The Miami Heretics have announced that they have released Juan "JurNii" Gonzalez from their roster.
The Spanish SMG has been on the bench since the start of the Major 2 Qualifiers. After the team lost both of their matches at Major 1 to finish last, the Heretics brought in rookie EriKBooM in his place. JurNii struggled individually on LAN, having a League-low 0.61 overall KD and 0.57 respawn KD.
Since reentering Challengers, JurNii has had his ups and downs. With the Singapore Syndicate roster, Juan finished Top 4 in three Cups and Top 8 in the Elite Season 1. With great online results, they were expected to place well in the Miami Open but ended in a disappointing Top 24.
Now a free agent, JurNii will look to rebound during the Elite Season 2 and Toronto Open. He has announced that he will be returning to Spain as well in a follow-up tweet. With the news that ReeaL has confirmed his visa, JurNii may be able to slot into a top European team instantly.
