Eternal Fire signs MisteM

24-year-old South African esports athlete Gareth "MisteM" Ries has taken over as the new IGL of Eternal Fire's Counter-Strike 2 roster. The official statement was made on the X social media platform.

MisteM's previous team was Young Ninjas, Guy which he played since March of last year, after spending several months on NIP's main roster.
