Jibraeel, although a former member of bonk, was only reunited with his teammates in January 2021.
Guild went on to become one of the most consistent teams in Europe, only going lower than sixth in the VLR.gg rankings once and participating in every major regional VCT event. The last time the previous team played was in the EMEA Last Chance Qualifier, where they finished second after losing to Team Liquid in the all-important grand final.
Guild now welcome a multinational trio that consists of Jose "koldamenta" Luis Aranguren, Nikita "trexx" Cherednichenko, and Russel "Russ" Mendes. They'll replace Malkolm "bonkar" Rench, Yacine "Yacine" Laghmari, and William "draken" Sundin, who were released in late November after a month of inactivity.
After leading G2 Esports to a semifinals finish in Masters: Berlin and a third-place finish in the EMEA LCQ, koldamenta will now pick up the mantle of IGL under Guild's colors. Russ hails from TENSTAR, who he spent all of 2021 with, becoming one of the biggest revelations of 2021 alongside his squad after their surprise fourth-place finish in Stage 3: Challengers 2.
