The FATE organization has announced the signing of three new players, Ivan “Rock1nG” Stratiev, Milen “milky” Iliev, and Kaloyan “shaiK” Borisov, to complete their roster.
Ever since Yanko “blocker” Panov decided to step down at the end of October to take a break, the Bulgarian roster had been incomplete and just over the next two months, FATE went on to bench Martin “mar” Kuyumdjiev in November and parted ways with the head coach and Deyvid “h4rn” Benchev in January.
“I’m really happy to have the opportunity to prove myself once again, big thanks to niki1 for approaching me. It’s time to focus now, there’s work that needs to be done and practice is essential, there’s a lot of experience and talent in this team, so it’s time to get to work.” Rock1nG said in an interview with HLTV.org.
FATE and their three new players will make its debut in the ESEA Premier event, in which the organization managed to maintain its spot after dropping to the Relegation tournament last season. The event will start on January 18.
FATE line-up now:
Milen “milky” Iliev
Nikolay “niki1” Pantaleev
Ivan “Patrick” Ivanov
Kaloyan “shaiK” Borisov
Ivan “Rock1nG” Stratiev
We’ve met many a time on the battlefield; today, we join forces ⚔️
