Warden, desi in ex

The Clutch Con organisers have confirmed that the former iBUYPOWER team will be in attendance at the event with two last-minute changes.

The North American giants were due to attend MLG X Games Aspen last weekend but pulled out of the event just days before its start after new evidence of the players allegedly losing a CEVO match on purpose was revealed.

Questions about the team's attendance at Clutch Con, which will take place this weekend, were immediately raised, especially after Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin revealed that he was already looking for a new challenge after a brief spell with the FACEIT League runners-up.

desi to play for ex-IBP at Clutch Con 

Shahrad "IndependenT" Shahseta, who works as an Operations Manager for Clutch Con, has now put an end to all speculation by confirming that the team will be in attendance at the event, albeit with two stand-ins as Sam "⁠DaZeD⁠" Marine is also nowhere to be seen.

To fill the two vacant posts, the team will field Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen, who played for iBP at DreamHack Winter as a stand-in, and former eLevate member Matt "⁠Warden⁠" Dickens, who joined Liquid as coach last week.

ex-IBP have been drawn in Clutch Con Group's C, alongside Torqued, WinOut and HellsGamers. The team will attend the event with:

Keven "⁠AZK⁠" Lariviere
 Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham
 Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce
 Matt "⁠Warden⁠" Dickens (stand-in)
 Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen  (stand-in)
