Arkosh Gaming has been eradicated from DPC NA 2023 Tour 1: Closed Qualifier after being defeated by NA stack monopoly (also called dangerous guys) within the Decrease Bracket Quarterfinals. Regardless of a seemingly all-star roster, the lineup of Max “qojqva” Bröcker, Steve “Xcalibur” Ye, Jaron “monkeys-forever” Clinton, Zakari “Zfreek” Freedman, and Kim “Febby” Yong-min have been defeated 2-1 by a group of relative unknowns (not less than exterior of NA pubs).
The defeat brings to the tip the hopes of Arkosh qualifying on to the NA DPC, and comes after a humbling run in Closed Qualifiers. After edging into the lineup in the course of the Open Qualifier, Arkosh have been instantly defeated 2-1 collection that featured three Arkosh alums on the opposite facet. Brian “BSJ” Canavan, Andrew “Jenkins” Jenkins, Jason “Newsham” Newsham, previously Arkosh’s Palehose, Gremlo, and Crow, dealt defeat and humiliation to their opponents beneath the mantle of Fart Studios.
This led to Arkosh falling to the decrease bracket, the place a questionable little bit of bracket administration from organizer PGL noticed Arkosh’s opponent change to Group Magnus, who they barely edged by. This is able to seemingly set them on a collision course with Fart Studios once more, in a grudge match for the ages. However it was to not be, as monopoly defeated Arkosh in each the opening and last sport of the collection, humbling the NA group.
What now for Arkosh Gaming?
With the defeat, questions on Arkosh and its future will now swirl. The group, on paper, appeared unbelievable this season. The choice to drop its squad of dota personalities in favor of professionals and streamers appeared like a fantastic alternative. With a dramatic rebrand, an unbelievable launch, and plenty of of NA’s staple groups and lacking in motion this season, it appeared like the celebs have been aligning for Arkosh Gaming
However the outcomes don’t inform the identical story. A shocking battle by Open Qualifiers, and now a shock defeat means Arkosh’s goat has been gelded. Even earlier than the defeat, the group was joking about disbanding.
Arkosh Gaming will now need to look into various strategies to make it within the NA DPC this season (reminiscent of buying a slot), or simply bide their time till the Tour 2.
