Publiclir.se cut fl1p, lose Medico

In a move to revitalise their roster after shaky performances in Season 24 and the first DreamHack Summer Qualifier,  Publiclir.se have cut  fl1p from the starting roster and are also looking to replace  Medicowho left to join newly reformed  top5 rocket.

Publiclir finished ETF2L Season 23 in third place, after narrowly making playoffs in fourth place by a single point. However, after their peak in the playoffs, they had a sloppy start to the off-season and failed to overcome a high-ping mix of  froyotech players in the first DHS Qualifier, getting knocked out in the first round. Frustration from that result and a desire to improve led to them benching fl1p, whose motivation appeared to be at an all-time low.

Publiclir were last seen playing in the DreamHack Summer Qualifiers with free agents  p-rez on scout and  alle on roaming soldier. The team appeared to have altered their style slightly as well, with pocket  AMSrunning shotgun and playing a more stable role. It is not clear yet who will be replacing fl1p and Medicopermanently for Publiclir.

Soldier Medico had indicated since the end of the season that he was planning to rejoin his French compatriots in top5 rocket, and a good performance for the squad at Gamers Assembly sealed the deal. The French side will be aiming to play in Season 24 Premiership with Medico on pocket, and are reportedly considering fl1p as well.

 Smirre gave his team’s comment on the roster moves:

Medico left because he wanted to play with top5 rocket, and fl1p was moved because he was always late and did not seem motivated during games. Moving forward, we are aiming to be top 3 and our main goals are LANs.

 Publiclir.se’s roster is now:

•  Scout:  atomic
•  Pocket:  AMS
•  Demoman:  Smirre
•  Medic:  ondkaja
