TALON disbands CS2 roster and exits the discipline

The renowned professional organization TALON has delivered disappointing news to its CS2 fanbase today. After seven months of competing, the club’s management has decided to disband its roster and temporarily exit the discipline.

Official Statement
A few hours ago, an important announcement appeared on TALON’s official social media. In it, team representatives officially declared that the organization is leaving the discipline and releasing its CS2 roster, while also expressing gratitude to the now-former players for their contributions and efforts.

"Today, we made the difficult decision to take a break from CS2 competition. This strategic move comes as a result of a thorough analysis of our ability to provide our players with the best possible conditions for participating in all available tournaments, particularly those crucial for VRS. With these changes, Talon wants to express appreciation to the players and coach who gave their all over the past eight months. Since joining in August 2024, they have put in an immense amount of work, and their contribution to Talon has not gone unnoticed. We thank them for their dedication to the team throughout this journey and wish them all the best."

TALON’s Journey in CS2
Talon Esports first entered the professional CS:GO scene back in 2017 but failed to achieve significant success, leading to their departure from the discipline a year later. When CS2 was officially released, the organization announced its return and, by the end of August 2024, officially unveiled its roster.

TALON's First and Last CS2 Roster:

Jared "HaZR" O'Bree
Aaron "AZR" Ward
Christian "ADDICT" Pendleton
Corey "nettik" Browne
Miłosz "mhL" Knasiak
Daniel "djL" Narancic (Coach)

However, even with this lineup, the team struggled to find success. Throughout 2024, TALON participated in numerous tournaments and qualifiers but failed to achieve significant results. Their victory in the Oceanic Qualifier for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 ultimately led to a 5th-6th place finish in the next stage, preventing them from reaching the Major itself.

After eight months on the professional scene, the team earned only around $200 in winnings and failed to secure any notable placements. Team representatives have stated that they will continue to monitor the discipline and may return in the future.
