CheckSix chose to release Ricardo Flores, also known as Maker or xSixMaker.



After much discussion, CheckSix has decided to part ways with one of their more notable players, Maker. Because of passport and visa issues, Maker was not able to attend Orlando as planned. Due to issues that will remain undisclosed, both parties felt it was best if ties between CheckSix and Ricardo were severed. CheckSix will not be renewing their contract with Maker and he will become a free agent.



Team Operations Director Michael Starr had this to say about Maker’s release:



“CheckSix Gaming would like to thank Ricardo for the time and effort put forth while he was a part of CheckSix. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”


With Maker’s exit, CheckSix will look to fill in the void he left. Follow CheckSix gaming at twitter or facebook to stay up to date on the organization’s status!

Hopefully he will find a new team to play with. Interesting player.

He'll definitely be a good pickup. He's like MajOr, not only in that he's mexican (lol) but even I can see the potential in this guy. He's awesome at macro games and he'll only be a damn good addition to any team he joins

Shame. Maker is one of the best LA players, but hasn't really had that break out performance in a big tournament. Best of luck

Visa problems that will not be disclosed.
I am sure the actual reason for denying the Visa is the reason why he was released.

Yeah. Well, I doubt the team management cares why the visa was denied. But if it is clear that he will have trouble getting visas in the future unfortunately it'd be pretty hard for him to do his job representing the team.

Nooo... This guy is soooo good! Why release him?! I hope he finds a new team soon.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Great player, but simply too hard to handle. Hopefully he can find a team that will be able to better control him and work with him.

Check Six is a super old American eSports organisation...sixjax is a penny auction company that decided to make a SC2 team. The fact that someone got them confused makes me a sad panda
