The death of DeathZz

The sun set on the Spanish Inquisition.

We might be mixing two idioms up there. One thing we were expecting (not the Spanish Inquisition) was a change of tact from our Dragonite-supported friends from Movistar Riders, and as such, they have delivered.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s DeathZz who has been cut. Presumably not for gameplay reasons, just for having the worst pro name of any player ever.

Seriously, you can pick anything, and you went with the name of a metal band created by a 12-year-old guitarist with a double-barrelled surname and an angry chubby kid with long hair on the drums?

Weirdly specific.

Since the star they orbited around left, Movistar have been all kinds of rubbish. Missing out on the Major, losing to Eternal Fire, and winning one out of 13 maps at Pro League have left Movistar scrambling for a fix.

They believe they’ve found the fix; it’s in the form of sausol.

A guy who was inconsistent on MAD Lions and was last seen being fine for Partizan. Not exactly the most inspiring signing, but a much better name than DeathZz if nothing else.

We’re not convinced this is going to turn things around for the Riders, but at least they’re doing something.
