Today we say goodbye to fortniteMan—our journey has come to an end, and the player’s contract with Ilbirs Esports has expired.
Together, we’ve been through countless matches, training sessions, and tough moments. We thank him for his hard work and the time he spent as part of our team.
We wish Misha the best of luck in his future career, to take first place among the trios, and to receive an invite to a Tier 1 team.
Today we’re also saying goodbye to the heart of our team and our fourth-position player—ponlo.
Remus has been through many roster reshuffles. To us, he was the one who supported the players, motivated them, and helped unite us around a common goal.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for Ilbirs Esports. We wish this legend the best of luck and hope to see him again in the lobby.
