During Stage 2, zekken has stood out as one of the top 10 duelists in North America, clocking in 161.3 ADR across Noble's runs in the Champions Tour alongside NSG and Knights monthly events. XSET's Chief Operator Officer Marco Mereu told Upcomer that XSET had been watching the 16-year-old star closely and moved to acquire him when the player was made available.

At time of publication, XSET have yet to specify if zekken will join as a sixth man or if another player will be moved to the bench, where they'll briefly join Matthew "wedid" Suchan, who NRG Esports are eyeing as a potential fifth.

XSET XSET Inactive are now:

Rory "dephh" Jackson
Zachary "zekken" Patrone
Bryce "PureR" Lovell
Jordan "AYRIN" He
Brendan "BcJ" Jensen
Zander "thwifo" Kim
Matthew "WeDid" Suchan (Inactive)
Don "SyykoNT" Muir (Coach)

I don’t think it’s Dephh who’s getting replaced but we’ll see. Might be a 6-man for some time.

So many questions

Is XSET a 6-man roster now? If not, who is getting benched/kicked? Will Zekken be on Raze/another duelist or will they have him change roles?

It’s always great to see young players getting signed to bigger teams. Excited for the new roster to debut.

Maybe like a long term development type thing? Keep zekken around on a long contract cuz they think he'll be a top talent, have him scrim with good players in a good environment can even amplify that.

If they are going to make a replacement, then I hate to say it but it might be Thwifo or BcJ. This might sound like a hot take but after seeing Wedid being removed I see this being a possibility.
