Absolute Legends have announced that they have picked up Prospects as their Counter-Strike: Global Offensive squad.
The Swedish team, who are currently competing in HLTV.org's online qualifier for DreamHack Bucharest, were formed last week with a mixture of players who competed at the highest level in the 1.6 scene.
With the acquisition of Prospects, Absolute Legends now expand to a new game, with the organisation already boasting teams in League of Legends, Call of Duty, Starcraft II and Shootmania.
Not all of the players will make the transition to AL, however, as former Lions ace Dennis "dennis" Edman will fill the shoes of John "hyvlarn" Edelsvärd.
"After a while searching for an organisation we finally found AbsoluteLegends," André "BARBARR" Möller told AL's website.
"Some intense talks later, we thought everything seemed more than fine and decided to take the step. aL have a big reputation in almost every game and is finally stepping into the Counter Strike scene.
"With this support on our back, whether we succeed or not depends on us."
Absolute Legends have not yet announced which events the team will attend, but DreamHack Winter in November should be a priority for them.
The team's roster is consisted of the following five players:
Joel "emilio" Mako
Danniél "dalito" Morales
André "BARBARR" Möller
Dennis "dennis" Edman
Daniel "rape" Börzsönyi
I don't think this team will hold any longer in the ranks of AL with dennis included.
Not only because dennis lack professionalism, he also has a very bad reputation among gamers.
He tried to RAT-infect the whole scene by uploading a RINPUT.exe which was binded with a trojan.
And rape stolen money previously from GeT_RiGhT when they were participating CPH Games 2011 (GeT_RiGhT funded their trip and rape took all the funds).
This team won't do any damage because they're all really bad at CS:GO (I got friends who laughed at those guys@GO)
It's just a sooner or later question when Ryad finds out that this team lacks professionalism and that this team indeed is a threat to their brand.
Let me also remind you that CS:GO isn't near 1.6 in any ways. This team aren't as good as they would be in 1.6, therefore this team to me is a complete joke. (They should stick to something they're good at).
And the reason why I out this is because I disapproved that dalito wanted to replace hyvlarn with dennis.

dennis instead of hyvlarn is really strange move, agreed.
Anyway this team will cease to exist in a few weeks.
