Tex’s Experience and Impact
Tex is an experienced NA CS:GO player who has competed in both MDL and Mythic Cup. His extensive FPS background brings valuable knowledge and high expectations to Equinox.
“He’s a player that already has a massive amount of skill and game sense, which can be credited to his rich FPS history in CS:GO,” said Equinox competitive director Connor Knudsen. “But, even more importantly, his intangibles set him apart. He communicates effectively, stays positive, and has already made a huge impact on our team’s culture in the short time we’ve trialed him. We believe we’ve struck gold with tex.”
