1. Faded Squad wins the Spirits Cup.

date: 10/06/2024, author: sequ3r

Yesterday, at around 2 pm, the grand final of the Spirits Cup's grand final. tournament kicked off. As it happened, our partner – Faded Squad – played in the grand final. The final was played in a BO3 format. Naturally, as befits a final of this calibre, we saw all three maps in the match. The match was streamed live on the Troglodyty channel.

In the end, it was Faded Squad who won. Congratulations on your victory in this tournament and best of luck in the upcoming competitions. Congratulations also to TNC Esports on finishing in second place.

Statistically speaking, the Faded Squad players performed similarly in this final. There was no standout player, which only reinforces our belief that to win a match, you don’t need aim stars, but a well-built and solid team. Nevertheless, we’d like to introduce you to the player with the best statistics – PaKoOHS666, who secured 51 kills whilst dying 46 times across three maps. His K/D ratio stands at 1.10.

Once again, congratulations to Faded Squad on their victory in this tournament, and we invite you to follow their official social media:

The Polish CS2 Underground ranking hasn’t changed much since the last update. The top 10 remains virtually unchanged, but there have been a few changes from 11th place onwards. Türkiye Federasyonu is worth a special mention, having climbed as many as five places from 20th to 15th.

3. Hevind eSports knocked out of the ESEA Open10 playoffs

date: 05/12/2024, author: BambikXDE

Hevin eSports has certainly been keeping busy in recent weeks. They are taking part in the ‘ESEA Open10’ and ‘Arrmy Open’ playoffs. Today we’ll see how they fared in the ‘ESEA Open10’.

The group stage of “ESEA Open10” ended with a 6-8 record, which placed Hevind in Playoff Pot B. However, their first playoff match did not go to plan and they lost 1-2 (Vertigo: 19-15, Anubis: 7-13, Dust 2: 11-13) to WARSONG. This defeat placed them in the lower bracket, where they could not afford to lose.

Hevind eSports 1:2 WARSONG
(Vertigo: 19:15, Anubis: 7:13, Dust 2: 11:13)

They started the lower bracket with a bye. Next, they faced KHORE GAMING. However, they were unable to rise to this challenge either and lost 0:2 (Anubis: 9:13, Inferno: 2:13). Thus, Hevind ended the “ESEA Open10” playoffs without advancing to the higher division.

Hevind eSports 0-2 KHORE GAMING
(Anubis: 9-13, Inferno: 2-13)

Hevind eSports ends its campaign in the “ESEA Open10” with a result that is certainly unsatisfactory for the players. In the “Army Open”, they recently advanced to the third round of the playoffs, which they will play on Friday, 6 December at 19:15.

4. Firewolf Clan announces a coach.

date: 06/09/2024, author: sequ3r

We know full well that any organisation expecting good results needs a shrewd coach. We have received news of a new coach for Firewolf Clan, who looks set to be just that.

“KHANCZESIO”has officially become the new coach of Firewolf Clan. The players will have someone to learn from in terms of in-game expertise, which could translate into results in upcoming matches. The players are sure to be filled with motivation following the arrival of someone who can finally bring some structure to their gameplay.

Current Firewolf Clan line-up:

🇵🇱 storM
🇵🇱 m0LGI
🇵🇱 BotFloyd
🇵🇱 Justin

COACH – 🇵🇱 khanCzesio

Firewolf Clan recently lost one player, Lisu, who played as In-Game Leader (IGL). We know that the coach cannot work with the players without someone responsible for directing the game, so we can probably expect an announcement of a new player soon.

6. New partner: Firewolf Clan.

date: 14/08/2024, author: Malun

As you may have noticed, the ‘Partners’ section of the website is constantly being updated. Some teams cease to be active or disband, meaning we lose partners. Today, however, we are pleased to announce that our circle of partners is expanding to include a new one, with whom we hope to have the opportunity to collaborate for as long as possible. The partner in question is Firewolf Clan, an organisation founded in February 2023. Since then, the team has had the opportunity to compete in numerous tournaments, including Esport Pomaga, the Galaxy Cup and the Invictus League, whilst also organising boot camps for its players. At present, the team consists solely of a Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) division.

Firewolf Clan players:

🇵🇱 Maciej “BotFloyd” Jasiński
🇵🇱 Kacper “Justin” Osowski
🇵🇱 Tomasz “Lisumeister” Lis
🇵🇱 Radosław “m0LGI” Molga
🇵🇱 Igor “storM” Rybicki

8. Exiters is out of the open army.

date: 14/08/2024, author: Malun

Another of our partners has been eliminated in the ARRMA Open playoffs. The team in question, Exiters, were unsure of their place in the playoffs until the very end of the regular season, as we reported earlier. They ultimately finished the regular season in 76th place and were lucky enough to make it through to the playoffs. However, they didn’t get to enjoy it for long, as they were defeated in the very first round of the playoffs. They weren’t even close to taking a single map from their opponents, thus being eliminated and ending their journey in the ARRMY Open S10.

Match results against Grajcownia:

5:13 Dust 2
5:13 Nuke

The players didn’t get the chance to show their best form and will certainly not count this season as a success. Nevertheless, we hope that the next one will be much better and that they will put up a much tougher fight for a place in the Rising League.

We now know the four semi-finalists of the GALAXY CUP: Reborn Edition (CS2) tournament. Although the BO3 results do not suggest the matches were evenly matched, there were some maps that were interesting for viewers, such as Ancient in the Los Kogutos AC vs. TNC Esport match, which ended 22:20.

10. YNG SKiLLZ take first place

date: 16/06/2024, author: sequ3r

A few days ago, the group stage of the VPG Polish Cup officially came to an end. YNG SKiLLZ had a fairly average start to the group stage. As was the case with their performances in VPG Premier, their play improved with every match they played. Ultimately, they managed to turn a 4-3-2 record into 13-3-2. Winning nine matches in a row secured them first place in the group stage, giving the team a better seeding in the first round of the play-offs and the round of 16.

The Round of 32 and Round of 16 will be played online, whilst the quarter-finals, semi-finals and grand final will be played offline, i.e. at a LAN event.
Congratulations on finishing top of the group. We’re keeping our fingers crossed and firmly believe that they’ll manage to win their next two matches, so we can see YNG Skillz at the Kinguin Esports Centre in Gdańsk.
