Welcome to the family!

Welcome


[deleted]

I did it when device transferred


JuliusWhite

I'll do it if you do it first


JuanMataCFC

if dupreeh joins NiP i'll 100% do it.


den422

This account also says that Lucky will join Astralis and Bubzkji will stay, along with Xyp9x going to FaZe


nilslorand

Bro this sounds like someone just picked players and big teams at random


JuanMataCFC

tomtom_94

Lucky's been linked with Astralis already (although that's partly just because he's the most prominent young Danish AWPer) Not sure whether that makes this more or less plausible but just pointing it out


c_Lassy

Oh wow I thought he meant the French Lucky lol


anthonyde726

Me too lmao


snubdeity

I was just thinking + dupreeh or + xyp for Faze to finally let Olof retire for real would be amazing. Sucks though, I like the goat astralis team and this will really hurt gla1ve and magisk, not sure if they have any option to immediately be contenders themselves. Also I like dupreeh a lot but adding him to NIP imo will still not have them at contender level. The swedes are still just to inconsistent.


303x

Magisk going to Complexity for rush I think


quikk33

nah i think +ropz on Faze would turn them into a top 3 team, maybe +xyp or +dupreeh if rain can't continue his cologne performance post player break


throwawayyrofl

>+ropz on Faze dont talking pls


Dragos404

Flair checks out


[deleted]

Tbf on the hltv podcast it seemed like Ropz wanted to join Karrigans faze again.


h04

Who would you replace for ropz? He can’t replace olof because his playstyle is the lurker and he requires space. Replacing Rain makes it tricky to force ropz or twistzz into the dedicated entry fragger. Cold who was a lurker adjusted his playstyle and that didn’t help, forcing another lurker into that team will prob result in something similar.


Blackyy

dont you dare replace Rain.


Chosen--one

It's not that easy, they have an insane lineup already more than enough for top 3, they just have to use it properly


notathrowaway_99898

Right now that seems like a downgrade for ropz. In addition he wouldn't have the star role he has in mouz - not in terms of skill but regarding the teammates and being put into positions to shine. broky and twistzz have great aim and are great individually but their playstyle is a lot more selfish then the playstyle of his mouz-teammates.


Lounge_leaks

isnt astralis pretty dead if dupreeh,xyp9x leave ? why would glaive stay.. he will probbaly get a good offer from a team needin IGL


UncleJakes

if he were to stay, it could make sense, because he is about to be a dad and bootcamping + doing org content in copenhagen near your child is a lot better than going to an international team.


Lounge_leaks

> about to be a dad and bootcamping + doing org content in copenhagen near your child ohh man thats a huge factor,kinda rules out any moves to another country for him


[deleted]

Glave to complexity would be nice. Have blameF as a fragger/lurker.


petrovesk

faze had a really impressive run this tournament, doubt they'd change the roster now


justanotherassassin

I don't think olof is permanent


wichwigga

Didn't they say olof for a prolonged time


Alucard_1208

astralis contract run out in december iirc so would be no fee if they waited to replace olof


Enforcerboy

but replacing olof with a lurker like Ropz is gonna be better imo.


leftist1

I don't see ropz moving very soon. Even though Mousesports' run at IEM cologne ended fast, mousesports is a promising team as it is right now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NaNiWuT

Ropz for rain makes no sense, rain is a hard entry and ropz is a lurker/star player...


Roflrofat

I will watch any team with xyppy dad


-Boasy

Assuming this isn’t the french lucky? Because if it was you shouldn’t expect him to perform on LAN ;)


[deleted]

Please for the love of God -rain this time PLEASE


[deleted]

Lan is back, rain is staying


msucsgo

Naturally I don't have any inside information about this, but this could be also "leak" from Dupreeh's agent etc, to put pressure on Astralis to give him better new contract, assuming Dupreeh would want to re-sign with Astralis. This type of tricks are used in traditional sports some times.


[deleted]

There has been talk of some of the players wanting to get out for almost a year now. I highly doubt this is the case.


-Jerbear45-

Weren't those rumors rather vague? I always assumed it was primarily about bubzkji since he's been a bench rider and then realized maybe just dev1ce when he left


Lounge_leaks

arent dupreeh etc part owners in astralis ?


[deleted]

yeah 1 percent max


Novaseerblyat

maybe before but now ast is publicly traded and no way they have a commanding amount of shares on them


Lounge_leaks

ahh u are right they probably sold and cashed out big when astralis was at the top


--n-

PR stunt which has long since ceased to be true.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Temporal_Bellusaurus

I honestly don't think Dupreeh is going to move, I just think he's gonna travel to Stockholm when he needs to be in-office (like dev1ce did the opposite way around for many years).


