Australia's strongest squad was left without organization.
A storm has erupted in the Australian eSports community as Grayhound Gaming announced they are parting ways with their Counter-Strike roster. The news came as a shock to everyone, marking the end of an era for the organization that had been home to the strongest CS2 team in the region for seven years.
The disbandment of the team became known after a touching statement from the organization, in which it recognizes the team's achievements and expresses its gratitude to it. They quote:
After such a monumentally long journey from such a small and forgotten corner of this world, the dream has unfortunately come to an end.
Founded in 2017, Grayhound's CS2 division has risen to fame over the years, constantly being among the top contenders in the region. The team has achieved numerous achievements, including victories in prestigious tournaments such as IEM Sydney 2018 and ESL Pro League Season 14 Asia.
The team has also represented Australia on the international stage, competing in major tournaments such as PGL Major Krakow 2017 and IEM Katowice 2023. Through their tenacity and talent, they have gained a loyal fan base and have become an icon of Australian CS2.
The reasons for the team's disbandment have not been disclosed. However, the organization assured that it will continue to support the CS2 scene in the future.
The future of the players also remains uncertain. However, given their talent and experience, they will likely be of interest to other organizations looking to bolster their rosters. The CS2 community is eagerly awaiting news of their next steps.
This disbandment marks a turning point in the history of Australian CS2. While the future of Grayhound's CS2 division remains uncertain, the legacy of the team and its players will no doubt inspire future generations of Australian esports players.
