The Last Resort picks up Dripmen, heading into the next season of UKIC and ESEA Main.
At the end of last season, TLR went their separate ways with its roster. This change can be linked to the team’s underperformance at both EPIC.LAN and UKIC Season 5 Division 1.
Staying regimented in their commitment to UK CS, TLR continued the hunt for a new squad shortly after. UKCSGO understands that during this period, The Last Resort was interested in picking up ANTARCTICA before they imploded.
After The Last Resort dropped its roster, both Kirk “Tadpole” Stephens and Joshua “JAUSTERE” Philpott retired from competitive Counter-Strike. The statement that Fraser “frazehh” Sollom put on X does not mention what happened to DeXteR or his plans for the future.
With only Connor “Bigun007” Suddons and frazehh remaining, the rebuild was on, as the old Dripmen tag was revived.
Rhys “Rhys” Stumbles and Isaac “Isaac” Patto join from Glitchtech, who were relegated from UKIC Division 1. Both have played with Dripmen before – Rhys in 2022 and Isaac in 2023. The fifth spot goes to Joseph “godkU” Fowkes, who has recently plied his trade with Annex Esports as an in-game leader; that roster recently disbanded despite an unbeaten season in UKIC Division 2. This is the first time that godkU will join this band of brothers on the server.
Interestingly, in this new project, long-time IGL godkU will be taking a step back as frazehh maintains captaincy.
As there was no bad blood between the two parties when Dripmen were open to offers, TLR brought them back into the fold. Bigun007 joins back with TLR, continuing his lengthy stretch with the organisation, dating back all the way to early 2024.
This roster is studded with high-quality players who have played at the top of UK CS. The issue is that they all come off somewhat disappointing seasons. Glitchtech were aiming for the Grand Finals of EPIC.LAN 44 but ended up bowing out 9th-12th. Similarly, TLR, as mentioned, had a disappointing season regionally with notable highlights. Even though Annex had an unbeaten run in the regular season of UKIC Division 2, there hasn’t been much to note for godkU over the last few months. This new project will allow not only godkU to show he still has what it takes, but every player as a whole.
The Last Resort will compete in ESEA Main and UKIC Season 6 Division 1 with:
Fraser “frazehh” Sollom
Connor “Bigun007” Suddons
Rhys “Rhys” Stumbles
Isaac “Isaac” Patto
Joseph “godkU” Fowkes
