FAV Gaming today announced a significant set of roster changes, following the departure of Ken "K-RAISER" Takazawa on Feb. 1.
Signed ahead of the start of the 2023 season are Masahiro "Candy" Minagi and former Nora-Rengo star Yuta "ReyCyil" Inoue, while their former player Hikaru "Li9ht" Osawa has been moved to a coaching role and their former coach Kaito "OdeNMiso" Yonezu has been moved to an analyst role.
Since his departure from Nora-Rengo in 2020, ReyCyil had been playing for Sengoku Gaming until Dec. 2022. He brings with him experience at two Pro League Finals, the Raleigh Major, and a top four finish at the Six Invitational 2019.
ReyCyil also finished in second place in the Japan League in 2021 with Sengoku, but saw his team get relegated in 2022.
Meanwhile, Candy joins from the now-disbanded REJECT, who finished in third place in Stage 3 of the APAC North Division in 2022 but were also relegated from the Japan League last year.
