KRÜ Esports, the organization backed by soccer stars Lionel Messi and Sergio Agüero, has parted ways with Brazilian Counter-Strike 2 player Lucas “honda” Honda. Honda joined the team in February, but his tenure lasted just under three months.
Reasons Behind the Split
The team announced Honda’s departure on May 12, 2025, via a tweet. KRÜ thanked Honda for his dedication and wished him success in his future endeavors. Honda took to social media to explain the situation, stating that KRÜ had found a player they believed could strengthen the team. He emphasized that the decision was made amicably and that there were no conflicts during his time with the organization. Honda attributed the lack of positive results to the short time the team had to gel.
What’s Next for Honda?
Honda will be free to sign with any team in 15 days without incurring any costs or penalties. This move marks his fourth team in his career, having previously played for FURIA, Case, and Vikings KR. Honda’s statement on X (formerly Twitter) provided insight into the circumstances surrounding his departure.
- Honda’s last day with KRÜ was May 12, 2025.
- He will be available to sign with other teams in 15 days.
- Honda has played for FURIA, Case, and Vikings KR in the past.
