This seismic shift in the roster came on the heels of Shopify Rebellion bidding farewell to Tal "Fly" Aizik, Abed "Abed" Yusop, and Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen on November 8th. The departure marked the end of a four-year collaboration with Arteezy, paving the way for a fresh, invigorating lineup.
Yopaj, renowned for his aggressive playstyle as the former midlaner for BOOM Esports, is set to make his debut outside the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. His inclusion promises a significant boost to Shopify Rebellion's team dynamics, backed by victories at the GAMERS GALAXY: Invitational Series Dubai 2022 and GAMERS GALAXY: Invitational Series Thailand 2022 with BOOM Esports.
Thiolicor, previously associated with D2 Hustlers, assumes the role of position 4 (soft support) with a wealth of experience dating back to 2015. Fans eagerly anticipate witnessing his strategic prowess, exemplified by memorable plays such as a game-changing counter-initiation against OldG, where he deftly stole a Black Hole, resulting in the decimation of the opposing team.
Completing the revamped roster is Kitrak, a former OG player endorsed by two-time The International (TI) winner Anathan "ana" Pham. Kitrak's proficiency as a hard support adds a layer of strategic depth to the team.
