The esports scene is abuzz with the news that Gabriel “Ask” Santos is leaving Black Dragons (BD), a well-established organization in the Rainbow Six Siege (R6) community. Ask’s departure comes after nearly two years with the team, a period marked by significant growth and achievement.
A New Chapter for Ask
In an emotional video, Ask and Nicolle “Cherrygumms” Merhy, CEO of Black Dragons, announced his exit. Ask expressed gratitude for his time with the team, citing it as a period of personal and professional rediscovery. The Black Dragons organization bid Ask farewell with a heartfelt message on social media: “We were part of a beautiful chapter in your story. We cherish every page written together. May new beginnings come, but may you never lose your way in stories that don’t strengthen you. You already know the path. With gratitude, we’ll see you on the server.”
Return to Team Liquid?
According to R6ATUALIZADO on X (formerly Twitter), Ask is set to return to Team Liquid (TL), his first esports organization. The news follows Ask’s cryptic post on X, hinting at his next destination. The post, a nod to Lebron James’ triumphant return to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014, suggested a homecoming of sorts for Ask. Lebron James had left Cleveland for the Miami Heat in 2010 but returned four years later, marking a memorable comeback. The video tribute, titled “I’m coming home,” featured highlights from James’ time with the Cavaliers.
Ask’s history with Team Liquid dates back to 2021 when he joined the organization and secured two Brazilian titles in 2021 and 2022. He was also named Rookie of the Year in 2021, a testament to his burgeoning talent. The prospect of Ask rejoining Team Liquid has generated excitement among fans and insiders alike, with many speculating about the potential impact on the competitive R6 landscape.
