Heroic drop Rocket League roster
The leadership of the European eSports organization Heroic has upset its Rocket League fans. They reported that ViolentPanda, Yukeo and noahsaki are now free agents. The parties have terminated their contract by mutual agreement and will now look for new opportunities in the world of RL.
The line-up was completed on April 11 with the arrival of Noah 'noahsaki' Gillespi. The trio of esportsmen showed good promise, as it included both beginners and veterans of the scene. If Noah Gillespie is a young 16-year-old player with a total of $1,060 in prize money, then Maurice 'Yukeio' Weichs and Jos 'VilentPanda' van Meurs are 22- and 23-year-old experienced players who have broken the $140,000 and $300,000 mark respectively.
ViolentPanda has the following achievements to its credit:
- Rocket League Universal Open: Season 1 - win ($32,500)
- RLCS Season 4 - Finals - win ($55,000)
- RLCS Season 5 - Europe - Win ($20,500)
- RLCS Season 5 - Finals - win ($100,000)
- RLCS Season 6 - Europe - Win ($38,531)
- DreamHack Pro Circuit: Leipzig 2019 - Win ($50,000)
- RLCS Season 9 - Europe - Win ($96,397)
- ELEAGUE Cup 2017: Rocket League — 2nd place ($30,000)
- RLCS Season 6 - Finals - 2nd place ($120,000)
Yukeo limited himself to winning DreamHack Pro Circuit: Leipzig 2019 ($50,000) and RLCS Season 9 - Europe ($97,397). It is noteworthy that he was able to achieve this precisely together with ViolentPanda.
After leaving Heroic, Maurice 'Yukeo' Weichs and Noah 'noahsaki' Gillespi will continue to play together under the tag WE TRY WIN. The team also included coach John 'Virge' Willis. He, like Jos van Meurs, will not cooperate with cybersportsmen, but will try his hand elsewhere.
Heroic reassured the fans of the organization that they are not going to completely leave the Rocket League. They will look for other suitable players to collaborate with. Relevant announcements will appear later.
