Project Eversio Gives CS:GO Another Shot
Tuesday 28th November 2017, 03:50 | written by: Gabriel SciberrasRemember Project Eversio's CS:GO squad roughly three years ago? Young and enthusiastic Call of Duty 4 professionals who recognised the dying scene and swapped things up by converting to CS:GO as a whole squad. Their success was incredible and they immediately rose to greatness as they maintained a top-tier finish. Sadly, Maltese CS:GO in 2014 had no future, no wind under its wings and the team quit the scene. Yet, here they are once again, determined to reclaim their top-tier position.
Project Eversio look to blow into the embers of the undying franchise that is Counter-Strike. Of course, to do so, they need a squad of five of the best local players available. As the team were keenly taking notes in this year's Nova Series #1, they recognised the certain potential in Global5, the eventual winners of the tournament. After revising their notes, the organisation feels it's time to sign their roster; a roster which has successfully won the Malta Cyber Series #2, AOC Malta Cyber Series: Masters and the Quickfire Nova Series #1 this September. Let's see who's on the roster:
We'll start by mentioning the local youth which have a strong presence on the squad; namely 18 year old "Powess" and his teammate "Kyle". Claude "Powess" Pisani plays the role of the ingame leader, having lead his team to all the victories mentioned earlier. The player has been following his dreams ever since his teen years began and he personifies determination. "Kyle" Gatt, his tag being his first name, is the team's primary AWPer who has stood alongside "Powess" for the longest time, guarding him with a fantastic shot and ingame intelligence.
Continuing with the team, Mathias "raz" Johansen is a veteran Norwegian player who has played at the highest level of competition, readily helping his team with much needed advice and likes a challenge. Out of all his teammates, he seems to be the most involved on social platforms. Speaking of Norway, Semen "Eneko" Ovsyanik originates a little to the east in Russia. I'm sure he's glad he never found himself in a local classroom. For the most part, he's been drifting around the local scene as he struggles to find his place; but Project Eversio are changing that right now.
Rounding off the team is Keith "Alpp" Vanhear who is of Maltese nationality. More importantly, he formed part of PE's original 2014 lineup which we mentioned earlier. Since then, he's been thriving; representing Malta in World Championships twice and enjoying European competition. We're sure he feels right at home.
Before we end the article with wishes for the roster's success, a contradiction needs to be highlight. How exactly do Project Eversio intend to revive the scene by simply purchasing the most dominant team? The more common approach would be to form a new team to spark competition.
