smooya is considering leaving Movistar Riders

smooya is seriously considering leaving Movistar Riders, as reported by Upcomer. The 21-year-old British player on his recent stream revealed some details of the team's lineup changes, leaving unambiguous hints about his future with the team. Recall that last week the organization decided to put steel on the bench, while shokz left the team altogether.

smooya stated that the decision to remove shokz came from the players themselves, while the decision regarding steel came from the organization. Thus, the team must now find two more players by August 10 to compete in the new ESEA season. If Movistar Riders doesn't sign players in the next two days, smooya said he will "decide if he wants to play this season" or even leave the team altogether.

The Briton explained that he joined Movistar Riders because the team gave him the power to make line-up decisions. However, according to him, “every time he influenced the roster, the team reached the TOP-20”. So when smooya identified shokz as a problem, the players agreed to let him go and look for a replacement. However, the Briton added that Movistar Riders did not inform the players about the decision to put steel, the longtime team captain, on the bench.

Recall that the 21-year-old British player joined Movistar Riders in early 2021. Together with the smooya team, he became the winner of several championships, including the ESL European Championship Winter 2020, OMEN WGR European Challenge and ESL Masters España Season 9.

The current roster of Movistar Riders is as follows:

• mopoz.
• ALEX.
• smooya.
• bladE (trainer).