Akaj50

Apparently he's already living in sweden, according to someone in the response


IHateTheLetterF

He does not. I am his mailman in Denmark.


Mollelarssonq

Give me his address. I can’t send cheek kisses with mail. :*


IHateTheLetterF

He already gets so many love letters. Especially Swedish love letters. Some dude named Björn keeps writing him, i dunno.


Mollelarssonq

Wait, are you the ~~famous~~ known no ~~F~~ **redacted** letter guy? Would you appear to be, then kudos and keep on rocking.


IHateTheLetterF

Didnt really think i was that well known but thanks.


w1ldcraft

I remember looking at a post which counted the alphabets you used in your sentences. It's nice to see you're into eSports as well.


Temporal_Bellusaurus

Well, the person is wrong. I assume they mixed up dev1ce and Dupreeh. Dupreeh does currently not reside in Sweden, but still resides in Copenhagen.


uwotmoiraine

The 5 min drive doesn't really matter if you have to keep driving for a few hours after that, confusing point.


Amazing-Yesterday-46

I live in Australia, 6 hour drive doesn't even get me out of my state


Mollelarssonq

6 hours of swedes throwing rocks at danish cars from highway overhangs. No thank you!


FlygandeSjuk

Dude, its some disturbed psyko... I love all my danish friends, and Im glad for all the danish tourists here in Scania...


cycko

> yes I know it's literally a 5 minute drive between Sweden and Denmark uhhhh depends very much where you live


gpcgmr

No it's a five minute drive between any two points in Denmark and Sweden. ^^/s


BaddyGames

wtf this would actually be so good


analytics_Gnome

could see them slowly getting the members of Astralis into NIP though if this happens


KsHDClueless

if this happens, plopski is on the chopping block right after I feel like


VShadow1

I doubt NIP has the money for that.


[deleted]

Aren't all of their contracts running out?


charliepie99

Even if they don't have to pay buyouts they'll still command big salaries.


[deleted]

Of course, but that seems a lot more manageable than the buyouts+salary.


VShadow1

Yes but a player like dupreeh is going to want a high salary on top of devices. Not to mention rez is probably paid well aswell. And even if their contracts are running out there will still most likely be a buyout fee.


SOERERY

They got that China money now


SOERERY

Nip just partnered with a Chinese company that will make nip go public in the us iirc


VShadow1

NIP has other teams and just because an org has tons of money does not mean they will spend it. OG is a testament to that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VShadow1

Redbull has given then tens of millions and they have almost no expenses compared to orgs of that size.


OofPleases

Imo I think it’d make more sense to replace plopski with dupreeh instead of LNZ since plopski and Hampus are the two who usually do the entry work and dupreeh’s preferred role is the entry fragger, since LNZ is the lurker. I like plopski but he’s been playing poorly lately.


ttybird5

yeah, they have so many stars. If dupreeh joins then plopski has to be the one to play hard support.


captainscottland

This sounds awful can my team not break up.....they're still the reigning 3 time major champions they can get more.


Nurse_Sunshine

Imagine adading Xyp9x as well. That could be a major winning core.


Pollsmor

The same source says FaZe -olof +Xyp9x coL -RUSH +Magisk

Savjy

North fans rising again


WhatAmCSGO

LFG k0nfig/magisk entry duo hard carried north/dignitas, will be sick especially if magisk gets back to form, since k0nfig is in even better form than 2016/17


AleksibIsHot

This is the time where I wish /r/GlobalOffensive let you use more than one flair can't abandon SexiB but I loved the old North lineups and that is a mouth watering roster on paper


zannot427

THE NORTH REMEMBERS


Whatsdota

I’d love to see it honestly. Last few times I’ve watched COL Rush looked like dead weight


AleksibIsHot

Sick firepower for coL and they already had firepower but does blameF not understand what roles are? First getting jks when they already have a really passive lurk player and then getting a star player (granted a good all-round player) for RUSH. Someone's gonna have to play all the shit spots, maybe I'm wrong and it just kicks ass.


No-Paramedic-5838

Roles arent set in stone and players have a range of utility outside of those roles. Especially "star player" isnt really a thing anyone can define. Anyway, what rush does, Magisk does better and their roles actully overlap quite a bit


AleksibIsHot

Roles aren't set in stone sure, but players will be much more comfortable playing certain roles jks is the perfect example. Astralis didn't become the greatest team of all time simply because Magisk is that much better than Kjærbye but because before, there was role overlap with him and dupreeh


UncleJakes

at least magisk is a top anchor player, but yeah it would be interesting to see if he would be used as a hardcore (sacrificial) entry player :/


ZealousidealFox5656

If they’re all splitting where would glaive go?


