Swole Patrol disband

18/9/2020 - 02:13

The American roster have decided to go their separate ways after spending just over two months together.

Jordan "⁠Zellsis⁠" Montemurro has revealed on Twitter that Swole Patrol have disbanded, with the fate of the individual members of the roster still up in the air with players wanting to "move in different directions."

This iteration of the Swole Patrol roster first came together under the Ze Pug Godz tag in July, with Zellsis, Austin "⁠Cooper⁠" Abadir, and Edgar "⁠MarKE⁠" Maldonado reuniting from the previous Swole Patrol roster alongside Bradley "⁠ANDROID⁠" Fodor and Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green.

The team found swift success as they qualified for the North American division of DreamHack Open Summer 2020 with victories over Chaos and TeamOne, but shortly afterward ANDROID announced he would be leaving the roster as he had "never experienced so many issues within the first week of practice."

Cooper- and company have chosen to walk different paths

With Will "⁠dazzLe⁠" Loafman enlisted as a replacement for the Canadian player, the team went on to place 5-6th in DreamHack Open Summer before narrowly missing out on qualifying for FunSpark ULTI with a loss to Chaos in the grand final.

Zellsis and company later went on to qualify for IEM New York, a Regional Major Ranking (RMR) event, but recently found out that they would be unable to field Maxim "⁠wippie⁠" Shepelev in the event due to a roster lock imposed at the time of the closed qualifier in mid-August when the team were still competing with MarKE, who has since departed for Chaos.

When contacted by HLTV.org, wippie said he was uncertain of the direction he wanted to go in, mentioning that he would still like to play CS:GO. dazzLe mentioned that he would announce his intentions in the coming days, while Zellsis said in a statement to Dust2.us that he is unsure if he will stay in the game. Cooper did not respond to a request for comment.

Swole Patrol's roster was:

Jordan "⁠Zellsis⁠" Montemurro
Austin "⁠Cooper⁠" Abadir
Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green
Will "⁠dazzLe⁠" Loafman
Maxim "⁠wippie⁠" Shepelev

Ian "⁠Immi⁠" Harding (coach)

2020-09-20 03:14

lol how many times is this shit team gonna keep disbanding and running off to valorant

Match fix and Valorant

these are the guys who reported the matchfix? LOL Also they are disbanding cause some of their members are gettin offers from orgs like c9 and cause its hard to earn money or have fun with state of na scene.

2020-09-18 14:52

I cann´t imagine a world in that anyone on Ex Swole Patrol gets an offer from C9

2020-09-19 01:46

Who cares

frail patrol incoming

2020-09-18 02:16

sad part is zellsis was trying to say this time was different and that they wouldn't disband like a month ago. so expected

I mean, it did seem like it would be different, you know they were actually an ok team, they were able to consistently stay at the same level as Chaos and C9 and sometimes beat better teams, you could not say the same thing about the old Swole Patrol or Swole Identity lineups.

2020-09-18 15:27

Expected. I honestly don't know what they expected. "Let's build a roster again from the same pool of T3 talent and see if we get results"

CSGO in a rough spot? Should just say its T2 NA CS not CSGO :) All T2 NA players going to valorant and most likely theese will aswell

It’s not even tier 2 lmao

2020-09-18 03:00

These guys already tried to go to valorant but then they came back to CS xD. But I guess they’ll try their hand at valorant again

lol they get paid good salaries to play games thats a life if u ask me

2020-09-18 05:39

These guys? You think swole patrol makes good salaries? It's not even a sponsored team.

2020-09-18 07:26

what salaries, that's why they're disbanding, they ain't getting any

2020-09-18 08:22

nvm I never looked at swole patrol before, always thought it was an org lmao

2020-09-18 16:36

nah, that's one of the reasons why swag was ditched in favor of eUnited back when Swole qualified for sydney, because eUnited offered salaries.

2020-09-18 16:49

yeah makes sense tbh I didnt remember that

2020-09-18 16:59

The fuck you on about lmao

2020-09-18 08:43

RIP!

Cooper is a rough gem in this lineup. Someone needs to pick him up. C9 cooper pogchap

2020-09-18 02:17

Gotta add a monolith to build a monolith

+1 egg man good

2020-09-18 02:20

hmm yes c9 cooper would definitely be interesting and have potential

2020-09-18 04:24

Cooper needed to get picked up a couple years ago when he was in great form.

2020-09-18 05:52

they're getting acoR, who is much much better than Cooper and also younger.

2020-09-18 09:41

proof? I heard c9 cooper rumors from multiple people who know na cs.

2020-09-18 02:57

Now we are just waiting for MIBR to do the same thing.

Hey HenryG, Some guys on Twitter want to get in touch with you regarding that new c9 roster,

Go back to valorant bots, tier 3 cs in NA XAXAXAX

CS scene dying. This is probably the hardest period we've been in since the betting scandals. Let's hope we survive this one too.

