Yuji comments on Tempo Storm exit

The 22-year-old has reunited with his BootKamp teammates on W7M after returning to Brazil following a short spell with Tempo Storm, whom he had joined as replacement for Bruno "⁠shz⁠" Martinelli.

Lucas "⁠YJ⁠" Yuji was never unveiled as a Tempo Storm member, but he played one official match for the team, a 2-1 defeat against Braxton "⁠swag⁠" Pierce's GX in the North American qualifier for DreamHack Open Winter.

Yuji slams Tempo Storm

In a Twitlonger post, YJ bemoaned his treatment by Tempo Storm, stating that the North American organisation treated him like "a nobody".

"I arrived at the gaming house on the 10th, I played in the qualifier and everything was normal," he wrote. "The plan was for us to practice until December, go on vacation and return in January fully focused to try to secure promotion to the main leagues.

"However, four or five days after my arrival, Tempo Storm decided some things with the senior players of the team, and, sadly, I was not part of the organisation's plans.

"The things that will happen are for the best for the guys who will stay on, they had no idea that this was happening and they were also caught by surprise.

"What really disappointed me was the way the organisation treated me. They did not approach me to announce me, they never officially told me what was going to happen.

"I was treated like a nobody, I did not even have the chance to sign a contract. I expected more from an organisation that, in my eyes, is really big in North America and has been represented by many Brazilian players."

YJ's return to Brazil comes amid reports that Tempo Storm are looking to sign Immortals duo João "⁠horvy⁠" Horvath and shz - the only two members of the team who are currently allowed to reside in the United States as Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca and Lucas "⁠destiny⁠" Bullo have experienced visa issues.

Tempo Storm currently have:

 Paulo "⁠land1n⁠" Felipe
 Ricardo "⁠s1⁠" Shinji
 Denis "⁠dzt⁠" Fischer
 Alef "⁠tatazin⁠" Pereira
