Karont3 drop CS:GO team

2-4-2013 20:25

Karont3 have parted company with their CS:GO squad, HLTV.org has learned.

The Spanish team were in action at Copenhagen Games last week, being sent to the event's B tournament after losing to EYES ON U and Quantic Gaming in the qualifier.

Karont3 went on to win the B tournament, which featured teams like Heroic, Vitriolic and CPLAY, defeating Derailed in the final to win hardware prizes from Roccat.

It has now been revealed that Karont3 has stopped supporting CS:GO, a decision that was not made based on the team's results at Copenhagen Games.

According to Arturo "sukitRon" Gil, the team had long known that they would have to go freelance, but still attended the Danish event as Karont3 had promised to send them there.

"We are on the lookout for an organization that we can help grow and that can help us grow, one that takes this as seriously as we do," Gil told HLTV.org.

"We will stay together and work hard to materialize all the potential this team has. We will continue to be one of the teams that train the most in Europe and will not make any roster change (pretty weird trait nowadays).

"We want to qualify for the ESEA Invite next season(if we are not qualified already) and go to as many events as possible.

Therefore, if any organization out there is interested in my team, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at [email protected].

"I'd like to thank Karont3 for this 10 months together, it`s definitely been an enriching experience that helped me mature in-game and as a person, I wish them the very best in the future."

The Spanish team are through to the Grand Final of the ESEA-Open playoffs, in which they are waiting for the team to come from the Lower Bracket. The team's lineup is the following:

Arturo "sukitRon" Gil
David "Kairi" de Miguel
José Vicente "Spanisfury" González Moreno
Juan Carlos "meisoN" Chacón
Daniel "kAlAs" Guinard

SAD!

why

2013-04-02 20:26

So weird, they represented karonte really good in my opinion. The qualifier was a bit unlucky but still.

Probably because their Starcraft 2 squad can represent the team better, so they'll save those extra funds for Starcraft.

yep, Lucifron is a beast

2013-04-03 01:08

And as far as I know, their older brother is the head guy of Karont3.

this not a work

"We will stay together and work hard to materialize all the potential this team has. We will continue to be one of the teams that train the most in Europe and will not make any roster change (pretty weird trait nowadays)." Can't be serious.Anyways they are not even close to spanish top so they are deserved kicked imo apart from having great players in the other sections.

2013-04-02 20:39

what of what

2013-04-02 20:40

the only time they have played against the supposed top 1 of spain ASES (i say supposed because they havent won any spanish lan or anything like that) in a tournament they beat them easily in a bo3 series

ASES won spanish EPS even though karont3 didn't. I don't even know about what match are you talking me about but spanish EPS i guess it's the most important spanish tournament and ASES won it and at LAN. Please don't even compare me players like Aguila with...i don't know any of karont3. Please.karont3 is a great org with such great top european players at SC2 they can't waste money in a team who even reaches the top at their nation.

Ur clearly standing up for ASES, i am not doing the same for Karont3 so you can keep talking alone but in facts ASES has played only 1 time vs Karont3 (in the LVP), and they lost easy way.. So for the moment, Karont3 1-0 ASES Keep exited about onliner results but stay away from me with that bullshit haha, only the finals was in lan

2013-04-02 20:55

hahaha you are the one standing up them lol...they even got a top3 in the EPS but hey...they are just better. Are you for any reason calling ASES onliners? Sincerely...you are retarded and you are the one in the k3 side. I just said they don't deserve to be there and THEY ARE NOT AS good as ASES. End of everything. They even proof theirselves at spanish EPS which is a shame. I think ANY european TOP30 can manage to do a top2 in spanish eps.

I am standing for no one, you stated in a impresive retarded way that Karont3 wasnt near the top 1 of spain and i had to reply... but it looks like i cant manage your stupidity... You dont write with facts, retard people like you doesnt need any fact to be notorious "karont3 bad ASES g00d j3j3j3j3j3j3j3" Keep the good work lol

2013-04-02 22:35

Not even close to top3 at EPS so yea they are far away from ASES.

2013-04-02 22:37

No need to call anyone names. Thank you.

