Please join us tomorrow to give him the amazing send-off he deserves! pic.twitter.com/KyBI6KyVwk
The two DPS players became the face of the Justice in Stage 4 last season when Corey's outstanding hitscan play captured the imagination of the league and Stratus's personality made itself apparent on stage.
Corey played for the Justice in every match in the team's history. Stratus played less frequently but still earned a reputation as Corey's primary DPS partner on the Justice.
They are going separate paths following retirement. Corey said in his retirement Twitlonger, "I’m leaving to pursue a game that really hit home for me. Valorant. When I was younger, I had the ambition to go pro in Counter Strike. Seeing Valorant as a hybrid between CS and OW, this looks like the game that was made for me." Stratus is retiring to focus on content creation, with more details to be revealed after the match.
The Justice will just have one DPS player on their roster following this weekend's match: TTuba . They will need to sign a new DPS player before their upcoming matches.
