German esports organisation FOKUS has announced its expansion into Counter-Strike 2 esports by signing an international roster.
Former GamerLegion player Erik ‘ztr‘ Gustafsson will captain the roster, which makes its LAN debut at Urban Riga Open 3, taking place from March 23rd to 24th.
Unveiled on social media, the signing of an international line-up moves away from FOKUS’ reported original plan of signing players from the same nation.
According to HLTV, the organisation had originally signed the former ESC Gaming line-up in November 2025, which then attended several Tier 2 tournaments under the Friendly Campers banner.
