Jacob "Cinkrof" Rokicki announces his departure from the team. Origen about to make an official statement

Jacob "Cinkrof" Rokicki has communicated his departure from Origen through his Twitter account. The news comes a few hours after Erik "Tabzz" van Helvert announced to leave the club.

Cinkrof's relationship with the Spanish organization has been extremely brief, lasting only two months because the player arrived in the final phase of the season as an emergency incorporation to replace the Korean player Kim "Wisdom" Tae-Wan.

The signing of the young jungler was subject of controversy due to a conflict of interests between Enrique "xPeke" Cedeño's club and ThunderX3 Baskonia. The dispute would go through the disagreement of Cinkrof to play with the LCS team claiming not be comfortable with the current situation of the club - all this with Origen having already paid Baskonia for the services of the Polish player. However, the issue was further complicated by the fact that the player himself had not signed any contract with Origen, according to Jacob Wolf on ESPN. In response to the situation, the Liga de Videojuegos Profesional (the Spanish league organizers) temporarily suspended the player until the litigation was clarified.

Being only 19 years old, this has been the first participation of Cinkrof in the maximum League of Legends European competition. The player was received in Origen as a possible hope to save them from the relegation, as stated by David "Carving" Primo, co-founder of the club, who from a personal point of view would add that "I feel bad for Cinkrof."

After knowing the departure of three of its players, Origen will publish an official statement at 6 pm Central European Time.
