RaZ officially joins Winterfox

10-2-2017 07:11

Winterfox officially confirms the addition of former Parallax member, Razmik "RaZ" Bastadjan to the active lineup, replacing Christopher "dexter" Nong.

After countless leaks, hints and teasing from the players and the North American organisation for the past few months, Winterfox has finally announced on Twitter their fifth player from New Zealand, Razmik "⁠RaZ⁠" Bastadjan. 

Since leaving Parallax in December, RaZ will reunite with Chris "⁠ofnu⁠" Hanley and Mike "⁠ap0c⁠" Aliferis again, who he competed with at FACEIT Stage 3 Finals at DreamHack Winter 2015 during their time in Legacy, the third Oceanic team to debut overseas in CS:GO.


Expectations are high for RaZ to perform 

Winterfox took home $10.5k following a 10th place finish in the previous season in the NA division of ESL Pro League, allowing the team to dodge relegation. The new lineup is currently 0-2 in EPL Season 5 after being defeated by CLG today in their debut match with the new AWPer.

With the majority of players being NZ-based, Winterfox's roster now consists of:

New Zealand Ryan "⁠zewsy⁠" Palmer
New Zealand Chris "⁠ofnu⁠" Hanley
New Zealand Razmik "⁠RaZ⁠" Bastadjan
Australia Mike "⁠ap0c⁠" Aliferis
Australia Chris "⁠emagine⁠" Rowlands

true but still, its not like TaZ was bad or the reason because they lost. He is still really good actually.
