The announcement brings to an end soulfly’s six-month stint on the roster, which began at the start of the year as he was brought in to replace Samet “jottAAA” Köklü.
Taking up the supportive and unglamorous positions for the team, soulfly averaged a 1.01 rating during his tenure as Aurora remained a competitive side in the deeper end of tournaments, helping the squad take second at ESL Pro League Season 23 and top-four at IEM Cologne Major.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the last 6 months,” soulfly said in a post on X. “I’m truly happy to have been part of this journey, and it’s an even greater honor to have been part of a chapter in Turkish CS history.”
Aurora are now left with only three players on the starting roster and no coach, amidst rumours they are set to pivot to an international constellation.
Aurora now feature:
