Paramin "Onigiri" Suwanwattana today announced his departure from APAC South team Elevate in a post on Twitter. As a result, he will be a restricted free agent heading in to the 2023 season.

In the accompanying TwitLonger, he explained that his "just seeking a new experience" and is looking to join a team in NA or EU. He also shared that he is willing to fly to NA or EU cities just for a trial and that he can also speak basic French and German, on top of fluent English.

Onigiri's announcement comes after a disappointing group stage exit for Elevate at the Six Invitational 2023, where his team finished at the bottom of their group.

This followed a rollercoaster 2022 season, where his team debuted internationally with a top 12 finish at the Six Invitational, qualified for but failed to play at the Charlotte Major, almost made it to the Berlin Major semi-finals, and then could not qualify for the Jönköping Major.
