Renegades make CS return with Grayhound signing

3/12/2019 - 09:03

Renegades have announced their return to Counter-Strike with the signing of the Grayhound roster.

The Australian team inked a deal with Renegades ahead of the ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals and will have a baptism of fire under the new organisation as they will take on Astralis in their first match in Odense on Tuesday.

Renegades had been without a CS squad since late October, when their team was transferred to 100 Thieves. During their four-year tenure with the organisation, the squad, who also hail from Australia, had attended five Counter-Strike Majors, reaching the playoffs at IEM Katowice 2019 and at the StarLadder Major.

Renegades stick to Australian talent with the Grayhound roster

Grayhound entered the Counter-Strike scene with the signing of the ex-Immunity roster in June of 2017, three months after the launch of the organisation. After undergoing multiple changes, the team became a regular presence on the international circuit in 2018 and attended both Majors in 2019, when they also broke into the top 20 in the rankings.

In the announcement video, Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri hinted at the team staying in Australia through a phone call skit with Renegades owner Jonas Jerebko.

The new Renegades squad look as follows:

Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri
Ollie "⁠DickStacy⁠" Tierney
Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong
Simon "⁠Sico⁠" Williams
Joshua "⁠INS⁠" Potter

NICE!

grayhounds are probably at the level that vox eminor was when they got signed by renegades.

2019-12-03 09:59

7 replies

much better imo

2019-12-03 10:24

Vox eminor honestly weren't all that good they got through to a lot of events mainly because of Oceania qualifiers grayhound look a lot better than vox did in the day.

2019-12-03 10:28

yeah true. i just wish they would move to america so they can develop more skill over there in a better region plus they would easily be a top 2 mdl team over there and can probably qualify for for dreamhack events and small american events.

Dont you think they'll consider this in the near future since renegades already moved one australian team to the US and had success with it

2019-12-03 13:56

hltv.org/news/28551/dickstacy-well-be-st.. i doubt they will

2019-12-05 07:15

Yeah my comment aged poorly xd But I honestly expected it since the former squad developed so much in NA

2019-12-05 08:47

yeah same but even in the release video they said that they were staying in Australia

2019-12-05 09:34

Woohoo

what a downgrade lmao, 100T are the only aussies to win smthg

20 replies

Yeah, maybe the regional major qualifier, can't really think of anything else lol. It sucks that Australia gets 2 absolutely free, undeserved and frankly wasted spots when the #1 AUS team is worse than the #15 EU team.

2019-12-03 09:27

15 replies

#1 aus team is currently top5

2019-12-03 09:31

12 replies

Yeah, and EG got the #2 spot after winning only 1 event on home soil. You may have noticed that HLTV rankings are deeply flawed. You get obscene amounts of points for the big events where you need to get invited. 100T get invited because they're Australian, not because they are good, and despite not playing very well always rack up points that boost their ranking, whereas teams that play better CS from other regions just don't get invited and thus have no chance to place as well in the rankings.

2019-12-03 09:53

what teams are better than 100t and don't have a chance to play at big events?

2019-12-03 10:13

You are delusional my friend, forze and tricked are tier 2, 100 thieves is bottom tier 1

2019-12-03 11:19

hahaha wtf, you think 100t havent had to grind their way to top 5? delusional

2019-12-03 11:31

I agree that the HLTV rankings are definitely flawed, but calling 100T worse than the #15 EU team is a big exaggeration.

2019-12-03 10:23

+1 100T is not the best team, but they are quite consistent and they look like a solid team. Something similar happens with Avangar.

2019-12-03 11:58

1iq comment, Sharks and ATK are way lower ranked than Renegades and 100T (American qualifier btw, Australia only gets 1 spot)

2019-12-03 09:34

bro 100T has won every game they've played that wasn't against Astralis. they were put in the american qualifier and even after a garbage seed with liquid, they destroyed every other team 2-0.

2019-12-03 12:46

Vox Eminor weren't winning anything when they were signed by Renegades...

2019-12-03 11:08

Let's see but I'm not conviced by Grayhound

2019-12-03 15:39

What exactly has 100t won? I can see a 2017 star ladder but that's it..?

2019-12-03 15:26

By win something I would say to go to playoff in big tournaments, they haven't win yet but if you compare the level of 100T rn and Grayhound they is a big hole

2019-12-03 15:38

YTB, interesting that the owner of Grayhound has also joined as part of the transfer apparently, makes me think they'll stay in Australia instead of move to US, excited either way tho

Seems like they felt uncomfortable with competitive roster.

YESSSS #YEAHTHEBOYS <3

Good move. Gh gonna to play NA CS. Order is officially top1 of Oceanic and Pacific scene team XD

they arent moving

2019-12-03 09:58

Oh really? Okey then... Better they move to NA imo

2019-12-03 09:48

It seemed likely they'd reach out to another au team. This is good for au cs ;)

YEAH THE NEW BOYS

Nice, they are gonna be playing in NA

In the announcement video, Liam "malta" Schembri revealed that the team will remain in Australia through a phone call skit with Renegades owner Jonas Jerebko. :(

Whyy, the team would get so much better by playing on NA, prob attached to family or girlfriends

2019-12-03 12:28

Im sure it was already mentioned its pretty much that keeping them in aus a staff memeber in rng discord said that if they eventually want to jump to NA, they are more than welcome to. so they might :/

2019-12-03 12:29

I said that Renegades would sign Grayhound's roster and then Grayhound signing AVANT or Order

mr.grayhound has also been signed by renegades. no more grayhound 99%

oh really?

2019-12-03 10:19

YEAH THE RENEGADES.

2019-12-03 09:55

2019-12-03 10:22

LETS GOOOOO

2019-12-03 10:25

It's paradoxal. Staying in Australia is probably this team's only chance to going to majors again. At the same time, playing against Australian teams probably won't make them improve that much Anyways,GL to them

2019-12-03 10:26

Noice

2019-12-03 10:29

2019-12-03 11:16

Yes, sign player and kick him after 2 hours.

2019-12-03 11:22
