Den nu tidligere TSM spiller Xpecial er blevet en del af Team Curse efter en turbolensudskiftning.
Det hele startede med at Xpecial blev bænket fra en af de mest succesrige organisationer i amerikansk League of Legends historie, Team SoloMid. De valgte herefter at afholde en tryout-session hvor de ville teste diverse supports. Xpecial var en af disse, og alle regnede med at han ville blive valgt igen.
Selv udtaler Xpecial efter at det er blevet annonceret til Team Curses hjemmeside:
“I’m extremely excited to be here, recently the NA scene has evolved to where every team is competitive. Every team is looking forward to the 2014 World Championships. I felt Curse was the right spot for me to achieve my goals.
I’m extremely grateful for the time that I’ve spent with Team SoloMid and the opportunities it has given me when I first joined the team, I was a top mid player in NA with a thirst for competition. Three years later, I have become a top support player that is respected worldwide and I have satisfied my thirst for just competition.”
Xpecial har både deltaget i All Stars turneringen sidste år samtidig med at han var den eneste supportspiller som har formådet at vinde en Most-Value-Players i Riots LCS.
Team Curses sportschef udtalte følgende til hjemmesiden:
“I am currently in negotiations to do my absolute best to place Bunnyfufuu on a current summer-split LCS team. Should those efforts fail, I have offered Bunny a chance to re-building our Curse Academy roster around him so he can continue to play as he finishes up his last few months in High School. I will do what I can to continue to support his growth in the eSports community with our organization.”
Holdkortet ser nu således ud:
- Diego “Quas” Ruiz
- Christian “IWillDominate” Rivera
- Joedat “Voyboy” Esfahani
- David “Cop Roberson
- Alex “Xpecial” Chu
