Cloud9 Eclipse's jungler k0u leaving the team

This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site onGamers.com, which was dedicated to esports coverage.

Tri Tin 'k0u' Lam, the 16-year old jungler for Cloud9 Eclipse, announced on Twitter that he has left his team.

This happened when he replied to a fan who wished him good luck for the game he was about to play, if he had stayed with the team. However, he got replaced by Ihaz for their game that night in the Challenger Series #2, which ended in a 0-2 loss to Departed. Ihaz is currently Rank 14 SoloQ Challenger on EUWest, under the summoner name Ihazballz, but is otherwise fairly unknown. No official statement was made informing us whether he just stepped in as a sub for those two games or if he replaces k0u permanently now.

Upon getting asked if it was due to his age, Tri Tin 'k0u' Lam confirmed this. 5 hours later he made an official announcement stating that he "can't play with them if they qualify for relegation" as he is too young to participate in it. Riot's contracts state that you have to be 17 or older to participate in the LCS. He also mentions that the roster change already happened around two weeks ago. As of now there is no news about Tri Tin 'k0u' Lam's plans for the future.
