Fadeaway Benefits from FC Barcelona’s Roster Change
Just over a week ago, FC Barcelona made a sudden change to their Barça eSports Rocket League roster. Now, Fadeaway is reaping the rewards of this change.
Due to the new roster, FC Barcelona had to forfeit their invitation to the first Rocket League Championship Series Winter Split Regional in Europe.
Fadeaway, on the other hand, received an automatic invitation to the event despite making their own roster change. They brought in Maurice “Yukeo” Weihs, who is still under contract with Dignitas. The team placed him on the inactive roster and allowed him to play with Fadeaway as they figure things out.
However, FC Barcelona’s roster change did not comply with the competition’s rules. As a result, they lost their RLCS X point totals and became inactive.
Additionally, the players who did not form a new stack after being released from FC Barcelona, Aldin “Ronaky” Hodzic, David “Deevo” Morrow, Amine “itachi” Benayachi, and Sebastian “Seeb” Falch, lost their points and standing from their time with the organization.
Fadeaway had a decent performance in the first EU Regional for RLCS Season X. However, their overall track record places them in 11th place when considering all the non-qualifier events they competed in throughout 2020.
With the addition of Yukeo to the team, Sandro “FreaKii” Holzwarth and Maik “Tigreee” Hoffmann now have more firepower at their disposal compared to Maarten “Oscillon” van Zee. However, they will need to incorporate Yukeo into their gameplan before the first EU Winter Regional begins on November 9.
