Team SoloUber, off the heels of their medic ninjanick leaving for froyotech, has now decided on their own roster changes.

The team has been relatively quiet with roster changes under their current name, with their only recent one being before the season started when they brought in demoman star duwatna to play from his brief retirement following froyotech's disbanding due to their Season 20 playoffs loss. Of course, the team itself is a relatively new team, having been descended from Street Hoops eSports after several of their players had left following Season 19.

It appears that the team will be returning to its roots, once again going under the name Street Hoops eSports. To replace their outgoing medic ninjanick, cozen, known for making his Invite debut with the original Street Hoops eSports before defecting to rival Ascent, will be making his return. In addition, grape, who was brought onto the team as part of the transition to Team SoloUber, will be departing. Taking his place will be ash, who had stepped down from froyotech during its Season 20 playoffs loss and later joined Team SoloUber as a backup.

Team captain showstopper discussed the changes with us:

Nick leaving Team SoloUber was a mutual agreement—he saw a potential opportunity and he jumped on it. We support Nick's decision to join froyotech and wish him the best in the future and look forward to playing against him. grape has also decided to step down as he no longer enjoyed playing the game. We decided to pick up both cozen and Carter because of their 20b roots, and they were the best available options.

We expect to turn this season around after our extremely disappointing start. Everyone on the team was a bit frustrated with our performance; especially after our 2nd place finish last season, we expected more out of ourselves. We look forward to finishing the season with this current roster, and have decided that we want to rebrand to Street Hoops eSports.
