GODSENT have revealed their re-entry into CS:GO with the signing of SMASH Esports' entire roster.
The Swedish organisation founded by three-time Major champion Markus "pronax" Wallsten ceased operations back in 2018 after selling their lineup.
An announcement in September saw The Final Tribe merge with GODSENT and revive the brand.
All of The Final Tribe is now playing as GODSENT complete with the iconic logo in Dota, Hearthstone and League of Legends.

Rumours had circulated that the SMASH players would indeed be leaving for GODSENT after two months, contrasting with their struggle to find an organisation as NoChance previously.
Coach Jonatan "Devilwalk" Lundberg made it clear that it was the players' decision to walk away from the SMASH organisation rather than a matter of them being released.
They chose to not continue on from their initial three month contract after SMASH had tried to change players without consulting the team according to Tweets by neL.
While announcing that their journey with the NoChance players was over, SMASH stated that they'd be bringing in 'an awesome fresh line-up ... very soon'.
Every story has an ending, even a short one. Today we announce that our journey with the NoChance boys ends. We wish them the best of luck in the future! 👀We have an awesome fresh line-up waiting for you. Announcement coming up very soon👀 any guesses❓ pic.twitter.com/vOtmrPKRGK
