With Hawk leaving the Ex-Bandits to join Dire Wolves (pending announcement), the former top 8 lineup of Siki and Spratt have been looking for a new third. In Hawk’s place, the Ex-Bandits now appear set to pick up Bailey ‘Mock’ Bedford for the team heading into the Spring Split.
Having played alongside Siki on Wildcard throughout Fall and the beginning of Winter for solid results, including a 5th-6th finish in the first event of Winter, before achieving top 8 with pickup team ‘The Kibbles’, Mock will be a strong addition to the team for the coming split.
Although Hawk’s role is difficult to fill, Mock is one of the top players in the region currently searching for a team and should help the lineup to return to top 8. The team have played together in the Autumn Premier, where they went 5-0 against strong competition, and even with the move still pending, but should be confirmed in the coming days.
