Asian org Talon Esports heads south, signs AZR-led Oceanic CS2 squad

Talon Esports, known for its presence in Southeast Asia in premier esports League of Legends and VALORANT, is expanding into Counter-Strike 2—and heading down under in the process. Talon has recruited Aussie Major semifinalist Aaron “AZR” Ward to lead the new squad, which combines talent from Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

A combination of youth and experience will lead Talon in its first CS2 venture with the squad officially announced on Aug. 2—although rumors of the squad’s arrival on the scene had been hinted at for nearly a month. AZR, who last recorded a match on the server a year ago for the doomed Sprout project, will captain the team, consisting of Jared “HazR” O’Bree, Christian “ADDICT” Pendleton, Corey “nettik” Browne, and Miłosz “mhL” Knasiak.
