Roster Changes

This all makes Bryan one of the most experienced players in the league and so a good addition for the LiViD lineup.

June 24th: Acid Replaces Factor in The Last Dance
After just two days on the team, Tomasz "Acid" Adamczyk has been replaced by Alex "Butterzz" O'Campo in the US Challenger League team of The Last Dance.

May 22nd: Yung, Factor, Spades Join CL Hopeful Team
Former Evil Geniuses players Austin "Yung" Trexler, Julio "Spades" Cesar, and former Luminosity Gaming player Abdullah "Factor" Rihan have teamed up, alongside Brainbow and Kiloisbad, for the upcoming North American Challenger League qualifiers.
Yung, Spades, and Factor had all left their respective teams after Evil Geniuses and Luminosity Gaming had exited the Rainbow Six scene and the rosters had failed to find organisational representation to continue in the top-flight. Now, however, the three former Pro League players have come together to run through the upcoming Challenger League qualifiers and possibly make it back to the US Division for the 2021 season.
May 8th: Disrupt Gaming Picks Up Nyx, Shuttle, Retro, Read, and Drip
The Disrupt Gaming lineup that will play in the North American League -- the Pro League replacement tournament for North America -- has been confirmed to include Nyx, Shuttle, Retro, Read, and Drip.
Alexander "Retro" Lloyd, is an ex-Pro League champion from back in Season 3 on Continuum, as well as an ex-Minor champion from DreamHack Montreal 2018 while on Cloud9 (now known as Oxygen Esports). After a runners-up finish at the 2019 US Nationals and a group stage exit at the 2020 Six Invitational, Reciprocity opted to move on from both Retro and Zachary "Nyx" Thomas.
Retro at the Season 10 Finals on Team Reciprocity
Nyx began his career on SK Gaming (later known as DarkZero Esports) in Season 8, where he remained until the Season 10 Finals. In this time, he attended the Season 9 and 10 Finals, finishing as a runner-up in the latter, as well as in the group stages of the Raleigh Major and 2020 Six Invitational, and fourth at DreamHack Montreal 2018. Following this, he left to join Team Reciprocity for Season 11 before being dropped for b1ologic at the mid-season mark.
Aaron "Shuttle" Dugger, meanwhile, has a much longer competitive history as he began playing in the Pro League back in Year 2. Here, he achieved the region's third-best Pro League performance ever while on Elevate in Season 5, where he finished as runners-up to PENTA Sports, before later joining Counter Logic Gaming and beging relegated to the Challenger League in Season 7. Following this he replaced Trippen on Spacestation for a season, before winning both the 2018 US National title and the 2019 DreamHack Valencia title for Rogue before they were also relegated in Season 10.

On the other hand, Read "Read" Adams began his high level competitive career on Disrupt Gaming itself, alongside players such as Modigga, Yeti, and Spades before joining the Obey Alliance roster during Season 10 of the Challenger League. On this lineup, he finally won the league before being acquired by eUnited and playing in Pro League Season 11 as a stand-in for Alphama while his visa was processed.
Finally, Adam "Drip" Kolodkin, previously known as Yardy, had made a name for himself on '92 Dream Team (later known as Luminosity Gaming and now disbanded). Here, after an impressive 2019 Six Invitational qualifier, the team just missed out on the Allied Minor playoffs and won Season 9 of the Challenger League to be promoted to the Pro League. Before Drip could play a Pro League match, however, he was dropped from the lineup in favour of PiXeL. Since then, he has played on a number of teams, including Disrupt Gaming and Akatsuki, where he finished Season 10's Challenger League in fifth place.
Now, these five players will make up the new Disrupt Gaming lineup which will play in the US Division of the North American League which kicks off in a few months' time.
May 4th: Bugs Dropped by eUnited
The eUnited analyst of Declan "Bugs" McWilliams has been dropped from the team after seven months on the lineup.
After working as staff for MnM Gaming during their semi-final finish in the Summer 2019 Premiership season and on PACT during their Challenger League Season 9 run and runners-up finish in Season 2 of the Masters League, Bugs joined the NA team of Obey Alliance at the beginning of Season 10 to help them through the Challenger League season.
After helping them win in the Challenger League and defeat the Susquehanna Soniqs in their relegation match to qualify for the Pro League, the team has since finished Season 11 in a rather disappointing seventh place, leading Bugs to announce he has left the team.
May 4th: Team Reciprocity Roster Joins Oxygen Esports
The Reciprocity roster has joined Oxygen Esports -- a rebranding of Team Genji -- as the new organisation has bought out all of Reciprocity's rosters in R6, Rocket League. and Fortnite. You can learn more about the change here.

Read more about the upcoming changes here.
April 18th: Neptunez Leaves the Susquehanna Soniqs
One of the team's original members of Scott "Neptunez" Webber has left the Soniqs after 19 months on the lineup due to "his own tiredness of the game".
After moving over from the Xbox Pro League to the PC league, NeptuneZ quickly found himself on one of the top teams in North America as he finished Season 6 in second place on 1nFamy before exiting the São Paulo LAN in the quarter-finals to Black Dragons (later known as Ninjas in Pyjamas). From here, he went with the team into the mousesports organisation where he stayed on up until mid-Seaon 8 when he was dropped from the team in favour of England.
Following this, he joined the an up-and-coming NA Challenger League team of Elephant Gang alongside the players of Avian, Trippen, GhxsT, and Kanine for Season 8 of the Challenger League where they finished in second place behind just Excelerate Gaming (later known as TSM), before losing the relegation matchup against Noble esports.
Following this, the team's founder of supr rejoined the team as they entered the USN 2018 Finals thanks to the disbanding of Obey Alliance, where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Cloud9 (later known as Team Reciprocity). The following CL season, they once again finished in second behind the LG roster, but successfully defeated Rise Nation to qualify for the Pro League only to be relegated back down to the Challenger League after a disappointing Season 10.
Now, after all this time, as the team seemingly prepares to reenter the Pro League, NeptuneZ has stepped down from the team for personal reasons as explained in supr's Twitlonger.
To Nep After teaming together for nearly two years now, my friend Neptunez is leaving us to return home today. Together he and I have been through many ups and downs and many team mates from Kanine, Trippen and Ghost to Goddess, Slebben, Gomfi and Easily. We were the last two left of the original eGang team, the two Texas boys who brought the team to pro league and the two who went down with the ship when we failed to win our relegation match last season. To say it will be weird to come into the office and not see you sitting there eating candy for the first time in a year will be an understatement. I am not an easy person to get along with, yet you and I always have. You've seen the good and bad sides of me both in game and out of game and stood by me as a team mate and friend. I cannot lie and say I am not disappointed you and I weren't able to accomplish more together. I have always told you that you are one of the best players in the game when you focus your energy to it, but unfortunately it seems like you and Rainbow have always had a rocky relationship. I talked you out of retirement twice, but this time I could tell you needed a break and I hope a break is all you need before you come back and perform like the player I know you are, whether that is as my team mate or my opponent. I just want to reiterate that Nep was not dropped or benched, but decided to step aside from his own tiredness to the game. Even if you never play Rainbow competitively again, I know we will still remain friends and I'm sure we will cross paths. I am glad to be able to call you my friend and my teammate, and I wish you the best in whatever path you may choose. Supr
April 15th: Evil Geniuses, Luminosity Gaming Confirmed to Exit Pro League
