Where Are Titan and iBUYPOWER Now? CS Legends Revisited

Katowice 2014 stickers have become legendary, but even among them, two stand out in particular. We’re talking, of course, about Titan and iBUYPOWER. But what happened to the teams and their players, and where are they now? Today, the CS.MONEY Blog will talk about that.

Even the most legendary stickers are nothing without a great skin to apply them to. You can buy a bright skin at a low price on our website!

What happened to iBUYPOWER and Titan?

In 2014, these tags were popular, but we haven’t heard anything about them for many years. Team iBUYPOWER fell victim to the infamous match-fixing scandal, as a result of which seven people were banned by Valve — including four players from iBUYPOWER. The team never recovered from the blow, and we haven’t seen Team iBUYPOWER since.

In general, iBUYPOWER is a well-known American gaming PC vendor, active since 1999 to this day. Clearly, that scandal sharply reduced their esports interest, and we can’t blame the company for that.

The situation with Titan is more interesting. In the mid-2010s, this Singaporean organization was active in both CS2 and, for example, Dota 2. The organization even had a Smite roster. Yet Titan ceased to exist rather suddenly. In the organization’s final message, the founder pointed to KQLY’s ban as the turning point after which things spiraled. In reality, it was probably more complex. Still, we got Titan stickers from five different Majors.

Since both clubs have been inactive since the mid-2010s and had significant fan bases (iBP in North America, Titan in France), their stickers with cool logos have become iconic and, in the case of Katowice 2014, very expensive.

Team iBUYPOWER (2014) Players: Where Are They Now?

As mentioned above, several players were banned by Valve, but this wasn’t exactly the same lineup that played in Katowice. So let’s go through each of the five: Skadoodle, DaZeD, AZK, adreN, anger.

Skadoodle avoided a ban and continued his career successfully. He reached his peak by winning the ELEAGUE Boston Major in 2018. After that, Tyler tried to become a superstar in VALORANT, at times playing alongside DaZeD, AZK, and brax. But something didn’t click, and now Skadoodle is a popular streamer with over half a million Twitch followers.

DaZeD and AZK were both banned in the match-fixing scandal and tried to reboot their careers in VALORANT, but neither succeeded. AZK also tried to compete in Overwatch and is currently just streaming. A few days ago, for example, the Canadian played Lies of P.

AdreN left iBUYPOWER right after the Katowice Major and built quite a successful career… as a coach. With him, Team Liquid won the Intel Grand Slam. Most recently, he worked at Nouns Esports — first as a coach, then as general manager. However, on May 1, he left the organization after the team failed to qualify for the Austin Major.

And finally, there was another player — anger. Interestingly, he was involved in the match-fixing scandal, but from the other side. At the time, anger was playing for NetCode Guides, alongside players like fl0m. While fl0m became a very successful streamer, anger’s following is smaller — around 45,000 Twitch followers. He also tried playing VALORANT, but nothing notable came of it.

Titan (2014) Players: Where Are They Now?

At Katowice, Titan finished in 9th–12th place. Back then, the roster included ScreaM, ex6TenZ, NBK-, SmithZz, and Shox.

Let’s start with the one-tap legend. ScreaM was one of the most popular players in Counter-Strike for several years. He was twice ranked in HLTV’s top 10 players of the year. Unfortunately, he never won a Major, though he did play in a semifinal. Among all the players mentioned in this article, ScreaM had the brightest career in VALORANT: a semifinal at the 2021 World Championship, a European split victory, and several years playing alongside his brother, Nivera. Today, ScreaM enjoys the game, streams, and has released his own branded gaming mouse.

Interestingly, ScreaM is currently playing a small CS2 tournament together with SmithZz. After moving to TeamLDLC, SmithZz became a Major champion, and overall, his career was quite successful. He’s still active on the French scene and remains close to it by participating in show events.

Among all the players on that roster, the most successful career arguably belongs to Shox. The Frenchman won two Major titles and also had strong seasons with Team Vitality, G2 Esports, and Team Liquid. These days, Shox is focused on media — for example, last week he released a major interview with apEX.

If NBK- trails Shox in terms of success, it’s not by much. He had a long and active career all the way through the end of CS:GO and continues to play CS2, although without much success. His team, featuring Misutaa and Djoko, is currently looking for an organization. Viewers also saw him as an analyst at BLAST Open Spring 2025.

Finally, let’s talk about Ex6TenZ. The Belgian didn’t have as flashy a career as his former teammates, but his knowledge is just as valuable. In 2024, for example, he coached the VALORANT team Gentle Mates, though they didn’t achieve major results. Ex6TenZ is now seeking a new challenge, and we wish him luck in his future career!
