Andbox and Built By Gamers announce roster changes for NSG March

With the next NSG Monthly, Nerd Street Gamers Monthly - March, beginning tomorrow, many teams are using it to test out roster swaps before VCT Stage 2 begins next week. Built By Gamers and NYFU have both announced adjustments for the event.

Built By Gamers will be running with Jake "POACH" Brumleve and Raymond "Rarkar" Xu for the event, replacing Mike "pho" Panza and Rob "rob-wiz" Kennedy respectively. pho has posted that he has been allowed to explore options, while robwiz hasn’t updated his status yet.

Rarkar is only just coming back into competition after taking many months off after the dissolution of the original China Nguyen roster, while ex-Andbox IGL POACH found some good results with his old team but was released in February. POACH has long been praised for what he brought to that Andbox roster, while robwiz has always been a Jett that has required massive resources, so if Rarkar can allow the team to be more flexible, BBG may find more success.

On Andbox’s end, Adam "mada" Pampuch has been brought in somewhat officially after a few months of playing with the team, while ex-Cloud9 member Daniel "vice" Kim will round out the roster in place of Christopher "Rebo" Heindel. The roles will be interesting to watch here - while mada has been running duelists, he previously played Sova when trialing for Luminosity Gaming, and Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker has taken Breach at times as well. All this is to say that Andbox could adequately run a single-duelist composition if they wanted. We’ll just have to see what they pull out.

Built By Gamers’ NSG March lineup is:

Joseph “bjor” Bjorklund William “Will” Cheng Tristan “Critical” Trinacty Raymond “Rarkar” Xu Jake “POACH” Brumleve

Charles “heino” Heino (Coach)

While Andbox’s is:

Jaccob “yay” Whitaker Sebastian “seb” Bucki Aaron “b0i” Thao Adam “mada” Pampuch Daniel “vice” Kim

Matt “Warden” Dickens (Coach) Gordan “g0g1” Prošić (Assistant coach)
