salt in February to make room for Edgar "⁠MarKE⁠" Maldonado following a string of lacklustre results, has already played a number of matches for his new team, whom he helped to reach the semi-finals of DreamHack Open March.

The Swedish organisation also confirmed the departures of Jonathan "⁠djay⁠" Dallal and Ramal "⁠Rampage⁠" Silva, while simultaneously confirming that they have completed the loan signing of Rodrigo "⁠RCF⁠" Figueiredo, who has been playing for the team since January.

High Coast have added motm to take the place of djay

motm's addition to the roster reunites him with Ben "⁠ben1337⁠" Smith and Josh "⁠PwnAlone⁠" Pigue, with whom he previously played on Vireo.pro and Party Astronauts prior to linking up with the members of Extra Salt in August 2019.

High Coast are next set to participate in the VENN Invitational, the North American regional qualifier for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, with their first match pitting them against Rebirth on Friday at 22:15 . The team have also secured a playoff berth in ESEA Premier Season 37, with the league taking a three-week break before the bracket stage gets underway.

High Coast's roster now looks as follows:

Josh "⁠PwnAlone⁠" Pigue
Ben "⁠ben1337⁠" Smith
Brandon "⁠bew⁠" Roberts (loan)
Rodrigo "⁠RCF⁠" Figueiredo (loan)
Ian "⁠motm⁠" Hardy (trial)

Joseph "⁠Muenster⁠" Lima (coach)

Not their fault if you never randomly check the results on the right part of HLTV.org

I believe NA can make a comeback. Extra salt is improving. They have c9 which is basically an NA team, liquid, eg. An org can always step in with an EU IGL and some great talent (like cynic, kobruh, wrath, jonji). Now with the return of lan, when covid goes away, teams like extremum and coL can also return. Add the brazilian teams. And you have a pretty good league.
