For the last 21 days, we could follow a number of talents from Sweden, Norway and Denmark on GAMERZ, the new show where contestants have fought to win a pro contract. Team Blue were coached by former professional player SpawN and won in yesterday’s exciting finale.
The new show GAMERZ™, which aims to create new professional CS:GO teams had come to its finale yesterday after three intense weeks where the participants lived and played in the GAMERZ™ house. During their stay, pressure has been tough and the contestants has developed fast through physical tests and training by former great players ins and SpawN as coaches.
Team Blue with team members Dylan ‘DH’ Hamrini, Adam ‘WolfY’ Andersson, Linus ‘Limpone’ Wecksell, Sebastian ‘ensa’ Aas, Jonas ‘Queenix’ Dideriksen and their coach SpawN won GAMERZ’s first Nordic version. The prize, a professional contract, enables the team to continue their journey with coaching and management for another 6 months.
“I’ve been looking forward to working on this project since I first met Monir Eriksson Technical manager and Robert Jönsson Producer in the GAMERZ™ House. A new show format, a new production challenge, and more exposure for the next generation of CS:GO stars were all things that I wanted to be a part of. This first season was awesome! Thanks to everyone who made it possible and tuned in, and I can’t wait for the next season to begin”, says Auguste ‘Semmler’ Massonnat – Host GAMERZ™
