A shocking turn of events has unfolded in the world of esports, leaving fans in disbelief. BOSS, a once-promising team, has suffered a devastating blow, going winless at the Norwegian De_Airport Masters LAN, just days after making a controversial roster change.
On February 20th, BOSS's journey at the De_Airport Masters came to an abrupt end, placing 9th-12th. They struggled against their European rivals, losing every map they played. The tournament, held at the Thon Hotel Oslo Airport, featured 14 teams battling for an $8,000 prize pool. Notable teams like Metizport, Sempe rFi, and the Ninjas in Pyjamas academy team were also in attendance.
BOSS's group stage performance was a mix of losses to Phantom and ReThink, but they still advanced to the playoffs due to a missing team in their group. However, their run ended in the round of twelve, falling 0-2 to AaB.
But here's where it gets controversial... This tournament appearance follows the recent cutting of Gavin "Fruitcupx" Norman, a move made by BOSS amidst poor performances and a challenging transition under their new leader, Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz. With BOSS already committed to these international LANs, they've turned to their current coach and former player, Ben "ben1337" Smith, as a stand-in.
And this is the part most people miss... Despite not winning a single series, BOSS's matches weren't recorded on HLTV due to the early stage of the tournament. This means their VRS rank remains unchanged, providing a glimmer of hope as they continue their quest for VRS points.
Now, BOSS sets their sights on Copenhagen for the Parken Challenger Championship #1, taking place from February 22nd to 24th. Their opening match against 9INE on February 22nd at 07:00 AM will be a crucial test of their resilience and determination.
