The Party Astronauts CS2 roster has disbanded due to internal disagreements. The first reports of conflict within the team were revealed by former players Colby “Walco” Walsh and Tommy “Axed” Ryan. They emphasized that a negative atmosphere prevailed within the team. The scandal occurred in X..
Axed stated that the team lacked trust, communication, and mutual respect. He also mentioned that chaotic and irrational roster decisions were being made within the team.
Yesterday, I made the easy decision to leave Party Astronauts.
I write this as disappointed as anyone could ever be. I joined Party Astronauts last month to join in the hunt to qualify for my first major, and unfortunately that mission has failed. There was a severe lack of internal trust, communication, and respect. I will not operate in a team where erratic and irrational roster decisions are made without the consultation of the coach and players. Your lack of professionalism has cost you the Blast Open Qualifiers, IEM Dallas Closed, PGL, Fragadelphia, ECL, and your VRS Core.
You dug your own grave.Tommy “Axed” Ryan
Walco supported his former teammate and noted that the team could have had a bright future if Justin “FaNg” Coakley did not have such a massive ego.
Team would've 100% survived and thrived had Fang not had an enormous ego or if Ben had taken action to try and deal with it as opposed to letting it go rampant for so long. Tommy and I tried to give our input without over-stepping and taking over the team and while tactically we improved a little bit, attitude and egos did not.Colby “Walco” Walsh
FaNg did not stay silent and also made a statement on social media platform X.
We took a chance on you, and gave you an opportunity, when no one else would. And it’s a shame that a person who we thought came in with good intentions, could single handedly blindside us, a team that has been working diligently to build towards CS achievements, and in the process destroy players reputations and hard work.Justin “FaNg” Coakley
Every team has its issues. I’m shocked that it turned out this way and so fast. Like the snap of a finger our roster is gone.
At the end of the day our team had issues about the vision/play style of the team, and we failed as a team to solve those issues. It’s a team game, we all had responsibilities set to achieve what we needed to. If you can’t put aside your differences for the team it’s never gonna function.
It’s sad that it turned out this way. Counter-Strike has been my life and I don't want this to be the end. I look forward to whatever comes next.Ben “ben1337” Smith
Walco and Axed joined the team on January 13. During their time with the roster, the team participated in only two qualifiers and one tournament. In CCT Season 2 North American Series 4, they placed 5th-8th.
