Bad News Eagles, a Kosovar orgless CS:GO team that attended the two Majors of 2022, will most likely play under the GODSENT banner in 2023, according to a report by Portuguese outlet Fraglider.
Sener “SENER1” Mahmuti, Genc “gxx-” Kolgeci, Flatron “juanflatroo” Halimi, Dionis “sinnopsyy” Budeci, and Rigon Gashi will have the support of an esports organization for the first time since they formed the Bad News Eagles tag in February 2022 after leaving Team BL1NK, should the move to GODSENT come to fruition.

GODSENT has been absent from the professional CS:GO scene since June 2022 when it sold the Brazilian players TACO, Bruno “latto” Rebelatto, and Eduardo “dumau” Wolkmer, alongside the coaching and managing staff, to 00 Nation. The organization also sold felps to Fluxo in August and Bruno “b4rtiN” Câmara to 00 Nation’s VALORANT team in December and is effectively without any players or coach at the moment.

GODSENT housed players such as KRIMZ, JW, flusha, Lekr0, dennis, and Brollan over the course of multiple lineups in past years.
