PENTA announce full roster

9-3-2017 17:00

Shortly after Kevin "kRYSTAL" Amend confirmed he would remain with PENTA last week, the German organization has confirmed the last three players to fill its roster. On top of the signing of these new players, it is confirmed that Stefan "stfN" Seier will finally not be one of them.

Joining Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend and Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi will be several players that have been seen trying out for the German organization in the recent weeks and months. The two first players to sign contracts with PENTA last week were Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek and Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn.

zehN will have a chance to find a home in PENTA

The last player to make his signing official, putting ink on paper earlier this week, was Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala. The Finnish player was last seen competing at LanTrek 2017 last weekend with suNny in the ajuri mix that got third place behind iGame.com and ENCORE.

With these three players joining kRYSTAL and suNny, the German organization and Stefan "⁠stfN⁠" Seier have parted ways due to the player not being able to go full-time. The team's management and the recently acquired players have released the following statements:

"It is a long time ago since PENTA Sports had a full five players lineup. We are sorry for all our fans who had to wait a lot for this new lineup. After some time of testing we have built the best possible lineup for 2017. Sadly we have to part ways with stfN because he cannot take the opportunity to play CSGO fulltime. We want to thank stfN for his effort over the last months and wish him all the best for his future. With innocent, hs and zehN we have not only picked up three very skilled players, we are also sure about having the right fit in our team. We are looking forward to a great future with the team and will try to support our players in the best possible way."
– PENTA Management

"After a long time of searching a proper team for me, I am happy to join PENTA. What convinced me the most is the work ethic of the players and their serious approach towards the game, and how things are organised within PENTA. Finally I will be able to fulfil a role that I am comfortable with and hopefully I will use this opportunity to shine again." – Pawel 'innocent' Mocek

"I'm happy to say that I will be getting the chance to play for PENTA. Ever since leaving Rogue I've been waiting to play for another international lineup. This lineup is exactly what I wanted, I trust in my new teammates and it feels really good to play together and I feel like we have a bright future ahead. I'm going to give my very best and make sure that this opportunity is not wasted." – Kevin 'HS' Tarn

"At the start I was a bit surprised that suNny from PENTA asked me to play in the ECS qualifiers, and after a good run I felt really good playing against good teams again. A few weeks later I got contacted from PENTA Sports and asked if I wanted to join the new lineup. It made me really happy and pushed my motivation to get such a great opportunity which only very few players from Finland have gotten before. I promise to work hard on myself to become the best I can be with the help of my new awesome teammates!" – Jesse 'zehN' Linjala

With these three new additions, PENTA’s lineup now looks as follows:

Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend
Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi
Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn
Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek
Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala

finally lol

Why are you so desperate proving how retarded NA people are? People like you is why EU people laugh at NA people

2017-03-09 17:33

how is comparing quality of cs players controlled by population of cs players by country retarded?

Having a lot of players doesn't make them good

2017-03-09 18:14

Because in cs it's different, numbers and stupid stats are not relevant , and this applies to regions too, India and China are not even close to be tier 3 in the international scene. and between after coL with Swag and before Liquid with s1mple , N.A was not competitive internationally at all in U.S you give too much importance to stats good bait tho rivi

2017-03-10 10:10

>India and China are not even close to be tier 3 in the international sceneIndia and China are not even close to be tier 3 in the international scene because they dont have a large number of cs players

2017-03-10 16:07

Ladies and gentlemen you heard it from your standard na kid, you can't have a good team if not many people play counter strike in your country *clapping intensifies*

2017-03-11 10:47

still country with 6 million people produces better players than NA with population of 580 million.

What about player density? Maybe more people play CSGO in EU than NA. And it doesn't help that top NA teams or even lower tier NA teams are recycling the same players that don't work time after time. The only up and coming talent they sign are mad fraggers. Sign some IGLs how about

2017-03-10 08:45

Dude the NA scene is still pathetic, you basically have no tier 2 and your tier 1 is on the level of our tier 1 Just look at the difference between the level of our Premeir team and yours LMAO

This team has potential to hang around top tier3 and sometimes break into tier2 territory. I am sure these guys can beat teams like Hellraiser, Flipside, whole NA scene (exc C9 and liquid), and even mousesports and BIG.

Is Penta a PUG Team now?

Where are german players? Btw who is best german player? OMG this country so big, lots of ppl playing csgo and still they are so bad. Cant think of why is this happen.

2017-03-09 17:17

the best german player is tabsen or nex, keev is overrated, krystal didn't competed on a high level the last months...the problem of our scene is that no team is playing together more than a year because of internal issues, it's not like kinguin or VP in Poland, every player is trying to be the bet, that isn't even bad but to play with 5 mad fraggers won't win you every match, basically germany can't build a real promising lineup with every role after penta 2015, maybe BIG can finally get back into it but i'm not as convinced as other germans are

2017-03-09 20:22

but there are not even any talents or so it seems

2017-03-09 21:19

look at the old divizon, there were like atleast 3 unknown talents and if they wouldn't split up after 1 month there would be a high chance to become a tier 2-3 team

GL innocent this team needs a glue

Bad.

2017-03-09 17:20

New and improved Penta!

So ez for Sunny, Zehn and HS, can't wait to see them play

Its basically like cheap FaZe :D but yea, gl to them :)

maybe jkaem and ropz have good relationship now, might be him joining?

2017-03-09 18:45

Yeah, I've seen many talking about that ropz dude as well. He looks like a decent player.

2017-03-10 01:20

well, he tweeted yesterday saying that he is going to finish his high school (in Estonia, we have 3 years of high school and after that its university) and he is atm on his 1st year. Its good decision by him but that basically rules out this option :/

2017-03-09 19:40

Zehn doesn't have a problem playing fulltime, he only has a problem with living in a team house which Penta most likely aren't going to get.
