One of Fortnite: Battle Royale’s most popular teams has made a roster change—and it seems there will be another alteration coming in the future.

TSM announced the benching of Juan “CaMiLLs” Camilla earlier today via Twitter. The organization has decided to use streamer AimbotCalvin as its temporary fourth player in the lineup while searching for a “more permanent” replacement.

Since the beginning of the Friday Fortnite tournaments a few months ago, some fans have continuously hurled criticism at CaMiLLs and TSM, saying he was unfit to be on the organization’s competitive roster. Despite the roster having a lot of talent and cohesion, fans didn’t believe CaMiLLs was talented enough to be in the starting lineup.

TSM jumped into the Fortnite esports scene very early, and built a roster before virtually any other major team. Doing that gave them many choices of players to build the roster around, but it also had the drawback of players not evolving as the meta changed and others improved.

While that may not be the case with CaMiLLs, it’s likely something major has changed in the team since it was assembled nearly six months ago. AimbotCalvin, CaMiLLs’ replacement, also has stepped up his game in the last few months, which may have prompted the move.

Calvin is a streamer for TSM, but most know him or at least originally found out about him through his Overwatch streams. He has proven to be a highly-skilled Fortnite player, however. His performances alongside Team Envy’s KingRichard in the weekly Friday Fortnite tournaments have been impressive, and the duo even won last week’s tournament.

Calvin is probably not a long-term option due to his streaming career, but in the meantime while TSM searches for a suitable replacement, he will slot in as its fourth.
