Ghost return to CS with women's roster

Nearly six years after their last appearance in CS, Ghost are back.

EMUHLEET will serve as the most experienced player on the roster

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.

Ghost fe are:

Sweden Tilde "⁠7licious⁠" Byström

Goat? Didnt see her stats Some orgs stop their fe teams such as navi and then u have ghost gaming pumping money into it🤔 I guess its region based.. only in america fe teams can attract sponsors etc. Whatcha think?

I think reason Navi stopped their Fe team, because for a org only one of your teams can accept invites to events. So if you have a great female team they'd just never get to go to events they were invited to.

i dont know man.. i think the return on investment is waay too low... thats the main reason, and yeah in navi's example they dont want it to clash with their main (male) team either

I think for Navi it wasn't profitable, but if you like cynically run a women team I think you could make a return on a investment. With getting invited to Tier 1 events due to VRS, if they'd time the cycle correctly, you could even fluke a major invite.
