The season prior, the Spitfire had four DPS players in their arsenal, these being Rascal , Hooreg , birdring , and Profit . Eventually, Rascal was acquired by the Fuel alongside aKm after Stage 1.
More players would soon be shed from the Spitfire roster as a core was decided, with four players being designated as inactive. Hooreg was one of these four. This left Profit and birdring as the sole DPS lineup for the team. However, his journey in free agency would be brief, as RunAway would add him to their ranks not long after his release.
This announcement brings the Spitfire player count up to seven players, requiring one more player to join the team's roster before December 1st.
