Volcano joins eLevate

12-11-2014 10:49

Team eLevate have announced that they have secured the services of The Stream Team's Sal "Volcano" Garozzo for future events.

eLevate had been on the lookout for a new fifth player following the departure of Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen, who joined iBUYPOWER as a stand-in for DreamHack Winter later this month.

After analysing their options, the team decided to recruit North American veteran Salvatore "⁠Volcano⁠" Garozzo as they prepare for the ESEA Finals next month and for MLG X Games Aspen, in late January.

Volcano joins eleVate

The news will further raise questions about the future of The Stream Team, who had already witnessed the departure of Todd "⁠anger⁠" Williams to Denial earlier in the week.

eLevate now have:

Matt "⁠Warden⁠" Dickens
Tyler "⁠Storm⁠" Wood
David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Salvatore "⁠Volcano⁠" Garozzo

nice

Isn't Shaguar a millionaire pro poker player now?

2014-11-12 16:38

exactly, that's why he could afford to play all day

2014-11-13 06:14

Maybe we'll get another documentary. Maybe a little more positive this time.

2014-11-13 06:21

WHAT

oldschool lineup

2014-11-12 11:39

No future

2014-11-12 11:43

gl but not news worthy imo ;p

2014-11-12 12:18

well rip TST, I hope adreN also joins a team

2014-11-12 12:19

It's cool to see these old players coming back, but sometimes I really think, did they still not achieve anything more useful then playing a video game full time?

2014-11-12 12:31

Given how the NA scene is currently, they probably play just for fun and not full time.

2014-11-12 12:57

This is the case for most teams outside c9 and ibp, besides the always present nerdgins.

2014-11-12 23:08

volcano has some sort of full time job in the tech industry, hes also married/engaged to sapphire, who i believe was playing with her girl cs team at eswc.

2014-11-12 18:27

rip TST

lol, the old Volcano? He was a really great player back in the days. GL

2014-11-12 12:36

Volcano do a remake of tuscan plspls gl

2014-11-12 12:39

Do you expect everyone to keep up with the NA scene?

2014-11-12 18:22

6 replies

If you've even been around the scene for more than 5 minutes, you wouldn't have to. Team3D weren't exactly unknowns.

2014-11-12 19:11

Team3D might be known to you but it is unknown to me.. And yes, I am following GO scene for about 7 months now..

2014-11-12 19:18

That's their point, ANYONE who has been around since 1.6 would know who Volcano and Team3D were. Not shooting you down here, just most people here would give you a lot of shit for not knowing him.

2014-11-12 19:27

Oh ok... I did not follow 1.6 scene so you can understand... Sorry for being noob here.. :)

2014-11-12 19:30

It's cool, I know a lot of new players came in with CSGO(which isn't at all a bad thing). :)

2014-11-12 19:58

2014-11-12 20:53

"Team 3D | Volcano" boy... you will find that in the cs bible

2014-11-12 20:11

funny, so he has time to play CSGO, but tuscan is still somewhere around 2020?!

2014-11-12 13:59

You are mistaking Volcano for Brutes bro

2014-11-12 14:15

oh ty man! :D

2014-11-12 14:17

2014-11-12 14:27

They can't have sunman... he plays with me :)

2014-11-12 15:46

2014-11-12 14:29

You know the NA scene is deaded, when you don't have any other option than bringing back 40yr old vets into your team. Who's next ? frod ?

2014-11-12 14:55

He's 27.

2014-11-12 16:47

Love Volcano.

2014-11-12 15:40

Sal is a great guy. Go watch his stream.

2014-11-12 15:43

Great pickup for eLevate. With all the LAN experience on this roster and RUSH's nasty fragging ability this team is going to be a handful.

2014-11-12 15:48

sadly this team will get raped but gl

2014-11-12 16:52

Sooo old school! Need fRoD
