Singularity are back with a new team as the Danish organization have signed the Swedish side Gatekeepers until 2019, the owner has told HLTV.org.

Last time we heard from Singularity was at the end of June, when Peter "⁠Inzta⁠" Kragelund, Lucas "⁠Lukki⁠" Pilheden & co. parted ways with the organization to join the ranks of Tricked.

With the signing of the now former Gatekeepers players, Singularity turn their eyes towards Sweden for the first time after previously housing only Danish teams.

The new Singularity team

The Swedish team made their breakthrough in May, when they qualified for GeForce Cup. At the Polish event, they acquitted themselves quite well, knocking PENTA out in the quarter-finals before being defeated by Space Soldiers in the last-four stage.

Recently, Robin "⁠robiin⁠" Sjögren's team managed to win the closed qualifier for Cross Border Esport 2017, a Danish event that will be held from September 8-10, with approximately $15,000 up for grabs.

Contacted by HLTV.org, Singularity CEO Atle Stehouwer explained why they looked for Swedish talent instead of continuing to support Danish teams:

Just as much as things are developing for the better in the Danish esport scene, I really feel the CS:GO scene are in a bad place because of various reasons.

One of the main issues is that many Danish sport clubs are looking to go into esports, and have started to talk directly to players, which should actually be a good thing, but because the sportsclubs have almost no budget for esports they’re hesitating to take action. Their indecisiveness affects almost every team outside of the Danish top 5, because all the semi-pros/ amateurs are getting overwelmed by getting approached by these sportsclubs. Loyalty and cosistency in the danish scene are not really existing at the moment, which is one of the reasons we decided to look outside the Danish scene.

There’s many reasons why I selected to work with this team, one of them is of course that I see a huge potential, and another one being the timing for both parties. I believe these guys have the potential to go all the way, and I’m looking forward to assist the guys on their global journey to the top, and help them overcome all kinds of problems.
