HSBG present CS:GO squad

HEADSHOTBG have announced that they have ventured into CS:GO by creating their own team.

The region of the Balkans is a late bloomer in CS:GO, with some of its countries only recently witnessing the birth of their first teams in this game. Romania is a sheer example of this scenario, as neXtplease! and IGotGame made the switch only this month.

Bulgaria now seems to be following that trend as its first top team has come to life, exclusively composed by 1.6 players.

From the last HSBG team, who finished 5th-8th at DreamHack Bucharest, only Nikolay "pNshr" Paunin and Anton "TarantuLa" Tanev, with the rest of the squad made up of former DooM duo Emiliyan "spyleadeR" Dimitrov and Nikolay "nkl" Krustev, and ex-Exercitus BULGARIA player Alexander "ZinG" Ananiev.

HSBG have not yet announced any plans for the future, but with the organisation now supported by Ozone, chances are that they will attend all events that take place across the Balkans.

The Bulgarian team consist of the following players:

Bulgaria Nikolay "pNshr" Paunin
Bulgaria Anton "TarantuLa" Tanev
Bulgaria
Emiliyan "spyleadeR" Dimitrov
Bulgaria Alexander "ZinG" Ananiev
Bulgaria Nikolay "nkl"  Krustev

those top100 1.6 teams should be the first to migrate to CS:GO, that's just stupid.

Absolutely, they should have seized the advantage when they had it roughly a year ago. Unfortunately, though, I think a lot of the very top tier players were the only ones to get to test it at first, which potentially automatically gave them the advantage, although the game was pretty different and all the people playing it went back to their respective games afterwards to resume competitive play. Still, it is silly for this team to just officially make the switch now, hopefully they have good hours played individually at least.

No, they don't have many hours. Spyleader was flaming CS:GO from the bottom of his heart. They are pretty bad compared to the best Macedonian and Serbian teams imo. Don't want to think about comparing them with OK swedish or dannish teams. They have players in this team that totally have no clue about the game. The only title this team can achieve can be 'the best male team in Bulgaria', which isn't actually sure cuz they lost to some kids 1 week ago. But best team out of 10 doesn't sound good either. As I said I would love to play vs HSBG with my female team :) And yes I'm flaming them cuz they fucked me for a cup that we were supposed to play together. They are fucking 2 faces ppl and they sux at CS:GO. As one of them said "I'm in this team because of the sponsors". They don't even like each other, nice team but it won't go so far and they will probably split up soon.

Probably I can tell you mate. They don't get anything... No salaries, no hardware, no bonuses. Only some tournament participation support and some organization behind them. Now think again, why the hell have they chosen to play for HSBG ... can't figure it!

Better now then never. Also 1 year ago nobody really knew if GO would be a success or not. Now that the csgo has grown quite big and also since more and more players made the switch, people (1.6ers) realize that maybe they should reconsider their POV about csgo.

It's true that they should have anticipated, just like when 1.6 came out! A lot of people were against it but in the end everyone switched!
