UPDATE: This article has been updated to include the departures of reazy as of October 15 and Elite as of October 16.
BBL Esports BBL Esports Europe Rank #39 Jamppi Elias Olkkonen sociablEE Volkan Yonal chiwa Egor Stepanyuk PROFEK Dawid Święć LewN Burak Alkan has announced the respective departures of Doğukan "QutionerX" Dural and Eren "Brave" Kasırga from the team following the expiry of both of their contracts. As of October 16, Kaan "reazy" Ürpek and Efe "Elite" Teber have also departed the team under similar circumstances.
QutionerX joined BBL almost three years ago in December 2021 as the team's duelist and was the longest-standing member left on the roster. In 2022, they won the Turkey Stage 1 Closed Qualifier to claim their place in EMEA Challengers, where they would narrowly miss out on regional playoffs and later face immediate elimination in the Last Chance Qualifier.
Brave joined BBL prior to the 2023 season and played controller throughout his tenure. The first year of the partnership era proved difficult for the Turkish squad; they finished with a 3-6 regular season record in the EMEA League and once again settled just below the playoffs qualification line. They were subsequently eliminated in LCQ by Karmine Corp.
reazy and Elite came into the team for 2024 to respectively fulfill the initiator and sentinel roles. The 2024 season told a similar story to BBL's previous seasons; in both stages, BBL would come just one placement away from advancing to the EMEA playoffs. In Stage 1, they lost out in a five-way 3-3 tiebreaker in Group Alpha, and in Stage 2, they lost out in a three-way 4-6 tiebreaker in the overall standings. BBL ended their season in seventh place in VCT EMEA.
In September, Melih "pAura" Karaduran parted ways with the team as a restricted free agent. Combined with these departures, BBL has officially separated with their entire 2024 roster.
