ESL announce Cologne talent

ESL have revealed the talent lineup for the $1,000,000 Major, which features 14 members across five roles.

ESL One Cologne will mark the return of Duncan "Thorin" Shields to ESL-organized events after more than two years (since EMS One Katowice 2014).

Joining him on the analyst desk will be ESL's usual host, Alex "Machine" Richardson, as well as Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović and the newest RoomOnFire addition, Jason "⁠moses⁠" O'Toole.

Mitch "UberShouts" Leslie will take over the role of a roaming host

The remainder of the ROF trio will naturally be present as commentators alongside three more duos, Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer-Matthew "Sadokist" Trivett, FACEIT's Daniel "ddk" Kapadia-James "JZFB" Bardolph and ESL's Lauren "Pansy" Scott-John "BLU" Mullen.
