Popular CS:GO analyst Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields announced a flabbergasting update via Twitter. Thorin has reached an agreement with David Beckham’s Guild Esports to help the organization build a CS:GO roster from scratch.
The agreement came when the British organization announced its decision to step into CS:GO. Guild came into existence in 2019 and already has a Rocket League, FIFA, and a Valorant roster.
Thorin has been a venerated esports journalist since 2001. He is also an indispensable member of the CS:GO community, emanating years of hard work and experience.

By bringing Thorin into their fold, Guild has followed in the footsteps of Cloud9, who brought in HenryG after announcing a complete roster revamp.
Cloud9 hired HenryG as a General Manager because of his extensive knowledge of the game. He has made some intriguing decisions since then in the hope to build an invincible roster after a run of disappointing performances.
It is possible that Guild Esports might look forward to competing in Europe. However, it is also possible that the British organization might be eyeing North American talent after 100Thieves departed. Several South American player cards are also on the table for Guild to choose from.
