Sources: Diamondcon targeted as FeLo replacement

The reshuffle at LA Guerrillas M8 continues as the team seeks to replace experienced AR player Tyler "FeLo" Johnson, following a disappointing season and ongoing struggles despite several roster changes.

Previously, it was reported on the management changes taking place, and this seems to be their attempt to navigate the Esports World Cup roster change rules. Teams are restricted to making only one roster change before the tournament unless if team's players are free agents before the tournament and need to be replaced (i.e, Carolina Royal Ravens).

Unfortunately for Gotaga's LA franchise, it's difficult to make significant roster overhauls, with the majority of players locked down until after EWC.

As a result, management is now focusing on someone they know well: Conor "Diamondcon" Johst. The Canadian currently plays for the Challengers organization, Team WaR, which has also qualified for EWC. Diamondcon performed admirably during his recent time under the LAG banner in Modern Warfare III, helping the team qualify for COD Champs and achieving a top 3 finish at Major 4. This move is expected to be temporary, as the organization will monitor and assess its future following the tournament.

The potential LA Guerrillas M8 roster for EWC would consist of:

○ Conor "Diamondcon" Johst
○ Noah "Lunarz" Whillock
○ Matthew "KiSMET" Tinsley
○ Giancarlos "oJohnny" Carrasco