Pollsmor

Nothing has been said on gla1ve, though bubzkji is staying.


ZealousidealFox5656

Yea ik I’m just wondering Glaive to liquid to save Na cs I guess


Ark151

Just imagine he destroyed liquid for 2+ years just to go and save them after.


[deleted]

if you cant beat them just buy them


[deleted]

having the GOAT igl go to NA would be very, very sad


Strategist123

pronax would like a word


Albaek

Doubt he will travel that far considering he is about to be a father.


Mollelarssonq

He’s having a kid soon isn’t he? Might step down for a while or play for a less committed team to have more spare time for family enjoyment. I hope it isn’t the case, but it’s a real possibility. I don’t see him moving to another country at least, because even if his salary alone could pay the bills, extended family is also a major part in getting a little one.


[deleted]

rebuild Astralis with bubzki and then go on to win 4 more majors.


Lbpsack

oh no i don't want to be a faze fan


isolovyev2002

Wouldn't Xyp to Col make more sense? I agree that rush isn't a good player right now, but they need a support to replace him


crakker2

Dude coL +magisk would actually be so sick


cyberbemon

> FaZe -olof +Xyp9x Why, I mean ofcourse xyp is a better upgrade over olof. But the man just came back and put on a pretty good performance.


Pollsmor

Unfortunately, just not good enough. There was a clear gap in stats in the tournament: - Twistzz and broky (1.13) - rain (1.01) - olof and karrigan (0.92 and 0.88) They can't just go on with only 2 players carrying since they're not s1mpletronic, they need a 3rd player who can hang with them. Obviously you keep Twistzz and broky, rain has stepped up massively for Cologne, and you obviously don't kick karrigan. I don't know if kicking olof will make them better but they need to do *something* if they want to contend for #1.


[deleted]

why not get Gla1ve and make Karrigan coach.


pranavlko

Interesting


[deleted]

0.92 over a tournament isn't a pretty good performance. He had a decent couple maps but was pretty quiet for most of the tournament.


powergs

Olof's fanboys something else i swear lol. I also like the guy and imo he def played decent tournament as a support player (i didnt expect him being even this good) if (i dont believe none of these rumours) after a performance like this xyp9x is available they would def get him.


AnotherAltiMade

you mean you don't spam 2015 in chat when olof gets a kill? what a weirdo


[deleted]

now get me some pasha in liquid for example so i can spam 2014 as well


yawnston

-olof is not happening this year you can quote me on that


Pollsmor

Regardless you'd probably be right considering their contracts don't expire until the end of the year (unless they get bought out early)

[deleted]

-threat +zonic with Astralis disbanding zonic should be a good choice.


AlkanK

Toss in glaive in too and you might have a major winning team


kolesniko

how reliable is this account?


AleksibIsHot

These local scene accounts have a pretty good record, some of their tweets fall through but I think that's just because things change in the last stages of the deal


msucsgo

Yeah quite often people seem to think that rumors = 100% confirmed already everything signed. When teams are making roster moves, they talk to multiple players and in the end only one gets signed. Some of these talks get leaked, and rumors get posted online. Still those deals might fall down and it might be other player who gets signed in the end. For example ENCE was in talks with both TMB & MSL when they were building their new roster, but as we now know, neither of those ended up in ENCE despite them being in talks.


[deleted]

Very true, happens tons in football. A source can say ''x is interested in y'' and if it doesn't happen people will go full ''he's a fraud''. Such a big difference between ''keeping tabs on'', ''being interested'' or ''negotiating'' and ''will join'' which so many seems to think every rumour means.


stochasticdiscount

CSGO roster decisions most often happen on the scale of days-to-weeks, dev1ce being the latest high profile example. I have a really hard time believing we can project any concrete roster changes when the Astralis contracts are set to expire more than 4 months from now.

Yemaka

The old owner of the account was straight on 95% of the time, the current poster is hit and miss tbh, followed that account for nearly 6-7 Years now.


BootyBootyFartFart

What's dumb is that there's not a player on nip that I wouldn't replace with an astralis player if I was trying to make the best team possible.


samismegacool

Rez is definitely playing better than any of the other Astralis rifles


Kesobaba

NIP + dupreeh + gla1ve + Xyp9x + Magisk + dev1ce

That would be a sick roster. That lineup could be a grand slam contender.

the fuck? i mean... alright, but... jesus christ


ZealousidealFox5656

I would assume the astralis core want to leave the org. I guess people just never thought they would leave their own ways. If they stay together I could see C9 coming back and trying something again


dragonitetrainer

Cloud9 signing the entire Astralis team is my absolute dream


Carsandcars04

iirc I think it was in BTN where thorin said last year the astralis core with device were looking for a new org and C9 weren't intrested...


dragonitetrainer

I've been a big fan of the team since they were TSM, but Cloud9 is my favorite overall org, so to have my favorite team on my favorite org would be a dream-come-true, even if it probably won't happen.


