Limitless revamp lineup with MisteM, motm

14-8-2023 12:02

The former ATK duo link up once again.

MisteM reunites with his former teammate motm

Limitless have announced the signings of Gareth "⁠MisteM⁠" Ries, Ian "⁠motm⁠" Hardy and Xavier "⁠Locke⁠" Barth, bringing their roster back up to full strength for the first time since late May.

MisteM and motm are by far the most well-known names on the roster having both represented ATK, where they won ESL Pro League Conference earlier this year, and in motm’s case having briefly featured for the likes of Cloud9 and Extra Salt. They join Limitless having most recently represented ATK and Strife respectively.

Locke, the other new addition, is a less known quantity. The 19-year-old only registered his first HLTV-recorded match mid-way through 2022, and has garnered just over 80 maps of experience playing for Red Wolves and Zomblers in online events like ESL Challenger League, CCT events, and ESEA Cash Cups.

Limitless will be hoping their new signings can revitalize their fortunes, as the team were recently relegated from ESL Challenger League in last place and went on a 12-match losing streak over April and May.

The Limitless roster is:

Kamron "⁠kmrn⁠" Manii
Max "⁠Makzwell⁠" Sparrey
Xavier "⁠Locke⁠" Barth
Gareth "⁠MisteM⁠" Ries
Ian "⁠motm⁠" Hardy

Chris "⁠Jeebs⁠" DeSantis (coach)

How are we supposed to pronounce motm - man of the match, or “motuhm”?

2023-08-14 15:12

meme of the match

2023-08-15 00:09

It's weird to me that HLTV thought this was worth writing an article about, but Wildcard signing a good NA team was not.

Cause motm and mistem have been tobtier 1 events I guess. Wildcards a better team but to most people it’s just a bunch of no namers

Yeah, I guess so. No hate to Limitless though, I hope they go far.

They’re solid, but having both kmrn and makzwell is probably gonna hold them back. Also wasn’t kmrn igl?

2023-08-14 20:39

I'm not sure, but I will say that kmrn was on the roster back when stamina was the IGL.

he was? did makzwell replace stamina then?

2023-08-14 22:10

No, but I'm not sure on the timing of the replacements: liquipedia.net/counterstrike/ESEA/Season.. liquipedia.net/counterstrike/ESEA/Season..

This team confuses me. They dropped Grizz and JBa, 2 of the best upcoming talents, and kept Makzwell, despite bringing in a new IGL

2023-08-14 20:04

Didnt drop Grizz or JBa, they got opportunities they simply couldnt say no to.

2023-08-14 20:34

Idk about Grizz, but they definitely dropped JBa. He was posting about looking for a team for like a month or two

2023-08-15 10:45

Grizz intended to stay but PA offered him and its hard to say no to that. JBa explored his options after we got relegated- we all wouldve loved to keep him but getting an offer where hes surrounded by veterans is too good of an opportunity to pass up.

2023-08-15 23:23

Ah ok, ig I misinterpreted his tweets. Thanks for the inside scoop :)

2023-08-16 11:15

They obviously didn’t drop them. They chose to leave for a better team…

2023-08-14 21:26

Let’s go!!! Been following Locke forever my favorite player good luck good luck

sick move

2023-08-14 22:38

Hopefully NA can revitalize Tier 2 in the region. It's definitely interesting to watch some Tier 2 matches to see who is the next up and coming player that should get a chance to play in Tier 1. It's also a good filler for when there's a break in between Tier 1 events.

2023-08-15 00:14

we like to shit on NA scene because memes, but not having a healthy NA would be a blow to CS

2023-08-15 09:10

To be fair, NA has been a joke for so long - I personally don't take any offense when people shit on NA as a whole. In all honesty, despite NA being a meme, there are some decent Tier 2 and Tier 1 teams in our region. They are few and far in between, but some of them actually make an effort to try and "represent" our region.
