Team Blaze's new roster is in, and it features both competitive veterans as well as some newer faces.

Returning from UT Arlington's Heroes of the Dorm squad, Dark Blaze, is Yusuf "Kure" Sunka, who will play ranged assassin for the team. Joining him in the backline are ranged flex Cory "TR4PQU33n" Austin and support Todd "LexUther" Stevenson, both former members of Team oVo.

Holding down the frontline will be warrior Orie "YoDa" Guo, who has had stints with a number of NA squads including Squirtle Squad, Stellar Lotus and Hot Dog Burglars. Melee/Flex Dan "DanLeeFor3" Lee, formerly of Team Blank and a member of UConn's Tricky Turtles at Heroes of the Dorm, rounds out the roster.

While the new members of Blaze are technically still trying out, they will compete in the first qualifier for the NA Summer Regional #2. The second NA regional will take place in the familiar environs of the ESL Studios in Burbank, CA.

In an interview with theScore esports, Patrick "ShadowSmile" Smiley expressed his excitement at the prospect of seeing Blaze's newest roster in action.

"I'm very enthusiastic to bring some of the talent from Heroes of the Dorm with DanLeeFor3 from UConn and Kure from UT Arlington into the professional scene. YoDa, LexUther and TR4PQU33N bring the veteran status with their previous rosters and results," he said. "Hopefully the mix of 'old' and 'new' can bring results to Team Blaze. This roster is still in tryout mode as we look to refine and define roles with the new Heroes of the Storm team."

The four remaining members of the Blaze's former roster left on April 17 to join Panda Global. At that time, team owner Patrick "ShadowSmile" Smiley tweeted that he would be open to recruiting a new roster if there were players willing to work with him.

If I find players want to play under the @TeamBlazeGG banner, I will restart the tryout process and build from the ground up. — Patrick D Smiley (@ShadowSmile) April 17, 2016

The old roster's tendency for strange, off-meta picks was one of the reasons that they developed a devoted fanbase, but whether this new Blaze roster displays the same affinity for pocket picks remains to be seen.

The first qualifier for NA Summer Regional #2 is set to start April 24 at 1 p.m. EST.
