Since the start of the year, Fortnite pros Cloud, Kyle &#8220;Herrions&#8221; Trusley, Vinny &#8220;Vinny1x&#8221; Gilgan and Leon &#8220;Khanada&#8221; Khim have also left TSM.<\/p>\n<p>While the reason for Team SoloMid&#8217;s decision to downsize their Fortnite project remains unclear, the cancellation of 2020 Fortnite World Cup is likely a contributing factor. With no prospects of a big payday from the World Cup, there is little financial incentive to continue operating a Fortnite team.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes only two months after <a href=\"\/team-solomid-drop-pubg-and-rocket-league-rosters\/\" title=\"TSM drop PUBG and Rocket League rosters\">TSM announced they were closing down their Rocket League and PlayerUnknown&#8217;s Battlegrounds rosters<\/a>, which were axed at the start of April. However, TSM relaunched their PUBG project on April 24 with the signing of the former WTSG roster.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today we bid farewell to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TSM_Crue?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TSM_Crue<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all your hard work and dedication during your time on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TSM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TSM<\/a>.
