Aurora's decision
Lorenof joined Aurora relatively recently, and his experience has helped the team stabilize the game in difficult moments. However, despite the player's efforts, the team's results remained erratic. On September 15, the Aurora management officially announced that Kolesnikov was relegated to the bench. The team thanked him for his contributions and wished him luck in his future endeavors, noting that the player would be allowed to seek offers from other teams.
Today, we are moving Lorenof from the active roster to the bench, and he will be able to explore options with other teams.
Thank you for everything, brother. We wish you all the best in whatever comes nextSource: X
Community Reaction
After the announcement of Lorenof's transfer from Aurora players to the bench, there were doubts in the community about the decision. Many fans believe that replacing a key player who has been performing well could have a negative impact on the team's future performances. Along with this, speculation began to appear about who will take the vacated place in the lineup. Some users even assume that the replacement will be a famous cyber athlete, which caused a lively discussion in the network.
Why it matters.
For Aurora, the decision could mean the start of a roster rebuild in order to improve team performance. Lorenof, in turn, is a valuable asset for any team in need of an experienced mid. The player has experience in major tournaments and is probably already in the crosshairs of other organizations.
