Team EndPoint’s Overwatch roster has left the UK-based organisation.
The side finished third at i58 and was recently knocked out of the ESL UK Premiership.
The org has undergone a number of changes over the past few months.
Mathias “toca” Maegaard stepped back from the team, Johan “CWoosH” Klingestedt was picked up by Mousesports and Mark “Phantasy” Pinney stopped competing to focus on streaming (he also trialled at Mousesports).
EndPoint owner Adam “Adz” Jessop said in a post on the EndPoint website: “The time has come to official part ways with our previous Overwatch squad. To all the guys that have been involved in the lineup, both at i58 and the guys competing in the EPS, we would like to thank you for being part of the Endpoint brand. It was a great starting point for us as an organisation and the team were a pleasure to work with.
“They will be disappointed with the official results during their time here, especially after getting 1st seed at i58 and EPS, but they performed well and it’s been good to be a part of their growth. I wish them all the best for the future.
“We will be looking into getting back into Overwatch in the future, and will make any announcements in due time.
“On a personal note, I would like to thank Luke for his hard work and effort put into the team, it’s my opinion that his dedication to the cause is sometimes generally misunderstood in the community.”
Overwatch team leader Luke “iuKeEe” Dainton added: “I know I have repeated myself now, however I can’t thank EndPoint enough for their hard work and the relationship we had. I would like to thank HyperX for the sponsorship and on behalf of the roster I wish EndPoint the best of luck!”
