Team Descend have announced the signing of Odin eSports’ CSGO team fresh off their 13th-14th finish at i59 earlier this month. This move was triggered by Odin eSports announcing earlier this month that they will be shutting down. The main reasons Odin released for shutting the doors were two of the main reasons most eSports organisations fail, time and money.
Over the last 2 months or so, the inactivity behind the scenes has began to increase leading to a lot of things not getting done due to people working and additional needs which are understandable. More and more concerns began to grow when liam decided to step away from eSports management generally due to his work too, so it was less likely that we would be able to cope and keep getting things done. Additionally, we only had the counter strike team to work with due to little funds coming in & although we were willing to put money into the organisation, it wasn’t enough to get Odin to where I wanted it to be and I wasn’t allowing the other lads to lose money along with myself doing pointless projects that won’t lead to anything due to not having sufficient funds. – Segment from Streaky’s TwitLonger
Montsta and co discuss their plans (for their games) at i59
The ex-Odin eSports lineup wasted no time in finding a new home though and, as of last night, announced they have joined Team Descend. The team have stuck together through this change as well, so the roster is unaltered from the one we saw perform at i59.
Team Descend’s new CSGO is:
Lewis “MontSta^” Monty
Jack “Jack” Harrison
Nick “DM_God” Henriques
Shane “5haBo” Borlase
Sadegh “ShadowmaN” Mzadeh
