NLG acquire kyuubii on loan from Sprout

25-5-2021 19:59

The former TTC youngster has replaced Tom "⁠skyye⁠" Hagedorn on NLG's active roster.

NLG have announced the signing of Can "⁠kyuubii⁠" Ali, who has joined the German side on a loan from Sprout. After spending the last few months as a sixth player in Timo "⁠Spiidi⁠" Richter's team and occasionally stepping in for matches in the Meisterschaft, NLG's newest addition will become a full-fledged member of their active roster.

The 16-year-old has left Sprout's reserves for the time being, but the team around Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell have the option to call kyuubii back during a player break should they need a replacement for one of their active members, the announcement states.

kyuubii completes NLG's lineup

"kyuubii can compete on a daily basis in a top team in Germany and gain practical experience," a statement from NLG's CEO, Stefan Schillhabel, reads. "At the same time he's still an option for Sprout, if they need or want to do a lineup change in the
future."

kyuubii completes NLG's lineup after the organization parted ways with skyye due to "internal differences" on Sunday. "Since we had to do a very short notice lineup change, I’m really happy that we were able to find the perfect fit for our team in such a short time," Schillhabel has stated. "kyuubii is for sure one of the most talented players in Germany, very mature for his age, and matches our team philosophy to focus on young and upcoming players."

NLG now boasts the following squad:

Germany Christoph "⁠red⁠" Hinrichs
Germany Patrick "⁠pdy⁠" Merken
Germany Sebastian "⁠xenn⁠" Hoch
Germany Elias "⁠s1n⁠" Stein
Germany Can "⁠kyuubii⁠" Ali (on loan from Sprout)

Germany Joscha "⁠SchwaByyjee⁠" Ziegler (coach)

they always will. But tbh germans with turkish roots also call themselves turkish, even tho they got a german passport. At least a lot I knew from school back then. I mean its like 3rd or 4th generation here in germany, wtf? If my grandfather went to australia and I'd be there right now, would I be german? Ehhh nope?! I would be Australian.

For me It is, in org POV, because he give him a chance to develop with experienced pro players without pressure, because some of them hás School and parents pressure. Much more time to adapt, you Can ioan him to a minor teams so he can play time and play some minor tournament. When the times come, he Will be ready tô integrante de team

Ofc. it is, but you know, I would assume that NLG wants to enter some bigger level, they probably want to stabilize as a Tier 4 team, and there are some real decent opponents right there, will he perform like this against them, that's my question? I guess we will know with time.
