Despite several playoff games left to play, Team Liquid’s League of Legends squad is leaking members.

Both AD carry Jovani “fabbbyyy” Guillen and jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett have left the roster.

Neither departure is particularly surprising, with fabbbyyy being benched for the NA LCS playoffs in favor of Phil “Jynthe” Vu and Dardoch having been suspended for behavioral issues in the past.

Interestingly, though, Dardoch is heading to Echo Fox, a roster that finished significantly lower than Team Liquid during the regular season.

In a statement, Echo Fox owner Rick Fox welcomed their latest addition.

“Dardoch brings a competitive spirit that we feel will fit right in with our team,” he said. “He has a desire compete both personally and as a team at the highest level and will settle for nothing less. I feel this will help the competitiveness of our team and I welcome him to Echo Fox.”

fabbbyyy, on the other hand, posted on his Twitter that he’s on the lookout for a new team to join.

In the NA LCS playoffs, Jynth will continue to start for Liquid in the AD carry position and, in a statement to ESPN, Liquid general manager Nick Phan announced that substitute mid laner Lyonel “Arcsecond” Pfaender will be starting in the jungle. Liquid’s next match is against Team Envy in the first round of the NA LCS regional qualifiers on September 3.

Taylor Cocke is very intrigued to see what Dardoch can do with Froggen at his back. Follow Taylor on Twitter @taylorcocke.
