POV.wp has returned with three former compLexity players joining two free agents.

The compLexity lineup was released this week after several players missed their flights for MSI BEAT IT in China.

Irukandji, dboorN and hero were quick to find a new home: Paragon of Virtue. Joining them are aZn - which was meant to act as a stand-in for coL in WCG - and savi0r.

Savi0r was a member of compLexity when x3o joined them back in 2009 and already played for Excello. As for aZn, he has been team less for a long time but has played in sides such as zEx or EG in the past.

With these players, POV.wp looks as follows:

Andrew 'Irukandji' Timmerman

David 'savi0r' Park

Derek 'dboorN' Boorn

Jeff 'hero' Mettetal

Kevin 'aZn' Wang

The team can be seen competing in ESEA Season 7.
