Several days ago, German eSports site, Summoner’s Inn, released a report of former Lemondogs & Ninja in Pyjamas top laner Morten “Zorozero” Rosenquist is set to join paiN Gaming. Yesterday, the Brazilian squad announced the departure of their current top laner Whesley "Leko" Holler. 

Hired by paiN Gaming in July of the last year, Holler was an intstrumental part of earning achievements for lineup, the likes of the International Challenger of X5 Mega Arena and the qualify to IEM San Jose, with victories over Keyd Stars. After this era, Holler’s performance began to fall off. The team mad an unstable campaign in the Circuito Brasileiro de League of Legends Summer 2015, wining only two, best of two series. PaiN Gaming finished the tourney with the bronze medal after the team took down KaBuM! Black in a 3-2 victory.

In a short statement, Holler told myCNB that he received the team’s intent to part ways with him last Thursday at a meeting with CEO of paiN Gaming, the mid laner and captain of the squad, and the team’s head coach. He went on to say, "I was a little shocked when they announced my departure of the team. Had in mind, I would train every day to improve. My focus was to improve and I was thinking in how to do that."

The official announcement for Holler’s replacement has yet to be made, but following last week’s reports, it’s likely Rosenquist is the front runner.
