Club Brugge announce CS:GO roster

2-2-2021 22:41

The Belgian football club has extended its esports venture to Counter-Strike with the signing of Maestro.

Club Brugge have announced that they have entered Counter-Strike with the signing of the Maestro quintet, featuring the core of the Tenerife Titans team that won the ESL Proximus Championship Winter 2019, it was announced on Tuesday.

Steven "⁠Stev0se⁠" Rombaut, Robin "⁠simix⁠" Bynens and Richard "⁠ritchiEE⁠" Mestdagh, who also played together in teams like LowLandLions and Epsilon, are joined by Polish pair Mateusz "⁠matty⁠" Kołodziejczyk and Mateusz "⁠n0tice⁠" Wolniak in the squad. The former represented Izako Boars for almost two years between August 2017 and June 2019, while the latter most notably competed for Illuminar as a substitute in Betway Nine to Five 5 last year.

Club Brugge have added a CS:GO team to their esports division

Club Brugge add to an ever-growing list of football clubs involved in competitive Counter-Strike. Last week, Argentinian side Boca Juniors announced their own team, featuring former Furious duo Facundo "⁠minimal⁠" Pereyra and Eduardo "⁠laser⁠" Chshekin.

EC Brugge's debut match is scheduled for February 11 in the spring split of Elite Series Season 1, a €15,000 ($17,775) tournament series dedicated to developing Benelux teams.

The complete EC Brugge roster is:

Steven "⁠Stev0se⁠" Rombaut
Robin "⁠simix⁠" Bynens
Richard "⁠ritchiEE⁠" Mestdagh
Mateusz "⁠matty⁠" Kołodziejczyk
Mateusz "⁠n0tice⁠" Wolniak

I mean, sounds damn good but, at this point an impossibility. Keoz on LDLC I believe so, there’s one buyout. to1nou is an active free agent so that’s good. Other 3 are literally signed to huge t1 orgs in Val so. Yeh. davidp was benched but, I’m sure that buyout crazy. Good lineup though.

2021-02-03 03:16

only keoz still plays csgo lol

2021-02-03 05:31

Valorant team? Serious EDIT: Scream is under contract with Liquid, I don't think Club Brugge have enough money for their esport teams to buyout Scream.

2021-02-03 09:14

Even if they all were still playing and Club Brugge was able to buy them (out), it wouldn't work because all of those like Scream, Keoz, Davidp,... Are French speaking Belgians, while Stev0se and other Belgians from EC Brugge are Flemish or Dutch speaking. Let's just say that wouldn't work, both sides don't really like each other

2021-02-03 13:27

They are on Valorant now. Your comment looks irrelevant.

2021-02-03 13:44

that still doesn't prove how Portugal > Slovakia in terms of scene, FPX only has one Slovakian player so you still couldn't compare them.

2021-02-03 14:03

Ok we have a team in Top 21. Never ever there was a czech slovakian team getting so high. Only Extatus tried but got disbanded.

???? I mean, cool for the Belgian people i suppose, but wtf is that team. Brugge could easily pick up a T1 team lol.

Yeah i think they could but this team is just better in their opinion

2021-02-02 23:01

They are just experiencing the e-sports world mate. Why would they instantly buy a super team. if they really see potential in CSGO they will replace this whole team after a year or so. These guys are just the "tryouts" lol.

2021-02-02 23:07

Well. At least get a T3 team lol. This is T7

T10 u mean 😂😂

2021-02-03 08:51

Still better then y'all keyboard heroes

Nobody likes Amsterdam lol or Brussels, “Waarom vliegen de duiven omgekeerd over Brussel?” Yes I have and ur going to say that it’s just the same but I’d say that city planning is better as well as the infrastructure. Things look a lot less maintained in Belgium city’s. My uncle lives in a kind of suburb of Brugge and he doesn’t have access to a sewer and needs a septic tank.... I have lived in Baarle for a while and there is a clear difference even do its not a big city. (I’m taking about Flanders here I never come in Wallonia )

2021-02-03 10:44

Such an argument lol ^^ Anyway, Anderlecht >>>

2021-02-03 03:17

Why do🤔

You're ignoring the beauty of an old preserved town by talking about its outskirts... As the other said, you can do that for most beautiful cities Which club do you support ?

2021-02-03 16:07

It was a bait (obviously I though) I don’t even know Brugge football tbh. but NAC I guess cuz I’m from Breda and gets pretty wild after they win one match against literal nobody’s in the 3th leuage or whatever the club is in rn. enough shity looking 70s terraced houses and flats I can assure you. I lived in one, you don’t have to look)))) but you can’t judge a city just because of the city centre, sooo many city’s all over the world have very nice historic city centres but big problems outside. the rich often Live in the centre and they have money to maintain it very nicely. Amsterdam City centre Looks very nice but Amsterdammers are annoying and the rest of the city is ass tbh.

