Sprout release Anlelele, bench sL1m3

The German organization has made a pair of roster changes three months into the season.

Anlelele played just 48 maps for Sprout

Sprout have announced the release of Anton "⁠Anlelele⁠" Huynh from their active roster and the benching of Emil "⁠sL1m3⁠" Stolz, with the Danish youngster now "open for transfer opportunities." The German organization added that more news will follow on Saturday.

The changes come after a turbulent period for the European squad, which began with several academy promotions, the signing of Anlelele, and Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss's loan to HEROIC at the end of last year.

The team entered 2024 with Zyphon back on the roster, but the Danish rifler was shipped to TSM less than a month later, with Anlelele and sL1m3 now the second casualties of a poor run of results that saw the team plummet to 80th in the world rankings.

Anlelele signed for Sprout from Espionage in November of 2023 and averaged a 1.03 rating across his three-month stint in the team.

sL1m3 was a product of Sprout Academy and got a shot on the main team after completing a trial period following Ihor "⁠w0nderful⁠" Zhdanov's departure to Natus Vincere, during which he starred in a close-fought loss against G2.

The Danish player was handed a permanent spot on the main roster ahead of the 2024 season but couldn't keep up his level of performance and put up a 0.92 average rating as a primary AWPer, prompting the team to look elsewhere.

Sprout are currently:

Rasmus "⁠raalz⁠" Steensborg
Jan "⁠cej0t⁠" Dyl
Daniil "⁠Sdaim⁠" Tupov (stand-in)

Danny "⁠BERRY⁠" Krüger (coach)

Emil "⁠sL1m3⁠" Stolz (benched)
