On his broadcast, Richard #shox Papillon announced the formation of a new team with the intention of competing in the BLAST Paris Major. The retired Major winner Edouard #SmithZz Dubourdeaux, three newbies from France, and the French veteran met up again.

Who Will Complete The Puzzle?

The former #Apeks player said that there had been contact with the #Falcons, but he expressed reluctance to reunite with Nathan #NBK Schmitt and Kenny #kennyS Schrub because it had already “been done and redone” and he didn’t think it would be successful in the long run.

Shox also mentioned that LDLC had been in contact, but he decided against joining since he wouldn’t have complete autonomy in such a structured organization, and the 30-year-old is now capable of taking the reins and managing the squad.

In his segment during the presentation stream, SmithZz stated that he is not attempting to resume his playing career in order to come out of retirement, but rather that he has been hired in order to provide additional experience in order to help form the three novices until things are stable and he can transition into a more managerial role.

Shox revealed his “nakama” one by one throughout the stream while donning a One Piece sweatshirt. The team’s hybrid AWPer and one of Sebastien #KRL Perez’s GenOne players, Jeremy #Kursy Gast, was the first to be identified.

Before the final piece of the puzzle, 25-year-old Paul #day0s Niel, who has no prior team experience but is renowned for his prowess on FACEIT, completed the roster’s introduction, it was teenager Ryan #Neityu Aubry’s turn, who spent time with LDLC in 2022.

Boris #flex0r Latry will serve as an assistant coach on the sidelines because he is not taking a full-time position. The 34-year-old has already established himself as a skilled scout in the French scene, having discovered players like Kévin #misutaaa Rabier and Nabil #Nivera Benrlitom, both of whom currently play for Vitality.
