"Dear viewers, welcome to the new stream on Partizan Esports channels!" This is a sentence we have heard over and over again at the beginning of every stream when we watched the Partizan team. Unfortunately, that will no longer be the case, at least for some time.
Very important update regarding our Counter-Strike involvement.

The organization has decided to disband the CS:GO section, or more precisely, put activities in this branch of esports on hold. Partizan cited the difficult economic situation in the world as the reason for this. After the withdrawal of certain investors and sponsors, there simply isn't enough money to continue operating. Partizan, as an organization, tried knocking on various doors, but there were no responses, and this outcome was inevitable.
The players who played for Partizan have been put on the transfer list or benched and are free to choose a new environment. The remaining roster will play together in Season 45 of ESL Challenger and a few other tournaments for which they already have invitations.
Qualifying for ESL Challenger Season 45 is certainly one of the team's biggest achievements. In addition, we can highlight the title in the RES Adriatic League, which sent Partizan to the ESL Conference League, from which they could have reached the ESL Pro League, but they didn't succeed. Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to see the team at LAN events. They were supposed to participate in the ESL Conference, but there were changes at that time. In terms of rankings, Partizan was consistently in the top 60, with their best placement being 44th in the world.
What will happen with c0llins, Rog, Emi, Kaluber, Duplicate, and coach Feed in the future, and whether Partizan will return to this branch of esports remains to be seen. It's certainly a piece of news that saddened us all, but there's always light at the end of the tunnel!
A tough decision, but it doesn't signal the end of our CS:GO project. A big thank you to everybody who was involved in helping our CS:GO team grow to such heights in the past year, we are extremely grateful for you ???????? As of now please continue to support our teams in other... https://t.co/TmYRDWwHuo
