Inner Circle part ways with oskar

Inner Circle have endured a difficult season and only played two Ranked events in the form of open qualifiers for PGL Astana and Bucharest after ESEA Advanced was stripped of VRS status.

Head coach Piotr "⁠nawrot⁠" Nawrocki joined on June 5 to replace Sergey "⁠lmbt⁠" Bezhanov but only stood behind the team for three matches before the season closed and the organization rung the changes.

"Not many positives to take from [the season], Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk posted on June 10. "Our main goal was to get into VRS, which we failed. Played all open qualifiers we could, made some deep runs, but never got into main events."

"The decision is 100% understood and comes as a reaction to a system that none of us can control," Q-Q said in his own statement.

Fessor, an Astralis Talent graduate, averaged a 1.08 rating for the team while Q-Q, a more supportive element who passed through MOUZ NXT and Apeks Rebels, sat below on a 1.00.

Inner Circle are down to:
