For the first time in their history, Czech organization SINNERS has moved away from an all-Czech and Slovak lineup by signing two international players — Polish rifler Kamil “kisserek” Banak and North Macedonian talent Jordan “stressarN” Manevski. The team is entering a new chapter and will begin a bootcamp in Prague with the updated roster to prepare for the second half of the season.
A Stable Year, But No Breakthrough Yet
In 2025, SINNERS have consistently performed on the tier-2 scene, though a true breakthrough at major international events still eludes them. Their most notable achievements include first-place finishes at Tipsport Cup Spring 2025 and European Pro League Season 24, as well as a 3rd place finish at ESL Challenger League Season 49: Europe.
The team has regularly reached playoffs in online events, finishing 3rd–4th at both Frost and Fire Europe and CCT Season 2 European Series #16, as well as at the recent Galaxy Battle 2025 // Phase 2. However, further progress required a bold move — and the organization responded with a major roster decision.
SINNERS Change Direction with Two Newcomers
After trying out several players during the off-season, SINNERS opted to strengthen the roster with international talent. The first addition is kisserek, who recently won Fragadelphia 19 in Canada with KOLESIE. He was a standout performer in the grand final, recording a 1.26 rating across the series, including 1.37, 1.29, and 1.09 ratings on the three winning maps against M80. His LAN experience also includes appearances at IEM Katowice, ESL Challenger Melbourne, Elisa Masters, and the European RMR for the Shanghai Major.

The second addition is stressarN, the top-ranked North Macedonian player on FACEIT with an ELO of 4247. While less experienced, he’s already made his mark by winning United21 League Season 33 with smooya’s fish123 mix.
A New Spark for SINNERS
These signings could be the boost SINNERS need to reach the next level. kisserek brings valuable LAN experience, an aggressive playstyle, and a winning mentality, while stressarN offers impressive individual mechanics and raw talent. According to SINNERS CEO Milan Hýbl, “The combination of Jordan’s aggression and Kamil’s international experience will give our team the boost we need and give our fans something new to get excited about.”
The team has now entered a bootcamp in Prague, preparing with fresh energy and ambitions for the second half of the year. If the integration goes smoothly, SINNERS could become a serious contender to break into the upper tier of European CS.
