Planetkey Dynamics release team

1-4-2015 23:50

Planetkey Dynamics have decided against renewing the contracts of their CS:GO players, the German organisation has announced.

The decision comes as little surprise as the team had failed to reach the same heights of the previous Planetkey Dynamics squad, which won back-to-back EPS titles and also attended some international events, such as ESWC 2014 and DreamHack Winter that same year.

After losing four of their players, Planetkey Dynamics gave Dimitrios "⁠stavros⁠" Smoilis a vote of confidence by allowing him to start his own team from scratch alongside former /10/ team-mates Azmican "⁠asmo⁠" Berberoglu and Benjamin "⁠qk-Mantis⁠" Oberlein.


stavros & co out of Planetkey Dynamics 

In mid-February, Planetkey Dynamics made headlines when they recruited Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller, but that did not stop the team from continuing its downward spiral.

In the EPS Spring Cups, the team was twice eliminated in the first round and thrice knocked out in the quarter-finals, results that have now spelled the end of their journey in Planetkey Dynamics.

"An unsuccessful season in CS:GO comes to an end with us saying goodbye to the team led by Dimitrios "Stavros" Smoilis," said Planetkey Dynamics director Till Werdermann. 

"We wish the players the best of luck. Regarding what we will do for next season, that is still being discussed, but we will keep you up to date."

Planetkey Dynamics had the following team: 

Germany Dimitrios "⁠stavros⁠" Smoilis
Germany Azmican "⁠asmo⁠" Berberoglu
Germany Benjamin "⁠qk-Mantis⁠" Oberlein
Germany Felix "⁠fel1x⁠" Zech 
Denmark Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller

Germany Steffen "⁠ste⁠" Gronemann (backup)

no (i am part of pkd as their moviemaker) the players are all some experienced and well known guys in the scene and PKD realized that PENTA and mouz would fight for the title anyway, so they needed a team which could fight for the last 2 spots for the offline-finals and to be honest they should've qualified for the top8 easily ^^

Well, if you mean top 8 within German and not international than I could agree with you. The way I read the article is seem like they weren't happy that there wasn't like top 3
