Nemesis enters CS with European team

The organization has teams in different esports in Asia, Europe and North America.

Nemesis, a multi-gaming organization with teams in America, Asia, and Europe, has announced its entry into Counter-Strike 2 with a roster featuring two former Into the Breach players, Thomas "⁠Thomas⁠" Utting and Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel.

"The journey began with rekindling our working relationship with Thomas," says Nemesis' CEO, Chris "Momo" Evans, previously a part of the management team in Into the Breach.

"Anyone familiar with the UK scene knows his ability to build cost-effective but genuinely competitive rosters. Beyond his talent-spotting and leadership, Thomas has always been a pleasure to work with — our dialogue throughout the process was honest, productive, and ultimately made the decision easy. He was a natural foundation to build around.

"Adding CRUC1AL is a statement. His experience at the highest levels of play brings both legitimacy and structure to the team. He’s someone who has been there, done that — and we’re confident he’ll be a key pillar in helping this roster reach its ceiling."

"After taking a year break, I’m looking forward to competing again," Thomas tells HLTV. "Nemesis has trusted me to build a roster where we can nurture talent while building from the ground up.

"Realigning with Joey and building something with purpose similar to our old ITB roster was the goal, and with the additions of Frip, Tein, and Bevve, I feel like we can develop the roster into a very competitive team."

Nemesis will also feature another British player in James "⁠bevve⁠" Slinn, a 25-year-old journeyman of the UKCS scene, along with 22-year-old Latvian Roberts "⁠Frip⁠" Poļakovs and 19-year-old Dawid "⁠tein⁠" Śladkowski, from Poland, whose handful of HLTV matches come from a stint in los kogutos.

"bevve brings much-needed stability and an unshakeable positive presence," Evans adds. "Every team needs someone who steadies the ship, and bevve's ability to anchor rounds — and energy — is something we value immensely.

"Finally, tein and Frip represent the next wave. Young and hungry, we see immense upside in both. We’re excited to give them the platform to grow."
