MusambaN1's eu4ia join Giants

12-4-2017 17:00

The team headed by Jonathan "MusambaN1" Torrent, who played under the eu4ia tag up until now, has been acquired by the Spanish organization Giants.

Giants, an organization which was born with Counter-Strike but has lately shifted its attention towards Spain's most popular game, League of Legends, will once again field a CS roster five years after its last attempt at holding a CS team.

The former gBots player, TorPe, will also be part of Giants

Jonathan "⁠MusambaN1⁠" Torrent and Rubén "⁠TorPe⁠" Jesús Gómez Rodríguez—Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas and Christian "⁠loWel⁠" Garcia Antoran's teammate in gBots—, have already donned the Giants jersey in 1.6 and Source, respectively.

Joining them this time will be three youngsters, Javier "⁠Vasili⁠" Huélamo Gracia, Iván "⁠NaOw⁠" González, and one of the newcomers that has turned most heads in Spain lately, Raúl "⁠DeathZz⁠" Jordán Nieto.

"Today is a great day for me and my teammates, to have the opportunity of signing with the best club in our country [...] A new stage begins in which we will have to work harder than ever to show this team has what it takes to meet our goals despite the responsibility bearing the Giants banner supposes."

- Jonathan "MusambaN1" Torrent

"I'm back in an old house and a future home. I want to thank Giants for this opportunity, as far as our fans go, I want to say we'll work hard not to disappoint anyone."

- Rubén "TorPe" Gómez Rodríguez

Giants will be present in Spain's ESL Masters league, which has a $22,100 prize pool and is due to kick off next week, after having made it through one of the four qualifiers last month.

Giants's lineup is currently:

Jonathan "⁠MusambaN1⁠" Torrent
Rubén "⁠TorPe⁠" Jesús Gómez Rodríguez
Raúl "⁠DeathZz⁠" Jordán Nieto
Javier "⁠Vasili⁠" Huélamo Gracia
Iván "⁠NaOw⁠" González

Ovidio "OvaX" Gómez (coach)

He is been around since almost the beginning of csgo, but playin for lowkey teams mostly except in 2014 when he was competing in EU leagues against the best at that time. With lowel, kairi, flipin, meison, alex and mixwell (wizards/overgaming/x6tence days).

I have no idea why the best spanish player's don't get together instead of all this every single time. They swap so much it's insane.

Thats not a swap just they got signed by a different club

2017-04-12 18:49

Well my mistake. :) Must admit i didn't read it all i'm just tired of seeing a scene not getting together the same with NA. We can't have it all i guess.

They think they are better than they are, when they lose the other team is "unknown onliner" or "bad luck" Some people wants money rather than a good team with a future, others wants to play with friends The problem is attitude, they need to train more, they are not good enough, no more bad luck, no more "unknown onliner", work work work and still working until it works

Yea but you can't get the ''big'' money before you have a good team and even when you work hard to get a good team you'll still need to keep working so i totally agree with it's just sad to see to be honest ..

x6tence has the big money due to third parties and a big fanbase, some players wanted the money before making a good team, they have money on the present but they dont look like a good team. You need money to live so...

2017-04-13 21:17

Yea but you need to proofe uself as a team before you can expect getting a big salary that's my mindset i must admit.

2017-04-13 21:19

A guy invest on x6 (68.8k followers) big money, its more a business investment, for the brand not the players IMHO

That's just taking the focus away from the game lawl.

2017-04-13 21:46

Yes, sad but true. flipin1 is playing for x6tence, is his fanbase, but he had more followers for the stream, so team brand and personal brand > ingame level

2017-04-13 22:49

-> That's like seeing shroud. He isn't bad but could be better if he wasn't streaming so much + the SG/AUG meta he is doing wtf. -.-'

2017-04-13 22:56

flipin1 is bad and old but a funny streamer for somepeople, he get fanbase, fanbase = money

2017-04-14 00:13

0_o Musamban1 needs money...good luck.

2017-04-12 17:58

vasili!!!!

2017-04-12 18:00

I think x6tence and kelokee are better teams atm, but, Giants can improve.

2017-04-12 18:05

Good luck guys! By the way, what happened with Aguila?

2017-04-12 18:09
