After trialling with a handful of potential replacements, Running with Scizors settled on [[Sezco]] two weeks later on April 26th.<ref name="Sezco joins Running with Scizors">[http://www.teamfortress.tv/33249/ Sezco joins Running with Scizors]</ref> Sezco played out the previous season with 8th place disbanded team [[The Grime]], but is also noted for his [[ESEA-I Season 15|Season 15]] spell with [[lost in translation]] (now [[RONIN gg]]) where the team ended up third in the peak of Sezco's TF2 career.
