Aurora go official following RMR qualifier success

31-8-2022 16:54

The Russian-majority squad with Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk at their backs have gone official.

Aurora have officially announced their CS:GO squad, which retains the complete roster that qualified for the Europe Regional Major Ranking tournament through the open qualifier. The team is headed by in-game leader Artem "⁠RAiLWAY⁠" Gradovich, with Counter-Strike veteran starix as the coach and Evgeny "⁠bullet⁠" Batkin as the assistant coach.

The roster came together in early August, ahead of the first set of qualifiers for the Rio Major. Aurora earned a place at the Europe RMR in their first try by defeating top-five side Astralis in the round of 16, and reverse-sweeping BLUEJAYS in the quarter-finals to secure their spot.

starix will be sharing his experience with Aurora

The squad features several young talents such as Evgeny "⁠delus1onn⁠" Plottsov, who previously played for VP.Prodigy, and the former Spirit Academy star Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin. Mixed in with the youngsters is the more experienced Amin "⁠sugaR⁠" Azimov, who participated in the Europe RMR for the most recent Major in Antwerp.

Rounding out the team list is Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev, who is best known for his time in Entropiq. The 23-year-old found success in his yearlong stint with the team, in which Entropiq peaked at ninth place on the world ranking and even placed 9-11th at the PGL Major Stockholm.

Aurora are currently competing in the CCT Central Europe Series 1 against some well-known teams like Copenhagen Flames, FORZE, and MIBR. Their next match is on Friday, 19:00 , against 1win in the competition's round of 16.

The full squad is as follows:

Evgeny "⁠delus1onn⁠" Plottsov
Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin
Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev
Artem "⁠RAiLWAY⁠" Gradovich
Amin "⁠sugaR⁠" Azimov

Sergey "⁠starix⁠" Ischuk (coach)
Evgeny "⁠bullet⁠" Batkin (assistant coach)

beat top 5 and still get shit rank boost. HLTV either the number means something or the RMR means nothing. Aurora debut at 36 and los kogutos dont get a boost from beating so called #4. Apparently getting a top 4 means more than beating a top 4?

Because he has all the conditions there

2022-08-31 17:47

I honestly dont care about all that, just saying Ukrainians hate him because he lives in Russia and not because he works with Russian players

Understandable, have a nice one

2022-08-31 19:24

This is esports not politics man. He is probably also a simple "traitor" because he plays with two Russians, maybe he is also a wonderful "traitor"

Were they not official?

they were competing under aurora, but it's more of a thrown together team for the qualifiers than an established org now they've pretty much set the foundation

agree

Theyre jersey has the Nike logo on it. I guess you can't call yourself an official organization until you have sponsors

Doubt, delusional is lacking on experience and inconsistent awper. Maybe just like bne if they will get luck then yes

Bne was competing for a much longer time though and were a constant top 30 team, not just a new mix

2022-08-31 19:19

They will go 0-3 this Major :)

2022-08-31 19:44

Bne, aurora or both LMAO I also don t think either will qualify

2022-08-31 19:45

I think theres weaker teams than aurora, ecstatic for example

2022-08-31 19:51

Starix 🤡

2022-08-31 16:56

why?

2022-08-31 18:51

Calling Flusha a cheater and then getting caught in the coach bug scandal. Then joining the team that had multiple coaches who used the bug with players that most likely knew they were cheating. Cheater mentality.

2022-08-31 19:00

I forgot about it

2022-08-31 20:41

Ok but flusha cheated

2022-08-31 22:09

Why do teams like that even need one coach? But 2?

Another one is gym coach I suppose

In what reality do we even live? God, just watch 100 demos from top teams, play everyday 5-8 maps and you're good. For what hell you need all that extra staff
