US esports organisation Soniqs have signed UK Rainbow Six Siege pro player Ben ‘CTZN’ McMillan ahead of the Six Invitational.
CTZN joins the team from European organisation G2 Esports, who he has played with for the past two years.
He replaces US player Kanzen on the Soniqs roster, who was recently benched.
CTZN said on Twitter: “Over two years in this team, and I leave this team with a heavy heart. Been through all the ups and downs, the great and bad times, and gave it my all.
“Thank you to G2, the players and staff for believing in me. But now it is time to move on to a new chapter in my career.”
