After cutting fl1p in April, Publiclir.se have been searching for a new pocket scout. Premiership debut of the season p-rez seemed a good fit, having recently become a free agent with the death of Planet Express. Following his trials in the recent DreamHack Summer Qualifiers, Publiclir have decided to add p-rez to their starting roster.

p-rez had a breakthrough season despite Planet Express' disappointing 6th place finish. His aim and clean-up ability carried them through many important teamfights; p-rez also managed to avoid the vice of so many scouts with good deathmatch skills by not over-reaching, going for plays, and leaving his medic stranded. When it became obvious that Planet Express were not continuing, the highly praised "Premiership Debut of the Season" was courted by Publiclir.

Publiclir medic and maincaller ondkaja talked about the recent acquisition:

We picked up p-rez because he really proved himself the last season, and is a really solid pocket scout. He is going to have a more defined role within the team than our previous scout, which should reduce some inconsistencies we have in the team. Our goal right now is to qualify for DreamHack Summer which I think we have a good chance of doing, and try to improve as much as possible for i58. The ultimate goal is to win of course, no point in playing if you don't go for the gold!

Publiclir have been so far unable to live up to their 3rd place ETF2L result in a tournament format. In the first DreamHack Summer Qualifier they were eliminated in the first round by a high-ping mix of froyotech players, while in the second they were beaten in the Grand Final by the retired SUAVE team. Publiclir have 1st seed going into the third Qualifier.

The Publiclir roster is now:
