As the preseason goes on its final legs, more roster changes are occuring. The latest one is from Team ALTERNATE, who were dominant throughout most of the early stages of the EU LCS Summer Split. Carl "ForellenLord" Lückmann, has stepped away from his squad.
Here is part of his statement on his Facebook page:
Some may already knew, some heard, some did guess, I am going to leave my Team. Or better formulated: They replaced me.The question is why? There are some reasons, some I'd agree to, some I definitely do not agree. Overall a lot of misunderstanding, different dedication and too less goodwill to fix the issues. You guys may dont like my words, but I'm not going into details of these problems and issues. I dont wanna talk bad about my teammates I spend over a year together. Considering my ingame performance, what you guys actually see was, that I didnt play enough heroes. I didnt adapt fast enough to the assassins meta game( Zed, fizz, older meta jayce).
He cites some of the reasons for the team's lackluster run towards the end of the split:
Then, the fall back, we started slacking. Creaton broke his Hand, myself making me unable to play for one week(worst decision of my life). After the comeback the team atmosphere was different. Less love, less trust, less dedication to win as a team. In the end, we arrived at the playoffs in a not deserved way.
Finally, he tells his fans what he plans to do next:
My journey in E-sports has not ended. Apparently I didnt archive my goal to become part of a top3 team in Europe. Yet we will see what the next day will bring. I'm still on fire and motivated to play League of Legends. To play in a Team. And maybe dream big again.So what did last? Only one thing. Soloqueue. Oh yeah. Need to get the crone of number one soloqueue player back, or better called as the EloLord.
