NuTorious sign colin as Jolts U-Turns on joining team

NuTorious have announced that Connor "Jolts" Haines has decided to leave the team less than two days after joining the squad alongside Matthew "swayu" Norton, u-turning on his decision to step down from team mouse last week. In his place, NuTorious have informed Dust2.us that they have picked up former Chicken Coop player Colin "colin" Chan as his replacement, with colin set to take over as the team's IGL while reuniting with former Reign Above teammate swayu.

Jolts told Dust2.us that he decided to revisit his decision to leave team mouse and join NuTorious and is currently standing in with his former team while they decide if they want to re-add him on a permanent basis. Jolts had stepped down from team mouse due to discomfort with some of the roles he had been assigned on the team and the feeling he was letting his teammates down in those roles.

The U-Turn can be inferred to at least be partially motivated by mouse's recent win over LAG in the Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series #7, with the team taking a hard-fought 2-1 win over the top NA squad as LAG have struggled in recent weeks.

His replacement on NuTorious, colin, links up with Chicken Coop after being benched on Chicken Coop earlier this week. The benching surprised many in the community as colin recently led Chicken Coop to victory in the second ESL Challenger League Season 51 cup over SportsBetExpert.

NuTorious are now:

• Merigo "Msaia" Saia

• Nyas "sayN" Sederquist

• John "Toasty" Hill

• Matthew "swayu" Norton

• Colin "colin" Chan
