The management of the organization decided not to renew contracts with the three players, suggesting that such decisions are aimed at strengthening the roster for the next season, which will start in February 2024.
The current lineup of team Dplus:
Team's achievements in the 2023 season
Dplus showcased a remarkable performance in the Korean Challengers League, clinching first place in both splits, which earned the team over $40,000 and a spot in VCT Challengers Ascension: Pacific 2023. However, the team couldn't replicate its league success in the latter tournament, which likely prompted the roster changes.
Who will be the fifth player?
With the current lineup consisting of four players and two coaches, the team needs just one player to compete in the league. It is likely that they will pick a player from Korea, or at least someone who speaks Korean, so the team doesn't have to change its communication language and that the change justifies the expectations for the upcoming season.
The next event for Dplus
The teams have finished the current season and have taken a break until next year. The first tournament for the team will be the start of the Challengers League in February 2024, where teams will compete for a spot in the premier league.
Future of the players who left the team
Only two players, namely Estrella and allow, have announced that they are not ending their careers and are actively looking for a new team in their respective roles. They are ready to move to any region. However, player Lakia has yet to comment on his future, only wishing his former teammates luck in finding a new club.
