Chicken Coop announces today that we are finalizing our roster with the addition of Evindar “Drop” Isik.

Drop joins his former teammates from Take Flyte and REKMEISTER to round out the roster of Chicken Coop going into the 2026 Counter-Strike Season. After a brief trial period, the team settled on this addition. Head of CS2 Operations/Manager IOIO had this to say on the newest addition:

“My decision to move forward with Evin (Drop) was based on his willingness to learn, grow, and be molded into the player we need, along with the added benefit of his firepower. After weighing all options, I felt he was the best overall fit for the team.” – IOIO

Drop briefly separated from his former teammates after the core of jared, Crisp, and Panic joined Chicken Coop earlier this year, along with the return of REKMEISTER to the roster. Drop boasts a solid 1.08 HLTV rating, bringing a great amount of firepower to the lineup. IGL jared shared his thoughts on bringing in Drop from the old lineup:

“Heading into Frag Vegas, I’m honestly just excited to see this new composition competes on LAN. It’s going to be a huge event with a deep field of teams, so for us it’s about trusting our prep, keeping up the energy, and playing our style of CS. From my side as IGL, my job is to keep everyone focused and make sure everyone is prepared. A successful event, with the anticipated level of competition for us would be a Top 8 finish that would show we can perform on LAN vs the best in the region and that we’re moving in the right direction as a team” – jared
