David “Cop” Roberson will no longer be playing for Team Curse. Team Curse announced the news on thier website, where they state that the parting was mutual. Cop has been on the main Curse roster for almost three years, harking back to the early days of Season 2.

Today is a very difficult day for every Team Curse fan, David Roberson has been in the fabric of Team Curse from the very start, the poor guy even had to have me as support at one point! But in all seriousness, Cop is talented, funny, smart and a good friend. I am happy for all of what we have accomplished on and off the Rift, and I wish him the very best as he moves forward and I'll continue to do what I can to guide him down the career path he chooses.

Team Curse Owner and GM Steven 'Liquid112' Arhancet.

"I joined Team Curse over 2 years ago and I've gained so much from the entire experience,” said Cop. “I've met a ton of new friends, learned a lot about myself, and was able to travel the world. I wish I could have made it to World's, but maybe that will come later on in the future. Thanks to everyone that has supported me over these awesome couple of years!"

Over the course of Cop's career in Team Curse, he has played with seven different supports: Elementz, Zekent, SaintVicious, BunnyFufu, Xpecial, Edward. and Liquid112 and has performed adequately throughout all of them.

Cop has been given the position to play in Curse Academy and should Cop and Team Management mutually agree with the move, he will play in the expansion tournament under the new ownership of Curse Academy but he will not be returning to the main roster, regardless of results.

As Curse still has one spot open for a non Na resident, they will be able to scout for International and local talent to fill in the newly vacated position. "To our fans of Cop and the team, I ask you to please be patient while we search for our new AD carry.", said Steven "LiQuiD112" Arhancet.
