MAKONGA add a portuguese duo for Season 4
BESL Pro Season 4 is right around the corner and while for some teams the time before the start of the season means competing in the qualifiers for a spot in the league, others spend that time assembling their squads.
One of the few teams whose roster has not yet been revealed is MAKONGA - a team that qualified for BESL Pro last season via the first open qualifier and was later on one step away from reaching the LAN finals (5th-8th place finish).
This season, however, the team's captain, Marius “CagXD” Michailov, has decided to give his team a fresh look by cutting three players and leaving only Dovydas “LaimB” Oržekauskas as the lone survivor from the previous roster.

With that being said, players like Aurimas “Bymas” Pipiras, Marijus “slokker” Jazbutis and Lukas “shorkly” Pauparis are no longer part of MAKONGA. The first two have no moved on to represent other teams in our competition (Bymas to 1337HUANIA; slokker to FiGURE05), while shorkly is seemingly set to sit on the sidelines this time around.
To fill in the three open spots in the team, CagXD has now acquired the services of Lithuanian player Mindaugas “Atikan” Spiliauskas and two players from Portugal - Fábio “TwixY” Pedro and Simao “Stepa9” Stepanov. The newly added trio has not yet played in BESL Pro competitions.
The complete roster of MAKONGA for Season 4 can be found down below:
BESL Pro Season 4 is set to start on the 23rd of September with sixteen best Baltic state teams battling it out for the prize pool of €9,000. More details can be found in the BESL Pro Season 4 announcement.
