Sprout have announced that they have completed the signing of former mousesports and HellRaisers member Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný.

He will step into Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische's shoes after the German sniper left Sprout together with Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne at the end of 2019 to bolster BIG's ranks. In Sprout, he will reunite with Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell and Timo "⁠Spiidi⁠" Richter after a spell together in mousesports between 2016 and 2017.
