Riot Squad part ways with weber

29-1-2020 14:41

Riot Squad have announced the departure of team coach Brandon "⁠weber⁠" Weber from the organisation.

The British coach, who represented teams like mTw, FM eSports and Endpoint during his playing days, concludes a five-month tenure with the North American organisation, during which the team finished second at the ESEA MDL Season 32 Global Challenge and qualified for the ESL Pro League Season 10 relegation before the tournament was cancelled.

The news of weber's departure comes shortly after the organisation parted ways with Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta. In a statement to Dust2.us, the Canadian tactician revealed that his teammates had "aligned against me" after he had tried to change three players.

weber is no longer part of the Riot Squad lineup

With the recent adjustments, Riot Squad are down to just four members, with Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney set to take over as in-game leader.

With weber's departure, Riot Squad stand as:

Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney
Mitch "⁠mitch⁠" Semago
Jonathan "⁠Jonji⁠" Carey
Austin "⁠crashies⁠" Roberts

Sad!

Good. Because if he isn't going to be working with FNS, he should just get out of dodge. This team is now irrelevant. They're going to be dogshit

None of this is going to matter because without a good IGL, they all suck dick. We've seen what the players from Riot Squad can do on LAN without FNS, they blow. They're nothing. The people below me talking shit about FNS didn't even know Riot Squad existed until this article was posted, so I expect them to say stupid shit like Riot Squad will get better without a pro league level ingame leader. They probably only watch NA MDL to bet.

I do agree with you on this however they let go of him due to his proposed changes and the org decided to let him go because of it. I think the org believed his changes would negatively impact the team. FNS shouldn't have been let go but we have to live with the org's decision. That being said -ptr +Shahzam or Wardell +SicK

Awful take, FNS is the biggest bot in NA Killed both C9 and old eU in two months. (But kicking the coach is really stupid)

2020-01-29 16:20

Brainpower? Holly shit have you ever seen the FNS strategys? Are even worst than DuDe

2020-01-30 17:37

Kicking the coach and IGL is a dumbass idea when your team is constantly improving. Even if the IGL (FNS) is complete garbage. I agree with you on that.
