How was chelo's performance in Imperial Esports?
chelo joined the roster on August 22, 2022, and during this time, he played in 16 tournaments with the team. He also managed to earn a little over $100,000 in prize money.
The team's main achievement during this period was their victory at the BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2023, where they defeated Pain Gaming in the finals and earned $20,000!
They also performed well in the following championships:
- ESL Brasil Premier League Season 14 (1st place)
- TG Masters: Spring 2023 (1st place)
- ESL Pro League Season 17: South American Conference (1st place)
- ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022 (2nd place)
- BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 (3-4th place)
However, in the recent CS:GO Major, the team did not achieve the desired result, finishing 9th-11th in the RMR qualification. Despite this, chelo had the highest opening frag rating in the championship.
After the departure of these two players, the Imperial Esports roster now has only three active players:
Information about who will replace chelo is currently unknown.
What's next?
According to insiders, chelo and FalleN have been in negotiations with Furia Gaming for several weeks now. If the announcement of the departure from Imperial Esports has already taken place, then the announcement in Furia is not far off.
