Wildturtle has expressed a desire to have a full time starting position.

On May 25th, TSM announced ADC Jason “WildTurtle” Tran’s departure via TSM's official site. As he has left the team, Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng will take the place of him. TSM revealed that WildTurtle had expressed a desire to have a full-time starting position, and when an opportunity to play that position arose, he took it and transferred to FlyQuest.

WildTurtle said a few words about his departure.

“I've spent most of my career on TSM now and I’m extremely thankful for all the experiences I've had with Andy and the rest of the team. I'm really going to miss playing with everyone and within such a motivated environment. At the same time, I’m looking forward to this next split and to be moving onto another stage of my career with my old teammates Hai, Lemon, and Balls. I think FlyQuest will be a good home for me, and I hope I can continue my success with them.”

Andy “Reginald” Dinh also spoke about WildTurtle leaving the team.

“Turtle has been a friend of mine even before he initially joined us in Season 3. I’m super pleased that he’s found a home on a team with players he both likes and respects. He has  demonstrated a quality of character and work ethic that embodies the spirit of TSM in all his years of play, and for that I have every wish that he is able to be successful and happy not just in his career but in all aspects of his life. I expect to remain good friends with him personally for years to come. I hope that the fans can respect this roster change and appreciate the amount of hard work and dedication Turtle has put into making TSM the best it can possibly be.”

TSM also announced that they are looking for a second AD Carry to replace WildTurtle. The second AD Carry will be sharing play and scrim time with Doublelift and is expected to carry out the same duties of any member of the team.
