Sprout is weighing their options as they think about removing Denis "denis" Howell from the lineup. They have had an underwhelming season so far, just months after the German organization shifted to the all-German team bringing in the pair of Marko "kressy" Đorđević and Fritz "slaxz-" Dietrich who had taken over the responsibilities from former Sprout players Michał "snatchie" Rudzki and Paweł "dycha" Dycha.
After a brief spell with BIG, denis returned to Sprout’s lineup in 2019 and then for a short spell of time they bagged titles in European Development Championship 2 and ESL Meisterschaft Spring. It was all downhill after that with mostly below 10th place finishes. The 26-year-old has played for many organizations in the past like EYES ON U, PENTA and mousesports. If Sprout does go ahead with a roster change, they would lose 120 points in the European Regional Major Ranking.
