oBo to be let back into FPL on trial
As we reported yesterday, Milos "Mikey" Nedeljkovic announced that FPL NA would undertake the strict moderation policy of its sister platform in Europe, which resulted in the demotion of multiple players in the division.
Following the initial announcement, users on social media were quick to criticize the demotion of certain players, namely Owen "oBo" Schlatter as well as Sam "s0m" Oh. Swole Patrol member Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir was among the many who voiced their support for oBo, claiming the young player was "always a good teammate and deserved to be [in FPL]."
In response to the backlash and criticism, Mikey announced over social media that he agreed with the players and stated that oBo will be let back into the league as a trial, rather than being fully demoted to FPL-C. The other players who were demoted yesterday — most notably s0m — are not affected by the decision.
Players who are on trial are still allowed to play in FPL, however will be subsequently kicked should they not improve their performance and/or attitude. oBo has responded to his promotion back to trial, stating that he is "very grateful for this opportunity" and that he "won't disappoint."
