Attach returns to Minnesota RØKKR starting lineup

Looking to improve their performance and, more importantly, results in the third week of the CDL 2023 Major Stage 5, the Minnesota RØKKR have decided to return Dillon “Attach” Price to the team’s starting lineup.

Recall that, at the end of March, when the RØKKR had a disappointing result at Major III, they decided to bench Attach, one of the most popular players on the scene. In the Major V qualifiers, the team is in eighth place in the standings and will have to face this season’s last two champions, LA Thieves and Toronto Ultra.

Minnesota RØKKR announce Attach’s return to the starting lineup

Through a statement on their Twitter account, the Minnesota RØKKR announced the return of Attach to the team’s starting lineup in place of Marcus “Afro” Reid.

This news comes after the team fell for the second time in the online qualifiers for Major V to Las Vegas Legion last May 14. Now, the team must look for two wins in the final week of the tournament against Toronto and LA Thieves to qualify for the top eight to start the main event in the Winners Bracket.

However, the team is in danger of starting the Major V from the Elimination Brackets, as LA Thieves, reigning Major IV champions, will try to score their first win. Meanwhile, Toronto Ultra is showing a high level of play, just as they did in Major III when they lifted the champions trophy.

Last chance to qualify for the CDL Championship 2023

Remember that Major V is the last chance for teams to qualify for the CDL Championship 2023. The eight best teams (according to the CDL Points they obtained throughout the season) will be present at this final event that marks the end of the 2023 season.

On the other hand, the RØKKR know that they must have good results from now on to qualify for the CDL Championship 2023. Remember that, in the previous season’s edition; the team failed to qualify by only 20 CDL Points. Undoubtedly, this was disappointing for this team that got fourth place in the CDL Championship 2021 and also managed to win the last Major of that season.

Minnesota come to terms with its bad decision

There is no doubt that the announcement of Attach’s return to the team’s starting lineup is nothing more than a confirmation that it was a terrible decision to promote Kevin “Fame” Bonanno from the Challengers scene. Since then, the team has only managed to beat teams at the bottom of the overall standings and have had no positive results so far.

As mentioned, the RØKKR will have to face two really powerful opponents this last week to fight to finish inside the TOP 8 of the table. The first match of Week 3 will be against LA Thieves on Friday, May 19, while the last will be on Sunday, May 21, against Toronto Ultra.
