    After a fourth-place finish in the Spring Split, the team announced on Twitter that more roster changes are coming.

    Freeze joined the team after narrowly missing a second consecutive title, having previously been an assistant coach for 100 Thieves and a professional ADC in European League circuits.

    "Was really excited to fulfill my 2 year contract," Freeze said in response to the announcement.

    "Sometimes journey stops earlier than it is meant to be. Specific circumstances can always happen in orgs."

    H4xDefender, a former jungler, moved into assistant coaching in 2020 with Team Liquid and worked with EG before the team's disappointing Spring Split.

    Further details on roster changes and new coaches are expected in the coming months.
