Most of these players have experience in competitive League of Legends and have played in the Oceanic Open Ladder with the exception of UDYSOF who is determined to prove himself on the rift for the first time.

The players will also be assisted by our new support staff:

Coach – Simon ‘Sype Nav’ Earl

“Our aim is to nurture the talent and develop skills in these young players to help them achieve their dream of a professional esports career. Dire Cubs will have many opportunities for development such Getback’s recent international tour with us at MSI 2018, access to Dire Wolves training facilities such as the SCG Esports High Performance Centre and coaching staff from our OPL team.” – Nathan ‘Rippii‘ Mott, Founder and CEO
