📝 Stalk3r back in action with Crazy Raccoon

The rumours that have been flying around ever since Jeong “Stalk3r” Hak-yong’s playtime was put on hold by Team Falcons have finally been confirmed. Team Falcons’ biggest rivals, Crazy Raccoon, have signed Stalk3r for 2026.

One of the most decorated and skilled flex DPS players in the world, Stalk3r lifted the 2024 World Finals trophy and came in second in the Champions Clash with Team Falcons before the team benched him for the remainder of the season.

Whether his skill still holds up after missing two OWCS stages and LANS is the main question. Time will tell whether he can reach the heights he did on Falcons, or if there will be a period of adjustment for him and Crazy Raccoon.

The other question is how he will fit into Crazy Raccoon’s roster rotation. They saw a huge amount of success last year with their current flex DPS Chae “HeeSang” Hee-sang, and it is unclear whether Stalk3r has been brought in as the new #1 flex DPS option, or a rotation player that unlocks a terrifying double-flex lineup should Crazy Raccoon wish to play it.

Stalk3r’s future has been an incredibly hot topic for a long time, and for him to finally land on Crazy Raccoon has the potential to reshape the pecking order that was established at last month’s bootcamp. OWCS Korea’s top teams are stacked to the brim with talent this year, and the competition over the limited LAN spots will be fierce.
