He\u2019s the fourth member to be signed in this period. We\u2019re still awaiting the final two signings as GM Henry &#8220;HenryG&#8221; Greer has confirmed he\u2019s building a six-man squad.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to keep floppy on the team should prove beneficial as he\u2019s on his way to becoming one of the best players in the US. There are mixed feelings among fans regarding the rebuild, but floppy should keep hope alive as he\u2019s a star player.<\/p>\n<p>The new Cloud9 CS: GO roster will shift from an American base to the European region.<\/p>\n<h2>Asia esports news<\/h2>\n<h3>China Dota PIT Season 3 Upper Bracket Final<\/h3>\n<p>Saturday will see the OGA Dota Pit upper-bracket final between PSG.LGD and Team Aster. They\u2019re among the strongest Dota 2 teams in the region, and we\u2019re expecting a thriller of a meeting. <\/p>\n<p>PSG.LGD took the crown in their most recent encounter and will start favorites at <a href=\"\/china\/\" title=\"Esports betting in China\">Chinese esports betting sites<\/a>.

The rAge Digital Edition will be held a couple of days later, from November 6 to the 8th. <\/p>\n<h2>Europe esports news<\/h2>\n<h3>SKADE Disqualified from ESEA MDL Season 35<\/h3>\n<p>It seems that every passing week brings a negative light to the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community. Over recent weeks, several star players announced their departure from the game as they transition to <a href=\"\/valorant\/\" title=\"Valorant esports betting\">Valorant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After dozens of coaches received bans for using a bug to their advantage, some have put their rosters in jeopardy. SKADE, who were ranked fourth on the ESEA MDL Season 35 standings, are now disqualified.<\/p>\n<p>During Season 34, their coach, Nikolay &#8220;\u2060pNshr\u2060&#8221; Paunin, used a spectator bug in several rounds when the team played against Movistar Riders. ESIC have already sanctioned him, but the news that he used the bug in the ESEA MDL competition resulted in his team\u2019s disqualification.<\/p>\n<p>This dismissal opens the door for other rosters to move up the ladder, although the odds remain in Sprout\u2019s favor to win the ESEA MDL S35 campaign. <\/p>\n<h2>South America esports news<\/h2>\n<h3>Imperial Lose Two Players in Two Days<\/h3>\n<p>Rumour has it that a new esports organization is forming and backed by Real Madrid star Casemiro.

LUCAS1 only spent a brief time with Imperial and announced his departure yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>While we await the organization\u2019s name and future roster announcement, we\u2019re hoping that the two former teammates achieve more success than they did with Imperial.<\/p>\n<h2>Oceania esports news<\/h2>\n<h3>Oceanic Esports League Week 10<\/h3>\n<p>The highlight of matchday three in the Oceanic Esports League will be the battle between Adio Chula and Bokebi. The two are fierce competitors, sitting third and fourth respectively in the standings.<\/p>\n<p>Bokebi are the clear favorites at <a href=\"\/dota-2\/\" title=\"Dota 2 betting\">Dota 2 betting sites<\/a> on the back of their superior recent form. Adio Chula have plateaued of late, closing two of their latest games in a draw.
