In the post on Reddit, Determined Gaming states Eder will be releasing a statement soon.
"There is no hard feelings between the team and Arthelon as he is well loved and we wish him all the luck in the world with his future in League and anything else he chooses to pursue," read the post.
"We are all so grateful to Arthelon for the time, effort and determination he put into the team."
Determined Gaming plans to make a run in the Coke Zero Challenger tournament.
Additionally, Determined Gaming has released manager Jerrus Lumijarvi after internal discussions came to their conclusion regarding a legal case involving Lumijarvi.
"We have since studied the police reports as well as files from the trial that were relevant to the situation and confirmed that what Jerrus had told us was correct. However after consulting with both Jerrus and Riot about how to move forward, we have come to the conclusion that we will part ways with Jerrus for future endevours.[sic]"
