Guild Esports has entered a consulting agreement with Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields to develop a ‘top-level’ Counter Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) team, according to a Twitter post from Thorin.
Thorin, a long-time esports journalist who has covered the industry since 2001, has reported on, casted and presented CS:GO competition for many years. Through this arrangement, Guild may well be following the footsteps of North American organisation Cloud 9, which earlier this year signed Henry ‘HenryG’ Greer as its General Manager tasked with creating a star-studded CS:GO roster.
