Former North American CS:GO players continue to trickle back to the Valve shooter, leaving behind their adventures of competing in Valorant professionally. The latest to join this growing list is Kenneth "koosta" Suen who parted ways with Gen.G Esports' Valorant team a few days back on 18th February, to return to compete in CS:GO alongside Orgless.
The 25-year-old had retired from competitive Counter-Strike last year in January, parting ways with Gen.G's CS:GO team and switching titles within the same organization to compete alongside its Valorant roster.
Koosta leaves Valorant and returns to compete in CS:GO
The talented CS:GO player, koosta, who is proficient with both a rifle and an AWP is ready to compete in Counter-Strike once again, ready to start from the ground up as he joins Orgless.
Koosta will be replacing 23-year-old, Gage "Infinite" Green, as he parts ways with the team just one month after having joined them in January earlier this year. Koosta brings with him tons of experience and increased firepower, adding positively to the project which went public earlier this year.
With koosta coming into the team's active lineup, the Orgless roster currently comprises,
Damian "daps" Steele
Michael "Swisher" Schmid
Marshall "Minus" Sedowicz
Brendan "Bwills" Williams
Kenneth "koosta" Suen
Hunter "Lucid" Tucker - Coach
Dylan "SATURN" Finch - Substitute
In his last 12 months competing in Valorant, koosta was not able to achieve any significant results along with Gen.G Esports. His highest accolade with the team was a third place finish during Valorant Champions Tour North America Stage 1 Masters.
Shifting back to CS:GO, koosta has reunited with daps, having last won the DreamHack Open Anaheim 2020 together with him about two years ago.
In a statement to Dust2.us, Hunter "Lucid" Tucker, Orgless' CS:GO Coach, while talking about the roster move said that Infinite has some stuff in real life that he should figure out before playing full time.
Gage has some health issues that made practicing as much as we wanted difficult. He is going to have it checked out to not have that be an issue anymore but with the Major qualifier coming up in a few weeks it put pressure on us to make a decision with him. With koosta becoming free we felt like it was best to give us more practice time but also give Gage the ability to figure out his health and come back stronger because of it.Hunter "Lucid" Tucker - Statement to Dust2.us
As for daps, the 28-year-old Canadian captain is happy to have koosta onboard as he went on to reveal that "koosta was the best player on Gen.G when I played with him. So it was a no brainer to get him".
