Will probably be replacing arya on LG, with arya moving back to Area 51
From Hazed on CLG
"I just want to say this - PTR helped us tremendously. We truly believe he is the 2nd best awper in NA behind Skadoodle. However, when we said we wanted to explore options that included replacing PTR and myself, he was not happy about it. Things were said that we did not like and burned the bridge with some players. Had he not did what he did, we would still be playing with PTR. However, we have to move on and prove to everyone, like we did before, that we are going to prevail.
PTR is still our friend and will continue to hang out with us in mumble like old times, but we just dont see ourselves playing competitively with him anymore. I truly do wish for the best for Pete."
Pretty stupid imo, they cut the #2 AWPer NA and their team morale booster over a personal issue

I don't really think he was showing up lately; if they can upgrade it could be a good move but I don't know who can awp at an international level besides skadoodle who was taken by C9.
he had like one truly good game and was very inconsistent throughout. and yea like ppl said with NA its skadoodle on a throne and below a lot of average awpers like shahzam and ptr etc.
Honestly the two ways I know how new someone is to the cs scene are when they start giving their opinion on ptr and hiko
If ptr is awesome and hiko is overrated then they don't know enough to formulate a real opinion yet.

twenty2020hiko IS overrated rofl
if someone hasn't been on a real team for months, and is just subbing in for LANs and shit, they aren't going to look their best
the peak that Hiko reached on an individual level has not been matches by any other NA player with the possible exception of swag

"Possible exception"
You mean obvious exception? Then you have Azk/Tarik/shroud etc all better riflers. It's to hikos benefit that he hasn't been on a team cause then we could be even more harsh, this is GENEROUS to hiko. He was BELOW REPLACEMENT in the months leading up to his quitting
Teams compete to land real talents, Hiko's looked like a total joke the past two weeks acting like he's the belle of the ball and being straight ignored

Tarik isn't better than Hiko wtf
AZK and Shroud both had good rifle control and were probably comparable in terms of mechanics, Hiko still brings more to the plate than either have.

Like owl said, if you rate those people above Hiko then you haven't been following the scene for very long
The entire time that coL was coL and not C9, Hiko was the team's best fragger. Hiko was shit in the months before his quitting, true. You know who else was shit in that time? Semphis, sgares, n0thing and shroud. The team as a whole was playing AWFUL.

Hiko has 100% not been straight ignored, he has several offers already and he's declined them himself, and C9 was forced to pay Skadoodle 20k up front to keep him from joining up with Hiko
Ask any top NA player, Hiko is one of the most well-respected players in the scene

I mean,this guy just unironically said Tarik was better than hiko I think it's safe to assume that he doesn't know shit

Pretty stupid imo, they cut the #2 AWPer NA and their team morale booster over a personal issue
hes a good player, sure. Hes a team morale boost, sure. But if you have this much of a issue with the dude to the point of which it couldnt be resolved then both of those things are negated.

How long is the half life on being considered good? Potti was nasty back in the day, I wouldn't recommend him as a pickup today...
And Tarik is a better cs player than hiko. You guys follow cs with the laziest minds if you can't see it, cs is a team game. Hiko cannot create for his team while Tarik consistently has to create for his team.
And you think teams would prefer hiko over shroud/Azk? You and about 0 NA teams

Tarik is better at showering and having better personal hygiene than hiko, but thats about it tho
