FOKUS Launches CS2 Roster Led by kuben

German esports organization FOKUS has officially announced the launch of its Counter-Strike 2 division. The new project will be led by experienced Polish coach Jakub kuben Gurczynski, who previously worked with ENCE and Virtus.pro. The club revealed the lineup on its page on social network X.

The team captain will be Swedish player Erik ztr Gustafsson, who had been on the bench of GamerLegion since December last year. The updated roster also includes Sebastian “volt” Malos, Georgi “Jorko” Mitev, Mateo “Matheos” Pryslyn, and Matias “Banjo” Kivisto.

Volt previously represented the Bulgarian organization 500, while Matheos and Jorko played for CPH Wolves before the club exited the discipline.

Under his leadership, the squad will aim to quickly build a clear game model and establish strong team synergy.
