Riot Squad said goodbye to their CS: GO roster
Ihor MatusOn January 23, FNS was relieved of his duties as a player, after which he transferred to the Orgless team, and on January 28, Riot Squad was left without a coach. Until today, the roster had four players: ptr, mitch, crashies and Jonji. The first three joined the club on June 19 last year, when they were still playing under the Bad News Bears tag, and Jonji became part of the Riot Squad on August 8, 2019. Together with Riot, Grim also played as part of ESEA MDL Season 33. He will continue to perform along with his teammates after terminating the contract with the club.
As the main reason for the dissolution of the team, Riot Squad cited innovations from ESL, which halved the number of ESL Pro League participants, as a result of which the team had to play in ESEA MDL Season 33, a league with a prize pool of 40 times less than in ESL Pro League North America . Now, eSports representatives want to take a break from CS: GO and think about how to proceed.
Now the whole five will continue to play under the Bad News Bears tag as they did before joining Riot Squad.
