Fiend release remaining roster

Despite a good run of form to end the year, the entire Bulgarian squad find themselves searching for new homes.

The United States-based organisation announced the news today via their Twitter account, mere weeks after putting IGL Kamen "⁠bubble⁠" Kostadinov and lurker Simeon "⁠dream3r⁠" Ganev up for transfer.

The Bulgarian squad had enjoyed a strong end to the year

The move comes as somewhat of a surprise after a successful year for the Bulgarian squad, who peaked at #17 in the HLTV.org world rankings after a fantastic run at IEM Fall which saw them just fall short of a spot at the PGL Major Stockholm. Not long after, they managed an impressive 3-4th place run at V4 Future Sports Festival with a stand-in in the form of Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov.

Since the team returned from the Hungarian event, bubble had been spotted competing alongside SKADE, whilst Fiend fielded former SKADE player Blagoi "⁠oxygeN⁠" Dimitrov at the KeyDrop cup.

It seems Fiend are not done with CS:GO in spite of this move, as the announcement stated "we will be back sooner than you think," suggesting they will look to put together another roster in the near future.

Then +jks or some other lurker to replace ropz when he inevitably leaves. And that's not even talking about dream3r or redstar, they're both very competent players in their own right(s), too
