Midway through the DPC 2018-2019 season, Forward Gaming has mixed up their lineup, replacing three players.
As the Grand Finals are being played out at DreamLeague Season 11 Major, marking the end of the halfway point of the new season, Forward Gaming has announced they have revamped their roster.
The North American team was just competing together as of a few days ago in Sweden. After a dismal performance in the group stage, assuming the last place position, they were eliminated by Ninjas in Pyjamas in the first round of the lower brackets.
In September 2018, Forward Gaming was born, picking up the ex VGJ.Storm roster. At that time they also had announced that they were replacing Jingjun 'Sneyking' Wu with Fnatic player Saahil ‘UNiVeRse’ Arora.
Forward Gaming has had a commendable season, currently sitting in the 14th position with 300 points, just barely out of the range of TI9 direct invite - until now. Their points will be doc'd for the roster change and will fall down the rank ladder significantly.
Roman ‘Resolut1on’ Fominok will still be part of the organization, being moved into an inactive status for the time being. For now, UNiVeRse has reported he will be taking a break. There has been no update from Avery 'SVG' Silverman at this point.
Forward Gaming Roster:
Yawar 'YawaR' Hassan
Quinn 'CC&C' Callahan
Jingjun 'Sneyking' Wu
Arif 'MSS' Anwar
Kartik 'Kitrak' Rathi
