The time is running forward. It must be more than 10 years since KZ-Random original team was launched. We felt like it's time to move on and see if we can continue this legacy through the upcoming game that CS:GO is.

I was hesistating for some time, I never was really close to this idea. Getting to know people from the CS:GO community, which is obviously younger and more energetic, persuaded me to continue this direction. Having fun and compete in a teams are two things that I seriously value in KZ.


Without further ado, here is the big addition for the future:


GiimPy [twitch] [Kreedz]

Slumpfy [twitch] [Kreedz]

orbit [twitch] [Kreedz]

GameChaos [twitch] [Kreedz / Mapper]

Fafnir (aka xiyangyang) [Kreedz]

Lami [Kreedz / Administration]


The team will surely expand in the future, we are looking for talented Kreedzers. You can apply via application panel on the website.
Let's see if we can bring some competition into the scene =)

Good luck!
fykseN & KZRA team

Following the regular refreshment of our roster, I am happy to announce our newly accepted members:

ChiChiN as a mapper & Kreedzer: amazing oldschool talent coming from Czech Republic, a country that already produced savage KZRA players fykseN & shooting-star, his amazing recs on xtreme-jumps.eu speak for themselves. He's also a creative guy as a mapper producing astonishing maps. An accomplished player with a great character. Old love never rusts, we are glad that ChiChiN decided to come back once again.

MEEL as a Kreedzer: huge powerhouse coming from Lithuania, a climber that doesn't really need to be presented. His contribution to kz-baltic records list became legendary. His expansion to world recording was certainly turning heads in the past, and it will in the future. MEEL also stood his ground in the recent Spring Cup 2019, finishing in Top 6. Hope on seeing amazing stuff from this gentleman!

Axerial as a Kreedzer: newcomer coming from Bulgaria, following the steps of KZ-Random's climb beast DeeDFTW. A certain approach to climbing opens your way to this very team, and we witnessed talents being sharpened in the past. With maps like jost & jost_ez, previously held by mgD himself, Axerial showed versatility and patience.

blackelf as a moviemaker: One of a kind, young and talented. The name blackelf is now connected with many superlatives, as he quickly became a solid moviemaker with innovative attitude. Walking into the undiscovered waters of unused software, following the legacy of IceVip, blackelf started providing clips and movies of great quality, and will be now collaborating with KZ-Random players within a closer distance.

Welcome aboard boys!

That's about it for the recruitment part, stay tuned for more news!


Cya around,
WOOF.

We haven't updated in a while, so I'd like to post about quite a few things that happened in the horizon of the last few months.


1) Our roster:

It is never an easy thing to do, but I've decided to remove the longest inactive players from our active player list. If any of you feel like going back to being active, contact me and I'll move you back. For now I'd like this team to be consistent of active players only, and I want new players to apply and complete the list for the future.

The applications are always open, you can also contact me through PM or steam.

A newest addition to our roster really pleases me, as jaguar decided to join our team as a mapper. I think that you're all faimiliar with his mapping work across communities, and I'd like to mention his recent achievment. His map kzra_blackpearl placed 2nd in the XJ mapping contest and brought 20€ prize to his account. Congratulations!




2) A new map:

I would love to highlight a map from our mapping king Spider1. He reached out to me and wanted to collaborate on a kz-random mapping project together. His execution of many ideas we had through the mapping process escalated in a map named kzra_coast, which is now officialy released on XJ. Sadly, both maps I've mentioned in this newpost are still n/a and waiting for a run from you guys. Hopefully we will see them before the year ends =).



3) The challenge:

Our offline tournament series has been stopped. The reason is obvious, lacking activity. If we refresh our roster and increase the activity of indiviual players, it's possible that we will bring it back. There is also an idea of moving the whole thing to XJ and continue with Just Beat It there.


4) The changes and expansion on xtreme-jumps.eu:

After a long time, the site has a new CEO. It is a right direction for the whole community and it opens up chances. Don't forget to visit and see what is happening there, I know that many of you guys had a problem with the old CEO and his approach. Congratulations to hoLy and huge thanks for his long term effort.

There is already a discussion about HNS section on XJ. My fellow HNS captain swatter will be following this idea and we might revive and recruit a new HNS team in the nearest future. Stay tuned!

A special thanks to WOOFix for helping me <3, to GoDfreee for being such a consistent beast player that is bringing an insane amount of high quality demos, to surRendi, shooting-star, patchouli, Cupe & MEfro for being great this year.


Thanks for still being with us,
fykseN
