Skade has announced that they will be parting ways with the Bulgarian roster after the two sides could not agree on a contract extension. 

The well-known Bulgarian team played under the SKADE banner since 2019. The teams featured players as Aleks "Rainwaker" Petrov, Denislav "dennyslaw" Dimitrov, Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov, Kamen "⁠bubble⁠" Kostadinov, and Simeon "⁠dream3r⁠" Ganev. Doing the time in SKADE the Bulgarian squad peaked at the number 17th in the world ranking. They managed to do this back on April 4, as they won Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 and Pinnacle Cup three beating top teams such as Vitality and the old Copenhagen Flames. 

Since the start of SKADE back in 2019 the organization has achieved three lan top 3 placings as well as changed the lineup six times doing their time with a Bulgarian roster. 

Where the Bulgarian roster will be playing in the future is yet to be decided, but for now, they are all free agents.

The Grand Final of Elisa Invitational Winter 2021 had the two top30 teams of SKADE and HEET going head to head. The teams found themselves in the Grand Finals after knocking out the two top20 teams of Copenhagen Flames, and ENCE in the semi-finals.

The match kicked off on SKADE’s pick of Overpass, a map that the Bulgarians have a 6-1 record on over the last three months.

The T-side of SKADE got off to a great start, going 6-1 before HEET started to show themselves on the map. Even though the French side managed to answer back a little bit, overall, they did not have a lot of success in the opening half, as they were constantly losing opening duels on the B-site. SKADE led by 10-5 at halftime.

The Bulgarians continued their winning ways in the second half as they extended their lead by taking another pistol round, and a conversion. HEET now started showing signs of life, but it was too little too late, as their opponents were reading them very well. It was all said and done after 24 rounds, as “bubble” led his squad to a victory on map 1 at 16-8.

The action continued on HEET’s pick of Dust2, where the Bulgarians once again got off to a great start. This was massively due to an explosive start for “dream3r”, who carried his team to a 5-0 lead. HEET answered back with force, almost equalizing the score before SKADE once again took control of the game and put themselves in a winning position with a 10-5 halftime score.

The Frenchmen took the second half pistol round in convincing fashion, as they still had five people left alive at the end of the round. HEET converted the following anti-eco, but as soon as SKADE got their hands on some rifles they seemed like the strongest team. This led the Bulgarians to map- and match-point at 15-8. The French side was not able to do any more damage and the map went in favor of SKADE at 16-8.

With the win over HEET, the Bulgarians of SKADE are the champions of

NIP won the first round on Ancient with a great CT side, after which they gained a 5-0 lead before FaZe tallied their first. The first half ended 11-4 in favor of NIP and it seemed like the Swedes were going to quickly wrap up the match. In the second half, The Swedish Ninja once again got off to a good start as they grabbed the first four rounds of the half, extending their lead. FaZe found their footing and won four rounds in a row to go up 15-8 on the scoreboard. Unfortunately for FaZe, device and company managed to set up a perfect defense that FaZe couldn’t breakthrough, which meant NIP went to closing the map 16-8.
