Gorilla Gang become self-aware; join Singularity
Gorilla Gang have been signed by Singularity, the Denmark-based organization have announced. The team was formed around six months ago, after the core was released by Etherian, but have gone through a number of changes in that time.
Gorilla Gang have competed in a number of tournaments over the past six months, with their only LAN appearance thus far being a 3rd place finish at Fragadelphia 12. Online, the team's most notable finish is the 3rd-4th place in ESEA MDL Season 28, as well as a 4th place finish in the recent ECS Season 6 Challenger Cup, narrowly missing out on a spot in the main league after losses to AZIO and MIBR. They also secured a spot at the upcoming WESG USA Regional Finals after winning in the first qualifier.
Singularity's new squad are currently sitting in 4th in this season of ESEA MDL with an 8-3 record, including wins against cantwinalan and Vision, and losses to VAULT, Vireo.pro and Bravado.
Atle Stehouwer, CEO of Singularity, said on the acquisition of the players:
Today we can happily announce our new CS:GO Main team, and this time we journey to North America to find our new representation, as we pick up the Gorilla Gang roster to represent the Singularity CS:GO banner.
We completely understand that for many, especially Europeans, the switch from the EU scene to the NA scene seems like a strange move, but for us it makes perfect sense in regards to our long-term business plan.
We have been in talks with the Gorilla Gang team among other teams in USA since March this year, but due to many various factors we didn’t make an agreement back then.
We believe the Gorilla Gang roster has a huge untapped potential, and hopefully our structure, coordination and management will be able to make the talents shine and get to the next level.
You can’t get to the next level as a player if you don’t have proper management and discipline around your game plan, and in Team Singularity we believe that with our knowledge and experiences we can be the game-changer for the roster to reach their potential and make a mark on the scene.
Singularity's roster is as follows:
Joshua "oSee" Ohm- Cameron "hydrex" Kern
- Anthony "Vanity" Malaspina
- Ryan "ryann" Welsh
- Victor "food" Wong
- Jarod "MAC-1" Schneider (coach)
Singularity's first scheduled match under their new organization will be against Excelerate in MDL, at 10 PM EDT on October 24th. Their next LAN appearance will be at the WESG USA Regional Finals, between November 9th-11th at the Santa Anita Racecourse.
