top5 Rocket finished second place in High in Season 21 with a roster that had been together since Division 4 in Season 18. They were unable to fulfil their goal of making it to Premiership however as they lost the promotion battle against LEGO, and so stuck together in High for Season 22 where they repeated the feat and managed 2nd place behind 4SKINGS. They finally seemed set on their path to Premiership.
Unfortunately, the loss of their scout Opti due to work commitments was a fatal blow for the team during the offseason. The team could not find a suitable replacement, and so reluctantly decided to part ways.
Ombrack on the team's decision:
Opti left and we couldn't find a proper replacement - I thought about fl1p a bit too late. He said yes to AMS along with Medico. It's really unfortunate that we can't play together anymore. We had great stability, great synergy, and everybody would have preferred keeping on playing together rather than going in other teams. Going prem as a team was the dream, so it's a shame we couldn't make it happen. At least it was close enough. We'll go to GA together anyway.
Players from top5 are being picked up by other teams already. Medico joined Publiclir.se as roamer,Ombrack has been seen trialling for Planet Express, and Blitzo has allegedly been declined by Reason Gaming after trialling. He continues to look for a team, whilst Kaiizo and Néo are planning to offclass for a French team in a lower division.
The roster for top5 Rocket was:
- Scout: Opti
- Scout: Blitzo
- Roamer: Néo
- Pocket: Medico
- Demoman: Kaiizo
- Medic: Ombrack
