500 announce Bulgarian roster
The ex-SKADE lineup has found a new home.
500, an organization sponsored by 500 Casino, has entered the Counter-Strike scene by signing a Bulgarian roster composed of former FATE and SKADE members. The team will be led by Nikolay "niki1" Pantaleev, who is joined by Ivan "Patrick" Ivanov, Aleks "Rainwaker" Petrov, Denislav "dennyslaw" Dimitrov, and Georgi "SHiPZ" Grigorov.
The Bulgarian roster, currently ranked No. 63 in the world, was previously playing under the ex-SKADE moniker and recently placed 9-16th in CCT South Europe Series 1 after a loss to Spirit.

The ex-SKADE trio of Rainwaker, dennyslaw, and SHiPZ played together for almost three years for the Norwegian organization, peaking at No. 17 in the world rankings. They did so in April of 2022, after winning Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 and Pinnacle Cup III, notably defeating Vitality. They then entered a period of stagnation, dropping down the rankings before getting released by the organization after they could not agree on contract extensions.

niki1 and Patrick played together in FATE in the lower reaches of the scene, the team rarely entering the top 100 in the last year and a half. The quintet now joins forces to try and put Bulgarian CS back on the map, as the nation struggled to put together a winning team in recent times.
500 are:
Georgi "SHiPZ" Grigorov
Denislav "dennyslaw" Dimitrov
Aleks "Rainwaker" Petrov
Ivan "Patrick" Ivanov
Nikolay "niki1" Pantaleev

Dan 'apEX' Madesclaire
Peter 'dupreeh' Rasmussen
