Splyce remove PC and abE

The decision to release two players comes after the ESL One Cologne 2016 Main Qualifier where the North American team finished 12th-14th, failing to qualify for the Major.

Andrew "⁠Professor_Chaos⁠" Heintz averaged a 0.82 rating across 29 maps in the past three months and failed to have more than a 1.00 rating in any tournament during his tenure with Splyce. Abraham "⁠abE⁠" Fazli, on the other hand, spent the last three months with a 0.87 rating and had a 0.92 LAN rating in 2016.

The team released a statement on their website and cited the low ceiling that the roster had to justify the moves.

"We appreciate their hard work and fiercely competitive nature, and we are grateful to them for playing a key role in the foundation of the Splyce CS:GO team. We have enjoyed our time working with them and wish them the best in their careers moving forward." the statement from Splyce read.

"Despite our Cinderella run to the first North American major, the team agreed that the existing lineup hit a glass ceiling, keeping us from reaching the next tier of success in CS:GO. The roster openings will allow us to try out potential players for the fall season. Any additional roster additions will be posted on Splyce.gg when trials are completed and new players are signed."

The roster of Splyce consist of:

Arya "⁠arya⁠" Hekmat
David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford
Jason "⁠jasonR⁠" Ruchelski
