Management of the popular League of Legends team  Gambit Gaming decided not to renew the contract with  Erih 'Voidle' Sommermann.

Remind you that Voidle replaced  Darker in the team. He helped to the team to take 3'rd place at LCS European Summer, but their result at World Finals wasn't that impressive. They became top 5-8 there.

Official statement from  Gambit Gaming:
Our target to win each event where we are taking part. The competition on global and regional level increased not day by day, but hour by hour. For competing on such level, we need not only talented, but expirienced players as well. Without any doubt, Erih is talented player, but luck of expirience negatively affected on our results at World Finals and Gamescom. Unfortunately, our team don't have room for mistake and we decided to part ways with Erih. We are thanking him for his help in Qualifiers and Groups Stage to World Finals.

Voidle said:
I'm really sad with this news, but despite to this I'm thankful to the team for giving me opportunity to play on such level and for the time which we spent together. Team and Riot made my dream come true which I had in the beginning of the year. I wish them good luck in 4th season of LCS and I hope that I'll meet them as a competitor.

Currently Gambit Gaming didn't announce their 5'th player. Probably it's time to come back for  Eduard 'Edwar' Abgaryan?
