According to Sheep Esports, the French esports organization Gentle Mates has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Robbie "RobbieBk" Børkamp to join their team for the upcoming VCT season.
A Successful Season for RobbieBk

A Tough Year for Gentle Mates
Despite achieving notable success on the Tier 2 scene in 2023, Gentle Mates have struggled significantly this season. The team failed to perform well in any of the three tournaments they entered, placing poorly and earning no prize money. If their performance doesn't improve, the next season could be their last in the VCT franchise, which makes immediate and drastic changes necessary.
