As European sides look to gain an early advantage in the off-season, Endpoint CeX has officially unveiled 17-year-old Enzo "Seikoo" Grondein as their third man in the Rocket League roster.

Seikoo will join the roster in place of Nelson "virtuoso" Lasko, who was released by the British organisation back in April. 

Lucas "RelatingWave" Rose and Otto "Metsanauris" Kaipiainen will complete the roster heading into RLCS XI, as Endpoint CeX look to improve on their tenth-placed finish from last season.

Seikoo will join the roster having no experience in the RLCS, with his only attempt at qualification being in the first Regional of the Fall Split, where he fell just short of making it with Space Knights.

Despite having little experience, the rookie comes as an exciting prospect, according to Endpoint CeX coach Aron "Eclipse" Jones.

Eclipse told GGRecon: "We've decided to go with Seikoo because his playstyle matches what we wanted to move forward with perfectly and with his young age allows us to develop and mould him into an integral cog in our team. Also, he's French, and we all know how good the French are!"

Endpoint CeX enjoyed a solid season in the RLCS X, especially during the Fall Split. Having placed second in the third Regional, they went on to get a top-four finish at the Major. Despite some promising early results, the side petered out, with their eyes set on rebuilding for a stronger season next time around.

The transfer is the first to come out of EU from an RLCS team, giving them ample time to work with Seikoo ahead of his debut season. The organisation has also confirmed that all three players will be playing Rocket League full-time, allowing for more time to develop the young Frenchman.
