Bush Lose Cammy and Traixx Just a Week Before EWC LCQ

Telluride Bush Gaming's roster is in pieces with the Esports World Cup Last Chance Qualifier just a week away. The organization has announced the departure of both Cameron "Cammy" McKilligan and Nicolas "Traixx" Monaco from their starting lineup, gutting the core of the team that competed at Challengers Finals.

Both players had been swirling in rumors of a move to the professional scene for weeks, and Bush confirmed as much in the announcement itself, specifically noting that Traixx is departing for the Carolina Royal Ravens. The move lines up with earlier reporting that Carolina had zeroed in on Traixx as their top target, with those negotiations reportedly working through a contract dispute before getting resolved. Cammy's next destination has not been confirmed.

The timing could hardly be worse for Telluride Bush. With the LCQ just eight days out, the org now has to identify, sign, and integrate at least two new players into a roster that's about to compete for the region's final Esports World Cup spot, all with essentially no runway to prepare. Losing two starters at once is a tough enough blow during a normal offseason window; doing it a week before an elimination event raises real questions about whether Bush can field a competitive roster in time.
