Splyce inquire about ex-CLG members
North American organization Splyce, who currently house a squad led by David "DAVEY" Stafford, have looked into the possibility of buying out several ex-CLG players from their contracts, including Kenneth "koosta" Suen, Ethan "nahtE" Arnold, and Ricardo "Rickeh" Mulholland, Dust2.us has learned.
Both koosta and nahtE's current contracts are set to expire at different times in 2018. Earlier in the month Jarek "DeKay" Lewis reported that CLG were asking for over $500,000 for their former players and coach Steve "Ryu" Rattacasa.
Dust2.us also knows that Stephen "reltuC" Cutler's contract with CLG will expire at the end of 2017 — it is not known if he would be involved in any potential deal between the two organizations.
Splyce has also reached out to at least one other organization in the North American division of ESL Pro League looking to purchase players.
Splyce's current lineup recently attended ROG Masters 2017, where they went out in 5-6th after a 1-2 defeat to the Chinese side of TyLoo. The last LAN event the former CLG team played in was the most iBUYPOWER Masters, where they exited in last place following group stage defeats to OpTic and Misfits.
The squad also more recently participated in the online CyberPowerPC Extreme Gaming Series Winter, where they played with Ronnie "ryx" Bylicki and Zach "XotiC" Elshani. There, they fell to Cloud9 in the grand final after victories over GX and Splyce.
The current lineups of the two teams are as follows:
Splyce
Taylor "Drone" Johnson
Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen- Daniel "roca" Gustaferri
- David "DAVEY" Stafford
- Mitch "m1tch" Semago
- Zachary "Eley" Stauffer (Coach)
Unemployed for Christmas
- Stephen "reltuC" Cutler
- Kenneth "koosta" Suen
- Ethan "nahtE" Arnold
- Steve "Ryu" Rattacasa (Coach)
