Sources: TjP and Hatz out of Sashi after three weeks – Major dream is over

The Australian duo Tynan "TjP" Purtell and Jordan "Hatz" Bajic are done at Sashi Esports after just three weeks. This is reported by the Australian outlet DFRAG, citing sources close to the team. According to DFRAG, the split has happened by mutual agreement, and both players are returning home to Australia. Sashi has not yet confirmed the news.

This means the Danish project appears to be over before it truly got started. Less than a month ago, Sashi dropped their all-Danish lineup in an attempt to qualify for the PGL Singapore Major via Asia's VRS region. TjP and Hatz joined at the start of October, and Anton "Anlelele" Huynh became the third Asia-approved player after he changed his citizenship from Denmark to Vietnam. Michael "chelleos" Hawkins also signed, but left the team again after two days.

The Major chances disappeared following disappointing results at Stake Pulse Beat III in Sweden and DracuLAN Season 7 in Romania. Sashi themselves called their performances "simply unacceptable" on X on October 19th, writing that the team "is nowhere near the level we should be playing at". According to DFRAG, Sashi had also asked Valve for an exemption from the new rule requiring a team to wait three months before a mid-season switch of VRS region is approved. That exemption was not granted.

TjP is reportedly set to stand in for Rooster at the DFRAG Invitational in Brisbane next week, according to DFRAG, while Hatz's future remains unclear. Sashi are still registered for events including the NSTLGA Texas Open, but it is unknown whether the team will compete.
