Rogue announced that they will be adding the Bulgarian duo of Kamen "bubble" Kostadinov and Viktor "v1c7oR" Dyankov to their lineup in place of Kevin "HS" Tarn and Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez, citing "different visions on how to succeed as a CS team" as the reason for the change.

The roster change was revealed on Rogue's Facebook page today, announcing the departure of the two non-Danish players in the lineup - Mathieu "⁠Maniac⁠" Quiquerez and Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn.

In the post, it is claimed that the whole team felt that a change was needed to continue to improve and qualify for larger tournaments, so Maniac and HS decided to step down from the team while they look for more compatible players.

This is what Maniac had to say about the change:

"We put this team together hoping that the lineup would be able to work together with time and effort but we were wrong. We realized after a while that the team was out-of-sync and we couldn't find a good common ground to work on. There isn't anyone to blame, we simply shared different visions on how to succeed as a CS team and as a working unit. HS and me have now parted ways with the rest of the team. I'd like to thank them for the time we had together and wish them good luck in their future." - Maniac's official statement

Rogue picked up the two former E-frag.net and Mortal Kombat players - Viktor "⁠v1c7oR⁠" Dyankov and Kamen "⁠bubble⁠" Kostadinov to solidify their roster for the upcoming Minor qualifiers, as well as ESWC.
