SkinRave add MarKE as new fifth

SkinRave have rounded out their CS2 roster with the addition of Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado, the organization announced last night, September 22nd.

The Mexican rifler had been plying his trade with the orgless Getting Info team this year, and now he'll replace Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney in SkinRave, who was let go after showing poor behavior in practice, among other things.

MarKE is a true NA veteran at this point in his career, having played for many tier-two teams since 2016.

He's most known for his stint with Chaos, which he helped win IEM Beijing North America and DreamHack Masters Winter NA in 2020, and for his stint with Extra Salt in 2021.

MarKE boasts a 1.16 rating in 2025 after 175 maps played. For comparison, CLASIA averaged a 1.08 rating in 2025 after 181 maps.

The Mexican veteran joins SkinRave at a crucial time for the organization and the squad, as they're fighting for a spot in the StarLadder Budapest 2025 Major.

SkinRave are currently holding on to the last invite for the Americas region, according to the VRS on September 23rd. In the latest predictions brought by the self-described VRS expert Finn "Mischief" Farrer, SkinRave have a 32.5% chance of making the Major.

SkinRave are now:

• Paytyn "junior" Johnson

• Matthew "Cryptic" Whitmore

• Maks "laxiee" Andryei

• Colby "Walco" Walsh

• Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado

• Tommy "Axed" Ryan (Coach)

• Anthony "CLASIA" Kearney (Inactive)
