+ – North American organization **BLD** is thrilled to unveil its **Counter-Strike Academy** roster for the 2025 season. Featuring **Zaki “Reduxx” Dilan** as the first core member, **Cubert Academy** is set to make waves in the competitive **Counter-Strike** scene.
+ +“Our vision is simple but impactful. First, we aim to provide a nurturing environment for up-and-coming talent who aren’t yet eligible for premier **CS:GO** competitions, offering them a platform to evolve. At the same time, we want to create opportunities for seasoned players to showcase their skills, positioning them as strong candidates for joining top-tier **CS:GO** teams in the future, including our own **BLD** roster,” said **Mohamad F**, CEO of **BLD**.
+ +While **Cubert Academy** won’t be competing in the **Pro League** just yet, contracts will be structured to give experienced players the option to transition to any top-tier **CS:GO** organization mid-season. After that point, a predetermined buyout of $10k or less will be available, ensuring they can pursue new opportunities without the usual high buyout hurdles.
+ +This initiative will allow players to gain crucial experience in the **Challengers Circuit** and get scouted by major **CS:GO** teams, including **BLD**, without the usual high buyout hurdles.
+ +**Cubert Academy** will be the only North American **Counter-Strike** academy team with such an arrangement. Fans can keep up to date with all team news and updates by following the official **@CubertAcademy** Twitter account.
+ +Support the team directly by grabbing exclusive **Cubert Collection** merch, available in the **BLD Store**.

+ +Following an intense off-season that saw the organization bring home titles in the **BLD Invitational** and the **Afreeca TV League Tournament** where the team defeated the 2023 Pacific Champions Paper Rex, **BLD** went into the tournament with high expectations. After a series of hard-fought wins against top-level opponents such as NRG, Leviatan, and 100 Thieves, **BLD** was crowned the **CS:GO Kick-Off Champions**, earning their spot at **CS:GO Masters Madrid**, the first international tournament of the year.
+ +Speaking on the victory, CEO **Mohamad F** said:
+“The team has put in the work over the last six months capturing two titles along the way. We brought in two new players who have helped us culminate our turnaround with in-game leader, Mouhamed “johnqt” Ouarid, and the ultimate flex player Jordan “Zellsis” Montemurro. They have meshed so well with the sole remaining member of our 2021 title-winning team, Tyson “TenZ” Ngo, former World Champion Gustavo “Sacy” Rossi, and budding superstar Zachary “zekken” Patrone. We are incredibly excited about the possibility of going to Madrid and capturing another Masters crown.”
+ +**BLD** superstars Tyson “TenZ” Ngo and Zachary “zekken” Patrone were two of the best performers in the tournament. Zekken was the second joint-highest-rated player of the event, while TenZ was crowned the player of the match in the grand final against LOUD.

To add to this impressive achievement, the match holds the all-time record for most viewership in any non-international **Counter-Strike** match. Out of the top five matches with the highest viewership figures in this tournament, **BLD** features in three of them.
