Liam "malta" Schembri, whose departure from Chiefs was just announced, will now don the Grayhound jersey.

After Chiefs announced the parting of ways with Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri, and with Tainted Minds and Grayhound having released players the day before, it was to be expected that malta would land in one of the two teams. Finally, it will be Grayhound that will have him in its starting roster.

The shuffle comes at an interesting time in Oceania as the IEM Sydney closed qualifiers approach. This will most likely be the most important qualifier for these teams this season as it will give three spots to the 16-team, $250,000, IEM tournament on home soil.

malta will now play under the Grayhound banner

For malta, the move also means he will be able to play the ESL Pro League S7 Asia-Pacific, a league he failed to qualify for with Chiefs, coming in fourth in the closed qualifier. The statement about the change from the organization is the following:

"The team came to the unanimous decision that Callum "⁠BURNRUOk⁠" Henderson was no longer the best fit with how we have already progressed and want to further progress as a team. "We approached malta as he is a very versatile and well rounded player who we believe can fill and even grow the shoes left behind from burn. It's all part of the long-term plan. See y'all at IEM Sydney."
