Sashi release TjP and Hatz amid Valve region-swap dispute

Sashi has parted ways with Tynan Purtell and Jordan Bajic, confirming an earlier report. The Australian pair had joined at the start of the month to form an Asian core aimed at improving the team's Singapore Major qualification chances. Sashi owner Claus D0KT0R3N Nielsen said poor results were not the reason and accused Valve of giving BC.Game preferential treatment over region-swap rules.

Expanded Detail

Sashi, a Danish organization, has ended its brief project with Australians Tynan "TjP" Purtell and Jordan "Hatz" Bajic. They arrived earlier this month to build an Asian lineup with Vietnamese player Anton "Anlelele" Huynh, hoping to boost Singapore Major qualification chances. New Zealander AWPer Michael "chelleos" Hawkins was also signed but released before playing.

Valve's updated region-swap rules impose a three-month delay, and teams that changed regions before the Singapore Major risk disqualification unless exempted. BC.Game reportedly received such an exception after adding Tyson "asap" Paterson. Sashi's results suffered at Stake Pulse Beat III and DraculaN Season 7. The owner said the split was mutual and disputed results as the cause, citing unanswered communication from Valve. Sashi now has two active players, Anlelele and Rasmus "Zyphon" Nordfoss.
