1. Clutch Masters rankings – updated 21 February 2025

by BambikXDE, date: 21/02/2025

Finally, after a long wait, we’re back with the rankings. It’s no longer the CS2 underground scene, but Clutch Masters. Apart from the name, the scoring rules have also changed, as we mentioned in our last article on the rankings (article).

Moving on to a description of the current ranking. First place is held by TNC, who have been in excellent form in every tournament or league we’ve seen them in. Second place goes to Prime Bulls, who are among our partners and have also been performing superbly recently despite the changes. Pandemonium rounds off the top three; they are currently fighting for promotion to ESEA Main and have a win under their belt against the current leaders, TNC. You can see the rest of the rankings below.

author: Adrian Skillz, date: 12/11/2024

The Bulls Team announces that as many as four of its players have been named in the Polish national team squad for the upcoming Nations League competition. The team’s fantastic performance at the start of the VPG Poland league, where they secured a full 15 points from five matches and earned a place in Proleague.de, Proleague Poland and the Champions League, has resulted in call-ups to the squad led by Mateusz “Zakrześ” Zakrzewski.

The Bulls Team players called up to the Polish national team:

🇵🇱 Lorenco_HP (GK)
🇵🇱 Karmelinho (CAM)
🇵🇱 LariqTV (CAM/CDM/PS)
🇵🇱 Mandi aka MandiLaBomba (ST)

A player representing Eleven Hunters, our partner, has also been called up to the Polish national team!

3. The Separatists in action

author: sequ3r, date: 27/02/2025

The Separatists play every week in the VPG Poland second division, where they currently sit in 5th place in the table with 16 points.

Today at 20:15, 20:40 and 21:05, The Separatists will take on their next opponents in rounds 8–10 of the league.

• 20:15 vs. Hackers Esports (H)
• 8.40 pm vs. Brda Przechlewo (H)
• 21:05 vs. Imperial Dragons (H)

We wish them the best of luck in today’s matches and hope that in just a few days we’ll be writing about more good results for our partner.

As we mentioned earlier, our partner has played seven rounds and currently sits in the top half of the table.

The Separatists’ recent matches (from Round 7 to Round 1)

• 1:2 | FURIOZA (A)
• 3:1 | Corner Club (H)
• 3:2 | Casual Kickers (H)
• 2:0 | Wózki eSport (H)
• 0:2 | Dach Esport (A)
• 4:0 | Atom eSports (H)
• 1:1 | OKS Otwock e-Sports (A)

(H) – home match
(A) – away match

The Separatists are also competing in ProLeague Polska, where they currently sit third, also in the second division. They currently have 43 points, although the results of the second round have not yet been entered by the league administrators – “new, I knew it”. At the beginning of February, we wrote about The Separatists as the leaders. They may still return to the top once ProLeague has tallied the points.

4. Young Stars Academy – results in ESEA

author: Malun, date: 9/02/2025

The performance of the Young Stars academy division in the ESEA Open looks above average, and so far we can certainly praise them.

The players have now played 8 matches, and their record stands at 4-4. Their current position in the table can be estimated at 425th. A minor concern is that the players have recently been in a dip in form, having won just one of their last five matches. It seems that this five-day break should do them good.

Young Stars Academy matches:

• 13:5 vs. LANCE DANCE, dust2
• 13:4 vs. Quit Reality, anubis
• 13:8 vs. TEAM ENZO, anubis
• 11:13 vs. Atlantis Team, anubis
• 8:13 vs. Lost Talents, dust2
• 17:19 vs. Natus Lords, mirage
• 13:8 vs. RYTHLESS, anubis
• 4:13 vs. Cyberland, mirage

After a five-day break, the players are hoping for a win against N2 on 5 February 2025 at 20:30. Improving their record is certainly advisable here, and although the Young Stars academy knows it won’t be easy, they are counting on a confident victory.

6. Hevind Esports in 2nd place on Winners.gg

author: BambikXDE, date: 27/11/2024

The “Winners.gg” tournament concluded a few days ago. One of our partners taking part in this tournament was Hevind eSports. How did they get on and what place did they finish in?

In the group stage, our partner finished with a 4:0 record, winning all their matches. The teams they beat were: Signum Academy, f4nasic, Fusion Esport and LastHeroesGaming. The first matches were won by walkover, whilst in the subsequent ones Hevind won with scores of 13:9 and 13:0.

