Rogue have become the latest CS:GO organization to sign an academy team, acquiring the core of the ex-Playing Ducks International squad, the Las Vegas-based org announced Sunday.

"I'm super excited about this project; it's something we've had in the works since November 2016," Rogue's CS:GO manager Hampus “Shaabi” Johansson said in a news release. "I'm happy about the roster we've managed to accumulate with big talents on the roster, such as Shadow, along with more experienced players, like Kevve.

"We have a lot of plans for the roster and our expectations are super high for the lineup."

Johansson recently appeared on theScore esports Podcast, first revealing the news of an academy team.

After the core of the lineup parted ways with Playing Ducks in January, they competed under the name GriefMasters alongside Linus "Limpone" Wecksell, who is the brother of Fnatic's Jesper "JW" Wecksell.

The promising lineup have since moved on without Limpone and will now play under the Rogue banner.

“This is an amazing opportunity for my team and I. When Hampus first approached us about the opportunity, we got hyped," team captain Kristian “KriLLe” Ekroth said. "They have explained to us about the plans of the future and we couldn't be happier joining an organization of this caliber. It will help us play at a full-time capacity and develop ourselves as players and individuals.”

Here's what Rogue's academy CS:GO squad looks like:
