The North American Counter-Strike outfit has locked in replacements for Matthew “d4rty” Paplawskas and Oleksandr “xsany” Bubnov.
Party Astronauts fill out CS2 roster with two signings
Party Astronauts have announced the signing of Austin “Austin” Meadows and Kamron “kmrn” Manii to their Counter-Strike 2 roster.
The North American duo fill the vacant spots left behind by Matthew “d4rty” Paplawskas and Oleksandr “xsany” Bubnov, who recently left the team.
Austin and kmrn are the first new arrivals since Party Astronauts formed their CS2 roster in March with the signing of Ben “ben1337” Smith, Diego “sacrifice” Camacho, d4rty, and the Ukrainian duo Bogdan “ogwizard” Savula and xsany.
The American-Ukrainian mix has not enjoyed much success, failing to win a single tournament over the last three months.
Nor have Party Astronauts had much luck in big-event qualifiers, recently crashing out of NA Revival Series #6 in fifth-sixth and ESL Challenger League Season 49 North America in seventh-eighth.
Shortly after their run through the ESL Challenger League, Party Astronauts waved goodbye to d4rty to BOSS, and on Sunday they released xsany.
Of the two new signings, Austin is the more experienced player, having started his career in 2021 with Cyberstorm.
Over the last four years, he has jumped around North American squads, competing in various regional tournaments, but has not hoisted a trophy since winning ESEA Season 48: Main Division – North America with WICKED in March 2024.
His new teammate, kmrn, joins Party Astronauts from Akimbo Esports, where he has left a mark in a few lesser events over the last year.
Individually, however, kmrn has not managed to impress, averaging a 0.97 rating during his 11-month stay with Akimbo Esports.
Party Astronauts will debut their new roster on Wednesday, June 11, when they face off against Girls kissers in the first round of Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series #2.
