As is to be expected, there’s quite a lot of teams looking to make moves in the off-season, and thank God for that, we’ve grown tired of too many underperformers.

One such team is Team Spirit, who, after their wins in Shanghai and at BLAST Bounty, we honestly thought would be the team to beat this year.

Maybe we don’t pay enough attention to history, thanks, ropz.

Fortunately, it looks like Spirit will be making at least one change, and thanks to Overdrive (Why is it normal that a Spirit employee reports on Spirit changes, btw?) we know that chopper won’t be going anywhere.

That’s 1-0 to aizyesque in this rostermania.

Instead, Overdrive is saying that magixx will be losing his spot on the team, calling time on his six year long spell on the Spirit main team. As we said earlier, HLTV reports that they’ll be targeting zweih as his replacement, which looks to be a great change after a solid Major from the youngster.

We do get the feeling he won’t be the only new face, though.

FaZe are another team set to make changes, mainly because they don’t actually have an AWPer.

It was expected that they’d be going for s1mple after his showings in Austin, but the GOAT himself has put that move in doubt by saying “sometimes is hard to go out from jail.” Yikes.

Weirdly, he’s not the only NAVI player twerking for FaZe on Twitter. KRL suggested that both iM and jL will be losing their spot on the NAVI roster, and the latter has already posted himself in a FaZe jersey.

We’re not sure he thought that one through.

The reports suggest that one of the replacements will be makazze, the star of the NAVI Junior team, but there is also a chance that Cloud9 buys the entire NAVI Junior team before that happens.

At least it won’t be as bad as their last team.

Speaking of bad teams, HooXi has signed for Astralis. We’re actually happy about that one, but we never miss an opportunity to dog on Astralis. Hopefully he can repeat the Astana heroics and actually make them watchable again. At least for the sake of device’s last few years at the top.

HEROIC are also set to make more changes than expected, they’ve benched xfl0ud and look set to finally bring nilo into the fold. We’re a bit confused by this considering the fact xfl0ud has been legitimately quite good on HEROIC, but at least we’ll finally get to see if nilo will live up to the hype.

Elsewhere, there’s been a few benchings that we don’t really care about, and we don’t think you really should either, but it is “news”. We guess.

In short - because we really don’t want to spend too much time on these moves - hampus has been benched by Metizport, chayJESUS has been benched by Imperial (with chelo potentially replacing him), sl3nd has been benched by GamerLegion, Lucaozy has benched himself over at MIBR, and nawwk has stepped down from BC.Game. Oh, and SAW have gone Portuguese again.

See? We told you they were dull.

And finally, Rare Atom have benched somebody and have replaced him with Trash.

The jokes really do write themselves.
