Disconnected IGL Christopher "Swahn" Swahn" has announced the dissolution of the squad after recording only a single match in ESL Challenger League, with Swahn citing the departure of Matthew "D4rtyMontana" Paplawskas as the nail in the coffin for the squad's disbandment.

After Disconnected secured a respectable showing in ECL Season 43, posting a 4-3 regular-season record before bowing out early in playoffs, the squad saw a number of changes heading into the new year with the departures of Tianyi "Fr3nk1e" He and Paul "aris" Wilson due to conflicts over playstyle. In their place, Disconnected procured the services of Michael "Munk" Klotz and Charles "ChwE" Whitehead for ECL Season 44.

This new-look Disconnected debuted with a quarterfinal finish in the fl0m Cup 2023, but failed to make deep runs in other events and qualifiers as they found themselves bested by other ECL squads. Disconnected would face another blow in the form of the exit of Silas "silas" Marrufo, who made the switch to Vendetta after the latter squad lost Saad "Pluto" Siraj to ATK. In order to retain their core from the previous season of ECL, Dave "seziwana" Schrage was brought as a stand-in in to fill the gap left behind by Silas.

Not long after silas' departure, D4rtyMontana began to venture out beyond Disconnected as well, playing the second IEM Rio 2023 open qualifier with Bobby "stamina" Eitrem's short-lived Demon Time. Although stamina would go on to abandon this project in favor of joining Strife, the core of Demon Time lived on in the form of yur, who would ultimately go on a miraculous run through the BLAST.tv Paris Major North America RMR Closed Qualifier, qualifying for the RMR in Monterrey, Mexico.

With D4rtyMontana now fully engaged with yur, Disconnected are now unable to field a core of three players to maintain their place in ECL. The players who formerly made up Disconnected are:

• Christopher "Swahn" Swahn

• Charles "ChwE" Whitehead

• Michael "Munk" Klotz

• Szymon "LAJT" Jaworski (Coach)

Swahn and the other members of Disconnected will now be on the hunt for new squads as Season 44 of ECL marches on.
