According to sources,
Spacestation Gaming are expected to sign Rexton "
solar" M
following the departure of João "
diaz" Henrique. The 17-year-old looks set to link up with Jack "
reveal" LeDuc and Zachary
"zach" Stone for the
Rocket League Club Championship starting in November. The organization has chosen to continue with their long history of developing some of North America’s finest youngsters.
Solar, who has rapidly become a top prospect, has never made an appearance in the RLCS regular season, but recently earned a 9th-12th in the RLCS 2026 North American LCQ, alongside Kevin "Kehvn" Nasseri and Andrew "Druee" Prill. Solar had initially decided to form a team with fellow prospects Justin "Juice" Holzer and Aj "monk" Holmes under the name 9Lives for the offseason but is now set to move up a tier.
Spacestation Gaming parted ways with diaz due to difficulties surrounding the VISA situation in the United States. The Brazilian joined the organization for RLCS 2026, playing a pivotal role in securing two second-place finishes at the Esports World Cup and 2026 World Championship to end the season.
In the announcement, diaz confirmed that he “wanted to stay” but the “VISA situation and other kinds of stuff” led to his free agency.
Solar represents a player with far less experience but has a huge amount of potential. The 17-year-old has quickly become one of the most exciting players on the ranked ladder in North America and was already expected to become an RLCS regular next season before the changes to the format. Alongside Rafael "Mech" Franco, Trevor "life" L and his previous 9Lives teammates, solar leads the way for a new generation of talents in the region. Spacestation Gaming have been pivotal in growing prospects over the eight years they have competed in Rocket League Esports. Their current roster and players from the past including Daniel "Daniel" Piecenski, Slater "Retals" Thomas, and Kenneth "frosty" Walz have benefitted from the organization’s support.
