Endpoint has finalized its roster with the addition of an experienced AWPer and a young talent.
Joey "CRUC1AL" Steusel and Jan "cej0t" Dyl have joined Endpoint to complete their starting lineup, following the departure of AWPer Henrich "sl3nd" Hevesi to GamerLegion and Denis "swicher" Baranov being released.
CRUC1AL, the Dutch AWPer, returns to Endpoint, where he previously played from 2020 to 2022, after Into the Breach disbanded in February. He brings a wealth of experience to the team, having reached the quarter-finals of the BLAST.tv Paris Major with his former team.
Joining him is cej0t, formerly of Sprout, a 17-year-old Polish player who was promoted from the academy to Sprout's main team in late 2023 but was released when the organization ceased operations in March.
Felix "Frøg" Bergeron, Endpoint's coach, commented on the roster changes, stating, "We were only expecting, or perhaps hoping, to change one player, but the transfer market can be quite ruthless. The opportunity arose to bring back CRUC1AL, which allowed us to restore the old core that qualified for Pro League and the RMRs."
He added, "Having a longstanding core is something I think was undervalued in the past, and bringing back Joey has greatly improved the team's chemistry and sense of identity."
Regarding cej0t, Frøg mentioned, "We were looking for either a vocal veteran or another hard-working youngster, and we were fortunate to find someone like cej0t. His mechanics are impressive, and his game sense, especially at just 17, is exceptional."
The duo has already played under the leadership of Max "MiGHTYMAX" Heath, achieving consecutive victories over EYEBALLERS and SINNERS in the Elisa Invitational Swiss group stage. Their next match is against ENCE Academy in the Hellcase Cup on April 30.
Neil "NeiL_M" Murphy has also joined the team as the manager to support MiGHTYMAX and Frøg, helping with additional responsibilities and further structuring the team.
Endpoint's roster now consists of Max "MiGHTYMAX" Heath, Kia "Surreal" Man, Oscar "AZUWU" Bell, Joey "CRUC1AL" Steusel, and Jan "cej0t" Dyl, with Felix "Frøg" Bergeron as coach.
