Following a prolonged period of instability, InControl has officially solidified its lineup for the 2025 season, securing 16-year-old talent Pishoy “den1ed” M. as the final member of their ESL Challenger League Season 49 roster. The announcement, made late last night, marks the end of a tumultuous stretch for the team, which has spent the past few months struggling to maintain a stable roster ahead of the competitive season. Since early November, the squad has been in a state of flux, repeatedly making adjustments to fill gaps in its lineup.
Much like several of his new teammates, den1ed is stepping into the ESL Challenger League for the first time, making his debut at a remarkably young age. Despite his youth, he has already started to make a name for himself, having played his first recorded HLTV match in late 2023. Over the course of 2024, he reached the ESEA Advanced playoffs twice, demonstrating potential as a rising star in the North American scene.
Prior to joining InControl, den1ed was considered for a move to LAG, where he was set to team up with Samet “SnacKZ1” Hosel and Ufuk “sehza” Hosafci. However, that opportunity ultimately fell apart when Deniz “Experative” Mutlum and Raymon “rayxts” Mando returned to the LAG roster, forcing him to seek other opportunities. Now, with his arrival, InControl hopes to finally stabilize its lineup and turn its focus toward competition.
With their roster officially set, InControl is now prepared to navigate the challenges of ESL Challenger League Season 49 and strive for success in the 2025 circuit.
The finalized lineup consists of:
Dylan “DYLAN” Frivalt
Sam “milo” Cash
Ty “TyRa” Aron
Justin “jsfeltner” Feltner
Pishoy “den1ed” M. Antonio “Aj” Garcia (Coach).
