7AM cross the pond with new team

British organization 7AM have entered NA CS:GO with the signing of Victorum, a squad helmed by Dust2.us alumni Max "SolGoat" Wallace. This new American squad will play alongside 7AM's current British lineup, which notably attended Fragadelphia 17 back in September.

This unusual collaboration came as a result of initial discussions between Victorum's coach, Michael "MaestrO" Bulostin, and 7AM's director, John "WundA" Smith-Howell while the duo were both attending Fragadelphia 17 with their respective teams. What initially started as an opportunity for MaestrO to promote Refrag in Eruope quickly evolved into discussions about 7AM supporting Victorum alongside their British lineup. These talks concluded after Victorum retained their spot in ESL Challenger Season 43 through ECL Season 42 Relegation.

Regarding the signing, WundA told Dust2.us:

From the very start of 7AM we had our sights on not only creating an international brand but a home. A home where everyone is supported and empowered to do what they do best. After taking our UK CS:GO team out to the US earlier this year we knew then that it was the right time to take our brand over into the NA scene.

Victorum are a fantastic team who have the right mindset and ability to really push themselves forward. All of that backed by their head coach who just has a ton of experience. Just like our UK CS:GO team, our NA team will make full use of the Refrag software. We believe this software will play a pivotal role in growing our teams and becoming stronger. From everyone in 7AM we wish the boys the best of luck and cannot wait to see them in action.

MaestrO echoed WundA's sentiments, saying "with 7AM's ambitions to expand internationally, our team is truly honored and thrilled to be selected for this opportunity to represent the organization in this endeavor."

7AM NA consists of:

• Max "SolGoat" Wallace

• Isaac "Izik" Zeigler

• Devin "AtomiK" Ferrell

• Andrew "Drew" Warkentin

• Bradley "Slugy" Kohler

• Michael "MaestrO" Bulostin (Coach)

7AM NA will make their debut tomorrow in ECL Season 43 when they take on Los + oNe in their debut match at 08:00PM.
