James had taken a break from Avangar and professional Counterstrike in the recent past to address personal issues. However, he has now returned and will be a starting position on the team. His replacement Ramz1k was extremely good for the team as he led them through a successful Starladder campaign.
Ramz1k remains on contract with his former team, Tengri and his future is uncertain right now.
