Oaly and ThO plan to part ways with Mikeboy

With their contracts set to expire at Solary in a month, Ole "oaly" van Doorn and Thomas "ThO" Binkhorst have decided to move forward into the offseason without the services of Mike "Mikeboy" Verkuijlen.

Mikeboy, Oaly and ThO joined Solary back in May

Solary acquired the Dutch roster in May 2022, one month after the team had formed under the name suhhh for the Spring Split. The team managed to qualify for the Spring Regional #1 before the acquisition and then went on to achieve an impressive third place showing under Solary. The roster followed this up with two 9th-12th exits at the remaining regionals and narrowly missed out on qualification to Gamers8 2022. While the Spring Split ended in relative disappointment for Solary, they were the surprise package of Europe and managed to come 6th in the RLCS spring rankings, one place away from qualification to the major.

Tryouts have begun with the team exploring both international and Dutch options. Dylan "eekso" Pickering has already put his name in the hat following the expected changes at Luminosity Gaming. The duo are also expected to part ways with Solary once their contracts expire next month, however, negotiations could take place over an extension. On the otherhand, Mikeboy will join a long list of free agents on the market heading into the offseason.
