Torqued mix to attend RGN Pro Series

The team that will replace Conquest at the RGN Pro Series Championship is a Torqued mix, featuring players such as Joshua 'steel' Nissan and Jake 'Stewie2k' Yip.

Just yesterday it was announced that Conquest, a North American team that made waves at the CEVO Season 8 finals with a semifinals placing, had dropped out of the RGN Pro Series due to a scheduling conflict with final matches in the ESL ESEA Pro League.

The news left Group D with three contestants: Luminosity, Winterfox, and CLG Red. However, RGN have already managed to announce an eyebrow-raising replacement for Conquest.

The replacement is none other than Torqued, a powerhouse mix usually containing some of North America's most luminous and most controversial figures, primarily because it often features several players banned by Valve for matchfixing earlier this year.

Torqued were last seen in action at Fragadelphia 6, which the team led by Sam "⁠DaZeD⁠" Marine was not prohibited from attending and managed to win the first place title thereat.

However, it has been revealed that three of the previous attendees for Torqued, DaZeD, Keven "⁠AZK⁠" Lariviere, and Armeen "⁠a2z⁠" Toussi, will be unable to attend RGN and instead a true mix-like "Torqued" team has been chosen.

Torqued's roster at RGN Pro Series LAN will therefore be:

Francis "⁠kiko⁠" Lao
Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan
Mohamad "⁠mOE⁠" Assad
Paul "⁠n2g⁠" Lao
Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip 

In addition, it was revealed last Friday that 3sUP would be unable to attend the event (although 3sUP player Arya "⁠arya⁠" Hekmat would fill in for Method's David "⁠Toy⁠" Han) and Nexus eSports have replaced the team in Group A. Groups for the RGN Pro Series are now:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
CLG	Cloud9	Liquid	Luminosity
Renegades	compLexity	CSGOLounge	Torqued
Nexus	Method	Games Academy	Winterfox
Enemy	Nexus Storm	SKDC	CLG Red

The RGN Pro Series kicks off the day after the iBUYPOWER CS:GO Invitational concludes and takes place inside of the same venue in Santa Ana, California.
