BLUEJAYS sign Bulgarian roster featuring blocker, dream3r

The former Windigo player Yanko "⁠blocker⁠" Panov will play alongside Simeon "⁠dream3r⁠" Ganev in a new Bulgarian squad under the BLUEJAYS banner.

blocker and dream3r have last been seen playing with Skin Ogres in the LEGENDS.BET L33T cup, but didn't have much success with the domestic squad. Now, they have linked up with three new players and created BLUEJAYS.

blocker's last notable result came at Moche XL Esports in June of 2019 as he won the $75,000 tournament with Windigo. The 22-year-old was also a part of the WESG 2018 World Finals winning lineup, but ended on the bench of the team in July as they looked to trial international players. He returned to the team in a trial capacity for a short period before the organization announced it would cease operations in October.

The 23-year-old dream3r is most known for his time in teams such as GPlay and E-frag.net, but a VAC ban on his account that dates back to 2014 hindered his chances as a professional player early on in CS:GO. Finalizing the team are three less-known Bulgarian players from which the 18-year-old Hristiyan "⁠REDSTAR⁠" Pironkov stands out with a 1.12 rating in 2019.

blocker gave a short statement to HLTV.org about the signing, noting that the goal of the team is to reach top30 this year:

"I'm very happy to join our new home BLUEJAYS, we are very motivated and are grinding hard to reach our expectations which are qualifying for LAN events, playing many online leagues, and most important staying hungry and working hard to get into the top 30 by the end of the year" - blocker

BLUEJAYS are now:

Yanko "⁠blocker⁠" Panov
Simeon "⁠dream3r⁠" Ganev
Hristiyan "⁠REDSTAR⁠" Pironkov
Ivan "⁠Patrick⁠" Ivanov
Rumen "⁠numb⁠" Dimitrov
