Denial Esports hints at acquisition of fan-favorite CS:GO team Denial Esports \/ ValveThe Dreamhack Winter Open 2018 created a lot of storylines in CS:GO back in February, but the biggest news came from an unknown South African team who took second place at the tournament and might have just attracted a major sponsor. Bravado is an esports organization that touts a \u201czero-to-hero\u201d approach to its teams, and their Project Destiny squad that earned a top 2 finish at an international event have been struggling to fund its CS:GO team to more international tourneys, but that might change soon. Denial Esports has been at the forefront of conversation since management transferred over to CEO of MoneyMatches Zach Smith and Patrick \u2018BlackBeardAP\u2019 E. Smith Sr. earlier in December 2018, and the org along with its management has been tweeting hints of entering the CS:GO arena. I said I\u2019d never pick up a CSGO team but damn what an inspiring story. We will be reaching out to them. https:\/\/t.co\/GCGXMy8bSL \u2014 Xac (@ZachtehCEO) December 27, 2018 It all started when Smith was tweeted the story and call-to-action for Bravado\u2019s funding obstacle. Smith was touched by the story and said he would be in contact with the team. The tweet was soon followed by another that all but confirms Smith\u2019s intentions for Project destiny. \u201cI apologize in advance if we pick up a CSGO team and all the old shit I talked on CSGO still stands,\u201d Smith said. I apologize in advance if we pick up a CSGO team and all the old shit I talked on CSGO still stands. \u2014 Xac (@ZachtehCEO) December 27, 2018 The \u201cold shit\u201d Smith refers to was his public denouncement of skin gambling that ran rampant in the early days of CS:GO, but something about Bravado\u2019s team must have pushed Smith past that caveat. Without an official announcement Project Destiny\u2019s future is still unsecured, but there are strong indications that it won\u2019t be the last time the South Africans compete on the world stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
