Method part ways with MAiNLiNE

The American team representing Method part ways with Michael "MAiNLiNE" Jaber and seek to try out new players before the upcoming online season begins.

The old Paradox lineup was signed by Method, an organisation known for its World of Warcraft roots, back in May. Following a series of lacklustre results over the summer, the team tried various avenues to improve, such as seeking a coach.

Despite fairly subpar performances in both Season 1 of the ESL ESEA Pro League and CEVO-P Season 7, the team have in the past two weeks carved a brighter future for themselves by winning three important qualifications.

These qualifications include the ESL ESEA Relegation match to remain in the Pro League, the CEVO-P Season 8 Placement match to remain in CEVO's Professional division, as well as being the team to qualify for PGL Season 1 in North America.

Regardless, it seems as if the team still believed that a roster change was necessary to improve, as communication issues had been apparent and noted by personalities within the scene during streamed games.

As such, the team have decided to part ways with Michael "⁠MAiNLiNE⁠" Jaber, announcing that they will be trying out new players in his stead.

Method's lineup is now currently:

United States Samuel "⁠SileNt⁠" Portillo
United States Justin "⁠just9n⁠" Ortiz
United States Connor "⁠streboR⁠" Roberts
United States Zachary "⁠Eley⁠" Stauffer

With the online portion for CEVO-P Season 8 already underway and the ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2 kicking off shortly, it is assumed that the trial period will be fairly short and a new player will be announced quickly.

I mean it's lite team trolling throughout, just typical limp wristing. You may find 16:30 Interesting: SileNt3m has been whiffing for 5-10 minutes straight and gets tked from 3 hp. Someone asks "who killed you?" and the answer comes back "justin" to little reaction, but they are all looking to scapegoat someone, by 16:45 they are calling the game a joke just trying to tilt each other. Some real esea pug quality individuals. Release time.

I really don't get why silent was stupid enough to jump from window to noscope him and didn't even get the kill and ended up being tked as well as leaving 3-4 teammates at middle opening up the sites. WHole team seems toxic except for mainline. Also I hate how Silent blames it on his teammate on why he wasn't watching underpass. Well he died trying to, what else do you want him to do? Justin made the right move to throw a nade. Silent was just being a shitty player.

World really?
silent seems like such a whiny bitch and he is a terrible awper....Whenever something went wrong, the team would say that this person did this wrong and silent would just be the yes man. "yea i wanted to do it this way but he didnt"...meanwhile he lost most of his gunfights bc he has terrible aim/control.

Dont know why they would opt for a roster change when infact they were doing quite good as a team. The only thing they needed to work on was communicating better and not talking shit about each other and tilting.. anyways ptr inc i think.
