Sprout part ways with slaxz-
The last German player has left the Sprout lineup.
The German organization Sprout used the summer of 2022 to change their focus from a German to an International lineup.
Today the last German remaining on the team has left the team to complete the transformation. 24-year-old Fritz "slaxz-" Dietrich departure was announced today on Twitter.
The AWPer joined Sprout in January 2021. Before that, he played for ALTERNATE aTTaX. The reason for his departure has not been revealed, but looking purely stats-wise, the difference in his performances against top 20 teams (0.91) vs overall (1.07) has been significant. At the Rio Major, the German AWPer ended up with a poor rating of 0.73.
Sprout is set to participate in IEM Katowice at the start of next year, so they are expected to reveal the new Sniper on the team soon.
