New Luxembourg-based esports organisation FWRD has officially launched and revealed its branding and CS:GO roster.

Founded in 2019, the organisation has now officially launched with its first CS:GO team. The all-Dutch launch roster consists of Bernardus “Bernard” Stornebrink,  Bowen “Bowen” Tan, Eneshan “Eneshan” Tez, Steven “Blackie” Groeneveld, and Steven “Clash” Fekken. Several players previously competed for Netherlands-based Asterion.

Discussing FWRD’s launch, CEO Joe Hoffmann said

“We have been working towards this day for the past year and it marks a huge milestone in our esports journey. CS:GO represents every aspect that we like about esports: it is easy to understand, action-packed and fascinating to watch.”

While COO of FWRD, Kevin Hoffmann, added:

“The level of competition is extremely high and it is still continuously increasing day by day, in part due to the incredible depth CS:GO offers; in CS:GO details make the difference between victory and defeat. The consistency, the community and the whole ecosystem around CS:GO announce a bright future for FWRD in this game title.”

AYO.NEWS says:

In the midst of the biggest global health and economic crisis in living memory, to launch a new organisation must take nerves of steel, so we’re already rooting for the FWRD team and wish them every success!

Staying in the Benelux region, last week we reported esports agency META had secured €1 million in a funding round that included Belgian DJs Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, and Lost Frequencies.
