Aaron „AZR“ Ward, Sean „Gratisfaction“ Kaiwai and Jay „Liazz“ Tregillgas join directly from the former Thieves roster.

The 25-year-old is widely regarded as Indonesia's best CS:GO player and is also one of the best professionals in Asia.

According to HLTV, the team plans to compete in Europe but travel to North America for some RMR tournaments. All players have been able to earn valuable RMR points in 2020, which they want to keep by participating in said events to qualify for the Stockholm Major.

Since all CS:GO events in North America have switched to an online format, the roster had planned to move to a European team. In an interview, AZR stated, „I'm excited to finally play with my old teammates […] again and with our new colleague BnTeT.“

It will be exciting to see what level they are at compared to European teams. Against the backdrop of the weakening North American CS:GO scene, it will be a real challenge to prove themselves against the top teams in Europe.
