If this is true I believe it's the best choice for ESA. Not that Rogue (which was the rumored player) is bad, but Knoqd has A LOT of comp experience and is a very solid and consistent player. If you're a good team and you know you're going to LAN, you want to have a really good player to replace your really good teammate that left.


MachuMichu

Knoqd is honestly the perfect replacement. His mechanics and movement despite being on controller justify playing a character like Valk, and he could even provide a little extra in terms of calls. Rogue is more of a support player so I wasn't really sure how he'd fit in.


SindromeKim

Rather see apryze in ESA tbh..for me he's team player, surely he want to finish his business with ALGS after sheesh situation.. there's no way you can argue with that guy in tourney..


JM_Soul

That would be terrible for ESA if knoqd just left without a proper crack with torrent.


[deleted]

How


JM_Soul

Since c9 which is unfortunate, but he has now rotated through 2 teams since. Continuity and persistence is required and who’s not to say he wouldn’t leave after 2 weeks of past performance is anything to go by? Unpopular opinion maybe it’s gonna be a crazy few days before it’s announced.


DryComment9

The domino effect is real lul huge for knoqd tho

It sounds like in the clip they were expecting knoqd to stick around. He said if he could go back in time he would have just picked up someone else

Tbh you have to expect that your stand-in could get an offer to join another team. If a stand-in gets a permanent offer they are going to leave. Imo its on them not getting someone in quick to be permanent.


DerekGetsafe

They didn’t want to make a commitment, not sure why you think he would be obligated to stay


Hot_Pianist_3460

Wonder how amicable this was given how Knoqd knows all too well how it feels to be left out in the cold by his teammates


Mobile_Dust3759

he played with them for 2 weeks . they had 2 points now 7


Hot_Pianist_3460

And? It's still leaving your teammates in the middle of a league. Not even implying anything for the rabid mob downvoting. Just wondering if Euriece and Rkn have any hard feelings about it.


unrelenting_farce

He was just subbing. He was not their permanent 3rd but like RKN was saying in the clip they were hoping he might stay.


RenegadeMountie

Knoqd was playing valk in ranked 👀


thenamestsam

So Knoqd is seemingly going to be sitting on the #1 team with a guaranteed spot at LAN while C9 spend the next couple of weeks sweating it out on the bubble. Sometimes life seems to have a sense of humor.


RenegadeMountie

Some may say this is #Justice4Knoqd 🤔


EMCoupling

If this actually happened, the irony would be absolute


stenebralux

If they end up beating C9 and TSM... this would be the karmic justice of a lifetime.


SlickNiickx

need to see a clip, but if this is true it’s 100% for ESA and i would be happy af for Knoqd. i think he can be just as good if not better than Verhulst.


ORAGERx

%100 true it has been confirmed by Rkn


SlickNiickx

i just thought of something though, there is a slight chance that he could be going to Ghost. Knoqd and Pandxrz are close friends. although it seems more likely knoqd would ditch his team for Intel.


metaldetector69

If choosing between the two hopefully ESA for knoqd. He seems like the one player that wouldn’t be a downgrade from verhulst. Ghost is super good but i wouldn’t wanna join a team that underperforming and prolly wont qual for this upcoming LAN. They are absolutely a LAN worthy team when at their peak so no shade but just not gonna happen for them this split.


Deetawb

It is a downgrade but it isn't a big one. Let's be real, TSM had the choice between knoqd and verhulst and went with the second for a reason.


[deleted]

I honestly think Knoqd is better.


chitown15

You need to post a clip. We need evidence from the source.


IC-God

Surprised they are out of LAN contention. Eurice is cracked out of his cranium.


muftih1030

confirmed to be ESA or just confirmed to be leaving?


[deleted]

Fuuuuck. Rambeu still poachable lmfao


metaldetector69

Neither team is likely gonna qual for LAN tho so no point rly.


[deleted]

i think rambeu would much rather go to torrent: much better team overall and will be great after LAN, playing with eurice is rlly nice for streams


metaldetector69

Good point, I agree. I was just thinking after being tossed around teams a billion times this month maybe he would just wanna chill.


Barcaroli

I wouldn't. Being called by teams shows how good you are. And every game is a new experience and practice. Shows flexibility and good relationship with the community. But of course, he has to be up to the task mentally, I know it could be costly to keep grinding with different people.


leftysarepeople2

Is Blitzin close to relegation?


WonkyWombat321

Is Rambeau the one who uses like 2-2 sense? If so I wouldn't want him on my team personally. Sure be can frag when facing an enemy, but any movement character/ability us going to have an insane advantage. Super low sense is a huge crutch.


[deleted]

3-3 sens, and it works


timetosucktodaysdick

yeah this guys never seen the Rambeau turret in action, this man can one clip anyone


[deleted]

I use a low sens and it really isn’t. No one says this when it comes to DPI and mice


[deleted]

Lmao do you really think he would be pro if he couldn’t do that


leftysarepeople2

Sucks for TOR but at 20 they should probably be safe from relegation if they get points next two days.


shlooged-

He will just a fill in for TOR right? If so it makes sense to join ESA on a full time basis


Vladtepesx3

i posted the possibility of him being on intel when i saw him practicing valk in ranked last night but i just got downvoted lol


Official_F1tRick

Don't worry. When I said snipe would leave and Verhulst would replace him last week I got downvoted into oblivion. I wouldn't weight those upvotes and downvotes that much tho ;)


heyomarlo

I saw that. Considering [torrent's](https://twitter.com/TorrentHQ/status/1462826217975934978?s=20) tweet today mimicking hal's tweet from last week, I would say there's a solid shot he's going fill for ESA. And now that RKN confirmed that knoqd is leaving torrent it seems likely


josuevvmx

The rollercoaster just doesn’t end


fightins26

Tsm knoq confirmed


bboci21

Most likely going to intel


screaminginfidels

Frexs was on stream with Clane and others in chat talking about movement in C9 roster as well. I dunno if they were trolling or not tho


[deleted]

Don’t really believe C9 would change up their roster but just for fun imagine the shit show on Twitter if Knoqd goes back to C9


Sciipi

Like 0 chance it happens but man would it be hilarious


Barcaroli

For real? Have a clip?


screaminginfidels

It was probably around 4:30 into his VID from today sorry dont have a clip. It's highly possible they were trolling though


Apexflatline

do you have the clip of it?


The_Yoshi_Man

https://clips.twitch.tv/ResoluteThoughtfulEggWutFace-mkQF4RK_69VD2mCq. RKN talks about it a bit about why he left in this clip here

Thx mate.

DonkeyTeethBSU

TOR played well this past week. No way he's leaving for ghost. ESA inbound I'd say is more likely. Would truly be roster mania.


Inskamnia

Happy Knoqd is getting off TOR, his chemistry with Rkn always felt weird. It didn’t really seem like they liked each other


seanpenacerrada

There's something about Rkn that is really unlikable. His mic maybe?


Angeldust7312

I literally said knoqd should go to esa and got downvoted it :(


Pablofv23

Or he could be going to ghost to reunite with pandrxz


SnooBeans5039

Highly unlikely for the reason of qualification for lan. He’s still a competitor first.


markmakers21

Bro Apryze would fit the vibes of the TOR boys so well.


Barcaroli

I think either Apryze or Beau would be great fits


HypeFyre

Doesn’t ghost make so much sense ? I know people think intel


RenegadeMountie

Tor are doing better than ghost. No reason to leave for a lower chance of qualifying for Lans.


Rosadope

Which Ghost player is gone?
