The post X6tence cut CS:GO roster following Vodafone Giants deal appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>The acquisition of x6tence is just one of many business deals that Giants Gaming – officially the Vodafone Giants – have made this year following a US $3.3 million investment from the S��nchez C��zar Group, which consists of founder Jos�� Antonio S��nchez C��zar and key shareholders Alejandro Beltran, Gabriel Saenz de Buruaga, Luis Ferrandiz, and Lolito Fern��ndez.
The financial terms of the deal that united two of Spain’s biggest esports organisations were not disclosed to the public.
While the two parties are currently working on integrating x6tence’s staff into their new parent company, the team’s CS:GO roster were not a part of the deal. This leaves Jonathan “JonY BoY” Mu?o, Nicolas “NikoM” Miozzi, Tom��s “tomi” Guardia, Matias “tutehen” Canale, and Mor��s “OMG” Marquez-Cid without a team.
Although x6tence��s CS:GO squad have not won a single tournament since GAME Stadium 2017, the Spanish team showed some promise at the end of May this year when they made it to the semi-finals of ESL Masters Espa?a Season 7. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the roster did not reach the goals that had been set by the organisation.
“With yesterday’s news, we announced that our intention was to return x6tence to where it deserves to be, especially when it comes to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive,” read the announcement on x6tence’s official website.
“After a period of 10 months since the CS: GO first team project began, in which we have not achieved the stated objectives, it has been decided to pause the activity of the roster immediately.”
This deal won’t mark the end of x6tence as a CS:GO team, as Vodafone Giants CEO Jos�� Ram��n D��az said they will continue operating under their own name for the time being. Mr D��az also noted that this acquisition gives his organisation the ability to work with two brands at the same time, which should attract more sponsors and help develop the Spanish esports scene.
“Giants Gaming has been consolidating an unprecedented market leadership position in recent years and we believe that it is time to make a change of pace and go a step further. With the acquisition of the X6tence brand and our incorporation into the project, we kick-start a new stage of hope where we will work like never before to reformulate the rules of esports,” said Mr D��az.
The next step for x6tence is to “restructure the division and redefine new goals and objectives”, with the intention to grow the brand and assemble a team that will represent one of the oldest Spanish esports teams.
This deal also sees x6tence��s League of Legends team, which competes in the Liga de Videojuegos Profesional SuperLiga Orange (LVP SLO), rebranded as Vodafone Giants for the LVP SLO 2020 Summer competition, slated to kick off on Monday, June 15.

X6TENCE VS S2V ESPORTS LVP SLO Spring 2020 BETTING PREVIEW
X6tence and S2V Esports will clash for the second time this split in the opening fixture of Week 7 of the Liga de Videojuegos Profesional Navbox SuperLiga Orange (LVP SLO).
X6tence will enter the Monday��s bout hungry for a win, knowing that a defeat would make their chances of securing a playoffs berth extremely slim, while a win would put them in a very favourable position to advance into the next stage.
In six competitive weeks that have passed in the LVP SLO Spring Split, x6tence produced a mixed bag of results. Although they looked fairly strong against some weaker teams, x6tence struggled to cause any serious damage to the top dogs. They did, however, defeat MAD Lions Madrid in the final match of Week 6.
X6tence started the match against MAD Lions Madrid well and got themselves into an early lead, however, fell behind in the mid-late game, allowing their adversaries to run away with a 4k gold lead, at which point x6tence started to push back.
Approximately 34 minutes into the game, Jordi “Jorx” Pi secured the Elder Drake for his team, which helped them win a crucial team fight, take down Baron and turn the game upside down. After claiming Baron and Elder buff, x6tence did not hesitate to make one final push to secure an upset win, which kept them in the race for the playoffs.

Although Jorx played a crucial role in his team’s success with his sneaky Elder Dragon takedown, it was x6tence��s newest addition to the team – Ernesto “Siler” Casta?eda who put up a standout performance, ending the game with 10/3/3 KDA on Ryze.
The 2019 Iberian Cup semi-finalists have been struggling with their performances throughout the whole season as they only managed to win 23% of their games. S2V will enter Week 7 of the competition with an underwhelming 3-10 record next to their name, which sits them at ninth place in the league standings.
Although one of their wins came against x6tence during Week 3, S2V��s overall form suggests they won��t be able to repeat their success this Monday, as they enter the bout with a disastrous 1-4 run over the course of last two weeks.
Looking back, Sander “Barcode” Laidre and his squad defeated G2 Arctic in their opening fixture of Week 5, to which they added two losses against MAD Lions Madrid and UCAM Esports Club. S2V continued their losing streak into Week 6, where they lost to Team Questo and BCN Squad.
S2V’s bout with BCN was fairly close for the first part of the game, with teams going back and forth, trying to get ahead, but to no avail. That is until the 16th minute when BCN took advantage of S2V’s questionable four-man Rift Harold attempt, which ended badly for Barcode and his men as they lost three of their members on top of handing BCN a free Harold.
From that point onward, it was BCN who took the reins of the match into their hands and slowly increased the lead to a point where S2V had nothing else to do than to watch their Nexus get destroyed. BCN’s bottom lane tandem Nicol��s “Nixerino” Colocho and Adri��n “Homi” Moldes L��pez were the driving force behind BCN’s triumph, while S2V’s bottom lane duo left a lot to be desired.
X6TENCE VS S2V ESPORTS LVP SLO SPRING BETTING PREDICTIONS
Although S2V already defeated x6tence once before this split, it’s hard to side with the team that has failed to show anything noteworthy in the last two competitive weeks. Even their win over G2 Arctic back in Week 5 was not so much a result of S2V’s superior gameplay, but rather G2 Arctic’s misplay at around 30 minute-mark that turned the tides of the match into S2V��s favour.
X6tence have shown much more quality in recent fixtures and considering defeat will not be an option for Jorx and the company, we can expect them to make sparks fly in their rematch with S2V
BetOnline is offering $1.82 on -4.5 kills handicap on x6tence, which seems like the best bet to take here, as S2V tend to make way too many risky plays, which more times than not backfire.
