The Frenchman has long been a fan-favorite in CS:GO, representing Team Envy between 2015 and 2017 before his move to G2 in February 2017. His career has been a storied one, from his very peak as the DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015 MVP to his eventual benching from G2\u2019s active roster in March 2021. He\u2019s been competing in CS since 2012 with Source, and has spent nearly a decade competing at the top level. But talks have emerged that signaled kennyS could be on the move to Riot\u2019s tactical shooter. KennyS to stay in CS for now According to reliable leaker Arran \u2018Halo\u2018 Spake, kennyS has been having a trial with Alliance, but isn\u2019t fully committed to making the switch yet.

In response to the Alliance \u2018leak\u2019 being fake, kenny said, \u201cYes it is, Valorant is a great game but I want to grind CS rn.\u201d KennyS\u2019 future has been heavily speculated on, as top teams look to bolster their lineups while there could be tempting opportunities over at the Valorant side of things. As for the team that Kenny was linked to, Alliance, they\u2019re seeing relative success in Valorant so far and are due to play at Valorant Masters from March 12-21. If the CS legend was persuaded to join, the roster will be as follows: Kenny \u2018kennyS\u2019 Schrub &#8211; Enzo \u2018Fearoth\u2019 Mestari &#8211; Niels \u2018luckeRRR\u2019 Jasiek &#8211; Tautvydas \u2018hype\u2019 Paldavicius &#8211; Thomas \u2018kAdavra\u2019 Johner &#8211; Kenny doesn\u2019t sound like he\u2019s on the move just yet.
