Talon have expressed interest in returning to the Counter-Strike scene with an Oceanic lineup led by former Renegades and 100 Thieves member Aaron "AZR" Ward, reports HLTV. Talon, known for their League of Legends, Dota 2 and Valorant teams, have not participated in Counter-Strike since 2018, when their Taiwanese squad finished 13th-15th at the eXTREMESLAND 2017 Asian Finals in Shanghai.
In this potential return, Talon are hoping for veteran captain AZR, who hasn't played since April 2023 after leaving Sprout. The 31-year-old, who has competed in six majors and reached the semifinals at StarLadder Berlin Major in 2019 with Renegades, is eager to resume his career.
