FaZe’s least favourite enemy are gone.
We’ve got news on potential cheaters (but probably not), two new orgs in the women’s scene and a reason to stay up late tonight. And tomorrow. And the day after…
The market never stops moving.
This week's main headline belongs to Guild Eagles, as the organization decided to part ways with the entire team. Shortly after, rigoN announced that he would be leaving the orgless squad.
But wait, there’s more. Just hours after rigoN’s announcement, juanflatroo and gxx- also revealed their decision to abandon the team. Bad news, Eagles.
Fun fact: The ex-BNE and then Guild Eagles lineup have played together for 1000 days, battling through a total of 578 maps. The disbandment marks the end of one of the longest-standing teams in CS. End of an era.
Speaking of eras, let’s talk about BIG (said no one, ever). After burning through 10 players in just 12 months due to lackluster results, the team has decided to shake up the coaching ranks. Gob b is leaving the org, and if you get the feeling he’s been there for ages, well, you are right. He co-founded BIG in 2017, having represented the org both as a player and as a coach.
So, what’s the next step for gob b? G2 could probably need him. Just throwing it out there.
NA’s golden child is also making headlines with potential changes on the horizon. With hallzerk’s contract nearing its end, Complexity’s GM refused to say whether the AWPer has signed a new deal or not. “Hopefully, we will have some news very soon about the future of the AWP position on the team,” Graham Pitt teased.
On a (not so) smaller note, Metizport has announced the transfer of susp to another team, along with some of the details behind the move. In their statement, Metiz disclosed that the player was sold “for a 6-digit number with a potential package close to 7 (NOK)”, which translates to nearly 86.000 euros or 93.300 dollars.
Big bucks for the Norwegian club.
ESL Impact is back this weekend with IEM Dallas, and two big teams have two big orgs just in time.
Pigeons, otherwise known as ex-Nigma Galaxy, otherwise known as the best women’s team in the world, have been picked up by Imperial.
You might know this team as the one who won absolutely everything for about three years in the women’s scene, but they’ve recently swapped out their IGL vilga for zAAz, who is widely accepted as one of the founding mothers of the women’s scene.
They recently two finals to NAVI Javelins, though their grasp on the ESL Impact trophy is, as of yet, unwavering - and the removal of any financial and business concerns with being unsigned might put them back in pole position.
In the meantime, TSM have entered the game by signing Shimmer, who were for the most part solidified as the second best team in North America.
This cannot go worse than their main team, anyway.
TSM Shimmer are far less likely to actually win, but have been slowly rising through the ranks and if they were ever going to make a run any time soon, Dallas offers them a pretty big chance. Hometown advantage and a new org - vibes are at an all-time high.
In theory. In practice, being on TSM could just be soul-sucking.
250.000 Dollars and 1 spot at IEM Cologne is up for grabs. 16 teams go in, 1 team comes out.
IEM Dallas starts today, and we’re pumped!
Lots of teams have things to prove: MOUZ need to show they’re #1, FaZe wants to take it back, Vitality has struggled recently, and Heroic has their first event with Degster. Oh, he’s not playing? Never mind that last one.
Degster has encountered visa issues and will be replaced with nicoodoz, because we can’t have NA events without visa issues.
Another team to watch out for is G2.
You've probably already heard us talk about Stewie standing in, but the actual execution is going to be really interesting to watch. Depending on how it plays out, it might even have implications for this roster's future.
The first games start at 19:30 CEST / 12:30pm CT, where you can fraudwatch and hatemaxz G2 vs Falcons.
Enjoy the games. See you Friday morning for a recap.
This is a strange one.
Last night, Krad - who is a pretty respected player, all things considered - came out and called PR a cheater. If you don’t know who PR is, don’t worry. It’s not some new acronym the whippersnappers have cooked up, he’s a MOUZ NXT player.
If you go to the x.com thread linked above, you’ll see some very suspicious clips. Look, we’re not one for calling cheats easily—not unless we’re having a really bad game and the enemies just happen to be German—but these are pretty convincing.
PR is looking down at what one imagines to be his phone, which might have a radar on it. From what we gather, this isn’t entirely uncommon. It might be a bit of a self-report if that was your first thought, mind you.
On one of the clips, he seems to look down at it while planting the bomb before getting off and swinging the angle where one player is about to come out. Very weird.
However… it’s not that simple, and you probably shouldn’t jump to conclusions; even if that’s exactly what we’ve been trying to lead you to.
The MOUZ NXT coach defended his player by telling the world he had a nervous tic that included spamming the CAPS LOCK button, which is something that doesn’t sound wholly unfamiliar. The coach also points out that if he did use it for info, he probably wouldn’t have defused where he could be seen.
Which is… yeah, honestly. Fair enough.
We don’t really know what to think, but it’s usually best to err on the side of caution with these situations and give the kid the benefit of the doubt.
It’d be better to be naive and assume he wasn’t cheating than cruel for bullying a guy with a nervous tic, after all.
