In this weeks edition of "The old guard steps back and gets replaced by someone younger," RpK is stepping back from his position on Vitality and will be replaced by (allegedly VAC banned) Frenchman Kyojin.
Note: This unvacbanning had nothing to do with the big unvacbanning above. We think.
Kyojin is a "more support-oriented" player, as per Vitality's team owner, which is why the team didn't just end up slotting Nivera in for Le Tank. RpK wanted to continue to play for the team through Blast, but that came to an abrupt end.
Maybe Vitality and Alex actually did need each other after all
In news from across the pond, tarik has left the active lineup of EG, who have promptly decided to replace the "content king" with superstar... MICHU?
Sure, MICHU is a solid player and he did move to the US to play for Envy, but all things point to floppy being available from Cloud9's failed roster, while Jonji and motm are also opportunities.
In his farewell letter, tarik says the team didn't want to fix the underlying issues he identified, while ingame leader stanislaw says that MICHU is the best player he's ever played with. Well then.
EG? More like EhhhG.
