Now, this is something we did not have on our Rostermania bingo card.

In a rather surprising move, following the benching of coldzera, Legacy is set to trial Stewie2K throughout April.

In his own words: ‘Sup bitch!’

Once considered NA’s brightest star, Stewie’s journey has been a wild ride: He won NA’s first Major with Cloud9 on home turf, shared the stage with Brazilian legends in SK and MIBR, grabbed a Grand Slam and multiple tier-one events with Team Liquid, and ended his first venture in competitive CS with a turbulent period in Evil Geniuses, tainted by controversies and a toxic atmosphere.

With all of that behind him, Stew is now back and hungrier than ever. He has spent the last few months grinding the hell out of FACEIT on Twitch, getting ready for his next opportunity.

Well, it has finally arrived, just not in the way we were expecting. And likely not for Stewie either.

“I look at this Legacy team and I see a lot of young players with a lot of talent and not enough experience. I don’t think there is enough experience and hopefully I can bring that”, Stewie explained in one of his streams.

The move comes after Legacy managed to pulled off a surprisingly strong performance in the Major’s Opening Stage, singlehandedly wrecking pretty much everyone’s Pick’Ems, with wins against FURIA and Apeks.

Please respect our pain, we’re still mourning the Diamond Coin.

coldzera seems to feel like he deserves a better team, as he has been moved to the bench by mutual agreement, with the AWPer now searching for new opportunities and greener pastures.

We can’t help but question Legacy’s decision. Swapping an AWPer for a rifler? Introducing an English-speaking player into a team of 4 Brazilians? It’s certainly a head-scratcher.

Will this turn out to be a NIP management-level decision? Only time will tell.
