В ходе интервью на турнире StarSeries Fall YEKINDAR сообщил о прекращении выполнения обязанностей ингейм-лидера в команде. Игрок передал функции руководства на картах Cache, Anubis и Ancient обратно FalleN, пояснив, что текущая нагрузка оказалась для него чрезмерной.
По словам YEKINDAR, он намерен сосредоточиться на своей роли в качестве игрока, а не лидера, подчеркнув, что в сложных игровых ситуациях основная ответственность за тактические решения по-прежнему лежит на FalleN.
