Kirk ‘Tadpole” Stephens and Matas “Extinct” Strumila bolster the ranks of BLVKHVND, just weeks prior to the commencement of ESL Premiership Autumn 2022. In a Tweet from BLVKHVND’s frontman Fraser “Frazehh” Sollom, he announced that Tadpole & Extinct, who averaged a 1.00 and 1.05 rating respectively during their successful UKIC Beyond Summer Invitation 2022 run, will be playing under the BLVKHVND banner. This instigates a role shuffle, as stated in the Tweet, presumably with Frazehh shifting to the big green.
Bittersweet news but we will be going forward playing with @ExtinctsCS and @TadpoleCS. Some role changes but super confident that we will be able to challenge the top of the scene domestically with some time, and look to make playoffs in Advanced.

Earlier in October, Olly “Husky” Gollings made his exit from the pack amidst dissatisfaction with the roles he was playing within the team. This was shortly followed by Jack “DeXter” Hepple’s departure who, after helping BLVKHVND finish 9-12th in ESEA Season 42 Main and thus qualifying for ESEA Season 43 Advanced, was let go from the team.
The ESL Premiership Autumn 2022, which will be kicking off on the 24th October 2022, will feature some of UK’s hottest CS:GO teams.
With these changes BLVKHVND now consist of:
Fraser “frazehh” Sollom
Josh “JAUSTERE” Philpott
Richard “Zulu” Wood
Matas “Extinct” Strumila
Kirk “Tadpole” Stephens
Cedric “Tome” Pas (coach)
