ztr loan to end at FOKUS; IGL searches for new squad

FOKUS announced that Erik "⁠ztr⁠" Gustafsson’s loan from GamerLegion is coming to an end after nearly six months.

ztr is now returning to GL, where he will assess his options for the future.

ztr joined FOKUS in February after the German org entered CS. At first, they impressed, winning Urban Riga Open Season 3 and qualifying for PGL Bucharest.

That success didn’t last, though, as FOKUS couldn’t find consistency after a hot start. Most recently, FOKUS were bounced from Super DraculaN Season 1 in the group stage following a second place finish at BC Game Masters Championship Season 2, outlining their up-and-down form this year.

ztr may not be the only piece on the way out, either, as Liquid are reportedly eyeing FOKUS’ Georgi "Jorko" as a potential replacement for AWPer Roland "ultimate" Tomkowiak.

Here is what FOKUS’ lineup will look like after ztr’s departure:

• Sebastian "⁠volt⁠" Maloș

• Georgi "⁠Jorko⁠" Mitev

• Mateo "⁠Matheos⁠" Prišlin

• Matias "⁠Banjo⁠" Kivistö

• Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński (Coach)
