Extra Salt at Funspark ULTI 2021 finals
We’ve been following the CS:GO esports organization Extra Salt for a very long time now, since their roster features South African player Johnny “â JTâ †Theodosiou and coach Tiaan “â T.câ †Coertzen. Last year, Extra Salt placed second at Funspark ULTI Europe Final and this week, they will attempt to make a deep run once again at the Funspark ULTI 2021 finals tournament.
Extra Salt at Funspark finals
With Aran “â Sonicâ ” Groesbeek marked as inactive as he is taking a break from competitive CS:GO and the organization parting ways with Mexican player Edgar “â MarKEâ ” Maldonado, Extra Salt was down to three active players. Josh “â oSeeâ ” Ohm also left for Team Liquid, making it a difficult situation.
Well, never fear. Before FunSpark ULTI 2021 finals, Extra Salt has announced their lineup for the tournament. Michael “â Grimâ ” Wince and Paytyn “â juniorâ ” Johnson has been announced as the two players joining Extra Salt for the tournament. However, it is important to note that these players have not signed with Extra Salt, so this might just be a once-off roster.
The team consists of:
- Johnny “â JTâ ” Theodosiou
- Justin “â FaNgâ ” Coakley
- Ricky “â floppyâ ” Kemery
- Paytyn “â juniorâ ” Johnson
- Michael “â Grimâ ” Wince
