Ghost return to CS with women's roster
Nearly six years after their last appearance in CS, Ghost are back.
Ghost have announced their return to Counter-Strike after a near six-year absence by signing a women's roster, Ghost fe, headlined by stalwart of the women's scene Emmalee "EMUHLEET" Garrido.
North American organization Ghost first entered CS in 2017, but put themselves on the map with a roster featuring the likes of Joshua "steel" Nissan, Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir and Kenneth "koosta" Suen across late 2018 into 2019.
They briefly peaked at 15th in the world rankings early in 2019 following an iBUYPOWER Masters run that featured two wins over FaZe, taking down the likes of Nikola "NiKo" Kovač and Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács. The organization parted ways with their roster later in 2019.
The most well-known name on the lineup Ghost are returning to CS with is EMUHLEET, a veteran of the game who began her career back in 2014. The AWPer and IGL spent the majority of her career playing for Dignitas fe, with whom she notably claimed the Intel Challenge Katowice trophy in 2019.
Two ex-EG Gold members will join EMUHLEET on the squad, Kiki "PiggyKiki" Long and Tilde "7licious" Byström. PiggyKiki attended the first two ESL Impact League LAN finals, whilst 7licious averaged a solid 1.16 rating during her time with EG Gold, twice narrowly missing out on Impact LAN finals appearances in seasons 3 and 4.
Rounding out the playing roster are Elena "Ellie" Garland and Mira "mira" Luna, both of whom have competed in multiple seasons of ESL Impact. Ellie spent the majority of her career with Karma, whilst mira has featured for the likes of Tsunami Sirens, Limitless Angels and Lumen fe.
David "Xp3" Garrido will take up coaching duties for the squad. The 37-year-old is vastly experienced in CS, beginning his career as a player in 1.6 in 2005. Most recently he has been coaching women's teams in CS, namely Karma and Blue Otter Karma.
