Barça eSports will retain three players who were temporarily on their roster for the upcoming season. The toplaner Eric "
selenex" Lozano Gutiérrez, the jungler Luis "
Koldo" Pérez, and the midlaner Sergio "
Macaquiño" Bouzende Rodrigues will be part of the Catalan team's roster next season, sources tell
Sheep Esports on Wednesday.
After a very good year overall, Barça eSports has made the decision to change a large part of its roster for the upcoming season. All the players on the roster were free to explore their options despite their good performances throughout the year.
The team started with a final in the winter split before winning the spring split a few months later. The team played in the
EMEA Masters in each split, however,
they lost in the final against Los Ratones. Despite a dip in form during the summer split, the team still reached the round of 16 in the EMEA Masters finals and was eliminated by
Galions.
Matti "
WhiteKnight" Sormunen is still LFT, while
Doğukan "113" Balcı has joined Misa Esports and Paweł "
Czekolad" Szczepanik is
going to join Joblife. The three newcomers played the Iberian Cup with Barça but were eliminated in the first match in the quarterfinals.
Koldo played part of the season with
UCAM Esports Club before
joining Veni Vidi Vici for the Superliga Finals. He will play his eighth season in the Superliga with a new club. The new players will try to match the year that Barça eSports had this season.
