We took a look last week at the recent rumours – it’s time to revisit and update the information and have a breakdown of what happened again in the past week.

Confirmed Rumours

Rix Ronday officially dropped

EU fan-favorite team Triple Trouble announced the official departure of starting member Rix “Rix_Ronday“ Ronday.

Today we say farewell to @Rix_Ronday from the Triple Trouble roster.



It's been a pleasure having him with us, and we wish things panned out better this past season.

It's a decision we didn't take lightly, and we wish him all the best moving forward.

This announcement came relatively quickly following rumours that the trio was trying out players in place of all three starters. Despite small signs that the roster might stick together, in the end, Euan “Tadpole“ Ingram and Dan “Bluey“ Bluett have decided to start anew with an as yet unknown third. More on Triple Trouble later on.

SNG benches Godsmilla

Another starting member that got the worse end of the stick this week was Leon “Godsmilla“ Mares, former mastermind behind the Team Singularity organization.

Thomas “ThO.” Binkhorst and Joseph “noly“ Kidd have decided to team up with former TSM starting member Joonas “Mognus“ Salo for the upcoming Rocket League Spring Series which starts on May 5th for the European region.

However the questionably happy announcement from the Team Singularity Social Media staff left a bit of a bad taste in the mouths of fans that saw Godsmilla as a solid third man in the roster.

Discredited Rumours

Cloud9 Firstkiller bid on hold

With the announcement that Rogue would play the North American Rocket League Spring Series with former Charlotte Phoenix starting member Leonardo “Turinturo“ Wilson as a stand-in and the fact that the buyout clause for Jason “firstkiller“ Corral was allegedly in the 6 figure numbers, Cloud9 decided to not further pursue the acquisition of firstkiller.

After a solid lower bracket run at the NA RLSS, Rogue ended the tournament with a 3rd place finish, grabbing their share of $16’000 for themselves – it is rumoured that Rogue will announce their new starting roster for the upcoming season consisting of Cameron “Kronovi“ Bills, firstkiller and Turinturo in the coming weeks.

New Rumours

Triple Trouble Tryouts 2: Electric Boogaloo

Triple Trouble is still actively seeking a replacement for Rix_Ronday by trying out various players that have been reported to RLAfterShock by multiple sources.

The latest leak that has a solid base though was their expected announcement of playing the EU RLSS with former TSM player Otto “Metsanauris“ Kaipiainen.

Metsanauris has had a rough season during RLCS Season 9 with his team, finishing in 9th place and also struggling to find his playstyle. It stands to be seen if he can fit in with Tadpole and Bluey who are known to be a bit more on the aggressive side of the field.

With further rumours spread by former RLCS World Champion, Kyle “Scrub Killa“ Robertson, indicating that Bluey might look to ditch Tadpole the roster surely is not in a stable position. The RLSS results will show what the future holds for the members.

Ex-Reciprocity to sign with Team Genji

In an unexpected move, the roster of Ex-Reciprocity consisting of Victor “Ferra“ Francal, Thibault “Chausette45“ Grzesiak, and Emil “fruity” Moselund is expected to sign with Collectible Card Game (CCG) based organization Team Genji.

This is a rumoured move that very few to none people expected since Team Genji is rather not involved big outside of CCGs, only fielding teams and players within Hearthstone, Magic: The Gathering and Fortnite.

The rumour first was found out in the Rainbow 6: Siege Subreddit when a leak of a supposed roster move by the R6 REC squad to Team Genji was discovered. After Reciprocity CEO Chad Larsson announced on Twitter that both squads would be taken care of by the same new organization people quickly put one and one together to potentially confirm the roster.

Team Genji also started rebranding their Twitter handle from @TeamGenji (which is now taken by a troll account) to @OXG_Esports, signing that they’re restructuring the organization for further development as quite some people criticized them for their public appearance, especially their logo resembling the G2 one.

Although nothing so far has further leaked from any member of Ex-REC (a feat that few have managed to do in the Rocket League scene) all signs point to the acquisition by Team Genji in the upcoming weeks.

Chaos E.C. looking to replace CorruptedG

After yet another disappointing season, Chaos Esports Club are looking to replace their starting player Gabriel “CorruptedG“ Vallozzi.

After multiple seasons of retaining an Rival Series spot but not reaching their expectations of RLCS promotion, Chaos E.C. are looking to make a change by replacing CorruptedG.



Some of their targets include Wonder (most recently made inactive by Rogue) and Sosa. pic.twitter.com/JGDhdo46I8 — ShiftRLEsports (@ShiftRLE) April 28, 2020

As outlined in the Tweet above, Alexandre “Taroco“ Reis Pedrogam and Jack “mectos“ Privitera are already in the process of trying out different players, including but not limited to Gianluca “sosa“ Petrozza (formerly Avidity Esports) and Nicholas “Wonder“ Blackerby (formerly Rogue).

The decline of CorruptedG has been in the views of observers for a few months now, as the former RLCS player for Evil Geniuses has failed to up-live to expectations in the past seasons, barely finishing 4th with Chaos E.C. this season in the Rocket League Rival Series.
