Beasts have had a tough time of it in recent months, first losing their podium placing team to Fragmasters and then their replacements decided to jump ship in favour of Rasta Gaming.

The reason for both of those teams leaving were purely that a better offer was on the table, but it's been a tough blow for the organisation to take given their support of teams in the past. Since losing the former TLR side to Rasta Gaming they have been on the lookout for a new squad to represent them on and offline, and it now appears that team has been found, ironically led by one of the men who put the Beasts name on the radar with a third place finish at i42 last summer, Paul 'msk' Kelly. The Scottish AWP player has been without a team since FMToxic decided to go their separate ways but now has a team and home he feels comfortable in.

Joining him will be a number of ex-teammates from down the years, Jake 'batham' Batham from pigeons, Connor 'RUSE' Mason and Nick 'zeo' Jugjeewon from vsod and finally Andrew 'bash' Christodoulou from Reason Gaming and Neckbeards. The team feel it's too early in their progress to attend the up coming Epic 8 CS:S tournament but will be attending i-series this spring.

Paul 'msk' Kelly said the following to Cadred:

After playing with no organisation for a while, we are happy to announce we will be joining BEASTS. We aren't attending EPICLAN as we feel it is too early for us but we will be attending the next iseries.We've all been in teams together in the past and we hope this one lasts.

We'd like to thank DareD for giving us the opportunity.

Beasts are:
