Guild Announces Entry into CSGO and Consulting Partnership with Thorin

Updated:

Esports organisation, Guild, recently decided to venture into CSGO. This has come not long after the Org announced a signing of a Swedish backed Valorant roster. A team that includes former NiP player, William “draken” Sundin. Guild has expanded its British roots by forming a consulting partnership with Duncan “Thorin” Shields. Thorin is known throughout the esports world for his extensive knowledge of various titles, but also for his toxicity that is vocalised through his social media. However, the reputation has is extremely good due to it being co-owned by English football icon, David Beckham.

Although Thorin has a rocky relationship with many of the players in the CSGO landscape, he had a very good understanding of the game and the way a team must work together to win. This is something many Orgs are doing as of late. Cloud9 recently took action by placing Henry “HenryG” Greer in the General Manager role. This helps to grant additional insight into the players they want to form their team. Guild having such strong affiliations with the UK may see the return of beloved AWPer Owen “smooya” Butterfield.

It is difficult to say who Guild will be looking at the form their addition into CSGO. This being said, it’s almost certain they will be looking to compete in Europe. This opens them to a whole array of talent, and even some potential imports from North America with the recent departure of the Australian core from 100Thieves. Talent also reigns from the South Americas with former major winners, MIBR letting go of their core. There is a lot of options for the team and with Thorin claiming it to be better than Cloud9’s recent additions, this should be interesting.
