Courage unveil new team

Courage have formally unveiled their new CS:GO team for the upcoming SLTV StarSeries IX season.

Over the last couple of months, Courage have supported a number of quality CIS teams, the last of which was recently in action in the third CIS qualifier for EMS One Katowice.

None of those teams, however, were able to stand out, but that could be about to change very soon as Courage have put together a new squad that, on paper, seem capable of giving Na´Vi and the former Astana Dragons side a run for their money.


B1ad3 in new team

Joining Alexander "s1mple" Kostylev and Konstantin "Pr1zraK" Krivosheev, the only two players who continue from the last Courage team, are former KerchNET trio Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy, Roman "z1" Poltavchenko and Georgi "WorldEdit" Yaskin.

"I was inactive during the last two months, so when I was offered the chance to create a serious team for the new season, I said yes," Gorodenskiy told Starladder's website.

"This team looks very promising, and I think we have every chance against the strongest european sides."

Courage's lineup looks as follows:

Ukraine Alexander "s1mple" Kostylev
Ukraine Konstantin "Pr1zraK" Krivosheev
Ukraine Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy
Ukraine Roman "z1" Poltavchenko
Russia Georgi "WorldEdit" Yaskin

blade's strats are complex and players need time to adjust, much more time than usually. after that, they should be able to compete (it doesnt seem likely for anyone outside top3 to be able to be better than verygames tho)
