iBUYPOWER pick up ex-Curse

The former Curse Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squad has been picked up by Team iBUYPOWER, a new eSports organization set up by the computer manufacturer.

The Americans had been without an organization and tagged as AnnouncementSoon, a name that started rumours about EG possibly returning to Counter-Strike after their tweet, since their exit from Denial eSports.

Now the squad, who recruited former Quantic Gaming in-game leader Sam "DaZeD" Marine after they were dropped by Curse a month ago, have been picked up by iBUYPOWER.


DaZeD's team becomes sponsored by iBUYPOWER 

iBUYPOWER is a computer manufacturer whose eSports sponsorships coordinator is former Gravitas, Turmoil and x3o player Derrick "impulsivE" Truong, who now jump into CS:GO.

The squad failed to qualify for both ESWC and MSI Beat it! due to being in the middle of finalizing their roster during both qualifiers. They currently compete in ESEA Invite Season 15.

iBUYPOWER:

United States Eric "adreN" Hoag
Canada Keven "AZK" Lariviere
United States Todd "anger" Williams
United States Sam "DaZeD" Marine
United States Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham

According to a quick interview with Truong on ESEA News, you can expect to see iBUYPOWER at international events later this year, which suggests the Americans might be traveling to DreamHack Winter next month.

You are right but it doesn't mean the Author is wrong either. He just omitted the DENIAL part because the team was more known as Curse, so people can relate to the news easier.

people wants the truth sir. Yes we know them much as curse but if you're Denial management, are you happy that you're not being recognize? Even for JUST giving a SMALL CREDIT for picking them up even for short time?

The story is not about recognizing past teams but about who's the new sponsor. Stop making a big deal out of nothing.

exactly. The 2nd newest sponsor of them was Denial. You the one who's making a big deal with my comment. And can't do anything to my opinion so better just read, and ignore.

They never even got the contracts from Denial. So they were never really signed under the org.
