jitter out of timbermen after one week

Dust2.us has confirmed with timbermen that their recent addition, Jordon "jitter" Ruggiero, has been out of the lineup since April 18th – exactly one week after the former Strife player joined the team.

jitter linked up with timbermen back on April 11th as a replacement for Damian "droid" Boulware, following the end of his eight month tenure with timbermen. The addition of jitter was seemingly a homerun for the team as they were targeting him for some time, and jitter is regarded as a strong performance in the NA scene. Additionally, jitter had just returned from the BLAST.tv Americas RMR in Mexico, an invaluable experience for the young player.

However, things seemingly did not work out at all between jitter and timbermen as Derek "dare" Brown told Dust2.us that following a one-sided loss to paiN on April 18th jitter said he was "done" and left the team. Dust2.us was unable to corroborate this story with jitter as the publication was unable to get in contact with the player.

In jitter's stead, timbermen have chosen to field Kyle "KEL" Murray as his replacement for the time being. KEL is no stranger to timbermen, having played with the team as a starter or a substitute on-and-off for the past three years. In regard to his addition, dare stated that while KEL is a starter for the moment, they're not sure how he factors into their long-term plans.

With KEL, timbermen are now

• Shane "shane" Dressler

• Derek "dare" Brown

• Wyatt "snav" Phillippi

• Tianyi "Fr3nk1e" He

• Kyle "KEL" Murray

timbermen currently sit at the bottom of their group in ESL Challenger League Season 45 with a 0-3 record. Their next match in the league is scheduled to be against BHOP on May 3rd.
