kRYSTAL to play EPL and ECS with Rogue

Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend will play the two online leagues with Rogue as in-game leader, the 25-year-old has revealed.

After a stint as stand-in in Ghost, kRYSTAL was replaced by the young Jason "⁠neptune⁠" Tran, the 25-year-old proclaiming that he was trying to 'find a new home'.

kRYSTAL, at least for now, takes over as in-game leader in Rogue, as the spot was left vacant when former captain Casper "⁠cadiaN⁠" Møller decided to move back to his home country to play for North.

kRYSTAL has found his second North American home

The 25-year-old German has had a year riddled with team changes, as he started out in Sprout, moved on to Imperial and later started his North American adventure as a temporary player in Ghost. The lineup under Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan impressed with upsets at both ZOTAC Cup Masters and DreamHack Masters Stockholm where they beat OpTic and Natus Vincere, respectively.

ESL Pro League Season 8 beings today, meaning kRYSTAL's first game in Rogue will be their opener against Luminosity.

With Rogue completing their roster after cadiaN's departure, the lineup looks as follows:

United States Daniel "⁠vice⁠" Kim
United States Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin
United States Hunter "⁠SicK⁠" Mims
Australia Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland
Germany Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend

Maybe HLTV being helpful? Do you think Australian expats have PTSD when Australia is mentioned? Its like being raised in a war vs nature (giant spiders, snakes, kangaroos etc.) and then getting to live normal life.

Krystal was a cheater back in css. These kind of “players” dont deserve a 2nd chance. Krystal always find another and another decent team. Here is your actual content.
