“Is there another CS:GO pro from Switzerland?” asked Flatron “juanflatroo” Halimi on HLTV a few days ago. A fair question, because the only answer would be Mathieu “Maniac” Quiquerez. And his primetime was a few years ago now.

No, juanflatroo is right: Rigon “rigoN” Gashi is the only really successful Counter-Strike player Switzerland has to offer at the moment.

Flatron and Rigon have both been playing since February 2022 in the then freshly founded team Bad News Eagles, a Kosovar CS:GO team. Within just two months, they made it from the Eastern European regional leagues to the big international stage. Last weekend, they achieved the big coup.

In the regional ranking tournament of the organizers PGL, they played their way into the top 8, which in turn guarantees them a place in the next major tournament in Antwerp, which will take place in May.
