With Craciunescu departing, absolute Legends lose their captain who also took part in forming the team since the reopening of aL's Dota 2 division over two months ago. In their short time of existence, the squad underwent multiple changes in their lineup, seeing Sergey 'God' Bragin being replaced by Adrian 'S0ny' Bere, Strandby being signed as new fourth position player and ultimately Ivan 'Vigoss' Shinkarev being replaced by Faraj.
Today, it is Craciunescu's and Faraj's turn to leave, after a series of mediocre showings at DreamHack Winter as well as the currently held online tournaments The Defense and Star Series. Faraj, who was brought into aL only one month ago, hinted at the unfolding development yesterday already tweeting: "Sometimes things just dont work out."
Absolute Legends team manager Islam 'Samo' El-Kenawy refers to issues with the role distribution and disagreements between the players as main reasons for the change, however also adds that the decision was mutual and players parted on good terms:
“
It is no secret that our team has been underperforming recently, much of that can be attributed to the issues with role switching that we've had starting from the DreamHack bootcamp until now. ... Both players leaving our squad today were not fond of playing the full support role, so even when CWM was playing it he wasn't very comfortable, and a team can never have that ...”According to abolutelegends.net Strandby, Bere and Florin are in the middle of searching players for offlane and primary support position.
