Brazilians bench youngster and drop 6-man roster
Another team has ditched their 6-man roster after Valve's statement earlier this year.
TeamOne will no longer feature a 6-man roster as the Brazilian organization has decided to remove Cássio "cass1n" Santos from the active roster. The benching is according to the cass1n a clear result of Valve’s decision to penalize substitutions regarding 6-man roster.

The 19-year old talent will still take part in TeamOne’s European bootcamp and help the team to develop, even though not being eligible for officials.
“In view of this scenario which we are going through in CS where Valve has prohibited 6-man rosters, I will no longer participate in championships for now. But I will continue to train normally and evolve as much as possible with the team, taking advantage of the bootcamp here in Europe!” – cass1n says on Twitter
