About GRD
Throughout their relatively short history, Grindas has competed in approximately five tournaments. Their strong performance earned them multiple top-three finishes, including two second-place finishes, notably at the OlyBet Sports Bar Baltics Cup (approximately $1600 prize money) and ESEA Intermediate Season 43 (approximately $1200). They've also participated in prestigious events like the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Jönköping and IEM Rio, though without securing a podium finish in these larger competitions. These experiences have provided valuable learning opportunities and contributed to their steady improvement.
Grindas boasts a relatively stable roster, with a total of nine players having represented the team throughout its history. The current lineup features Awwezz (Ažualos Misevičius) and prochas (Tomas Prochorenko), both Lithuanian nationals. Other notable players who have contributed to the team's success include dziugss, MAGILA, and RAFEOL. This consistent core, combined with new additions, has allowed Grindas to develop strong team synergy and tactical understanding.
In terms of regional rankings (Europe), Grindas has fluctuated, reaching a high of 82nd and a low of 203rd. Their ranking has generally improved over time, peaking recently in the top 80s. As of late May 2024, they were ranked 111th, demonstrating a need for continued consistency and high-level performance to maintain a higher position in the competitive landscape. Their absence from recent rankings suggests a period of inactivity or a shift in focus, potentially gearing up for future tournaments.
