The team seems to have already found a replacement as they were seen competing at the ongoing Pinnacle Fall Series 2 along with mirbit. However, his position within the organization has not been officially revealed till now. So he could be acting as a stand-in for this one event or the organization might be testing him out before making the final announcement.
As for ISSAA, the 24-year-old has come forward to thank the Turkish community for supporting him. He further mentioned that it was not ideal for the long term and finally concluded by stating that prospects with regards to his future are quite unclear.
Eternal Fire is still struggling to find its footing, not being able to establish itself as a top contender, and currently ranking 60 according to the HLTV CS:GO rankings. ISSAA on the other hand could be thinking about switching over to Valorant once again.
