Danish team Gaimin Gladiators announced on their X page the first lineup changes since April: Patti and Salazar are leaving the team. This is a landmark event, as the team has not made any changes to the roster for a year, since playing under the ECSTATIC tag.
The Gaimin Gladiators team first impressed audiences at Major in Copenhagen, going all the way from Open Qualifications to the Legends Stage. Their successes led to a move to Gaimin Gladiators after the Major. However, after the transition, the team's results began to noticeably deteriorate. A last place finish at the MESA Nomadic Masters Spring in Mongolia and CCT Global Finals was a wake-up call for fans.
Today we want to express our deepest thanks to @PattiCSGO and @salazarCSGO for entering the COLOSSEUM.

Queenix, Nodios and kraghen who have been in the team for about a year and over a year and a half respectively remain in the team. Patti was brought into the lineup last summer when the team was still playing under the name ECSTATIC. These changes were the first since he joined the team. In an interview with Dust2.dk, team coach casle emphasized that the substitutions were necessary to create a powerful duo.
The casle coach said: “We had the opportunity to bring in two really good players who also have a lot of experience. Sometimes you have to make a change when you have the opportunity. We believe this will help us get back in the standings." He also said that the decision was difficult: “We were all very close to each other and that makes it especially difficult. But when the right opportunity presents itself, you have to take it."
The Gaimin Gladiators are experiencing their first meaningful lineup changes in a long time. These replacements could be a key step in getting the team back on top. According to the coach, two experienced players are expected to join, which could bring discipline and experience to the team, thus raising the level of the players.
