The European mix called Benched Heroes, which features Owen “Smooya” Butterfield on the AWP, may soon play under a new banner and with an organization as backing.

Because according to team member Evgeniy "Aunkere" Karyat, the roster has received an offer from an unidentified British organization to represent them going forward, Aunkere recently said.

- Smooya got contacted by [a] British organization. He and fear talked with them about signing us. In theory, if we will come to an agreement on price, we will be competing under their tag instead of Benched Heroes. They gave us a really good offer, we are still thinking about it. If it will not work out, I will definitely share or at least hint at how much we got offered, but the sum is very good. I'm glad me and fear decided to make this team and such guys got interested in us - Transcript by [link:{"url":"https://escorenews.com/en/csgo/news/37946-smooya-and-aunkere-stack-benched-heroes-is-in-talks-with-british-organization","isNewTab":true,"text":"EscoreNews.com"}].

According to Rodion "Fear" Smyk from Benched Heroes, which also includes Owen “Smooya” Butterfield and Michał “MICHU” Müller, boombl4 declined an invite from the profiled mix because “he was recording a track”.
