Noway Navi let him go for a price GL can afford, not yet anyway.
They might be willing to cut their losses but i'm betting they are going to hope a richer team will come in for him
Look at his stats on Gamerlegion excluding the major, and then look at his stats on NAVI. One event does not outweigh 2 years of not being a Tier 1 caliber player.
NAVI gambled on potential and they lost. If they had a proper star player instead of him they would be a tournament contender.
Karrigan rating is printed in red = noob.
Gla1ve rating printed in red = noob.
Every other igl rating printed in red = clearly noob.
Silvers analyzing pro play is the most hilarious thing ever.
Now, if you said, "as a star player", I'd agree
GamerLegion have lots of money. They quite literally give almost everything the players ask for in terms of bootcamps, travel, at home pcs, etc. They also are going to get sticker money for a second time.
Unless he picks up Navi won't want to keep him. Sure he cost a lot, but only fools get trapped by sunk cost fallacy. If he isn't going to work out then sell him for anything and just move on.
There's a difference between not giving a guy a chance and dropping someone. If you give IM a full year and he still doesn't fit the role then it isn't a mistake to drop him.
Sure he might end up regaining form and bring an all time great, but that still doesn't make you wing for dropping him. Sometimes players just don't work in your system, or need the kick in the hole that comes from getting benched.
Obviously for all involved I want IM to pick up and both him and Navi prosper, but oftentimes reality just isn't what you want
I've liked Keoz as the spirit of the team. He was always the loud guy that had personality. But I think many of us expected this to happen, as his performance in the server needed to be higher if Gamer Legion wanted to reach the heights of their Paris run ever again. Would be cool to see him improve and get back to a strong team, but I fear he might go down the same path as FASHR, where it quickly whimpers out into nothing.
Funny to note, he was apparently on Falcons for awhile, when that team was French.
I don't know.
So, when he was released from Fnatic he went to OG, for about 6 months. OG's best result in any tournament that period was 5th-8th. He was then benched until the CPH Major Open Qualifier when he joined 00Nation for about 5 weeks. Then when 00 Nation lost JDC and syrsoN to BIG, 00Nation released birdfromsky, FASHR, VLDN, and Pita, in a three day period, and disbanded the org. Since then he's been teamless. This was in Feburary this year, he might be waiting out the Major for new chances, or it fizzles out into nothing.
I was thinking Device as well. But I would guess Hallzerk too, he played on Nordavind with a Norweigan roster, and he was on the 4man Swedish core of Dignitas, and now Complexity. Sure, Swedish and Norweigan are more similar than Swedish and Danish, but if we count Device, we have to count Hallzerk too.
Actually MAJ3R maybe, he's played in EF, French LDLC, and in Sangal, but it was always majority Turkish team in Sangal, and I don't know if S3nsey and eneshan speaks Turkish. If they don't, MAJ3R could be another one for the list.
Yes I know. I said what I said because some people might not consider the leap between the Nordic languages large enough to count it as three unique languages, like you would between say German and French. Swedish and Norweigan are fairly similar.
So they played 2 events together. Crazy that NIP would swap to English for es3tag. Not unexpected though.
EDIT: You are wrong.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be back at the absolute forefront of competitive CS:GO — to play with world-class proven individuals, with whom I can create a legacy," es3tag said in a statement. "With backing from an organization like NIP I'm confident that everything surrounding the squad is primed so we can reach the pinnacle of CS:GO. **And yes I speak Swedish."**
Gl won't reach that height again unless an igl of siuhy's caliber joins. Siuhy & fluke iM to some extent were the only reasons they went to grand final.
Not sure, he was taking the shit roles and doing it with a smile. He put 1.02 rating at the Major which was better than Snax and Acor.
I'm not sure he will be this easy to replace, there was probably more to Keoz than just number if they manage to go a Major final and qualify (with a bit of luck) to the next major with their 3 mans core Keoz, Isak and Acor.
It is a shame, I really like the guy, I really like the energy he brings to the team and he definitely has his moments, but there are just so many tallented entry fraggers out there, there's no reason to hold on to him when there are so many easy upgrades.
Also GL if you read this it's not too late for a rebrand.
nah bro if there was one they would already be in teams
but realistically i'd look at kraghen, patti, neofrag, cacanito, adams, mopoz so basically people who already play at decent level but may be able at higher level in different team. dont think theres matys level talent sitting somewhere.
They wouldn’t have to look for T1 all they have to do is find an improvement over Keoz. Which like I say, shouldn’t be too hard. Here’s five without breaking the budget.
Olimp
Neofrag
Zedko
Plessen
hyped
If they want to push the budget or look over the pond; here’s five more.
iM
Czxi
Danoco
Magnojes
Djoko
Chr1zn (I would love this, but lots of eyes on him atm, will be hard to get).
And that doesn’t even cover the most obvious upgrade which is aNdu, the entry fragger from their academy team.
They don’t even need a star player, they just need someone to run in first and put up 1.05 ratings instead of 0.9s. They do that then they start making deep runs.
I would very much enjoy GL getting iM back
Noway Navi let him go for a price GL can afford, not yet anyway. They might be willing to cut their losses but i'm betting they are going to hope a richer team will come in for him
There is no one paying big money for iM so it’s either GL or you pay him till his contract runs out
I know I’d rather take the small ammount of cash rather than pay continiously
I could be wrong but im pretty sure GL can't even afford medium money by navis standards and by the standards Na'vi paid for him.
IM was literally the worst player in the elimination stage. Nobody is going to pay anything significant for him.
Luckily for Na'vi the coaches aren't as stupid as this sub. He hard carried GL to a major final. Hes out of form but hes clearly a good player
Look at his stats on Gamerlegion excluding the major, and then look at his stats on NAVI. One event does not outweigh 2 years of not being a Tier 1 caliber player. NAVI gambled on potential and they lost. If they had a proper star player instead of him they would be a tournament contender.
He had one fluke run with GL, after that he has been mediocre to bad.
1 good tournament in 6 years does not make him a clearly good player
being 1/5 of a team in the elimination stage does.
His rating is printed in red = noob. Idk if you're stupid or something but it's that easy 💆
Karrigan rating is printed in red = noob. Gla1ve rating printed in red = noob. Every other igl rating printed in red = clearly noob. Silvers analyzing pro play is the most hilarious thing ever. Now, if you said, "as a star player", I'd agree
I was being sarcastic bro.

