Dire Wolves has completed its Oceania Pro League roster for split two 2019 after signing mid laner Lo “Siuman” Pak Man and bot laner Robert “Katsurii” Gouv yesterday.

Siuman has previously played for Exile5 and Regicide, as well as substituting for Chiefs mid laner Chris “Swiffer” Papamarkos during Split 1 2017. He recently played in the OCS with Mammoth Academy in 2018, finishing in third place.

Katsurii played for the Dire Wolves’ academy team, Dire Cubs, in the OCS in 2018. The Dire Cubs finished the OCS in 2018 in fourth place. Having been developed from the Dire Wolves’ academy system, CEO of Dire Wolves Nathan “Rippii” Mott spoke highly of the rookie bot laner.

“I’m confident that Katsurii’s talents will soon be getting him a seat at the OCE greats table and I’m excited to watch his performance in the OPL,” Rippii said.
