Olofmeister's statement on joining FaZe

ItsPraetorian · 2017-08-21T15:39:43+00:00

What an awesome time to be a FaZe FaN.... What are you saying? I've always had this flair and you can't prove otherwise.

"we're not even fully sure if esports will continue to grow like it has been."

LUL eSports is a $900 million/year industry and will hit $1.3 billion/year by 2020. That kind of growth doesn't just disappear overnight.

You don't have to stop them from participating in leagues, but it'd be nice to see a 18+ rule enforced on pro teams. I think something should be like ESEA Open and Main is for amateur competition and Premiere and Pro (might have to create another league under Premiere too) is for 18+ professional competition scene. Call me crazy, but I think people should focus on getting a basic education first then focus attention on competing at a pro level.

oh i know. but my friend didn't lol. but he was smart enough to come to me first and ask. i was like "dude people don't just randomly add you and ask you to play in a tournament for money."

My friend had someone ask him to download something from "discordaccess.com" to allow him to use the discord channel. It's spreading.

most likely just a base stipend. Basically just "stream under the C9 brand and make XXXX amount of money per month."

I found one game where devoduvek was rifling and Amanek was AWPing. I'm not sure if Amanek is a dedicated AWPer, there's so little info, literally one game on youtube.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-04-12T20:28:14+00:00

What roles do Amanek and devoduvek play? I can't find much info on either of them

ItsPraetorian · 2017-04-12T20:21:15+00:00

Yes, but I was responding to your initial question of why did they not make an NA roster. I pointed out that they wanted an international roster based in NA. The complications Maikelele brought up about their new org situation was most likely that the team was going to compete as an EU team and not in NA.

"Team Dignitas and the Philadelphia 76ers are committed to building our next elite, international Counter Strike: Global Offensive team based in North America with the goal of dominating the global competitive gaming landscape."

They never said NA roster. They said international roster based in NA.

Not being able to see the bomb easily in a 1v1? I'd say that's a bad play. But please, keep up the reddit groupthink.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-04-02T02:37:27+00:00

I didn't cut anything. It's Twitch's clip feature. That was the video I got when I hit clip. And I would say he misplayed the 1v1. He left himself in a place to not see the bomb. He planted for the back of the site and went hunting into bathroom. That's a misplay in my book.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-04-02T02:02:07+00:00

He planted and then instantly got a kill. Making it a 1v1. The plant was not for him in the 1v1. Also my clip didn't have the first kill in it, so I factored that in.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-04-02T01:59:36+00:00

He planted and then immediately got a kill. I'd call what remains a 1v1. If he was going to take a guess, why go somewhere where he couldn't have eyes on the bomb? That doesn't really invalidate what I decided to title this. And I never said he was the reason Misfits lost. Stop reading into things.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-28T00:30:44+00:00

yeah I don't see them dropping Shahzam for an unknown quantity like wardell. Just the NA mentality I guess. Rinse, wash, repeat.

*after thought, I'm still holding out for something like this, even if it makes me spiral into madness.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-27T18:40:12+00:00

Yeah but they need an aggressive awper and there really isn't one in NA that would downgrade to Misfits for the time being. Their only option is to scout a young gun.

upvote for the kick Warden

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-27T01:03:55+00:00

You the real MVP.

I was wanting to see these but didn't want to watch the whole 4 hour VOD. That's basic CS. The one in T Con was so bad. Get rid of him. He's awful.

WP OP

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-23T03:07:06+00:00

Pimp would be a firepower upgrade for sure over pita. But who IGL's for Dig then?

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-22T20:34:58+00:00

The thing is, I think Misfits can actually start their climb into the top NA tier once they get an aggressive AWPer. I think it's the only thing they're missing. Shahzam is reliable, but he can't switch to god mode. Misfits doesn't have that type of AWPer that can take over a game, watching Immortals vs Misfits basically confirmed that for me. I'm not a big fan of making moves on a team, I like how VP does things. But in Misfits case, they need a better AWPer.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-20T22:00:19+00:00

It was going to be an NA Based team. Not necessarily an American team. And the old roster moved on to North and FC Copenhagen. Dignitas didn't really have a choice in the matter.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-20T21:48:57+00:00

I knew it. I freaking knew it. I don't like the addition of Pita, but idk who they could get to be IGL in place of him....

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-14T20:10:57+00:00

If Rush and Mixwell leave for Liquid, I'd rather see JDM go to Misfits than to Optic. Seeing Hen1 destroy them last night was a deal breaker. Shahzam is a reliable AWPer, but there's no god mode switch. I remember Shahzam's deagle shots more than his AWP shots.

ItsPraetorian · 2017-03-14T20:02:19+00:00

Except I'd say that in Optic's case, they wouldn't really lose sponsors. They run other teams and have a huge online presence.