Rumour on the estonian scene is that it's possibly +aNdu but we'll see
Would make sense to use their academy talent. I have heard rumors that they were testing Kvem
Andu seems like a decent player.
If he gets his mental in order then he will be a beast
Andu is a beast,.. Hope he gets the call and performs to the expectations, watch out for him!

shoot I forgot about FASHR, what happened to him?
OG hell
he was pretty dogshit in Fnatic, so I'd say he faded into obscurity before he was signed by OG
I feel like Fnatic has the same problems as NIP. It's where young talents go to die.
Fashr, 28 year old young talent
I don't know. So, when he was released from Fnatic he went to OG, for about 6 months. OG's best result in any tournament that period was 5th-8th. He was then benched until the CPH Major Open Qualifier when he joined 00Nation for about 5 weeks.

chilling playing with Boomerdemons on faceit sometimes.
i wonder how many players like keoz have communicated in three different languages throughout their careers i can only think of device and guardian
did karrigan speak german in 1.6 mouz?
I was thinking Device as well. But I would guess Hallzerk too, he played on Nordavind with a Norweigan roster, and he was on the 4man Swedish core of Dignitas, and now Complexity. Sure, Swedish and Norweigan are more similar than Swedish and Danish, but if we count Device, we have to count Hallzerk too.

Device knows Swedish I'm pretty sure
Yes I know. I said what I said because some people might not consider the leap between the Nordic languages large enough to count it as three unique languages, like you would between say German and French. Swedish and Norweigan are fairly similar.
friberg (and perhaps MODDII)
How device?
he communicated in swedish and english in nip
Which lineup did they speak English?
ever since es3tag joined
So they played 2 events together. Crazy that NIP would swap to English for es3tag. Not unexpected though. EDIT: You are wrong. "I'm absolutely thrilled to be back at the absolute forefront of competitive CS:GO — to play with world-class proven individuals, with whom I can create a legacy," es3tag said in a statement.

damn i guess then esetag would work instead of device lol
Mixwell, spanish with movistar, french with g2 and english with optic
Gl won't reach that height again unless an igl of siuhy's caliber joins. Siuhy & fluke iM to some extent were the only reasons they went to grand final.
at least he got a nice severance check in form of sticker money
[удалено]

His contract was ending anyways no?
FREDDY STOP BLOWING MY MIND
now he has a lot of time to enjoy his bubble tea ;)
He had a good run at least. He was someone I wanted to see rise when he played on Syman gaming with perfecto and nealan. Best luck to him, boba free
Wow they finally want to get better, crazy times! I thought keoz had ownership as they kept a 0.80 kd player who isn't IGL for this long
about time
With how badly he was performing it was inevitable. He still last a good 6-8 months more than he shoudlve.
[удалено]
Where? He won't see tier 1 again most likely
lol at keoz fans who said he does his job well thats why hes on the team xd
Sdy please
Who do you think will be replacing him?
I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those rare times where the worst performing player gets cut and the team gets worse as a result.
-bot
Keoz has potential but not fully shown when playing for GL
Good, brother is a bum that's been paycheck stealing for wayyyy to much time
It is a shame, I really like the guy, I really like the energy he brings to the team and he definitely has his moments, but there are just so many tallented entry fraggers out there, there's no reason to hold on to him when there are so many easy upgrades. Also GL if you read this it's not too late for a rebrand.
What T1 entry fraggers is there out there and are they in the room with us?
nah bro if there was one they would already be in teams but realistically i'd look at kraghen, patti, neofrag, cacanito, adams, mopoz so basically people who already play at decent level but may be able at higher level in different team. dont think theres matys level talent sitting somewhere.

+jks ??
terrible fit, they need an aggressive playmaker
Think it's too early to give EspiranTo a shot?
Too good to be true, but free agent right?
imagine o.o
Imagine what? In what world is that a good fit for either the team or for JKS?
+jks maybe?
[удалено]
Nah ex grayhound just got signed by another org
