The announcement was made on the latest episode of OpTic's "Vision" documentary series, with William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba adding that Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz signed for another team in the aftermath of the ELEAGUE Major.

OpTic fans had high hopes for the event following impressive showings in ELEAGUE Season 2 and at the ECS Season 2 finals, but the team ended up being sent packing in the Swiss stage, with one victory from four matches.



stanislaw has decided to leave OpTic

RUSH admitted that the entire team was caught off-guard by stanislaw's decision, which leaves the squad without an ingame leader just two weeks before DreamHack Masters Las Vegas.

"We knew there were some talks going on, but we thought he would stay with us because we talked to him about it, [OpTic CEO] Hector talked to him, and we thought that thing was cool," Wierzba said.

"This comes out of the blue, and it hurts a lot. When he finally made this decision, he did not come to me so we could talk things through and see if we could fix them. I do not even know what issues he had.

"The worst part was that he was our ingame leader, and those are really hard to come by, especially in North America. I do not know what we are going to do. Maybe we will get someone within our team to fill that role."
