The ????? ?????? ??? ??????? ????????Macedonian rifler will take the place of Saad "?Pluto?" Siraj in ATK's EPL campaign.

ATK have registered BLUEJAYS rifler Aleksandar "?CacaNito?" Kjulukoski to their roster in ESL Pro League Season 17, with the player taking the place of Pluto on the team's roster according to their EPL team page.

The 22-year-old Macedonian has put up strong numbers for BLUEJAYS in tier two and tier three European competitions, averaging a 1.15 rating in the past three months across a number of CCT events. His numbers were even better across 2022, impressing with a 1.19 rating and 1.30 impact, but he still remains largely untested against top-tier opposition (just 20 maps against top 20 opponents in 2022).

CacaNito will fill in for ATK in EPL

CacaNito's addition for EPL comes just a day after ATK fell short of qualifying for the BLAST.tv Paris Major Americas RMR, falling to Nouns in the 2-2 round of the closed qualifier. ATK's in-game leader Gareth "?MisteM?" Ries took to Twitter shortly after their elimination to express his discontent with the team's progress in recent weeks, later going on to state that it "still doesn’t feel real, like our performance is unacceptable."

It is unknown whether CacaNito will be a permanent addition to ATK, or if they will find a different long-term solution for their roster. The team reside in EPL Group D alongside the likes of Natus Vincere and Liquid, so they have plenty of time to get some practice in with the Macedonian ahead of their first match against ENCE on March 15.
