Space Soldiers go official

17-1-2015 16:00

A new Turkish team called Space Soldiers has officially been created, with some of the most experienced players in the country involved in the project.

Led by Tugay "⁠TuGuX⁠" Keskin, who has played for teams like logiX and Wild Fire throughout his CS:GO career, Space Soldiers are looking to become a household name in the international scene and attend the biggest events held in Europe.

The Turkish team recently took part in the South East Europe Championship, reaching the semi-finals of the tournament before suffering a 1-2 defeat against aimface.

Joining TuGuX are four well-known faces from the Turkish scene, Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş, Emre "⁠e1⁠" Biçer, Cihan "⁠ONLY⁠" Gönek and Çağatay "⁠DESPE⁠" Sedef, with the team having already begun preparations for Copenhagen Games, which will take place from April 1-5.

"Here we are with a new team consisting of the best players from Turkey and me (since I live in Germany)," Tugay "TuGuX" Keskin told HLTV.org. "We got in touch through a mutual friend and have got along from the start.

"The lineup is one of the most talented that I have been part of, and I am really looking forward to having a succesful career in this team.

"Nevertheless, talent is not enough and we have been practicing hard for one month.

"We have already met in Istanbul, and we will have excellent conditions to guarantee that we can concentrate on getting better and better.

"Space Soldiers is a really professional organisation, and I am glad to have the opportunity to be part of this. I hope that with this support we will be able to prove our potential."

Space Soldiers' team consist of:

Tugay "⁠TuGuX⁠" Keskin
Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş
Emre "⁠e1⁠" Biçer
Cihan "⁠ONLY⁠" Gönek
Çağatay "⁠DESPE⁠" Sedef

A new Turkish team called Space Solders...

lol i didnt even notice :c

Turks have a history of having their clan/team names misspelt in games.. I remember in CrossFire every Turkish team/player couldn't spell "Soldiers". Was funny seeing teams called TurkSoliders and so on.

i think tugux lives in germany?

2015-01-17 18:15

facebook.com/SpaceSoldiersTR/photos/a.65.. no he is living istanbul.

2015-01-17 18:27

they attened an event together but that doesn't mean that he lives in istanbul. in his statement he said that he lives in germany while the other team members live in turkey. his esl profile underlines this which says that he lives in buchen. esl.eu/de/player/1612559/

New tier3 team, glhf while getting rekt.

2015-01-17 19:14

Never heard of any1 of them but still GOOD LUCK to them!!!! This is what csgo needs more teams from more countries so instead of making fun of them or posting stupid insulting comments wish them good luck instead. Or just simply stfu. Sometimes i wonder if you all actually want csgo to grow or not lol such an toxic community

2015-01-17 19:15

this team will have no significance on the csgo scene whatsoever, and i have no clue how you think this will help the scene grow imagine if 5 random globals created a team, this is the same thing -- no one gives a shit

2015-01-17 19:56

as i said dno even who these guys are but posting retarded comments sure wont help anyone. The community in turkey might not be big(no idea) but who knows it might grow if there is a "pro" team playing in tournaments online or offline = more players more viewers. Dont you agree? Like i rly wish there could pop up 1-2 asian teams aswell to make csgo bigger in asia aswell that would be aswesome.

2015-01-17 20:34

Good luck!
