Shimmer shuffle concludes with phoebe heading home

On January 11th, Shimmer unveiled their new roster for ESL Impact League Season 7 and ESEA Advanced Season 52, with the most profound change being the departure of Phoebe "phoebe" Winter as the Aussie has returned home due to issues staying in NA as an orgless player. In her place, the team have picked up Sylvie "Serendipity" Splaver, seeing her link with former Imp Pact teammates Raven "raven" Sol and Wrenna "Stx" Trampel.

The addition of Serendipity marks the conclusion of a tumultuous period for the Shimmer squad as Dust2.us understands there was conflict and disagreement within the orgless team over its future, with many players weighing their options during the start of the year. This time notably saw coach Skye "gir" Fox and manager Scott "ParkS" Park leave the team, with the latter's department seeing Shimmer go without their manager for the first time in the team's history outside of TSM Shimmer.

Serendipity is a relatively new face to the ESL Impact scene, having only made their debut last season in ESL Impact League Season 6. During that time she posted a 1.18 rating over 15 maps in a strong debut for the 24-year-old rifler.

Alongside Serendipity, Shimmer have also added Victor "Ink" R. as their coach, with the Ukrainian-American returning to the Impact scene after managing and coaching Lotus and Limitless Angels in mid 2024.

Shimmer are now:

• Lucy "empathy" Verkaik

• Wrenna "Stx" Trampel

• Raven "raven" Sol

• Lydia "Fawx" Dalton

• Sylvie "Serendipity" Splaver

• Victor "Ink" R. (Coach)

Shimmer are currently 1-0 in ESEA Advanced S52 and will be facing off against Wanted Goons tonight.
