100 Thieves Parts Ways with Fortnite Player Parallax

The esports organization 100 Thieves has announced that it is parting ways with one of its original Fortnite professional players, Archie “Parallax” Shrader. This decision comes after the recent signing of four new players to the battle royale roster last month.

Departure Announcement on Twitter

Yesterday, 100 Thieves took to Twitter to announce Parallax’s departure from the team. However, no specific details were provided regarding the reasoning behind this decision.

Parallax was one of the first players to join 100 Thieves’ Fortnite lineup. He signed with the organization in June 2018, alongside Alex “Risker” Biamonte and “Kenith”. Unfortunately, the roster did not find success throughout the year, and the organization decided to part ways with Risker at the beginning of this year.

In February, 100 Thieves made a move to revamp their Fortnite roster by recruiting four new players. The team welcomed Maurilio “Blind” Gramajo, “Kyzui,” Davis “Ceice” McClellan, and Hayden “Elevate” Krueger.

These signings coincided with Epic Games’ announcement of this year’s Fortnite World Cup. Players from every region will compete in Open Qualifiers from April 13 to June 16 for a chance to attend the main event in July.
