EXTREMUM’s new CS:GO roster and competitive plans for 2021
Where will EXTREMUM play?
The newly formed EXTREMUM squad will compete across multiple regions in 2021, starting with European tournaments before heading to North America for crucial RMR (Regional Major Ranking) events. This strategic approach maximizes their chances to qualify for the PGL Stockholm Major while maintaining visibility in both competitive scenes.
European competition provides the toughest early tests for the team, while North American RMR tournaments offer clearer paths to Major qualification.
EXTREMUM CSGO roster breakdown
EXTREMUM’s bold roster move brings together five proven competitors:
- Four members from the disbanded 100 Thieves lineup
- Indonesian star BnTeT from Gen.G
- Experienced coach Kassad from Cloud9’s Colossus project
The organization capitalized on 100 Thieves’ unexpected exit from CS:GO in late 2020, which left their talented Australian core without a home. While Justin ‘jks’ Savage found a spot with compLexity, the remaining players faced uncertainty until EXTREMUM’s January 24 announcement.
Hansel ‘BnTeT’ Ferdinand brings additional firepower as one of Asia’s most accomplished players, with experience at Gen.G and TyLoo. His addition creates an intriguing international dynamic within the squad.

Coach Kassad’s reunion with his former players from both Renegades and 100 Thieves provides crucial continuity. His deep understanding of their strengths and weaknesses could accelerate team development.
Competitive outlook and strategy
EXTREMUM enters 2021 with clear competitive objectives:
- Qualify for the PGL Stockholm Major through RMR tournaments
- Establish themselves in the European competitive circuit
- Leverage BnTeT’s unique skillset to diversify strategies
- Utilize Kassad’s coaching expertise for rapid team cohesion
The team’s hybrid practice approach – preparing for both European tournaments and North American RMR events – presents logistical challenges but offers strategic advantages. They’ll need to adapt quickly to different regional playstyles and meta variations.
Key to their success will be establishing effective communication systems between the Australian core and BnTeT, while Kassad’s tactical guidance helps bridge any cultural or strategic gaps.
