In early June, Owen “smooya” Butterfield announced that he is becoming a free agent and is open to offers from various teams. Previously, he planned to continue his career in Asia as part of the Mongolian team TIGER, which he expected to join together with the Dane Mark “Snappi” Pfeiffer. However, at the end of May TIGER has achieved unexpected success with its current lineup, showing good results in the Asian stage of ESL One: Road to Rio. In this regard, the team has decided to abandon plans to replace players for now. However, she did not give official comments on this matter.
In his post on Twitter, Butterfield noted that he is currently only considering offers from teams from Europe and North America. Prior to this, he successfully performed for some time (until March 2020) in the American team Chaos, establishing himself as a very productive player. Most notably, he took part in FLASHPOINT Season 1. However, Owen's contract ended earlier than expected due to visa issues related to the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the difficulties, the player is determined to continue his e-sports career and expects to soon find a promising place.
