CS2 2025: A Strong Start
Sangal is excited to start a new chapter in the world of Counter-Strike. The organization is taking the first step on this exciting journey with a strong roster.
New Counter-Strike 2 Roster;
Danil “danistzz” Roslyakov
Bartosz “bnox” Niebisz
Rasmus “kreaz” Johansson
Raul “Blytz” Gligor
Buğra “Calyx” Arkin
With this new formation, Sangal aims to continue its contributions to the Counter-Strike ecosystem and make a name for himself at the top levels of the professional arena again soon with its new roster.
At the end of 2024, we had to make a difficult decision and we decided to restructure everything in 2025. So for Sangal, 2025 will be a very challenging year to bring another dimension to the story. But we are ready for it stronger than ever. I have full confidence in our coach team and in all the new players joining Sangal. Given where we started 2024, 2025 is promising for us. We have done it and we will do it again. With the changed tournament system, we will open the season with open qualifiers and as we find form, you will see Sangal again in the usual places like in the 2nd half of last year.
Hamza Sönmez, Sangal Gaming Group CEO
Building a team from the ground up is always challenging, especially getting all the pieces to click. But I truly believe we’ve created something really good with this new lineup, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together for 2025.
Jimmy “Jumpy” Berndtsson, Coach, Sangal
I’m excited to introduce our new roster for 2025. While the previous roster has been sold, we’ve assembled a highly promising team with immense potential. I’m confident that this group has what it takes to achieve great things, and I’m looking forward to working with them to make 2025 a successful year for our organization!
