Gentle Mates have jumped into Counter-Strike 2 by signing Iberian Soul, a Spanish squad built from players who’ve passed through KOI, MAD Lions, and Ninjas in Pyjamas. The new roster will make its debut today at 5:30 PM BST on Squeezie’s Twitch – the timing is tight and the expectations are high.
Gentle Mates confirmed their expansion into Counter-Strike 2 with a short announcement video. The organisation then shared the team’s details via another post listing the full lineup – you can see the inaugural roster on X.

“Happiness is the only thing that comes to mind right now, very happy to be able to be part of this great club and back with all my teammates, this is just getting started,” wrote Martinez on X.
Iberian Soul have been a fixture of the tier-two European CS2 scene since January and have some silverware to show for it, including wins at Roman Imperium Cup I and EPIC.LAN 45.
The roster’s first match under the Gentle Mates badge will take place today at 5:30 PM BST on Squeezie’s official Twitch channel.
The organisation launched in 2023, founded by former Team Vitality pro Kevin ‘BroKeN’ Georges, Vitality co-founder Corentin ‘Gotaga’ Houssein, and French creator Lucas ‘Squeezie’ Hauchard. They’ve since built teams across Rocket League, League of Legends, and Age of Empires, plus several FPS squads in Call of Duty, VALORANT, and Fortnite.
