FLUFFY AIMERS bet on two young players in the PNDLM role and headed to the bench

FLUFFY AIMERS have announced their latest roster changes, with Darius "PNDLM" Bandali and Nelvin "nooz" Gonzalez being benched. The organisation has opted for ESEA Advanced duo Vova "bezymecc" Slobodian and Dylan "slump" N. to step into their positions.

This surprise shake-up in FLUFFY AIMERS' ranks comes just before their debut in ESL Challenger League Season 48, where the team aims to improve upon their 8-20 record from the previous season. According to reports from Dust2.us, nooz stepped down after receiving an offer from another team, while PNDLM was benched due to the team's loss of nooz.

Facing the challenge of replacing key players at short notice, IGL Brett "brett" Rhein, coach Ahmed "ayy" Mahmoud, and FishTheHusky have turned to young talent from ESEA Advanced to revitalise the team.

bezymecc joins with relatively less experience, having joined his first team, Lore, last season after qualifying for FACEIT Pro League and making a mark as a pug star in the NA scene. Slump brings more seasoned experience, having competed in the last three seasons of ESEA Advanced playoffs with a mixteam.

Both players will make their ECL debut this season, stepping up against some of North America's top teams.

Regarding nooz's future, Dust2.us reports interest from Perseverance, with FLUFFY AIMERS exploring a loan arrangement to facilitate his move to the Canadian organisation.

FLUFFY AIMERS' current roster includes:

- United States Jason "Jason" Garcia

- United States Diego "sacrifice" Camacho

- United States Brett "brett" Rhein

- Vova "bezymecc" Slobodian

- United States Dylan "slump" N.

- United States Kevin "consti" Yi (Inactive)

- Brazil Israel "LEARSI" Vargas (Inactive)

- Canada Darius "PNDLM" Bandali (Inactive)

FLUFFY AIMERS will debut their new lineup tonight at 06:00 AM against NRG in ESL Challenger League Season 48.
