Team Nemesis has unveiled its Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) roster competing in events throughout the remainder of 2025.
The roster representing the organisation features two players from the UK and one from the Netherlands, Poland and Latvia.
The former Into the Breach duo of Thomas ‘Thomas’ Utting and Joey ‘CRUC1AL’ Steusel are no strangers to achieving success, after earning a place at the Playoffs of the BLAST.tv Paris Major in 2023.
James ‘bevve’ Slinn has represented several UK-based esports organisations throughout his playing career, competing for the likes of Viperio and Reason Gaming on CS2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO).
Rounding off the roster are Roberts ‘Frip’ Poļakovs and Dawid ‘tein’ Śladkowski, two young talents that have an opportunity to showcase their skills in international tournaments. Frip is currently ranked sixth in Europe on FACEIT, with an ELO of 4,240.
“This is a long term play — a healthy, balanced lineup with legit experience and young talent stepping out of the booming academy scene,” said Chris ‘Momo’ Evans, Team Nemesis CEO on social media.
As a new roster, Team Nemesis currently has no position on the Valve Regional Standings (VRS). The team needs to compete in five HLTV matches in order to receive a ranking. Once ranked, it can begin climbing the ranks and compete for a space in the top 32.
Following the unveiling of the roster, Team Nemesis has yet to reveal which events its CS2 roster will be competing in.
Team Nemesis In 2025
