On May 14th 2026, Team Secret announced that their IGL and longest standing member of the Rainbow Six Siege roster would be leaving the team.

During Team Secret's amazing run of form in 2025, Savage became regarded as one of the top in game leaders in the world. His aggressive system that incorporated shield operators and flipping attacks matched the meta perfectly and Team Secret had their best year as an organization to date. They won Esports World Cup 2025, finished 2nd at the Six Invitational 2026 and finished top 3 in every regional league of the year. So why would Savage leave?

After the conclusion of the Six Invitational 2026, multiple top teams in the Europe MENA League decided to make major roster moves which left them with open spots. Jume, Secret's star player, joined Team Falcons to replace Shaiiko and Adrian went to North America to join Wildcards success. With their winning roster torn apart, Team Secret tried to weather the storm by picking up two veterans of the game, Nafe and CTZN. While these two players are very experienced and have each found success on multiple teams, things didn't quite workout for Secret in Europe MENA League Kickoff 2026. They failed to qualify for the Salt Lake City Major and statistically Noa was their only player that did not woefully underperform.

It is rumoured that following the dropping of Hotancold, M80 will be the next destination for Savage. This Major winning roster with Fabian at the helm would be a great place for Savage to find the success he once had.
