Triumph’s in-game leader departs

Alan "⁠Shakezullah⁠" Hardeman and Triumph part ways, putting an end to a 15-month-long tenure. The team’s in-game leader has marked an end to his time with the North American organization leaving the team’s future uncertain. Shakezullah had a 0.98 rating with Triumph as he struggled to rebuild the team on many occasions as the players were courted by other teams or switched to VALORANT.

He influenced both Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson and Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince in 2020 and later they joined FURIA and Liquid. Under his guidance, the team won ESEA MDL Season 33 to qualify for ESL Pro League as well. But the organization failed to keep a hold on their players and lost Rahul "⁠curry⁠" Nemani and Erik "⁠penny⁠" Penny along the way and the team hence could not relive their former glory days and was regarded with the likes of Extra Salt, Bad News Bears, and paiN. Triumph now has Austin "⁠Cooper⁠" Abadir and David "⁠cynic⁠" Polster in their roster currently.
