The new Usubeni roster is Yakzn, Sabinater, Suppressed, and Acid. Piggy and Breakingshot got dropped and are free agents.

Piggy says "Dylan [Breakingshot] and I got shaded. I had a 1.2 K/D in Birmingham and saved us from top 6, good luck to them I guess." He says the new roster is "gonna be a baitfest now."

Piggy said "I spent half the tournament today listening to us bitch at each other instead of calling out lol." He said "I was looking at a new graph on Data Hive that looks at your stats relative to your team, the only one higher than me this year was LastShot lmao. I am the ice."

Suppressed confirmed this in aPG's chat, he said "yeah we'll be signed up and be playing Falcated and co today in a scrim, 5pm EST stay tuned."

Piggy was asked what he thought about the new Luminon Gaming roster with Snakebite. He said “They’re good, they’re looking good. They played well today.”

Envore who was dropped for Falcated a few days ago chimed in pointing out that the new Luminon Gaming dominated his old team 12-0 in scrims. Envore thinks that his old roster isn’t the same without him and says: “I watched them play scrims, and I saw them get goosed in scrims, bro. That shit was actually insane. I was like hoping they'd win one, at least one. They just could not win one, that shit was tough."

Envore says “I can’t wait for this upcoming weekend [DH ATL Open #2 tournament]. I'm rubbing my hands together.“

Congrats to Shopify on winning Dreamhack Atlanta Open #1. We just saw the very best series of the year so far between Shopify and Luminon Gaming, in a closely contested Grand Finals where Luminon won the first series to reset, and then Shopify took the second.

Snakebite only returned a week ago and has literally just two scrims and hours of play time with this roster, but they just went head-to-head against the reigning champions. It's a very promising start for the new Luminon Gaming roster.

The next tournament (Dreamhack Atlanta Open #2) is this weekend at the regular times of Saturday and Sunday, with LVT Halo broadcasting it again. That tournament might have different teams with rostermania still underway. We might see the return of Bound, and there's players like Suppressed, Sab, Cearion, Descendant, Envore that are still unaccounted for in this rostermania.

Luminon Gaming sweeps Usubeni 3-0, eliminating them from the tournament at 3rd. After the Yakzn popoff at Birmingham, Trippy got his revenge this time and returned the favor. Luminon Gaming move on to Grand Finals against Shopify Rebellion (who has winners advantage).

Snakebite is looking like a great pickup for Luminon - Snakebite led in kills with 61, led in KA/D with a 2.10, and dealt the most damage of the team. Not bad at all for someone who was sitting on the couch just a few days ago.

Luminon Gaming swept Inconceivable 3-0 to eliminate them from the tournament. Luminon now move on to Elimination Finals against Usubeni. That's going to be a spicy matchup considering the Yakzn/Trippy beef, it's also the first time the new Luminon roster is playing Usubeni.

Shopify defeat Usubeni 3-1 to move on to the Grand Finals (with winner advantage).

The next matchup is the elimination semifinals where Luminon Gaming (with new 4th Snakebite) faces off against Inconceivable (Penguin, Stellur, Eco, Sab filling for Bound). The winner of that matchup will play Usubeni in the elimination finals.

Note: missing two of the post-game stats screens since LVT was jumping between matches instead of showing the stats

After Kraken/Usubeni reverse swept Luminon and won a 50-49 game 5 slayer in the Birmingham LAN, Trippy says "Yak got up and was just pointing at me, yelling at me the whole time, which I thought was pretty funny. And then he can't look at me in the eyes and say GG's, so I thought that was pretty pussy after doing that, that was extremely pussy."

Trippy claims Yakzn singled him out because "he can't kill me online, and honestly he couldn't really kill me on LAN either. It was one of those series where he knew deep down in his heart he shouldn't have won that, but he did, so he's just letting out all of his anger. But I don't even care, they deserved to win that."

The reason Yakzn yelled at Trippy in the first place is seemingly because Trippy had some minor trash talk in scrims (some examples at the end). Now it's turning into a back-and-forth beef.
