The North American Counter-Strike community is buzzing with excitement, as it might just be on the brink of a major comeback story.
During a recent IEM Atlanta 2026 co-stream on May 13, Austin “Cooper” Abadir revealed that a new NA team is forming featuring the ELEAGUE Boston 2018 Major-winning trio of Jake “Stewie2k” Yip, Timothy “autimatic” Ta, and Tyler “Skadoodle” Latham.
The stack will be rounded up by former EG star Vincent “Brehze” Cayonte and former eUnited player Victor “Victor” Wong.
The leak was seemingly sparked by Stewie himself during Cooper’s stream, with the player giving Cooper the green light to share the names while also dropping them in chat himself. More importantly, Stewie confirmed that the roster is being built as an orgless stack, making it clear they’re here to compete and “show yall we aint playin for no money.”
For the younger players out there who may not be familiar with CS history, Stewie2k, autimatic, and Skadoodle were all part of the legendary Cloud9 squad that won the Boston 2018 Major, defeating FaZe Clan and ending over a decade of European dominance in CS Majors.
Since then, the three had gone their separate ways. Autimatic moved through Gen.G before switching to Valorant, where he briefly reunited with Skadoodle on T1 until 2022, when he returned to Counter-Strike. Skadoodle has since been a part of several lower-tier NA projects and streaming endeavors, while Stewie2k remained the most active of the three competitively.
Needless to say, with three Major-winning legends, a proven rifle star in Brehze, and a hungry young talent in Victor, this orgless stack might just have all the ingredients for something special.
