In a shock announcement from Dragon Ranger Gaming, the 2nd seed from VCT China, Demon1 has joined their organisation ahead of Champions Paris as a substitute in precaution for Visa issues for their Sentinel import, vo0kashu.

Despite being dropped from Leviatan at the end of Stage 1, Demon1 has not been linked to another team all season, even though a lot of teams were making changes during the time after Stage 1.

This announcement came from no where, with fans speculating that it was made from DRG as to create a buzz around their team. He is signed on a conditional contract where if there are any issues with Visa’s Demon1 will step in. Unassumingly, he isn’t a 6th man for them and will play no part if all Visa’s are acquired in time.

As of 08/09, Demon1 has joined the team out in Paris with vo0kashu not being there as he is still awaiting approval. He has remained confident however, that he will make it out to Paris in time for the tournament. It is just unsure if the will make it for their first game of the season against T1 on the 14th of September.

This came about quite suddenly even for Demon1 himself, who has been putting in reps of the sentinel role in ProCity, where he has been putting up high numbers in the PUG environment put together by Tarik in NA.
