Gambit Esports ditches LoL roster except for DiamondProx after Split struggles

MCV Staff 11th May 2017 Business News

After a poor performance from Gambit Esports in the LCL Spring Split, Gambit has announced that it’ll be getting rid of all of its League of Legend players except jungler Danil ‘DiamondProx’ Reshetnikov.

Viacheslav ‘Archie2b’ Egorov’s contract was not renewed, while Michal ‘zoiren’ Zika, Valentin ‘NikSar’ Zimakov and Ivan ‘FiRees’ Silantiev have been moved to substitute positions, with Gambit making it clear that other teams can field offers for the players.

Gambit placed 6th in the LCL, missing out on the playoff tournament and scrabbling to avoid relegation.

After dispensing with their current roster — Reshetnikov excluded — Gambit are now hoping to recruit players who have achieved local success already, and have some competitive experience performing on a global scale.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
