Ghost has made its new roster official, with seven players, ahead of the sixth season of ESL Pro League, which is starting next week.

With a succinct tweet, Ghost has confirmed its roster locked ahead of the team's inaugural ESL Pro League match on Tuesday, in which they are due to face OpTic.

zqkS is expected to take the AWPer role that Wardell left open

Added to the core of the team that qualified for ESL Pro League through the relegation process, Connor "⁠CONNOR93⁠" Glover, Phong "⁠bee⁠" Nguyen, Sebastian "⁠seb⁠" Bucki, and Jason "⁠neptune⁠" Tran—the latter not able to be registered in ESL Pro League yet due to age restrictions—will be three new players: Ronnie "⁠ryx⁠" Bylicki, Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca, and Joshua "⁠sancz⁠" Ballenger.

The last name missing from the lineup that qualified for ESL Pro League is Matthew "⁠WARDELL⁠" Yu, whose future has been speculated to be tied with Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin's Rogue—a team plagued with many of the same issues as Ghost.

With this lineup, Ghost will have to use the core of CONNOR93, bee, and seb while one of the three new additions will have to sit out some Pro League matches.

The full lineup of the team is:

Connor "⁠CONNOR93⁠" Glover
Phong "⁠bee⁠" Nguyen
Sebastian "⁠seb⁠" Bucki
Jason "⁠neptune⁠" Tran
Ronnie "⁠ryx⁠" Bylicki
Joshua "⁠sancz⁠" Ballenger
Caio "⁠zqkS⁠" Fonseca

Probably top 3, seeing as they have 7 players against the 5 of every other team.

Thats because they either dont or just cant. For them its all about beeing first and baiting the shit out of other people. If hltv could just be a normal newssite with normal users....

bee is coach

2017-08-19 19:30

Was a coach, if you look at the Liquipedia page for Ghost hes a backup player. As for their coach i really don't know who will get that job.

2017-08-19 21:23

This is how a team should be. 2 subs all the way for attending tournaments. 2/3 vs 4 training mode. A proper SWAT unit.

2017-08-19 13:35

lmao

2017-08-19 19:28

More like a secret unit for the C.I.A. #NWO :"D

Why do 2 people Wana be a standin. Rather mix up with other players

In football, they have at least 9 players at bench for psychological purposes.

This isn't football. Rather be in low tier than be a standin

What if a player like shroud is choking due to stage-fright or suffering from food poisoning during a tournament, can his match be delayed or carry on playing under heavy stress?

2017-08-19 13:46

By this understanding every team discusses and get a player from another team in case of exegencies. Rather pay a player for a single match instead signing him to warm the bench! There were many times teams use players from another teams.

2017-08-19 13:56

Esports is following the trend music festivals where the population and revenue remains incremental. That's why we see more teams can afford to hire a coach that will decide which lineup is ready to deliver his strategies. You can't mix up the idea of professional gaming with the amateur scene, whereby a friend of 5 plays the game for fun and friendship. Esports organizations are usually rich financially that they can afford to pay whatever is needed to win big tournaments. Hobbit's transfer fee is an example of how rich these esports organizations are today.

"That's why we see more teams can afford to hire a coach that will decide which lineup is ready to deliver his strategies. "- that is the reason where good teams get disband - look at immortals now..

2017-08-19 14:41

Immortals died? Players come and go, just like football. Even the Taz's original 'amateur' lineup disbanded when LoordB & Kuben retired. Did Luminosity Gaming died after Fallen & friends moved to SK? The Brazilians wanted the biggest offer in the market, so they chosen SK. Will Immortals reach the Major finals without a coach? I don't think so.

2017-08-19 14:59

They are getting paid to do shit all 9/10 times

2017-08-19 14:53

More like warming the bench!

2017-08-19 14:56

LMFAO idk why that made me laugh so hard

2017-08-19 17:22

the working culture for Counter Strike will inevitably evolve as more money starts coming in from sponsors. It's like a seller selling his food at a hawker stall, and as the demand soars, he then move into a franchise business to ensure their finances are managed in a more efficient/effective way and also secure a good retirement plan for his investments in the past.

Why do people keep picking up ZQK he's so bad

2017-08-19 13:47

I know, right? He ruined almost every brazilian team he used to play for here in Brazil.

2017-08-19 13:50

He should have a very good conversation with the backstagr ppl, cause mannn he is terrible

2017-08-19 14:57

100000% agree

2017-08-19 20:26

2017-08-19 13:57

Damn, I'm going to miss seeing Wardell play for Ghost :(

finally wardell left from tier18 team

2017-08-19 14:00

ryx deserve better team tbh...

2017-08-19 14:05

I don't follow much of the NA scene, but hes probably here because he had no better offers.

2017-08-19 21:27

probably yea ...

2017-08-19 21:57

He is rumored to be super toxic

2017-08-19 23:52

Heh, I really don't know. XD

2017-08-20 01:23

ez papa emeritus and nameless ghouls

man how zqk getting into those teams.

2017-08-19 14:09

Yeah, dont know how someone can pay for zqk to play csgo, so dumb xD

After 5POWER and immortals made 6-man lineup, there is even more as ghost made an 7-man lineup

2017-08-19 14:17

Zqk will carry this NA team so easyy

2017-08-19 14:19

2017-08-19 16:57

no wardell - no win

2017-08-19 14:30

this is a joke

2017-08-19 14:33

CONNOR93 might be the worst name I have ever seen.

Are you talking shit about CON-CON?

2017-08-19 23:53

YES

2017-08-19 23:54

Shouldve picked up the IBP team and added Mix and WARDELL. Way better roster than this and it would put Swag and DaZeD in Pro Leauge instantly

Sign 7 so that you can change 4 and still keep the spot next season? Hmmmmmmmmm

2017-08-19 15:04

Wow haha, never thought about it that way. XD

2017-08-19 21:28

bee as a coach so it's basically 6 man lineup cuz neptune isn't 16-17 (depending on league)

2017-08-19 15:06

With a S U C Cinct tweet

2017-08-19 15:13

even with 7 they suck

2017-08-19 15:31

I was kinda hoping Neptune would go and play with Rogue

2017-08-19 15:33

MarKE?

2017-08-19 15:38

quality 7 man players LUL

2017-08-19 16:16

yeah ez 7 vs 5. Valve is allowed :)

2017-08-19 16:43

They'd probably still lose against a top3 team

2017-08-19 16:59

Zqks water boy , connor for towels or who?

2017-08-19 16:29

Connor is actually good, sancz can get the towels

2017-08-19 16:41

2017-08-19 16:45

2017-08-19 17:19

Nice new meta 7 vs 5 innovation is now! by Ghost

2017-08-19 17:26

too ez for 7vs5

2017-08-19 17:30

Only Neptune isn't eligible. Starters - zqks, Connor, ryx, sancz, several Coach - bee Age restriction - Neptune So, it's not really a 7 man roster you clowns.
