Eternal Fire removes MAJ3R from roster after failed RMR

The day after being eliminated from the EU RMR tournament in Malta, Eternal Fire announced a roster move.

- We part ways with Engin “MAJ3R” KÜPELİ and include Yasin “xfl0ud” KOÇ in the active roster. We wish you success in your career and life, captain.

19-year-old Yasin “xfl0ud” KOÇ is back on the team again after his second time on the bench in 2022 alone.

Eternal Fire reached their highest position on HLTV's World Ranking in September going 18th in the World after winning two matches at ESL Pro League and winning the qualifier for BLAST Showdown. At the EU RMR, Eternal Fire lost to Bad News Eagles, Astralis, and Fnatic. The departure of Engin “MAJ3R” KÜPEL comes after just three months with the experienced Turk on the roster. MAJ3R had returned to CS:GO from the Valorant scene, and in a TweetLonger post, he explains his view of the benching.

- Hello everyone, unfortunately things didn’t go as planned in EF. I’m out from the project early definitely and wish them good luck further in their adventure. 3 months has been pretty hard to be honest psychologically there in all aspects but I feel like I’m released strangely. For them I was not enough and the problem was me, from my eyes it’s completely different but speaking details will not make any things better, I have to respect their choose. Someone has to pay the checks and with my position I understand that’s I’m the one who pay it, that part of the job baby. I ll take time to see what options I have because these 3 months showed me that I still have something to do here. İndividually I feel great and as a leader. I love esport so much and most of all, I believe in my self very much. Im still motivate to play and be somewhere where i can have controle and build something healthy and good. Thanks you all for your support during this short journey, you can contact me on twitter by DM or by mail here for future projects or interest.
