Coalesce, formally known as 1PIN, are renowned for staying together for so long, only making a few changes for five ESEA seasons, spanning over 16 months. Kristian “Krs7N” Mladenov was a part of the original Heaven and Hell roster that formed going into 2022, whereby he played in the roster for five months. After a short stint in Bulgarian rosters such as Katuna and needDOCTOR he returned to Coalesce. However, even though this roster has progressed in a way that has exceeded everyone’s expectations over the last seven months, Krs7N will now be looking for a new home.
During this eleven-month stay, Coalesce went all the way from open to ESL Challenger League Season 44 Relegations. In Europe, this wasn’t the only success they found as they went from the closed qualifier in CCT West Europe Series 1 Closed Qualifier to playoffs, whereby they achieved #65 in the HLTV rankings. Regionally they stamped themselves as one of the household names placing top four in ESL Premiership Autumn 2022, first place at EPIC.LAN 38 beat Viperio twice and placed second at the UKIC Beyond Winter Invitational 2022.
This roster was under the banner 1PIN for around ten months which was a serious drawback for this squad, stumping them from progressing deep into the UK scene alongside Europe. However, on January 15th Coalesce swooped back into the UK scene, marking themselves as the savours for 1PIN and we saw instant success. This did not stop till the modern day as Ryan “dox” Young and his merry men have made playoffs in the ongoing CCT Western Europe Series 3 going 3-1 in the Main Swiss. While also just losing out playoffs in CCT Central Europe Series 6 going 2-3 in the Main Swiss. Even in ESEA they are 2-1 in Advanced and will be looking to make playoffs for the third season in the row.

However, even though Coalesce have been on the rise, their Bulgarian hype man has been struggling recently with a 0.94 rating across his time on HLTV, thus the team decided they need to replace Krs7N to elevate themselves.
Coalesce will continue to play in ESEA Advanced and CCT playoffs as:
Ryan “dox” Young
Oliver “leaf” Jackson
Oscar “AZUWU” Bell
Tobias “shyyne” Sæther
Today we say goodbye to @Krs7N, a crucial part to our success so far. Kristian will be missed by all here at Coalesce.💜
