The German player is leaving the active roster after a year with the team, during most of which he served as the in-game leader following the exit of Nemanja "nexa" Isaković last November.

After removing his leadership role at the start of the new season, the team expected a shift. Thomas "Thomas" Utting initially took over during the BLAST Groups, and later, they officially announced former MOUZ NXT player Christoffer "Chr1zN" Storgaard as the team’s new in-game leader.

OG stated that their new recruit, buzz, will be joining the team at a bootcamp next week as the squad will start their preparations for both the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown and the closed qualifier for the Perfect World Shanghai Major, scheduled for later this month.

“After a challenging season, we're making the decision to move k1to to the inactive roster. We are grateful for his commitment and for taking on the in-game leader role when it was needed most.”
