These Teams Are Participating

  • Team Lobanjica: The roster consists of Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović, Nikola "Lobanjica" Mijomanović, Eugene "Aunkere" Karyat, Victoria "Victoria" Ukasova and Karim "Krimbo" Moussa. This team certainly got a functional "brain" with kassad as a potential ingame leader.

  • Team Nadeking: The roster consists of Henry "HenryG" Greer, Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson, Lucas "Lucky" Chastang, Mayline-Joy "ASTRA" Champliaud and Nadeking. With former pro-players like Lekr0 and Lucky, this team might be a contender for the tournament victory.

  • Team Get_Right: The roster consists of Christopher "Get_Right" Alesund, Ksenia "vilga" Kluenkova, Kenny "kennyS" Schrub, Frederik "acoR" Gyldstrand and Harry "JustHarry" Russel. With two of the biggest legends in professional Counterstrike is Team Nadeking rich on star power.

  • Team Nikolarn : The roster consists of Sergey "starix" Ischuk, Owen "smooya" Butterfield, Thomas "Thomas" Utting, Ana "Zana" Queiroz and Nikolarn. The question is how far can AWPer smooya carry this team? With starix he got an experinced coach and former player behin him

  • Team olofmeister: The roster consists of Tomáš "oskar" Šťastný, Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer, Richard "shox" Papillon, Ksenia "Ksu" Volkova and Nestor "LETN1" Tanic. This team might be the ultimate contender and favorite, with four former or active pro-players this seemes too easy.

  • Team Pimp : The roster consists of Jacob "Pimp" Winneche, Nathan "NBK" Schmitt, Chad "SPUNJ" Burchill, Mihai "iM" Ivan and Tanya "t4tty" Vorontsova. With three analysts in the team, this team can produce new strategies out of nowhere, but is this enough?

  • Team AdreN : The roster consists of Dauren "AdreN"Kystaubayev, Sergey "hally" Shavaev, Victoria "tory" Kazieva, Robert "Patsi" Isyanov and Vladislav "Iattykk" Vydrin. AdreN is a former mayor-winner and might be experinced enough to lead his team to victory.

  • Team TrilluXe : The roster consists of Danny "BERRY" Krüger, Lennart "TrilluXe" K., Kevin "misutaaa" Rabier, Alexandra "twenty3" Timonina and Aleksandr "Kairon" Anashkin. The popular german streamer TrilluXe gathered a rather unknown team behin him. With misutaa and BERRY he got atleast two experinced CS:Go players to help him.

With a high amount of former and current pro-players, even the quality of the tournament might be high. We will see who can claim the victory, and maybe some scouts are watching as well.
