nettik parts ways with Rooster

The 20-year-old New Zealander leaves his team of four years following a report of his move to a new squad led by AZR.

nettik played under the cock banner from 2020

Corey "⁠nettik⁠" Browne and Rooster have parted ways, the Oceanic side announced on Twitter, marking the end of his four-year tenure with the organization-less team.

Sources told HLTV at the end of June that the 20-year-old was high on the shortlist of a new team headed by former Renegades and 100 Thieves in-game leader Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward under Hong Kongese organization TALON.

nettik first joined Rooster in February 2020 when he was only 16 years old. Despite his age he quickly became one of the team's best performers and remained a part of the core, which also represented Paradox, for nearly four and a half years through various iterations.

After playing solely in the Oceanic scene through COVID, nettik finally got to play abroad after Rooster qualified for two consecutive ESL Pro League seasons in 2023 as well as the IEM Katowice 2024 Play-in.

He particularly impressed in Season 18 of EPL as he topped the charts with a 1.39 rating in a close loss to a Monte squad at the time ranked 14th in the world.

Rooster are down to four players:

Australia Tyson "⁠asap⁠" Paterson
New Zealand Michael "⁠chelleos⁠" Hawkins
Australia Tynan "⁠TjP⁠" Purtell
Australia Sharvesh "⁠dangeR⁠" Saravanan

Hongkonger is the widely used term, but Hong Kongese is correct too, the comment referred to a typeo, the article said Honk Kongese instead of Hong Kongese.

which one? the extremum project where the org decided to sign a team minus the player it was entirely centered around for years, or sprout, the team that signed him knowing he was a year behind on the meta and thought he would make magic happen within a month before promptly kicking him and moving onto the next 50 players, giving them all the same bullshit deadline.

Very excited for him, but sad that Rooster didn't get their last dance at EPL or the RMR, for which for the first time, they had a great chance to qualify. FEARTHECOCK and GOTALON (or something, idk what talon supporters say)
