Confirmed: IKLA is testing JACKZ, ISSAA, and afro

CEO of the Ukrainian esports organization IKLA, Maxim Bednarsky, confirmed rumors that the club is testing JACKZ, ISSAA, and afro for the new CS:GO lineup. Bednarsky revealed this in an exclusive comment to Cover.gg.

The CEO of IKLA noted that the team is also testing other pro-players with Tier-1 experience, whom he did not name. They are also reviewing players from Tier-2 and Tier-3 levels who demonstrate outstanding performance.

We are indeed testing these players [JACKZ, ISSAA, and afro], as well as others. As I mentioned, we are interested in players with Tier-1 experience. We are also looking at Tier-2 and Tier-3 players who have performed significantly above their level in the necessary positions.
Said Bednarsky

Earlier, IKLA announced a change in the organization's development direction. The club will create an international roster, while the academy team will consist of Ukrainian players. More details on this can be found in the article.

JACKZ and ISSAA

JACKZ has tremendous experience at the Tier-1 level. He has played for clubs such as 3DMAX, G2 Esports, DBL PONEY, and HEET. He also competed for Team Vitality in ESL Pro League Season 17, where he showcased a high level of play, which was recognized by his temporary teammates and various analysts.

If ISSAA's move to IKLA does happen, it will be the esports player's second experience with a Ukrainian club. Previously, he represented HellRaiser, where he was able to showcase himself and later transferred to OG.

When does IKLA play?

The international IKLA lineup will be assembled by the end of the summer break in the professional scene. Thus, the debut of the Ukrainian organization's new roster will take place in the first qualifiers for Tier-1 competitions.

Possible IKLA lineup:

  • Vladyslav "Kvem" Korol
  • Oleksiy "Topa" Topchienko
  • Audric "JACKZ" Jug
  • Issa "ISSAA" Murad
  • Aurélien "afro" Drapier
  • Roman "WOLF" Mykhailenko (coach)
