Dire Wolves today announced the signing of Chen "Ray" Rui-wei and the decision to move Huang "HARAM3E" Chih-hang from the bench to a core position.
The announcement comes just hours before they are scheduled to take on Team Bliss today in the Six Invitational 2023 Closed Qualifier.
HARAM3E and Ray replace former star player Wu "Reeps96" Weichen and now-retired IGL Hou "Ed" Tsung-cheng.
Reeps96 had left the team after an apparent disagreement, though he still under contract until Mar. 1 2023, while Ed opted to retire after being benched.
Ray had previously been part of the Dire Wolves team from Mar. 2020 to Mar. 2022, across its various guises. HARAM3E had then been signed to replace Ray on the team in Mar. 2022, but had been moved to a substitute and analyst position in Sep. 2022.
