Financially speaking, esport teams aren’t exactly known to be a “sure thing”.
Look at FaZe clan. They seemingly have it all (trophies, youtubers, big collabs) yet currently, sit at a $0,5 stock price, down 20x since they went public less than a year ago. And that’s just one example amongst many of the top teams.
Don’t get us wrong. We love all the organisations out there who are taking big swings to further the scene. And for the most part, we can also see what they’re trying to achieve.
But occasionally, a new org pops up, where can't quite get the plot.
We’re talking about Ambush, a tier 2’ish Danish organisation that’s been around since 2017, shut recently down and has now been revived by a local power utility company, Energive. They’ve decided to invest their money in a roster full of players with turbulent careers at best.
The team is led by Maze. If the name sounds familiar, it might be because it’s the same Maze that left Snax’ “Let us cook” to join Sprout, only to be kicked two days later. But he isn’t the only player that makes us doubt this roster's longevity.
His fellow Dane NaToSaphiX isn’t exactly known for being a player with long stints. Exemplified by the fact he hasn’t had a permanent position on a roster since his one-month stint on Complexity back in 2021.
Usually, this is where we’d mention a star player that might bring the roster up. But we’ll be honest – this roster is just confusing.
suNny of former ENCE and MOUZ fame could’ve been that shining star, but even his career hasn’t been all sunshine as of late (well the past 2 years really).
Why did Ambush decide that this was the squad for them? There are so many rosters looking for a home that have shown more promise. Do they want to be part of the ESL challengers circuit or do they have higher aspirations?
For the player’s sake, we hope that Ambush is their chance to revive their careers and give some of these not-so-youngsters a lifeline.