2013-04-03 00:17

I really like how Karont3 plays, Kairi is a very smart player and he has been with the best spanish players in the past, so he knows of what is this game about. But I don't see them above ASES. You can say that they won them easily but the fact is that LVP is a minor tournament while ASES won the EPS season. Karont3 didn't even manage to get to the finals. Anyway I think they can do better in the future.

erm ok i saw them playing and they are under ASES so hard. I'm not gonna say anything about how they play individually but meh...they are not even top3 at spanish EPS and he is just trying to get the point on calling ASES "onliners" because they didn't play each other against at LAN.

2013-04-02 22:06

"ASES stronker stronk very TRONK and Karont3 v3ry Bad mens" Keep on trolling hltv's universe but dont put words in my mouth that i havent said and not even though about...

2013-04-02 22:29

I didn't say karont3 are bad you are just meaning it by urself. I just said they are not as good as ASES which is the complete truth.

2013-04-02 22:32

Well not being even near to the top of Spain is being bad so yes, i meaned that by myself and well, if you can read then pay attention to this one becouse it wont happend again So follow slowly: There is no truth on your statment okey?, If you really believe that ASES gona easily win ex-Karont3(roster) when they meet in lan then your the only one... or at least you have no clue at all, almost like a brain damaged at its best

2013-04-02 22:46

Not even top3 at spanish EPS. Enough said.

2013-04-02 22:55

I really didnt meant that the LVP match put ASES below... I was just pointing that the EPS doesnt put ASES above... Offtopic: watch this Sukitron vs Quantic round :> youtube.com/watch?v=jTfjp91mqq4

2013-04-02 22:12

Nice round but as i stated you above i didn't say anything badly about karont3 players im just saying that ASES are just simply better.

2013-04-02 22:34

that reply was for ferk

2013-04-02 23:15

They weren't good enough unfortunately, hope they can practice more and become better.

Karont3 lost the two pistols rounds and one eco on that match and ended 16 - 13... shit happends also EOU is a strong team with a strong nuke but you doesnt have a clue about what i am talking about do you? Keep acting like ASES is stronker stronker much more stronker stronker

2013-04-02 22:20

EOU strong nuke? lol be more sided please. Hope someone of EOU can just ridiculize you since im danish and know most of them.

2013-04-02 22:30

And your saying we're not even top 40 just shows the amount of braincells you've got :D

2013-04-03 00:30

Irony...not top40 but not even close to a top12?

2013-04-03 01:12

top 16 they were.

2013-04-03 11:00

ASES are stronger...deal with it and stop defending those guys like your life mr "xtokitron" if they were even decent they would make a top3 EPS and wouldn't get kicked see ya.

2013-04-03 22:14

ASES fanboy detected..

Not really. I'm only fan of NiP and im danish why should i fan those guys lol.

Read some if your comments in this news and u will find out..

2013-04-02 22:38

EYES ON U is a top30 :)

2013-04-03 00:08

Sad, hope they find a new home soon..

2013-04-02 20:43

2013-04-02 20:45

2013-04-02 20:51

2013-04-02 21:01

Too hard to keep together in mostly of spaniard teams, this scene smeels like a shit. It's obvious that this team will beat ASES easily the next tournaments cuz all of them are newbies :D menuda jeta sacas jodido guate.

2013-04-02 21:30

"It's obvious that this team will beat ASES easily the next tournaments cuz all of them are newbies :D!" Hope they don't really read you not even close to top3 eps.

English only please. Thank you.

2013-04-03 00:15

bad results in EPS...they should have done it before.

2013-04-02 21:40

2013-04-02 22:44

kAlAs crazy lan player

2013-04-02 21:44

They were unlucky with the brackets at CPH, so i think it´s a bit sad for them. It´s expensive to take these guys around the world, though. I guess that exclude some of the german organisations. Dunno about spanish/portugese organisations.

2013-04-02 21:52

Something I always wondered: is sukitRon's nick pronounced like suki-tron (like Voltron or Megatron) or suck it Ron? Anyways, good luck to the team; I'm sure you'll find a new organization soon.
