Torpedo Gaming have announced that former SK Gaming star Johan "face" Klasson has been hired to coach their CS:GO squad.

Back in August, Torpedo Gaming, a UK-based organisation, ventured into the Counter-Strike scene with the acquisition of the Swedish team known as UNLEASHED, who have had some good results in online tournaments in recent months.

Last weekend, the team were seen in action at ASUS ROG Nordic with David "⁠Blote⁠" Ekdahl as a stand-in for John "⁠Awien⁠" Waltersson, finishing 3rd-4th following a 0-2 defeat against MIXCAT in the semi-finals.
