El1an reportedly joining FORZE alongside 18-year-old talent

It looks like the Russian team has started to make the groundwork for their rebuilding.

According to the renowned CIS insider OverDrive, FORZE has or soon will acquire the former Entropiq AWPer Aleksey “El1an” Gusev. On the Russian squad, he’s expected to replace the already transfer-listed AWPer Aleksandr “zorte” Zagodyrenko.

El1an, who turns 23 years old today, has most recently represented K23 but is more known for his on Entropiq from 2021-2022, after making his breakthrough as one of the most prominent talents in the scene when he was at Winstrike.

OverDrive states in his Twitter post that FORZE will bring in another player by the name of Dmitry “sstiNiX” Khlebnikov. With his modest age of 18 years old, sstiNiX hasn’t played a single minute of higher-tier Counter-Strike and has only featured for lesser-known CIS lineups.

What will the roster look like?

When thinking of FORZE it’s impossible not to think of Andrey “⁠Jerry⁠” Mekhryakov, with the experienced Russian having been a key pillar for the side for nearly six years now dating back to September 2017.

FORZE puts another player on transferlist

However, that may change very soon, as we have seen the in-game leader having been put on the transfer list last month together with Vladislav “⁠Krad⁠” Kravchenko and the already mentioned AWPer zorte.
