One of the most decorated French players in Counter-Strike history, Richard “shox” Papillon, has announced his intention to establish a new French CS:GO team with the focus of making it to the biggest stage in CS:GO at the Paris Major later this year. The 30-year-old Frenchman who has several Top 20 placings in HLTV’s World Player Ranking and a Major under his belt, hopes that the French-themed squad will succeed in their approach to the game, which is the style of CS:GO that he believes in.
The French veteran has throughout his career played with some of Counter-Strike’s biggest legends such as Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut and Kenny “KennyS” Schrub, winning trophies in almost every team he’s been playing for. With the rumors circulating regarding a reunion of some of the top players from French Counter-Strike, this might be its very first step.
shox still hasn’t announced who is going to be in the lineup for the new team, as he’s chosen to remain silent until his Twitch stream today at 9pm.