2021-02-03 16:21

I know what you mean with 70s architecture Can relate But everything isn't as shitty, even in Brussels where I live there's more than city centre, which is quite meh in that case comparing to close periphery Anyway, I prefer to grow weed in my garden than buying it in Amsterdam Have a good one <3

Bruges city center is epic and the sub urbs are clean with lots of green. Niet zeveren he kaaskoppie

2021-02-03 15:09

You mad?

2021-02-03 15:54

Bruges City is beautiful, like explained by others above ^ FC Bruges is the greatest in BE and has lots of potential in Europe too Can't say anything about the cs cuz yeah its T7 but still

2021-02-03 00:29

Should add d0cc and one more player then...

2021-02-03 10:09

lol brugge :D

What a waste, probably team made for fixing few officials & disband after 3 months :) these nationalities never ever gonna work together for something serious.

2021-02-02 22:57

Rich football club matchfixing... u ok?

Another guy which seems not understand simple things, players fixing not footbal club, club will not pay this team huge salaries for nothing. Do you even think they are half as good as standart t3 teams? They will disband cuz no trophies, no tournaments win and one more thing - matty and no fixing, yeah sure +D

Why would they fix if they have insane salaries?...

2021-02-02 23:30

Tier4 team =/= insane salaries bro

2021-02-03 14:13

Football club with surely some money to spend invests in tier 1000 talent, zzzz

Awful roster, wtf

2021-02-02 23:02

WHO?

belge xD

2021-02-02 23:12

Disband FC

Club Brugge is my favorite Belgian team, they have god Mignolet Hope this helps

There's hundreds of established pros with weight behind their name, and they sign this group? WTF

2021-02-02 23:19

Its what most sports teams do when they get into cs, Both river plate and boca juniors signed teams that arent even top 5 in SA, Real betis had a pretty crappy team too, Santos, SC braga, etc. Now when it comes to signing fifa players they go for the top players, which is a shitty esport with a significantly smaller fanbase. Can't say I understand,

I cant say they have a smaller fanbase at least here In Portugal the numbers are are insanely increasing, i could say, they will in this year or for the next year, overtake the numbers of cs here(the amount of streamers and youtubers helps), and it´s more cheap to pay for one guy than to 5 and a coach etc. And globaly speaking, the average viewership are actually pretty good and increasing even the game beein so trash....

2021-02-03 00:23

People enjoy watching someone wasting money on packs and playing ultimate team, you can't really call that esports, even tho yeah I guess the scene is growing in Portugal. Still I wish teams like Braga and Sporting invested as much as they do in Fifa into CS.

2021-02-03 00:31

Boavista have a esports club and the only game they have its LoL xDDDDDDD what a waste of money. They think fifa it´s the powerhouse in Portugal... What we(cs lovers) can say...

2021-02-03 00:34

probably for marketing they want a belgian team. too bad theres no good belgian team at all LOL

2021-02-02 23:52

Nice to see but who all of them

Football teams are always welcome, but couldn't they pick a worse roster? LOL Tier 88 at best.

2021-02-03 02:55

Nice good luck but i feel like this roster won't survive longer than 5 months as it usually is.

2021-02-03 02:57

WHO?????

2021-02-03 03:03

arent this a football team??

2021-02-03 03:13

Everyone crying about the fact they're recruiting a shit roster. Just remember those football club are pretty new to this esport world and don't want to rush it at the beginning, as some of you said, it's just a way to enter the scene and develop their expertise towards esport

2021-02-03 03:22

+1 welcome team

2021-02-03 05:23

+1 Finally, they get into a real e-sport and not only the fifa shit

2021-02-03 09:46

People seem to think that football clubs, especially in Belgium where they are sooo rich, want to buy big rosters in a field they don't really know yet... Let's be real, when Charleroi eSports happened there was barely any audience, so I can understand Belgian clubs want to be cautious. Does no one remember how well that worked for FC Copenhagen to spend big on North? And that's in a big CS country.

2021-02-03 10:39

Bruges is getting "rich" though Since they're doing fine in champions League for some years but yes, north is the best example of a Football club pouring huge loads of money into what was a good roster at the time but with dogshit management I went to Charleroi eSports and the organisation was pretty good for a first small event (except the intro lol) but the audience was indeed lacking even after they halved the price Btw which football club do you support in Belgium?

2021-02-03 16:13

Yeah Brugge is getting rich for a Belgian club but comparing to other clubs investing is esports their finances don't match. I've been supporting Standard since I'm a kid even if the last time I actually went to see a game was in 2003 iirc...

2021-02-05 11:24

Aïe, le grand standard de Liège hahah I'm supporting Anderlecht And I guess you read about North shutting their doors today Quite ironic

2021-02-03 07:57

You could ask North as well. Copenhagen pays a lot for a useless lineup. This orgs do it cuz they want in the market. Other things don't matter.

2021-02-03 08:05

They don't give a shit, they are advertising themselfs in a huge esport with 50k/month(maybe even less), its worth af since they pay millions when they buy football players.
