The old Trident roster is back with a new coat of paint, although the transfer didn’t happen on good terms.
Team Singularity has launched a new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster by signing the former Trident Gaming lineup. The new Eastern European side includes legendary AWPer Ladislav “GuardiaN” Kovács and veteran in-game leader Denis “seized” Kostin. Along with the new sponsor, seized has publicly accused their previous organization Trident Clan of withholding prize money.
seized developed his tactical mind on Natus Vincere before the s1mple era. Under seized’s direction, the squad earbed a $150,000 second place at MLG Columbus 2016. During that era, Guardian was often considered the scariest AWPer in the world. The two players stuck together on Na’Vi for five years before separating in 2017. A trio of younger Russian riflers rounds out the roster.

Norwi dished out .74 kills per round for the lineup’s fourth-place run. clax’ lurking skills led to a 1.15 KD ratio with 57.3% headshots.
