Christopher “dexter” Nong Rejoins Grayhound, Marking a Return to Australian Roots

In a move that’s stirring excitement in the Oceanian esports scene, Grayhound Gaming has announced the return of Christopher “⁠dexter⁠” Nong to their Counter-Strike roster.

Dexter, an esteemed IGL, reclaims his position in the team he represented with distinction from 2017 to 2019.

Dexter’s comeback to Grayhound is not just a new signing; it’s a homecoming. After an eventful stint with international teams, including MOUZ and fnatic, the 29-year-old Australian is set to don the Grayhound jersey once more, replacing Simon “⁠Sico⁠” Williams who departed the team earlier this week.

Dexter’s journey since leaving Grayhound has been nothing short of remarkable.

His tenure with Renegades highlighted his prowess, eventually leading to a significant move to Europe to join MOUZ. There, replacing Finn “⁠karrigan⁠” Andersen, he achieved commendable success, including a semi-final placement at the IEM Rio Major 2022 and clinching first place at Flashpoint 3. However, MOUZ’s struggles throughout 2023 led to dexter being replaced by Kamil “⁠siuhy⁠” Szkaradek.

Dexter’s subsequent chapter with fnatic, albeit short-lived, lasted five months before the decision to return to his domestic scene. This move marks the end of a three-year absence from the Australian CS circuit, bringing with it a wealth of international experience and strategic depth.

With Dexter’s return, Grayhound’s roster is poised for a new phase of competitive play.

The team now comprises:

  • Joshua “⁠INS⁠” Potter 
  • Alistair “⁠aliStair⁠” Johnston 
  • Jay “⁠Liazz⁠” Tregillgas
  • Declan “⁠Vexite⁠” Portelli 
  • Christopher “⁠dexter⁠” Nong
  • Erdenetsogt “⁠erkaSt⁠” Gantulga (Coach)

Dexter’s return to Grayhound is a significant boost for the team and a nod to his roots in the Australian esports scene.

His extensive experience at the international level is expected to be a crucial factor in Grayhound’s upcoming competitions. Fans and followers of Grayhound and the Oceanian Counter-Strike scene are eagerly anticipating this renewed partnership and the potential heights it could reach.
