In a bid to remain active, the player stated that he was open to other offers by esports organizations and would even consider transitioning to a coaching role. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As of today, EG is changing course and have moved me to being a substitute (6th player) on the main roster,&#8221; RUSH wrote. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being an integral part of building EG Black was very rewarding.

During his ten months with the academy lineup, the team did not accomplish any major feat. <\/p>\n<p>In the Twitter post, the player also revealed that his time with Evil Geniuses Black gave him a lot of clarity, making him aware of his desire to help and coach players. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;CS2 is nigh and I am as motivated as ever for it. Working with this young squad as an NA vet gave me a lot of clarity. Clarity in the sense that I really enjoy and find fulfillment helping players and people grow into a better version of themselves.
