Their achievement comes two weeks after Endpoint was awarded Organisation of the Year at the 2020 UK Esports Awards.
Endpoint have won a string of ESL UK & Ireland Premierships over the past few years.
Two months ago, British CSGO player Thomas ‘Thomas’ Utting left Endpoint to join Team Envy, prompting the org to bring Israeli player Shahar ‘flameZ’ Shushan on board.
Other players on Endpoint’s CSGO roster include Brits Kia ‘Surreal’ Man and Max ‘MiGHTYMAX’ Heath, Dutch player Joey ‘CRUC1AL’ Steusel and Swede Robin ‘robiin’ Sjögren. Their coach is Ross ‘RossR’ Rooney from Ireland.
Endpoint have had several UK players represent them over the years, including smooya, Luzuh, pickles, Esio, Immi and more.
Endpoint rebranded in early 2020.
