BESTIA replace Luken with tomaszin

The 26-year-old is looking for a new home after four months with the Argentinian organization.

BESTIA have announced the signing of Tomas "⁠tomaszin⁠" Corna, who will replace Luca "⁠Luken⁠" Nadotti on their active roster. The move marks the first roster change in the organization since they entered CS with the signing of the ex-Isurus core in February.

The team have solidified their spot as the best in their country and are among the best in South America, with their recent win at CCT South America Series 7 a testament to that, but they have so far failed to make a breakthrough on the world stage. Their biggest chance came at the Paris Major Americas RMR, where their Major qualification campaign started well with a win against Nouns before close losses to Fluxo and MIBR condemned them to a 1-2 exit.

tomaszin makes the jump to the Argentine super team

New signing tomaszin is 19 years old and has just 84 maps recorded on HLTV, but his individual performances have done enough for BESTIA to gamble on the youngster. He previously played for Boca Juniors and represented the organization at several iterations of the CCT South America Series, with the team also winning the local Gamergy 2023 during his tenure. He averaged a 1.12 rating during 2023 and has now been tasked with replacing Luken as the team's lurker.

On the other side of the roster change, Luken departs the team after just four months. He was signed to the team as the only non-Isurus member in February and has been the team's highest-rated player with a 1.12 rating.

The 26-year-old has been one of the most successful Argentine players in CS:GO, having made history with 9z by attending the PGL Antwerp Major as the first Argentine at a Major alongside teammate Martin "⁠rox⁠" Molina.

BESTIA are making their debut with tomaszin against ex-Corinthians Academy in the $30,000 1XPLORE Latin America Cup 1.