After such a strong group stage, it was time for the playoffs, which Hevind began with a 13:3 victory over FLASHFIRE in the quarter-finals. The semi-final match was then won by walkover due to the opposing team disbanding.

In the final, Hevind eSports faced their recent group stage rivals, Fusion Esport. This time, however, the match went in Fusion’s favour, who, after a close encounter, won 2–0 – 13–10, 13–4. Thus, Hevind eSports finished the tournament in second place.

7. A comfortable win for Gloris eSports in ESEA

author: Malun, date: 13/02/2025

Round 10 of the ESEA Open has now come to an end. Gloris eSports sealed their last two matches with confident victories, securing a balanced record. Gloris eSports’ record stands at 5 wins and 5 losses, and probably no one would have predicted such a strong performance after a poor start to the season. However, the players have bounced back and are now surely looking to fight for nothing but wins.

Gloris eSports matches:

• 14:16 vs. MiauStars, nuke
• 7:13 vs. Foxed, nuke
• 13:11 vs. ELOPUIMURI, nuke
• 4:13 vs. TXT Gaming, dust2
• 13:6 vs. Viseria, mirage
• 13:6 vs. Myyrmaki47, Anubis
• 8:13 vs. Five Guns, dust2
• 13:8 vs. Inceptor Eaglet, nuke
• 13:8 vs. kvanttikonnat, nuke

All that remains is to keep our fingers crossed for the players, who, with these victories under their belts, are surely hungry for more. They have a short break, as the next match isn’t until 19 February 2025 at 20:30, but that shouldn’t have a negative impact on them.

8. Superion Gaming introduces their coach and commentator

author: BambikXDE, date: 12/11/2024

Superion Gaming is growing steadily as an organisation. In recent days, a post appeared on their X.com profile stating that the players from their CS2 division are currently at a bootcamp. And now they are announcing two new members of this division.

The first of these is commentator Mateusz “Nietzsche” Kulka. He is an experienced commentator who has covered numerous tournaments. He also appears behind the microphone at “Arrmy” competitions.

The second member announced for the division, or more specifically the CS2 team, is coach Julian “Rudy” Cieśla. He has been involved with Counter-Strike for a very long time, having started his career as a player in 2014. In 2021, he stepped away from the game, only to return at the start of this year (2024), this time not as a player but as a coach.

Current CS2 division line-up:
🇵🇱 Kamil “husarz” Żelewski – player
🇵🇱 Jakub “oldu” Wedeł – player
🇵🇱 Fabian “FABII” Ostrowski – player
🇵🇱 Mariusz “MapeT” Sitnik – player
🇵🇱 Wojciech “simplusss” Sadowski – player
🇵🇱 Julian “Rudy” Cieśla – coach

🇵🇱 Mateusz “Nietzsche” Kulka – commentator

With this upgrade, Superion Gaming is showing that it can become an organisation that emerges from the underground and achieves something more on the CS2 scene.

10. Prime Bulls wins the tournament

author: sequ3r, date: 12/02/2025

Yesterday at 17:00, the final of the Galaxy Cup: Reborn Edition II tournament took place, where our partner – Prime Bulls – faced off against Pandemonium. The match began at 17:00 and was played in a best-of-three format. The first map we saw was the Polish de_mirage, where the ‘Bulls’ won 13–11, taking a 1–0 lead in maps. It is also worth mentioning that at half-time the score was 8–4 to Pandemonium (PB played the first half on the terrorist side). Then our partner won the pistol round, and a comeback was on the cards.

The second map was Ancient. After such a closely fought Mirage, nothing (it seemed) foreshadowed such a short and one-sided map dominated by Prime Bulls. In a nutshell, the “Bulls” ran riot over Pandemonium with a score of 13–4.

Prime Bulls beat Pandemonium 2-0 in the final of the Galaxy Cup: Reborn Edition II and are the champions. Congratulations.

Prime Bulls’ path to the final

• 2-0 vs. Hussars (semi-final)
  • ancient 13–5
  • Mirage 13:6
• 2-0 vs. Grin Esports (quarter-final)
• 2:0 vs. Misstakes (round of 16)

We don’t know who will be named the tournament’s MVP, or whether the organisers will award one at all. Should this change, we will let you know in our next article.
