defusekids have completed the signing of an international CS:GO roster, the organisation have announced.

After a long hiatus, defusekids, one of the most famous names in the Benelux esports scene, returned to activity at the start of the year with a promising Dutch/Belgian roster.

At Copenhagen Games, the team successfully made it through the BYOC qualifier, but then they were eliminated in the group stage following two straight defeats against dreamchasers and PRIDE. The players ended up going their separate ways a few weeks later following an unsuccessful qualification campaign for the Europe Minor.

From the previous roster, only Fréderic "⁠Monu⁠" Dewever and Joey "⁠CRUC1AL⁠" Steusel remain. Viktor "⁠flashie⁠" Tamás Bea, who is known for his time with Orgless and Escape, takes up the in-game leader position, with former Orbit duo Alexander "⁠SKYTTEN⁠" Carlsson and Fredrik "⁠roque⁠" Honak completing the roster.

"I always like a challenge and this is an opportunity to build something good," flashie told HLTV.org. "I am positive we will work a lot of things out in the near future and get some good results early on. "We will also compete in every competition available for us! We have the defusekids organisation, who allow us to focus on our growth as a team and on our in-game ability. "We would like to thank them for this opportunity, their trust, and support."
