In an official statement released on the team’s social media accounts, they had this to say, “Today we announce that Lennart Warkus, “Smittyj” and Seungik Son “S0NSTAR” have been released from their contracts and are now free agents. Therefore, they will not be part of our 2017 Spring Split roster. We are grateful for their work and we wish them the best of luck in their professional careers.”

Giants ended the Summer Split in third place with a record of 8-3-7, but they were upset in the first round of the playoffs by the Unicorns of Love. These roster moves are a clear indication that the team is looking to improve on their placing from last split.
