Coalesce announce new roster

The UK-based organisation will be fielding a mostly Swedish squad.

Coalesce today announced their return to the CS:GO scene with a majority-Swedish roster, breaking the news via their Twitter account; this comes after the organisation had dropped its UK squad at the end of 2021.

The organisation Coalesce was born in August 2021, with six UK-based organisations merging to better pool their resources and create a team that could compete with Endpoint. The previous roster failed to do so in the ESL Premiership Autumn last year, falling to Endpoint in the semi-finals.

The new roster will feature far more recognisable names than have previously been associated with Coalesce, including ex-fnatic AWPer Jack "⁠Jackinho⁠" Ström Mattsson and Pere "⁠sausol⁠" Solsona Saumell, previously of MAD Lions.

They will link up with Thomas "⁠Thomas⁠" Utting, who previously played for rival organisation Endpoint, former Young Ninjas player Tim "⁠Mann3n⁠" Isak, and Robin "⁠robiin⁠" Sjögren, who most recently featured for Finest. They will be coached by Mihajlo "⁠feedme⁠" Petrović.

feedme gave us some interesting insight on how the new lineup was put together:

"I started building the team with what I believe is the most important piece of the puzzle and that is our IGL robiin. We continued by adding Jackinho, one of the best AWPERS in the entire scene, and the super experienced rifler Thomas, who is the rock of the team."

"After that we needed a player that can perform in the lurk and anchor roles and sausol is incredible at that. For the last piece we needed a young and aggressive rifler, so we acquired the phenomenally talented Mann3n."

Coalesce is:

Jack "⁠Jackinho⁠" Ström Mattsson
Robin "⁠robiin⁠" Sjögren
Tim "⁠Mann3n⁠" Isak
Thomas "⁠Thomas⁠" Utting
Pere "⁠sausol⁠" Solsona Saumell
