szejn leaves Project G; ztr, Lekr0 join*

6-11-2023 12:37

A raft of changes have taken place in the newly formed international project in the last week.

szejn leaves the team to pursue other options

Update (13:23 ): HLTV have received clarification that Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson has not committed to Project G long-term, but will play with the team for their upcoming matches.

ztr remains part of the GODSENT organization, having joined on loan from Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Project G have announced that Hubert "⁠szejn⁠" Światły has left the squad to pursue other options, whilst also announcing the additions of ztr and Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson.

The news follows the recent announcement that David "⁠dav1g⁠" Granado Bermudo was stepping down from the team, with HLTV.org reporting that the Spaniard is returning to Movistar Riders to replace Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet, who joined Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Sources: dav1g to return to Riders' active roster as IGL

szejn only played a handful of matches for Project G, with those coming during a successful run through the CCT East Europe Series 4 closed qualifier. At the start of the month, the young Pole featured for PACT in a Polish Esport League match alongside the likes of Grzegorz "⁠SZPERO⁠" Dziamałek and Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek.

To fill out their roster, Project G have turned to two Swedes, namely ztr and Lekr0. ztr was benched by GODSENT in October, whilst Lekr0, who is known for stints on fnatic and Ninjas in Pyjamas earlier in his career, most recently featured for European mix-team Wu-Tang.

Project G are now:

Yasin "⁠xfl0ud⁠" Koç
Nikola "⁠Dragon⁠" Boskovic
Łukasz "⁠mwlky⁠" Pachucki
Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson
Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson

three IGL's now? wtf

I doubt xfl0ud's ability to IGL. HLTV article said dav1g was IGL until now: hltv.org/news/37419/sources-dav1g-to-ret.. "dav1g only played the CCT East Europe Series 4 Closed Qualifier with Project G, the mix-team he helped put together while on Riders' bench, but was crucial in the team qualifying for the main event, not only as the team's in-game leader but also by averaging a 1.21 rating across ten maps."

this is correct; he was brought on as a replacement for h4rr3 in Dig so he took over the IGL there

2023-11-06 18:47

I see. I learn something new every day.

2023-11-06 19:12

+1, I didn't know that either

2023-11-06 22:26

lmao no? xizt igled NiP for the whole team he was there. and to quote Lekro's twitter here. "I want to announce that I'm a free agent IGL or Lurker[...]" because yes he indeed IGLed Dignitas and NiP XD

2023-11-06 18:45

It will probably be ZTR main caller, lekr0 rifler/second caller, lekr0 isnt a full igl, if you see his time at fnatic he excelled with golden since he has some trouble calling by himself, but with the proper igl he has some insane midrounds, he is like stewie2k but not toxic

2023-11-07 00:31

best on how long it'll take for ztr to get benched again?

2023-11-06 14:38

I mean that line-up is bound to fail so ig not too long

project tier 3

that's fine - they will work their way up. They transcended faceit level 10 and small ESEA tournaments, which is already a rare achievement. Most aspiring CS players dont end up making it out of lvl10, so even tier3 is an amazing accomplishment