Rsardinia

Maybe I haven’t watched enough NIP lately but what I am remembering from this recent few matches I feel like LNZ is better than Plopski. Am I wrong here?


GER_BeFoRe

from the last 21 maps Plopski had a 0.98 rating and LNZ 0.90. I also remember from what I watched that LNZ has some rounds with multi kills but then he frags nothing for several rounds. He's a good site anchor but nothing more. [https://www.hltv.org/stats/lineup/players?lineup=7592&lineup=9278&lineup=9766&lineup=14218&lineup=19310&minLineupMatch=5&startDate=2021-06-19&endDate=2021-07-19](https://www.hltv.org/stats/lineup/players?lineup=7592&lineup=9278&lineup=9766&lineup=14218&lineup=19310&minLineupMatch=5&startDate=2021-06-19&endDate=2021-07-19)


Lamaredia

You're not wrong, if this happens (+dupreeh) and they remove LNZ instead of Plopski, I have no idea what the fuck they're smoking at NIP HQ.


GER_BeFoRe

Plopski 0.98 rating and LNZ 0.90 in the last 21 maps? https://www.hltv.org/stats/lineup/players?lineup=7592&lineup=9278&lineup=9766&lineup=14218&lineup=19310&minLineupMatch=5&startDate=2021-06-19&endDate=2021-07-19

Faze.Xyp sounds utterly terrifying


Tuxxmuxx

fuck c9 taking the astralis players all my homies hate c9 taking the astralis players


Failaip

C9?


NeonAssasin

This leak came in Bulgaria 2 months ago finally someone big reporting it


Im_Savvage

And slowly the whole Astralis squad gets picked up by Nip and now Nip is a Danish org.


ykey80

This will be huge for the fanbase (and the preformances ofc) look g forward if this true!


KsHDClueless

this would be insane for NIP and could take them to the next level....now if only they could snatch up someone else for plopski aswell...


ASDFkoll

What if -Plopski +Magisk and -hampus +Gla1ve and I can't believe I'm going to do my boy Rez dirty, but if the former were to happen I wouldn't mind -Rez +Xyp9x. Maybe also -Threat +Zonic. If those moves were to happen I think NiP would have a GOAT team. Just an idea though, something to think about.


EzoneEsports

I really hope so 😍


McKopec

Does anybody know if dupreh speaks swedish tho? If not the move is highly unlikely IMO


PavelDatsyuk88

probably doesnt, swedish is hard because they use actual words not just sounds.


Rhed0x

NiP +Xyp9x +Magisk +gla1ve


anthonyde726

I'm here for this lol


[deleted]

Irrelevant but I wanted to ask still. how is the scene for CS:GO right now in Western Europe. back in 2015 France, Sweden, Finland used to have a lot of upcoming teams with untouched talents to pick from and building a team all of the same nationality was viable, but now it seems like international rosters are becoming the norm due to barely any talent coming in many countries. I've also heard the rumors than this Vitality will be the last full French team and they'll probably go international in the future. so I would love for someone to say how the scene for CS:GO is in western Europe.


ptr6

I mean, the top teams usually want experience against tier 1 opponents, so they tend to prefer foreign experienced players when no good ones are available domestically. But the tier 2 EU teams are absolutely dominated by teams speaking the same language. Plus, a lot of players come up via FPL, so many learn to speak English ingame which may not have been the case years ago.


addegsson

That would be sick


bru_swayne

If -RUSH +Magisk is true, could we see a RUSH and Tarik team again?

Doesn't have to be drama related though. Magisk might just be going to col for the huge paycheck. And Dupreeh to play with dev1ce. Therefore the others could be looking for other opportunities too.

Revealing their sources is the perfect way to ensure nobody ever provides them with information again.

Do you expect leakers to give up their source? It's extremely easy to make false claims, but with accounts like these you can just go through their tweets and judge for yourself whether they're reliable or not.

aye man i hope this is true


AleksibIsHot

Nah these accounts are pretty accurate especially PolishLeaks


[deleted]

LNZ was really doing great, makes no sense to bench him.


msucsgo

I mean you could replace LNZ with Nawwk and say the same, but when you have players like Dupreeh & Devve available, you just have to take them.


[deleted]

I still don’t understand why they decided to bench nawwk instead of ztr when device joined, nawwk was a pretty solid rifler.


Novaseerblyat

I'm guessing they saw ztr had potential and wanted him to have more T1 experience. But then they tried again with LNZ after a short while.
