Wind and Rain release roster

9-8-2018 13:50

The UK organisation Wind and Rain has let go of its CS:GO team, it has announced.

The squad, under the leadership of coach Neil "⁠nEiLZiNHo⁠" Finlay, had been a part of Wind and Rain since February, formerly going under the name Stifmeister.

Shortly after the pickup, the team reached their peak on the HLTV.org rankings at #63, but have since managed mixed results, ending up at #84 before being released.

nEiLZiNHo and co. are no longer with Wind and Rain

While the squad had impressed with a win in ESEA Main Season 26 prior to their signing, they didn't manage to continue the form in their ESEA MDL debut, where they ended up in 20th place, the same placement they would achieve in the following tournament, ESEA MDL Season 28, where they were facing relegation.

The release means the following players are now without an organisation to represent:

United Kingdom Aaron "⁠frei⁠" Frei
United Kingdom Tom "⁠jenko⁠" Jenkinson
United Kingdom Sam "⁠Astroo⁠" Gresham
United Kingdom Travis "⁠L1NK⁠" Mendoza
Sweden Jonas "⁠hemzk9⁠" Rantamäki

United Kingdom Neil "⁠nEiLZiNHo⁠" Finlay (coach)
