But the reason this move is not ranked higher is that SK was so good even with fox, that they nearly made the grand final of ELEAGUE Atlanta. SK’s roster is so skilled and capable of making plays that it is hard to say anyone is favored against them going into the next events. In a way, this move is a lot like Astralis’s trade of cajunb for Kjaerbye – it might not make them better right away, but long-term, it is a great move that should definitely pay off in results – aside from the out-of-game issues that led to fnx being replaced so swiftly in the middle of the tournament season. Apparently, the plan is to allow felps to continue his aggressive style of play, with fer scaling up a bit to make room for the youngster on defense, while TACO may be taking on less entry duels in the future as a terrorist to let felps work his magic. One of the worst kept secrets in the scene, SK finally officially added former Immortals star felps into their roster after the major.

But if you are Liquid, picking up stanislaw is a steal – also because it hurts your direct competition in all national qualifiers – and you want to do anything to make EliGE happy while trying to figure out how to make the Counter-Strike experiment into a good team in the post-s1mple era. In fact, the only bright spot in Liquid’s play has been their young star EliGE. The Pimp Experiment™ has not been much of a success, nitr0’s level of play has been mediocre at best, and jdm64 has not been consistent since s1mple’s departure. Unfortunately, Liquid seems like a ship with so many holes that stanislaw is unlikely to plug all of them at once. With Valve’s coaching rule, zews cannot lead the team full-time, and it is entirely possible that stanislaw will be able to learn from the former SK coach to become an even better captain – though there is little visibility to the previous OpTic roster, and what kind of a leader he actually was, aside from doing well in the kills-column. Liquid has lacked leadership since… forever, and stanislaw should be able to bring in just that.
While it does not seem like there are in-game reasons good enough to warrant stanislaw’s choice to leave OpTic, and Hiko is nowadays an underrated player given his roles in Liquid, there is no question he is exactly what the doctor ordered for EliGE’s team.
If you are a North fan, hope that aizy can plug all the holes, but the task will not be easy. If you are North, it is probably a move you make in a vacuum, even if RUBINO does not insist on leaving, but it also carries risk, considering how reliant on tactics and team-play MSL’s most successful team has been. Still, Magisk and k0nfig will face less pressure, a factor that could help the latter rebound after a poor showing at ELEAGUE Atlanta. This move makes sense for North, and adds to their potential… But remains far from the slam dunk many are making it out to be. There is a universe out there where aizy’s North never becomes as successful as RUBINO’s Dignitas, though that would not obviously be entirely aizy’s fault. But RUBINO had his fair share of highlights, played the roles no one else on the team wanted, and was a solid player in clutch situations. There is little doubt aizy is a stronger player individually than RUBINO, and as long as MSL is leading the team, they will need all the incremental skill they can get. On some level it made sense for North to go fully Danish, picking up the player who stood in for RUBINO at WESG’s European Finals last fall, though it does not even begin to explain RUBINO’s rationale for leaving a highly paid and successful team, where he was a contributing member – one who will be missed. In a very surprising move, the lone Norwegian of the former Dignitas team, RUBINO, chose to leave the squad following a disappointing top-eight finish at the ELEAGUE Major. North adds aizy to replace RUBINO, who left This article sets out to rank what I deem as the most relevant of those roster moves. In fact, more than half of the teams from the ELEAGUE Major in Atlanta that finished on Jan.
1, led to the madness of the past two weeks. That, combined with many contracts running out on Jan.
Roster changes always happen at the end of the year, and post-majors, but Valve’s roster lock system forced many teams to stick to their lineup past its expiration date. The past weeks have arguably seen the Counter-Strike scene go through the craziest silly season we have seen to-date in the game’s history.