2020-09-18 03:02

Cs scene not dying only washed or bad players moving to valorant

2020-09-18 03:03

Ya deodarant actually improving the scene by weeding out the trash

2020-09-18 03:08

So I’m 32 been playing since 2001 (quit from 2010-2016). I remember towards the end of 2010 in ESEA league I would check people’s profiles and everyone was 20+ besides the rare stewie at the time. The last 3 matches I played in open had a couple 16 year olds and 17 year olds. Also couple MDL teams in N/A have a young player core. All this news brings back memories of a dying scene but I try to remember how many youngin’s I see playing this game still compared to last time. Hopefully some big stuff happens after this pandemic that can keep CS:GO fresh and interesting! You always need the next generation in the waiting to keep something going. If only we could stay the same age :P

2020-09-18 08:48

Only irrelevant players are retiring and also theyre all from NA mostly

2020-09-18 11:26

LUL all tier 10 Na players try to go valulrant pro xD

who even cars about these NA fools? faze disband next pls

2020-09-18 03:04

T3 NA is a joke, everyone switching back and forth between CS and Valorant hoping for incredible offer instead of grinding and improving their own skills.

2020-09-18 03:05

all peoples is knows FURIA this players who fuck is the swolepetrol? always no name no name NA team all game use the wall cheat aim cheat

what is this the 6th disband for swole? gl but delusional if they think the valorant scene isn't gonna end up franchised and harder to get into than T2 cs scene now

2020-09-18 03:36

markE come to isurus

2020-09-18 03:46

2020-09-18 03:51

lmao i know, relax

2020-09-18 17:04

Cooper and Zellsis to C9 please

2020-09-18 03:49

Who cares?

Ofc these losers would disband, they couldn't keep a roster for more than weeks nor win anything. Bunch of washed up paycheck stealers, probably heading towards VALORANT (in italics)

2020-09-18 04:07

déjà vu

2020-09-18 04:09

I'm sad. First Android leaves within a few hours of their first tournament and they have to play with 0 practice. Then Marke who is arguably their best player gets signed to Chaos. Infinite has to move because of the wildfires and they are unable to practice/play in their MDL games. Then the spots they earned are taken away due to roster changes outside their control. Watching this team go toe to toe and beat Chaos gave me hope, but I can't blame them for thinking they are spinning their wheels at this point.

Android just signed to an org... Not CS though twitter.com/andbox_official/status/13066..

2020-09-18 04:52

Noooooo :(

2020-09-18 04:10

Didn’t these guys already disband like 1 or 2 times lol

2020-09-18 04:42

NA CS just dead guys... Enjoy EG, TL, GenG, C9 & Chaos... That's all we got. Envy maybe

2020-09-18 09:38

who?

2020-09-18 09:43

Another useless team disbanded, good.

2020-09-18 10:48

This just reminds me of an interview with Maikelele where he just complained that the NA teams don't have the passion to stay orgless. They just go for a few months and then disband and create a new orgless roster a few months later. Remember that NoChance played for nearly 18 months before they got their first paycheck. But I guess it is easier in EU since you got all the betting company events against low tier teams.

2020-09-18 10:49

Well that, and in some EU countries you get decent unemployment, whereas in the US you become homeless

2020-09-18 11:03

That is true, and in EU I guess it is more socially acceptable to live with your parents than it is in big parts of NA

2020-09-18 11:16

Valorant is waiting for you

2020-09-18 10:56

rip NA cs

2020-09-18 11:07

2020-09-18 11:15

So expected with zellsis, the biggest crybaby on the scene

It’s time for... Paw Patrol

2020-09-18 11:27

It's so funny no one is even surprised anymore, waiting for these guys to start playing valorant again to then come back to cs a month later

2020-09-18 11:34

There are no T2 orgs anymore, no sponsors left in lower-level CS aside from betting companies who probably ask players to matchfix. Obviously T2 scene is going to move to a better game with a healthy competitive scene.

2020-09-18 11:38

tier 2? oh, you mean tier four.

2020-09-18 20:33

Again? Zellsis back to C9?

2020-09-18 11:41

Zellsis back to NAXUI

2020-09-18 11:46

kek :>

2020-09-18 11:58

why do u want c9 to disband again? wtf

2020-09-18 13:49

Imagine keep australian trash in 100T instead of signing swole patrol

2020-09-18 12:11

Can they all just move to Valorant instead cluttering HLTV news feed with every rebrand and disband?

2020-09-18 12:24

Perfect. Attention-seekers

2020-09-18 12:57

they will, i think 3 of them will move to the new andbox team. probably zellsis, infinite, and cooper/dazzle

2020-09-18 20:20

They already tried, but no one wants to hire them lmao

2020-09-28 05:45

Kinda sad news, more players to Valorant I guess

2020-09-18 12:31

I'm really surprised that no org. took them, I really think they had potential.

2020-09-18 23:37

EZ path now for TeamOne into pro league. The rest of MDL is dogshit.

2020-09-18 17:06
