Following Kellex’s retirement from professional Overwatch, the Toronto Defiant have added main support player Kruise who was previously part of the Paris Eternal. He didn’t play in their match against the Los Angeles Gladiators this weekend, but is a welcome addition to the team after their starting main support’s depature.
Kruise began his Overwatch League career last season with the Paris Eternal but Paris struggled for much of the 2019 season. Heading into 2020, Paris made some changes and added some key new players. The changes have proven successful so far this season as the Eternal look like a much better team than previously. Unfortunately, Kruise hasn’t seen much play time this season and instead has been relegated to the bench in favor of newcomer FDGod.
The Toronto Defiant played with RoKy at main support once again. RoKy has been with the Defiant since their entrance into the Overwatch League last season, but like Kruise, hasn’t seen much playing time. It will be interesting to see which player gets the starting nod once Kruise is in a position to play with the team.
This could work out for both Kruise and the Toronto Defiant. Kruise had been seemingly benched for good on the Eternal this season and the Defiant just lost Kellex who had been their starting main support throughout all of 2020 so far. While, it isn’t a guarantee Kruise will be starting, he is a well-known EU player and should fit right in with the other strong personalities on the Toronto Defiant.
