Zeus completes Gambit roster

12-10-2016 14:26

Gambit Gaming have announced on their website the signing of veteran Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko from Natus Vincere.

Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko has signed a contract with Gambit valid until the end of 2017 after the organisation struck a deal with Natus Vincere for the 29-year-old's transfer.

The Ukrainian veteran had been assessing his options after being left out of Na`Vi's starting lineup following the arrival of Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev.

He will take over as Gambit's new captain and ingame leader, replacing Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov, who was released at the start of the month after being part of the team since the start of the year.

Zeus joins Gambit after seven years with Na`Vi

With this move, Zeus ends a longtime association with Natus Vincere, a team he created in 2009 along with four other talented Ukrainian players and that would dominate the Counter-Strike scene in the following year, when it won the biggest international tournaments.

Zeus and Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov, who has also signed for Gambit, will make their first offline appearance for the new team in two weeks' time at ESWC 2016, which will have $75,000 on offer.

Gambit's lineup now consists of:

Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov
Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev
Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov
Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov
Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko

Volodya and Zeus in Gambit gaming go to win next major ))

2016-10-12 14:47

Volodya, Zeus, Dosia, Gambit and AdreN all together. No way they can't lose, the power of memes is just too high. Gambit will be the greatest team ever seen, a team to surpass 2015 fnatic.

2016-10-12 15:05

Old news

GOD ZEUS

This lineup have potential to fight their way to the major, but I highly doubt that they can make it out of groups.

They are directly to the major dood

Gambit is number 1team in South africa

Really good signing for Gambit, wp!

All this needs now is gambit to hellraisors

why would they switch from gabit to shitraisers? pretty sure they earn more from staying in gambit than joing tier 100 esports organtisation overall

2016-10-12 14:38

Stickers. Hellraisers > Gambit when it comes to stickers but overall Im pretty sure Gambit as org is better.

2016-10-12 16:44

I think he has ukrainian name 'Danylo' in his ID card, so get rekt son

2016-10-12 16:19

2016-10-12 22:19

When HR had smike, they were worse than f3, but now with deadfox they are not even CIS. Your list sucks.

2016-10-12 17:06

2016-10-12 23:04

Pretty expected

BEST CIS TEAM nuck favi with 2toxic players

Very scary team !

TSELENKO!

GOD taser

zeus he is burning

expected but gl (btw zeus will return to major again xd)

DAVAYE ZEUS !!!

Should be one of the best challenger teams. Really nice.

challenger team?

Bruh they're back to back Legends..

2016-10-12 15:16

There's three hundred tournaments a year, and only three majors. They will be challenging for placements in those three hundred other tournaments.

2016-10-12 18:14

When people say "Challenger", they refer to majors, so calling them Challengers makes no sense regardless of the "300 other tournaments" that you claim exist lol.

2016-10-12 19:01

davay davay rash b cyka blyattttt

russian bee

2016-10-12 21:27

gl Zeus

it was the best team to join atm but we just hope he does the Ingame Leading since he's the best at it!

It was main reason why they signed Zeus. Ofc he will be IGL.

Thats exactly why hes there, he is the official team captain and igl for this team.

2016-10-12 14:37

top5 incoming

2016-10-12 14:31

Wow EZ4CIS

GOD

Alrighty, lets GO! Hope everything internally works out well and Dosia, hobbit and zeus get along well as well and if they can all find the same language and share mentality and be happy with each other then this would be a very interesting 5-man to watch! Pls NO to disaster! Glhf

Major final: gambit vs. NaVi

Navi get rekt, cause zeus know everything about how they play.

2016-10-12 16:30

fuck yea zeuz

LETS GO!

2016-10-12 14:35

Now Spaze for Dosia and Gambit could do something :-)

here we go expected

btw why Dosia with russian flag ?

Because he is Russian???

nobody on HLTV arent think that

2016-10-12 14:52

Last time i saw him playing for Kazakhstan. Pls do not troll.

2016-10-12 15:00

GL. Can someone please tell more about HObbit. Sick gamer y/n?

he is sick as fuck. insane aim :) fast and accurate like a robot

2016-10-12 15:02

Nice to know. They need him to be a good aimer for this team to have potential. Can he play 2nd awp or is he pure rifler? Gambit might be actually a cool team to watch now.

2016-10-12 15:06

nope, pure sickest rifler. im pretty sure adren and hobbit would carry them. the problem will be with consistency of mou and Dosia. but now they can really surprise everyone imo fuck, i wanna see them and navi in playoffs or group stage on major. gonnabgud

2016-10-12 15:32

I dont agree with hobbit playing. Dosia has been shite for months too

2016-10-12 16:12

zeus raging because of dosia will be epic to watch... gl!!

2016-10-12 16:14

GL Zeus IGL DIRECTLY HF

2016-10-12 16:21

This should work out well. I don't know anything about Hobbit, but if he doesn't work out I'm sure they can get someone from Hell Raisers who seem to be on a downward spiral.

2016-10-12 16:24

gl guys, good roster, i like it

2016-10-12 18:07

This lineup can actually go places. I'm abit torn on the pickup of HObbitt, but my best guess would be they are as well (since they only rented him instead of buying him out). It will be interesting - if HObbitt can deliver, this could be sick. And congratulations Zeus!
