AMANEK leads the new squad

Heading up the new ESC lineup is François “AMANEK” Delaunay, a French player with a wealth of experience on the competitive scene, best known for his play for G2. Since leaving G2 in 2022, AMANEK has been relatively inactive, playing only 14 maps in 2024. His last appearance was at the Regional Clash Arena Europe tournament, where he did not play well.

Details of the new roster

In addition to AMANEK, the lineup includes:

• François“AMANEK” Delaunay
• Dawid“lunAtic” Cieślak
• Leo“Svedjehed” Svedjehed
• Kalin“KalubeR” Erenditsov
• Filip “DEPRESHN” Jarkić

The team does not have a coach yet, but maybe he will appear later. For now, the players have already started their journey together with a two-week bootcamp in Germany, trying to build synergy and work on strategies.

Community Reaction

For many, this was a happy occasion, as a legendary organization without a roster was a bad thing. Many wish the team luck and believe in its future. The players themselves are excited to meet each other in person and are already working together in Germany.
