Luminosity Gaming replace hades with arya

Luminosity Gaming have decided to cut Warren "hades" Rettich from their CS:GO roster, replacing him with Arya "arya" Hekmat.

The news comes somewhat as a surprise for the North American scene, as Luminosity had achieved decent results in both both CEVO and ESEA, qualifying for the LAN finals of both events. 

However, it now appears that the team were not satisfied with hades' performance as an in-game leader, and were looking for a "change of leadership" in the roster. 

Luminosity player Alexander "LeX" Deily had the following to say about the roster change:

Luminosity Gaming has decided to part ways with ^hades as our 5th and in-game leader. All politically correct answers aside, Warren is a friend and a good teammate. He's a hard working player and put the time in for a lot of the success we have seen this season. But with upcoming LANs and morale low, it was clear that we needed a change of leadership and to take our play in a more positive direction. The goal is to always be improving. Never stalling, always forward. We came to the conclusion that to continue improving and to build on previous success, the answer was in our in-game leadership.

On that note, we are proud to announce that our new 5th and in-game leader for the foreseeable future is Arya "arya" Hekmat. By providing us a fresh look strategically, we hope to be able to find a renewed hunger for success and once again be able to compete with the top teams in North America and prove that we can eventually compete in Europe.”

Arya will be joining Luminosity from Area51 Gaming, which now have an unknown and uncomplete roster after they recently lost Mohamad "mOE" Assad as well. 

Luminosity Gaming now have the following roster:

Alexander "LeX" Deily
 Todd "anger" Williams
 Carey "Frozt" Kertenian
 Erik "fl0m" Flom
 Arya "arya" Hekmat
