“This is the most ambitious attempt ever made to create a new, international CS:GO team from scratch. At the same time, the show is fulfilling what most young people playing CS:GO consider a unreachable dream, which feels great. This kind of possibility was unthinkable when I first started my career. So, I really hope the players will step up to the challenge, because I am going to make their next few weeks the toughest they have ever experienced, says ‘GAMERZ’ coach and CS legend Abdisamad ’SpawN’ Mohamed.”
The custom built ‘GAMERZ House’ is equipped with everything a pro player could ever need. But the show is more than just gaming.
