Love 'phzy' Smidebrant has been recalled by Wildcard. This was not according to our plan but due to circumstances outside of 9INE’s control. Our hope was to continue playing with phzy, especially given the strong results we've had recently and the stability he's brought to the team.
Wildcard recalled phzy in early August and since then we've been in dialogue trying to find a solution that works for all parties. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find such a solution.
phzy will be travelling back to the US on the 4th of September. Until we've found our long term replacement, we'll use stand-ins for the upcoming LAN events.
A huge thank you to phzy for his short but sweet time with us, we wish him the best of luck going forward!
