fm-eSports add Puls3, CRUC1AL

fm-eSports have confirmed the additions of Reece "Puls3" Marrs and Joey "CRUC1AL" Steusel to their CS:GO squad.

After a long period without a CS:GO team, fm-eSports returned to the scene in November with the acquisition of Choke Gaming's squad, who had finished 3rd-4th at the ESL UK Premiership finals.

The team's first appearance for fm-eSports was anything but successful, however, as they finished 7th-8th at i56, with reports suggesting that there had been tension in the squad even prior to the event.


CRUC1AL joins fm-eSports

The UK organisation have now announced that Mike "⁠Powell⁠" Powell and Joe "⁠Joee⁠" Leigh have both been released from their contracts, with the duo being replaced by Reece "⁠Puls3⁠" Marrs and Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel, who were last seen playing for EZSkins and Infused, respectively.

Meanwhile, it was announced that former mTw and Absolute Legends member Alexander "⁠rdl⁠" Redl has been brought in as a coach, almost two years after representing fm-eSports as a player for the last time.

"It feels great being back in eSports and CS:GO after having a break because of work," Redl said in a statement.

"I have been thinking about coaching for a while and when Darren / Yakkkkkk asked me it felt only natural I’d take the opportunity to try it out and see if I can make a difference with the FM guys.

"It’s been a new and exciting experience and it is a great feeling when you try and implement something and it works out. Hopefully I can get across as much knowledge possible from all the years spent playing the game on all different levels.

"I have great confidence that these guys can make a dent in the scene and eventually break through with the right tools at their disposal."

fm-eSports, who will compete in the first open qualifier for the European Minor Championship, now have:

United Kingdom Ian "⁠Immi⁠" Harding
United Kingdom Ben "⁠esio⁠" Doughty
United Kingdom Max "⁠MiGHTYMAX⁠" Heath
United Kingdom Reece "⁠Puls3⁠" Marrs
Netherlands Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel

Sweden Alexander "⁠rdl⁠" Redl (coach)

this team is worthless without Sliggy "And yet despite this, the team also benefit not only from having a solid financial backing, but also being supplied with a dedicated coach who also has a wealth of CS experience. Connor “Sliggy” Blomfield, talented player turned coach, backs the team when and where necessary. His input to the team is likely invaluable, and his presence will aid in every one of their successes."
