Johnny Speeds, an esports team that recently won two important victories at the Shuffle Masters Season 2 and Suicide Zero Charity Cup by Luddie 2024 tournaments, is on the verge of collapse due to problems with finding an organization. Despite the successes on the international scene, the future of the team remains in doubt. draken spoke about the future of Johnny Speeds in an interview with Dust2.Se.
Victories in tournaments
This weekend, Johnny Speeds won two tournaments at once. First, they triumphed at the Shuffle Masters Season 2 tournament, winning a $10,000 prize. Later on, the team won the Suicide Zero Charity Cup by Luddie 2024, a charity event with a $7,000 prize pool. These victories were a significant achievement for the team, which continues to demonstrate a high level of play and win important trophies.
Lack of organization is a serious threat
Despite their tournament successes, Johnny Speeds do not have an organization that would financially support the team. In an interview after the victory at the Suicide Zero Charity Cup, the team's sniper William “draken” Sundin said that the team's future depends on whether they manage to find an organization in the near future.
"We have a month to resolve this issue. If we don't find an organization, I'm not sure we'll be together as a team in a month. In that case, the players will probably leave for other teams,” Draken said.
Negotiations with organizations
Johnny Speeds is in talks with several organizations, one of which even offered a contract, but decided to postpone signing it until the RMR qualifiers are over. After the team failed to show the expected results at this stage, the organization refused to make further arrangements.
Future plans
If Johnny Speeds fails to find a new organization, the players may disband or join other teams. However, draken noted that the team intends to participate in the Swedish Cup if they manage to stay together. This will allow them to continue playing at a high level and try to get financial support in the future.
Conclusion.
The victories at the Shuffle Masters Season 2 and Suicide Zero Charity Cup confirm the potential of Johnny Speeds, but the lack of organization calls into question their further existence. The team is looking for support, but if they don't find it within the next month, they may disband.
