SINNERS is shaking things up by welcoming two new players from outside their usual Czech and Slovakian pool. Kamil “kisserek” Banak from Poland and Jordan “stressarN” Manevski from Macedonia will join the squad. Honestly, I can’t believe it, SINNERS going international is a pretty big move!
kisserek recently impressed at Fragadelphia 19 in Windsor, Canada, where he led team KOLESIE to victory with a 1.26 rating overall and standout performances during the grand final against M80. He also played at major events, such as IEM Katowice and ESL Challenger Melbourne, showcasing solid LAN experience.
In contrast, Stressar is the less experienced player but comes with his own highlights. Most of his matches came with Macedonian teams and Balkan mixes. He snagged a first-place finish at United21 League Season 33 with fish123, featuring Owen “smooya” Butterfield. Plus, he holds the highest FACEIT elo in Macedonia at 4247. Who knew?
SINNERS’ CEO Milan Hýbl said, “We strongly believe that the combination of Jordan’s aggression and Kamil’s international experience will give our team the boost we need and give our fans something new to get excited about.” They waited to announce until kisserek finished his Canadian tournament, which makes total sense.
Now, the team will start a boot camp in Prague with these two players, preparing for the second half of the year. The current lineup looks like this:
- Max “SHOCK” Kvapil (Czech Republic)
- Sebastian “beastik” Daňo (Czech Republic)
- Peter “Pepo” Ružička (Slovakia)
- Kamil “kisserek” Banak (Poland)
- Jordan “stressarN” Manevski (Macedonia)
The coach is Jakub “Bfull” Kokoška from the Czech Republic. Meanwhile, Tomáš “Tomkeejs” Tomka, Josef “MoriiSko” Maurenc, and Jindřich “ZEDKO” Chyba have been moved to the bench.
Is this the fresh start SINNERS needs? Bringing in international players might just add a new spark to their gameplay. I’m curious how this lineup will gel together during the upcoming matches. Could this be the boost to climb higher in the rankings? We’ll find out soon enough!
What do you think of SINNERS’ new roster?
