qnx replaces feeling on dd+5friends


After a mutual agreement with the team,  feeling has left  dd+5friends. He will be replaced by  qnx, who last played pocket for  Danger Dogs.
According to scout  ixyfeeling and  Honey Badger had a clash of playstyles within the combo. Honey Badger has been maincalling for the team throughout their rise to Premiership, and feeling's opposing ideas on how to play the game created a difficult atmosphere between the two of them. After considering taking a week's break to reset himself, feeling and the team decided that it would be best to split permanently.
His replacement qnx has experience playing for Premiership teams in the past as pocket, most recentlyDanger Dogs (4th place Season 21). The Norwegian pocket informed us he can only play until the end of March, at which point he expects his studies will become too limiting.
ixy, scout for dd+5friends, spoke for the team regarding the switch:
Both Honey and feeling are very vocal and calls were colliding and creating confusion. The playstyle was different because feeling is a lot more methodical than Honey, while Honey goes more with the flow. His playstyle and Honey's playstyle were colliding and it was creating tension in-game. [Honey and qnx] had time to play together last season with Danger Dogs, so I'm sure they will build up a good cohesion. We've had some tough games, but we are positive especially considering the draw against Planet Express and the really close sunshine map against Full Tilt.
The roster for dd+5friends is now:
  •  Scout ixy
  •  Scout Sjoeberg
  •  Roamer dd5f
  •  Pocket qnx
  •  Demoman chappie
  •  Medic Honey Badger
