According to sources, Seo “Suggest” Jae-young and Kim "HSK" Hae-seong may potentially depart the active roster of DetonatioN Gaming White and possibly return to the Korean scene following their VCT Stage 1: Japan elimination in the open qualifiers to IGZIST and Reignite respectively.
Suggest saw a move from being secondary flex player from his longtime tenure on NUTURN Gaming to primarily playing Jett, while also taking up some other roles. Meanwhile, HSK, former IGL of longtime South Korean CS:GO powerhouse, MVP:PK, joined DetonatioN in December of 2021 following the end of his mandatory military service in Korea.
Suggest achieved a peak ACS of 430 during the Open Qualifiers, with HSK DetonatioN Gaming not straying too far behind in terms of impact in-game. Even in matches that they lost, the Korean pair typically could be seen topping off the scoreboard in average ACS.
In early March, DetonatioN Gaming put out a tweet stating that the organization is recruiting new players to fill in the Duelist & Sentinel/Flex role, and later stating as of March 28th that any role can be recruited, citing meta changes as a result of this.
Initial speculation within the Japanese scene pointed to Suggest departing the team, however the organization has since stated that at this time, there are no plans for HSK or Suggest to leave the team despite their roles being put on the first recruitment post.
Despite this statement, sources can confirm an interest by Suggest in wanting to return to Korea, with HSK’s future on the team being unknown. Yet, with all this in mind, as of now no organizations have been rumored to express interest in bringing back the two from the Japanese scene, however.
This story is still developing, so whether or not both players decide to stick with the team is up for discussion between all players involved. It is likely a final choice will be made in the offseason between Masters: Reykjavik and Stage 2 open qualifiers.
Two players have already left the team in recent days; and more are likely to follow.
If the two choose to depart DetonatioN Gaming White, the organization will be left with:
