Corey "nettik" Browne and Team Rooster have ended their partnership, ending his four-year stint with the team. The 20-year-old is already on the shortlist for a new team led by former Renegades and 100 Thieves leader Aaron "AZR" Ward, under the guidance of the Hong Kong-based Talon organization.

nettik joined Rooster in February 2020 at the age of 16. Despite his young age, he quickly established himself as one of the team's best players and remained an important part of the main roster, also representing Paradox, for nearly four and a half years through various iterations of the roster.
