ex-Fenix signed by Method

11-5-2015 19:15

The former FenixGG team, who have been playing under the name Paradox in CEVO-P Season 7 and the ESEA ESL Pro League, have been signed by Method.

The Paradox squad announced that they had left their previous organisation FenixGG (where they were also sometimes known as Fenix Fire) on the first of May, and immediately declared that they were looking for new sponsors ahead of upcoming seasons of CEVO and the ESL ESEA Pro League.

With the team continuing to make a strong account of themselves in both leagues, their promise caught the eye of Method, an organisation whose genesis as a World of Warcraft guild has evolved to see them investing in other games such as Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm.

The organisation has decided to now dip its toes into CS:GO waters with the news that it has officially signed the Paradox team with immediate effect. In a statement on the organisation's website, Paradox player Zachary "⁠Eley⁠" Stauffer wrote:

"The team and I are very excited to announce joining the Method family. Being the first CS:GO team to represent this amazing organization is a special opporunity and we will work hard to meet and exceed expectations. I would like to thank everyone who has supported us thus far and continue to support us. We have finally found a home and now can just focus on becoming the best team we can be. Expect big things from Method CS:GO!"

Adding to that statement, Samuel "⁠SileNt⁠" Portillo had this to say:

"We are extremely happy to announce that we will be joining Method. After many many meetings, our team overall felt very confident that Method is the best option for our team. Now with the full support of Method we can put all our time and focus on becoming a top team."

Method's CS:GO line-up is now:

Samuel "⁠SileNt⁠" Portillo
Justin "⁠just9n⁠" Ortiz
Connor "⁠streboR⁠" Roberts
Zachary "⁠Eley⁠" Stauffer
Michael "⁠MAiNLiNE⁠" Jaber
Alan "Hotted" Widmann (manager)

What's up with the WoW orgs getting into CS xD

money my friend

These are marketing orgs not wow org

2015-05-11 20:59

SK used to sponsor a top raiding guild as well, do you consider SK a WoW org? It's really just about where the breakthrough happens and what orgs stick with what games.

2015-05-12 15:12

A professional WoW player as a CS:GO team manager.. There's a chance for everything lol

2015-05-11 19:25

Wait, Hotted is from where again? I thought he was American. Not that I've seen him really that much and all, but I've caught him a couple of times on SodaPoppin's stream.

That flag is Venezuela's

2015-05-11 23:44

Figured it out a while ago but thanks nevertheless. Still surprised he's not from the US.

2015-05-11 19:29

not a shuffle retard. na shuffle = roster changes

2015-05-11 19:32

orga change also do the thing imo, but well if you say so. There wasn't need to call me retard tho. Kinda explains why this community is so fucked up.

Internet badasses don't play by the rules.

2015-05-11 21:58

I often forget about it :[

2015-05-11 22:24

except they aren't no-named, got 7 rounds against fnatic on inferno, 5 on 5 side, not good but better than most teams. They beat Torqued in a bo3, and lost against clg 16-14 and 16-14 in bo3. They are capable of beating any UK team

2015-05-11 22:11

5 replies

beating any uk team isn't exactly an accomplishment, nor is 7 rounds from fnatic during a period where a lot of teams were getting high rounds or even beating them. and any results against other NA teams are irrelevant since NA is renowned for any team being able to upset any other team.

2015-05-11 23:29

beating any UK team is NOT an accomplishment, I'm glad we got that settled... as you're trying to talk trash about american teams. ha! [*]

2015-05-12 01:12

??? that's what i said. it isn't an accomplishment. what's your point?

2015-05-12 02:40

so just because UK hasn´t got a scene,they aren´t allowed to dicuss about NA teams?. nice logic m8 welcome too democracy.

2015-05-12 17:02

? he's not discussing, he's calling method a no name team. They just tied elevate 1-1 in a cevo match and beat ace gaming 2-0 (mix pug of experienced players). So yeah I do find it funny that he's talking trash about a " no name " team.... The fact that you use words like m8, are you a fucking trollololol. ffs. So yeah expect to get flamed when you speak on something you don't know shit about.
