Grant “Grievance” Rousseau, the League of Legends team manager formerly of UK orgs Last Remedy and Bulldog Esports, has joined an LCS team in North America.
But we just can’t figure out who, as he’s been keeping the move super secret on Twitter while waiting for the team to announce him.

If three weeks ago you had told me i’d to be in the front seat of @DarshanU‘s car with us belting out Ed Sheeran, i’d have laughed….a lot.

We understand that Grant is waiting for CLG to make the announcement, so as an online news site, we obviously wouldn’t want to tread on the org’s toes. After all, it’s not news until they announce it, right?
Anyway, we’ve spent a lot of time digging on this one and can’t for the life of us figure out which team it is, as Grant has been very quiet about the move.

Very sad to announce I am leaving my position as @BulldogeSports LOL manager. Been superb few months, will miss it! New venture ahead for me

Jokes aside, Grant plied his trade in the ESL UK Premiership last split, working hard to put together a solid League of Legends roster with Last Remedy, including Rifty, Broxah, Toaster and more.
He clashed with Tundra who came on board as coach mid split, however, which led to some UK LoL drama.
After this, Grant joined Bulldog Esports and helped them to qualify for the UK and Ireland’s ESL Premiership spring split 2017.
While he waves goodbye to the UK scene, one thing’s for sure – he’s absolutely, definitely not joining CLG.
