According to the announcement post, kory has been released from his contract and placed on free agency. Sangal also revealed that they had benched the Counter-Strike team’s in-game leader, ScrunK, and transfer listed the player.

“As of today, Robin “ScrunK” R?pke & Kornél “kory” Szedlár has been removed from our active CS:GO roster. ScrunK has been moved to the bench and kory has been enter free agency,” Sangal wrote.

“We want to thank both of these amazing players for being part of Sangal legacy and dedication to the team. Wishing them both only the best for the future.”

With ScrunK and kory no longer a part of the active lineup, Sangal currently consists of Max “?PANIX?” Hangebruch, Can “?kyuubii?” Ali, and Caner “?Soulfly?” Kesici.

According to reports, Sangal already have players in mind to complete their lineup and will likely announce new signings in the upcoming weeks.

The news comes following Sangal’s poor performance in recent tournaments. The team, who reached a peak ranking of No. 33 towards the end of last year due to their impressive play, recently dropped past 50th place.

While Sangal notably participated in the IEM Road to Rio Europe RMR, they failed to secure a Major qualification. The team also succeeded in beating BIG, the world No. 15 at the time, during the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown.

Sangal have been unable to produce any impressive showings since then despite numerous changes to their lineup. They recorded poor results in recent online tournaments and were unable to participate in the BLAST Paris Major Europe RMRs.

Sangal notably signed former Bad News Eagles coach Klesti”?stikle-?”Kola earlier this year to boast their performance and added ?PANIX? to their lineup. The changes resulted in minor improvements, leading to Sangal’s recent decision to part ways with ScrunK and kory.

SKADE and 4Glory Esports will make their first steps in the Snow Sweet Snow #1 on Thursday when they clash in the opening fixture of Balkan Group. It will mark the first time these sides will meet on the battlefield and SKADE’s first official match since December when they won the European ESEA Season 35: Premier Relegation.

4Glory Esports is a relatively unknown stack of Balkan CS:GO players, who have yet to make any noise in the competitive scene outside of a top-three finish at the A1 Adria League Season 6. Most recently, they were seen competing in the second and third open qualifiers for the OMEN WGR European Challenge, where they failed to finish above ninth-16th.

Last week SKADE parted ways with their in-game leader Teodor “SPELLAN” Nikolov, which is a huge blow to their chances of solidifying themselves as a competitive second-tier team. Regardless, 4Glory are an amateur team and should not cause the experienced Bulgarian lineup too many issues.

FATE Esports will clash with the former Turkey5 lineup playing under the Sangal Esports banner in what promises to be a very one-sided affair. Sangal are heavily favoured to win, because FATE initiated a complete roster rebuild earlier this month, however, that does not necessarily mean FATE are as weak as the CSGO betting odds suggest.

The Turkish squad enter this match off a five-week-long hiatus, so some ring rust is expected and consequently sloppier gameplay. Even though we are not too high on FATE’s new project, they have some solid pieces, namely their in-game leader Nikolay “niki1” Pantaleev, as well as the ex-BLUEJAYS International duo Ivan “Rock1nG” Stratiev and Ivan “Patrick” Ivanov, who should bring enough to the table to keep this match close. Fate Esports +1.5 maps is paying around the $2.17 mark with the leading esports betting sites.
