Hatz vender tilbage til ORDER i ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022
/Hatz will return to the ORDER team for the upcoming ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022. This was announced by the captain of the Australian team. It is reported that ORDER will not be able to take part along with his newcomer Vexite, as the rules from ESL prohibit the use of a player due to his performances for another team.
Due to poor timing and ESL rules, it appears that we won't be able to use our entire roster for the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022 this year. Luckily, Hatz said he was ready to step up and give the boys a dream run one last chance.
Hatz has been playing for the Renegades team, and later ORDER, since January 2020. Over two and a half seasons, the 24-year-old Australian has helped the team win numerous championships, including DreamHack Masters Spring 2020: Oceania, DreamHack Open Summer 2020: Oceania and Perfect World Oceania League Fall 2020.
However, in early August, the Australian club made the decision to make changes to its squad by signing the young Vexite. Together with the team, the newcomer has already managed to get into the closed qualifiers for IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Asia, but failed to get into ORDER after the announcement of the application for the home championship in Melbourne.
Interestingly, ORDER is in serious financial difficulty and appears to have put its operations up for sale. At the same time, the club only recently signed the former Renegades squad, which requires about $750,000 a year.
The final roster of ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022 is as follows: paiN Gaming, Imperial Esports, VERTEX Esports Club, Entropiq, Evil Geniuses (Party Astronauts), Wings Up Gaming, OG and ORDER.
ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022 will take place September 2-4 in Australia. As part of the championship, eight teams from Europe, Asia, Oceania, North and South America will compete for a prize pool of $100,000, as well as a ticket to the ESL Pro League Conference Season 17, which will go to the winner.
ORDER lineup for ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022 is as follows:
- Sico
- INS
- aliStair
- Liazz
- Hatz
- Kingfisher (head coach)
