Calyx, danistzz headline new Sangal roster

The Turkish organization has crafted a new lineup after selling its core to HEROIC.

Sangal has announced the signing of a new roster headlined by former Eternal Fire rifler Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın and BetBoom member Danil "⁠danistzz⁠" Roslyakov, who spent much of 2024 AWPing for Space.

The lineup is rounded out by Bartosz "⁠bnox⁠" Niebisz, who will take up anchor roles, and former ECLOT duo Raul "⁠Blytz⁠" Gligor and Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson, the latter as the team's in-game leader.

The signings mark a new chapter for Sangal after it sold its core of Simon "⁠yxngstxr⁠" Boije, Yasin "⁠xfl0ud⁠" Koç, and Linus "⁠LNZ⁠" Holtäng to HEROIC, parted ways with Dawid "⁠SaMey⁠" Stańczak, and Samet "⁠jottAAA⁠" Köklü returned to Eternal Fire during the tournament break.

HEROIC reveal new roster

The team will not have a rank on the VRS and will begin the season playing in open qualifiers to build up points and experience, with the aim to return to tier-two by the second half of 2025.

"Building a team from the ground up is always challenging, especially getting all the pieces to click," Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson states in Sangal's announcement.

"But I truly believe we’ve created something really good with this new lineup, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together for 2025."

Sangal's new roster is:

Turkey Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın
Russia Danil "⁠danistzz⁠" Roslyakov
Romania Raul "⁠Blytz⁠" Gligor
Sweden Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson
Poland Bartosz "⁠bnox⁠" Niebisz

Sweden Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson (coach)

He was an awper before BB as well. He rifled shortly before he and Kair0n were picked up. You'd be surprised to find out how many of riflers were awpers in their breakout teams lol

I actually quite like this team, danistzz has impressed on AWP and I think blytz + bnox are underrated players. don't know about kreaz IGLing nor how calyx's performance will be, but either way should be a solid t2 squad with potential to improve with some moves in the future

If yall think those players are mid then u dont watch CS. Players rise in their career at some point u know, like iM, like every other GL, Apeks, OG, Endpoint breakout players. Calyx - good aim, experienced player Blytz - good firepower crisp entry player bnox - good player overall at least promising danistz - good awper krez - good morning
