GR has parted ways with their Counter-Strike team, the Hong Kong-based organization revealed on Saturday. This announcement follows closely after the team’s return from finishing in last place at the Asia RMR less than a month ago.
Originating from the Russian Far East, GR secured their spot at the RMR by succeeding in the East Asia Closed Qualifier, where they notably defeated Chinggis Warriors and ATOX. However, securing a place in the Major turned out to be too challenging as they suffered significant defeats against Rare Atom and FlyQuest in the double-elimination event.
Shortly after the RMR, GR revealed that Pyak ‘7nation’ Gil En was leaving the team due to “health-related issues.” With head coach Suleımen ‘dukefissura’ Orazaly and Vladislav ‘Sange’ Tsyuan stepping in as stand-ins, the team ultimately placed last in its group at the 1xBet MESA Asia Series 2, suffering defeats against SGGT and The Huns.

- Arkadii ‘SALO_MUX’ Balanda
- Oleg ‘weqt2’ Pranenko
- Roman ‘mediocrity’ Stetsenko
- Viktor ‘Runnin’ Chernenko
- Suleımen ‘dukefissura’ Orazaly (coach)
