SkinRave Completes Signing of BLUEJAYS Roster

SkinRave Completes Signing of BLUEJAYS Roster

SkinRave has officially acquired the former BLUEJAYS lineup, featuring standout AWPer Paytyn “junior” Johnson, along with Matthew “Cryptic” Whitmore, Anthony “CLASIA” Kearney, Maks “laxiee” Andryei, and Canadian stand‑in Colby “Walco” Walsh. The roster will be coached by Tommy “Axed” Ryan.

Major Implications:

The team currently sits at #45 in the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS) and ranks 8th in the Americas, securing them a Stage 1 invitation to the upcoming Starladder Budapest Major.

This move positions SkinRave solidly in Major contention and marks the organization’s entry into the CS2 esports arena.

BLUEJAYS' Recent Performance:

Prior to the transfer, BLUEJAYS demonstrated strong form after the summer break:

They reached the semi-final stages in CCT NA S1 and PrizePicks NA Revival S8.

They were runners‑up in ESL Challenger League Season 50 NA Cup 1.

They claimed victory at the Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series 3.

Per Dust2.us coverage, the roster has been assembled since June, with “junior,” “Cryptic,” and “CLASIA” joining on June 7, and “laxiee” on July 17. “freshie” was removed from the lineup on August 1, after which “Walco” stepped in as a stand‑in. The move to SkinRave came via agreement on September 3.

Upcoming Debut:

SkinRave is scheduled to make its debut with this new roster at the $10,000 Fragadelphia Fragville tournament over the coming weekend.

Additional Context & Background

BLUEJAYS’ Roster Changes Earlier in 2025:

BLUEJAYS went through a comprehensive reshuffle earlier this year:

They parted ways with nearly the entire roster in May, retaining only freshie, as they aimed to rebuild around him.

On June 7, the organization signed junior, Cryptic, and CLASIA — marking a new phase for the team.

The team continued refining its lineup through the summer, leading up to the signing by SkinRave.

Organizational Profiles:

• SkinRave — a Cypriot CS2 skins marketplace and gambling website — has just entered the competitive esports scene. Prior to this, SkinRave had no recorded match history, events played, or achievements listed.

• BLUEJAYS — a German esports organization — had previously featured various rosters, including a Bulgarian lineup in 2020 and more recently a North American squad under the BOSS tag earlier in 2025
