Sprout have parted ways with Jesse "zehN" Linjala, the German organisation has announced.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Sprout admitted that the results in Atlanta forced the organisation to make changes, adding that the Major was "a difficult time" for the team.
"Unfortunately, we were sent home earlier than we wanted," Sprout wrote. "Coming back to Germany, we needed to reflect upon our mistakes, we as a team needed to understand each other and the role every individual player occupied.
"After taking a short break we realised that there needed to be a change."
