Like many CS:GO players, the whole community knows the state of the market. Unfortunately, we have experienced firsthand what the CS:GO esports scene has turned into.
As TBG, we will now switch to new games that we do not know different and that will bring us excitement. I hope the community will support our decision. I hope our fans will continue to support us in new games.

Thunderbolts Gaming has had many successes in the CS:GO esports scene. The organization’s departure was a great loss for the Turkish CS:GO community. However with the rise of VALORANT, Turkish organizations started to either switch games or completely remove their CS:GO teams.
