Sangal official statement: They have parted ways with 21-year-old rifleman h0kx.

Sangal's CS2 division confirmed on Sunday that it has parted ways with Turkish rifleman Hakan Saricham (ID: h0kz).

As for h0kz's successor, Sangal has not yet disclosed any information. They only wrote in the post: "We thank Hakan for his contributions to Sangal and wish him all the best in the future."

The 21-year-old h0kz came through Sangal's youth academy and was promoted to the starting lineup in January 2026 along with Selman Ozan (ID: R4DYX). However, due to his underwhelming performance after being promoted, he was relegated to the bench by Sangal in early February.

During this period, h0kz only played 20 maps and participated in 438 rounds for Sangal, with an average personal rating of 0.89. Meanwhile, Sangal's performance continued to be poor: they first finished 13th-16th in the IEM Rio Global Qualifiers, and then finished 17th-19th in the CCT Season 3 European Series 13 Closed Qualifiers.

h0kz has been unemployed for nearly three months now. He also posted a job application on the X platform, but has yet to find a new employer.

Following these adjustments, Sangal's roster is as follows:

Rifleman: Timur Sabirov (ID: clax)

Commander: Robert Ishanov (ID: Patsi)

Sniper: Selman Ozan (ID: R4DYX)

Rifleman: Luca Voit (ID: pr1metapz)

Coach: Jimmy Berndtson (ID: Jumpy)

Substitute: Danil Roslyakov (ID: danistzz)

Substitute: Yevgeny Yermolin (ID: Norwi)
