eLevate announces new lineup

3-7-2015 02:19

Following the disintegration of eLevate's previous lineup, the North American team announce a new lineup that will represent the organisation.

After a lackluster online season where eLevate failed to qualify for the ESL ESEA Pro League Season 1, CEVO-P Season 7, or the second stage of the FACEIT League, it became apparent that the team would be undergoing a retooling in the near future.

The first sign of this change occurred when Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen left the team in early June and was replaced by former Nihilum player Andrew "⁠Professor_Chaos⁠" Heintz. And earlier this week witnessed the departure of two more players from eLevate's roster, Daniel "⁠roca⁠" Gustaferri and William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba, in order to join Tempo Storm.

daps returns as the IGL of a new eLevate roster

eLevate has responded by retooling its roster, which will now appear as basically the same one the team used during the ESL One North American online qualifier:

David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido
Andrew "⁠Professor_Chaos⁠" Heintz
Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele
Steven "⁠rooRoooo⁠" Herrell
Adam "⁠aKis⁠" Kisseberth

This new eLevate lineup is almost entirely different—with the exception of Xp3—from the one which attended the FACEIT League 2015 Stage 1 finals, the last time the team was seen playing in international offline finals.

As no mention has been made of previous eLevate player, and longtime CS:GO veteran, Tyler "⁠Storm⁠" Wood, it remains to be seen where Storm's future lies.

stich, make an article about how Storm, the only active NA player that won a major tournament, has now retired. Volcano retired from the same team (eLevate) two seasons ago. He has won more and is even more historic. People seem to completely forget about them, no big deal was made

Thanks for clarifying. I don't follow the NA scene that much so, thank you.

Who this akis kid?

Storm retiring? Will be interesting to see the team with daps as IGL instead of XP3.

2015-07-03 02:26

Never heard of akid, but roooRoooo is actually pretty good. elevate got a bad deal with the players who left, but maybe akid is more than people expect.

Bot daps

no storm, no wins

2015-07-03 02:34

RIP Elevate, daps is in the team [*]

2015-07-03 02:37

rip storm? :(

2015-07-03 03:44

I'm glad to see rooRoooo get a chance on a Professional team. Akis used to play with him in years past back on their ESEA 1.6 / early CSGO teams, called "ESK". They were a good group of friends and did good together, so let's hope they can do it again, but with some different players.
