Eternal Fire put paz on the bench upon his request [Updated]

Update (18:47 MSK): Eternal Fire also announced the departure of coach Canpolat "hardstyle" Yıldıran.


Eternal Fire have removed Ahmet "paz" Karahoca from the starting five, as reported on their official Twitter account. This decision was made at the request of the player himself.

Eternal Fire noted in a press release that paz had sent a request to be benched due to personal reasons and problems with his own performance. He will remain inactive for an unspecified period of time.

Karahoca has been with Eternal Fire since July this year. During this time, the team was unable to achieve success at big tournaments, with its best result being a 3-4th place finish at ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022.

paz's departure was the second lineup change for Eternal Fire in the past month. Earlier, Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli also left the Turkish team, which happened shortly after the failure at the European RMR event.

There is no information at the moment about who will complete the Eternal Fire roster. The Turks' next match will take place on November 9 in ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe's Round of 16.

 Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş
