Rumor: JBa to move to M80

According to unconfirmed reports, 21-year-old American esports athlete Josh "JBa" Barutt will join M80's Counter-Strike 2 roster. HLTV.org reported this, citing its own sources. The club itself has not yet made any official statements regarding this matter.

JBa's previous team was Wildcard, which he represented from November 2023 to November 2025, after which he was moved to the bench, where he remains to this day. In M80's starting five Barutt will replace Jadan "HexT" Postma, who departed the team yesterday due to his contract expiring.

Notably, M80 placed 17th-19th at the recent StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 in Hungary. The roster currently sits 22nd in Valve's world ranking.

 M80 are now:

 Michael "Swisher" Schmid
 Fritz "⁠slaxz-⁠" Dietrich
 Elias "s1n" Stein
 Mason "Lake" Sanderson

 Rory "dephh" Jackson (coach)
