Rogue request emergency EPL transfer

Rogue have contacted WESA to request an emergency transfer in the ESL Pro League, according to a report from Dust2.us.

The move comes as a result of the removal of Collin "⁠wrath⁠" McSweegan's from Rogue's active roster following a 13th-place finish in the ESL Pro League, which forces the team to take part in a relegation stage to keep their spot in the $1 million competition.

wrath, who has been seen playing for Ghost in recent weeks, allegedly refused to play for Rogue any longer upon hearing that he was being benched, leaving the team in a very difficult situation as they cannot make any additions to their roster following the league's trade deadline.

Rogue turn to WESA to request an extra transfer

Rogue reportedly fear that, even if the 16-year-old agrees to play, he will not do so to the best of his abilities, which would severely hurt their chances in a relegation stage that will include Immortals, GX and the loser of the ESEA Premier final between Rise Nation and SoaR

The emergency transfer process was created by WESA in September following the internal issues that left Immortals without a five-man roster to play in the league. It can be granted "in the event of extraordinary circumstances" and allows a team to complete a roster change outside of the transfer window.

It seems very unlikely that WESA will respond favourably to the request, however, as Rogue still have two eligible players outside of their starting roster: team coach Garett "⁠Grt⁠" Bambrough and backup member Michael "⁠Uber⁠" Stapells.

Your information is wrong, Hiko didn't get kicked from Liquid. It was an agreement between him and team owner to step down because of internal problems with him and s1mple. He also mentioned the fact that he had lost his drive to play during the times the issues arose. He talked about it on his Twitch stream.

I never stated simple had a problem with Hiko. I said simple and Hiko had internal problems with the team. Hiko protected simple, when Elige was being the douche bag he always has been. And this caused an internal problem with the team because Hiko dam near put simple on that team. My information isn't incorrect. Especially since i know them. K?

Dude you literally degraded to the same level as me.On a side note, SK fans are so repulsive because they believe SK represent them when they are SK's fans but the truth is, SK fans are SK fans because in real life, SK fans are so unachievable and useless so they want to be successful SK fans just to make them feel like they mean something in real life.
