Team EnVyUs recently suffered a blow during their APEX playoff run: Talespin has left the roster mid tournament. Who is going to replace him on the team?
Talespin occupied one of the DPS roles on Team EnVyUs since the very side, alongside Taimou in recent months. But he decided to leave a few days ago. The team will likely not be subbing him with a DPS; instead all clues point to the replacement being a Zarya main from team Thailand, Mickie. Team EnVyUs and Team Thailand met at Blizzcon and got on great. As soon as Talespin left, hastr0 (owner and managing director of Nv) followed Mickie, and only Mickie.
This change would make sense as Taimou said on stream that they are going to have to switch their roles around a bit to accommodate the sub, since Mickie is a tank player.
There are 2 other pieces of evidence pointing to it being Mickie, both on Twitter. Harryhook posted a picture on Twitter showing off their new sub as Krusher99 from the Overwatch League commercial.
From Mickies side the clue is a tweet he made:
Translated it means I am ready to fly :D :D :D :D :D :D :D. This most likely is him flying from Thailand to Korea to compete in the rest of APEX.
Barring a godlike performance, Mickie is not likely to be the permanent replacement for Talespin. So who is EnVyUs going to replace Talespin with? Here we only have conjecture, but again there are a couple things that point to a specific player: IDDQD. For starters IDDQD is a free agent, one of the more experienced ones, who is an awesome DPS player (though not focused on projectile as much) and was also recently followed by Hastr0 on Twitter. That is the hint we have on who the permanent replacement is going to be, but there are a lot of other options out there for Team EnVyUs.
