The decision puts an end to Maze's brief in-game leadership trial, and the Dane, who was first announced on Tuesday as the team's new captain, has now been removed off the roster after just two days in charge. With Maze as their captain, Sprout made one single appearance, taking part in the IEM Brazil Europe closed qualifier in an effort to qualify for the $250,000 competition.
The lineup with a Danish predominance had a difficult time during the competition, which was hampered by delays and technological difficulties. The team lost against 9INE, a team not presently ranked in the top 30, and BIG before going out in joint-last place. Since their roster change on Tuesday, Sprout has been looking for an in-game captain. After serving as captain for six months, Ismail "refrezh" Ali resigned.
