Don't worry i41 attendees, not just yet. It seems Team Rockit's Eriks 'Animal' Luters is moving from his home in Latvia to take a job in the UK, forcing him to depart from Team Rockit.
Currently competing in ETF2L and WirePlay division 1, and having just completed their ESL campaign topping division 1, this is a sad loss for what could have been
a very promising team in the future. When you're a young latvian going out into the big bad world, however, you can't guarantee time to shoot cartoon men on the
internet and thus Animal has honourably stepped down early to spare his team the grief of sudden unavailability.
The organisation, Rockit, have a long history of picking up promising teams who go on to qualify for the top flight of TF2 play, only to fold before another
season comes around. I hope for their sake, the teams sake, and TF2s sake that this isn't the first in a string of events leading to another repeat.
Team Rockit is:
Vytis 'm1neral' Lasaitis
Eckhart 'ShitFly' Vandermaesen
David 'dvb' Bujgl
Jan 'Koeitje' Janssen
Sam 'randa' Smith
