If you're confused about the GuardiaN to FaZe move, Allu's contract ends in mid August, so it seems likely that he just isn't resigning and will be going elsewhere.

Read yesterday that mouz was planning on kicking denis and loWel to get suNNy and STYKO instead if I recall correctly
ANGE1 would be a huge pickup for Na'Vi, read some rumors about electronic joining Na'Vi as well. I love shuffles.

wtf ninjad
I don't really know if I like the idea of guardian to faze
He's probably a better AWPer than allu, but his gameplay has always relied on having an AWP, whereas allu is a good rifler, has amazing pistols, and suits his role on faze quite well
I suppose if anybody can integrate guardian into a roster like faze, it would be karrigan
Also wtf olof to faze lmao I'll believe it when I see it

Guardian is good without the awp
Guardian is good without the awp
He's good without the AWP but look at how many kills he gets with it vs without it, and AWPers such as device and allu have far more rifle SMG and pistol kills
For big events in 2017, allu, device, KennyS, and fallen have 52, 47, 51, and 53% of their kills with snipers
Guardian has 63%
You tell me what that means

guardian was a lot better at rifling pre wrist injury it would seem

I kinda felt like Allu was only really world class on mirage, on other maps he kinda didn't really perform with the best awpers. Guardian might rely on the AWP a bit more than most but I feel that it's not really going to harm FaZe, they have Niko who is one of the best riflers/players around at the moment and Rain is incredibly reliable too.
Having said that they were really doing well before the major, I kinda feel like having a roster that sticks together and works out the issues instead of just replacing them is a lot better. But with the money going around in CSGO I guess that isn't much of an option for many.

I agree with sticking together, but I don't think either allu or kioshima have ever really played terribly well since joining the team. Allu like you said had his moments but having more consistent decent players instead of the often wobbly duo would make things work a lot more. Rain is already on and off, don't need more than one of those (but with rain moreso his off is an ok peformance and his on is blowing a map away).
Guardian's talent is still insane from what I saw of him at cologne so I think with faze he'll do alright, might still hurt not having the team play around you like navi did before s1mple came. If the olof rumours are true too then I'll be floored

Doesn't surprise me that they didn't get electronic, but it will be disappointing now if F3 doesn't actually use his potential

Building a team for 8 months and winning a major is way further than id go to have an ex take me back

i still think gambit -dosia +seized would be a better top cis team, adren and hobbit much much better form nowdays than flamie and edward, mou much worse than simple but he can inconsistently play top level cs, seized might be one of the best supports in the game again would fix many of gambits problems

Bit of a shame imo, the last couple months of CS were really exciting, with a lot of parity between top teams, and it'd suck to see all the good talent get consolidated into a handful of teams again.

Zeus had originally no intention of leaving Gambit, he left because the rest of the team decided to kick their coach Kane and Zeus basically said he'd go with him if they didn't reconsider their decision. So he did and joined Na'Vi again along with Kane who will replace their latest coach.
You can read the full interview here, I found it pretty interesting : https://www.hltv.org/news/21203/zeus-i-think-i-did-everything-in-my-power-to-save-the-roster

extremely underwhelming roster move from hellraisers
They used to be the team that showed up to a qualifier and everyone would say "who is even on hellraisers anymore". Later they really improved into the top 10 shocking everyone, but it seems that soon enough everyone is going to be saying it once again.

shroud being benched isn't a surprise because he's stopped caring about csgo for the most part and has focused all his time on his stream and playing pubg
n0thing is a complete shock however, maybe he's been considering getting out of csgo for a while, who knows
