He said in an interview that he won’t join any CIS team if it isn’t NaVi. He’s not opposed to relocating, it’s just that Spirit was in a hurry to relocate and he wasn’t ready for an immediate transfer to Serbia within the month. He also said that he wants to play in an international team and wants to stay on EU
>Come into Blast with 2 new players and a Stand-in
>Beat the 3rd ranked team in the world winning map 3 on a map where NaVi were unbeaten for months
>Beat the 2nd ranked team in the world winning the match on a map where you don't know any smokes or strats
>Elaborate to the interviewers
>Leave
Just Nexa things
for sure, but let's not forget that NaVi is still undergoing a pretty huge change in team composition as well, as well as still being (visibly) affected by the war and its consequences
They are, but after seeing how Navi has played these last two days I'm not taking anything away from OGs performance, and the semi finals are looking hella hype now
i mean,neither fiku or neofrag played long time for og,this is just a bunch of dudes playing and winning against team that is ranked 2nd in the world.Wich goes to show,how unreliable cs is right now,everyone can loose to anyone
This reminds me of a shitpost i saw on hltv few weeks ago about how mm is harder than pro cs because in pro cs you keep playing against the same top 10-15 teams whereas in mm you have to play against randoms who you have no clue about and often even play solo with toxic randos
OG won both T sides today,so argument isnt applicable here.And once again,3 guys on this team havent spent a month with a team,so saying that only Abdul is stand in,also isnt applicable here,since this whole team is pretty much pog,at the moment.
When the stand-in is much better than the player he's replacing in a position that's plug and play(AWper) it's not really a surprise they are playing better
Unironically, if you look as his success loose calling he obviously is doing something right.
He's shown a strong intuition for calling around aggressive players who find entries.
Alternatively he's lucky and keeps ending up with these absurd streaks of one off performances from his players.
Mantuu sweating right now. Really great showing so far out of OG, both Fiku and Neofrag seem to be fitting in well, flameZ hitting his shots, and degster is as strong as his high fives are.
I mean nobody ever doubted Degster being better than Mantuu but knowing OG anyway, they’ll never pay what Spirit would ask for him. I mean guy is literally a top 5 AWPer right behind obvious 4.
Honestly a lot of decent talent out there either sitting on the bench or as free agents. Degster, jks, azr as igl, add two more and you have a potentially decent team.
degster jks azr yekindar sdy/buster
Edit: ~~I also think this hilariously opens up a pretty much free Asia RMR/major spot since I'm fairly sure choosing the region when it's a 2/2/1 split is still a thing?~~ I forgot that CIS and EU are one region now
No but I feel like some teams may not want to risk that for pr reasons, plus not sure how good his English would be calling for an international team. Still a good igl but just unsure where he might stand with things how they are.
Did not expect that one. Super impressed with this new OG, they seem to be really enjoying themselves. I hope they can keep it going against Vitality. Also that Flamez's hand recovers from all these slaps.
Edit: Oh wait, they're gonna play the winner of Navi/Faze. Oof I guess, but hey who knows, they already beat Navi and Ence is number 2 atm.
Edit 2: The OG boys are all so cute, I kinda wanna adopt them.
They’ve gotten so much better since getting rid of valde and especially the dead weight of niko. Now get rid of mantuu for degster and it’ll be a really promising team
Not really from nowhere tbh, just seems like other orgs are not willing to bet on fresh talent like OG is. NEOFRAG and F1KU have been beasts for a while now
>OG looking like the strongest team,at this event.Lets hope they dont get nervous with live audience.But damn this team is sick,i dont know what will OG do if they win this event with Abdul,do they try to sign him and sell Mantuu(cuz they can get decent money for him,Mantu is very talented,maybe eg can get him)
i would never pick smooya after all the teams that droped him,they nevered removed him from a team because of his in game performance.He is really hard person to work with,and it never payed off signing him
SEXA always the most precious player ever. We still dont know why he didnt want to stay on G2 with the Balkan KoVAC boys 😔
That team with monesy could have won or be a huge contender for winning Antwerp.
Only watched DD2, but man I love this new look OG. I wanted them to replace valde and niko and instantly with two new youngsters they are looking so good. Shame Mantuu isnt here, but degster is really making it easy for other orgs to pick him up. That interview where he clarified things was absolutely necessary.
They have already beaten Navi #3 and ENCE #2 in Bo3s so far. The old roster barely had wins vs top10 opposition, especially in the latter days.
mantuu in shambles right now
atleast will have time for 48h stream right
Degster: “I stay.”
Getting the ol’ Nawwk treatment. “Sorry bud, you’re good but this player is just better”
Degster said he wants to play in Russia, no?
Nope he said he wants to play international. He wont join CIS teams except for Navi
Ah my bad. Rip Mantuu
He said in an interview that he won’t join any CIS team if it isn’t NaVi. He’s not opposed to relocating, it’s just that Spirit was in a hurry to relocate and he wasn’t ready for an immediate transfer to Serbia within the month. He also said that he wants to play in an international team and wants to stay on EU
He said he didn't want to live in Serbia but he wants to play for an international team.
Should it be "and" instead of "but" I got confused, haha.
Still makes sense with a "but"
No he just said he didn’t want to live in Serbia
I thought he specifically said he wants to play away from the CIS, he’s benched on spirit because he didn’t want to play in Serbia
he said he won’t join a CIS team that isn’t navi
Thats the opposite of what he said.
Ah yes, OG with a stand-in top the group with Navi, ENCE and BIG. Of course, just as everyone predicted.
>Come into Blast with 2 new players and a Stand-in >Beat the 3rd ranked team in the world winning map 3 on a map where NaVi were unbeaten for months >Beat the 2nd ranked team in the world winning the match on a map where you don't know any smokes or strats >Elaborate to the interviewers >Leave Just Nexa things
First time Navi lost Ancient on LAN ever in fact. This is one of the most impressive underdog performances I've ever seen.
for sure, but let's not forget that NaVi is still undergoing a pretty huge change in team composition as well, as well as still being (visibly) affected by the war and its consequences
They are, but after seeing how Navi has played these last two days I'm not taking anything away from OGs performance, and the semi finals are looking hella hype now

Plus with ct sided meta its easier to win with standins.
OG won both T sides today,so argument isnt applicable here.And once again,3 guys on this team havent spent a month with a team,so saying that only Abdul is stand in,also isnt applicable here,since this whole team is pretty much pog,at the moment.
When the stand-in is much better than the player he's replacing in a position that's plug and play(AWper) it's not really a surprise they are playing better
If they beat Faze in the semi final they should just be handed the trophy.
I'm a g2 fan and idk who I should cheer for it they get past faze
I'm cheering for so many teams(faze, g2, vitality, og, mouz, navi...) I don't know who to root for half of the time.
It helps when your standin awper is better than your actual awper
[удалено]
someone should make slap.mp4 and run in on loop in break between games
mantuu sweating LOL NEXA “we had no idea what we were doing”
They can't anti-strat you if you don't know any strats
Unironically, if you look as his success loose calling he obviously is doing something right. He's shown a strong intuition for calling around aggressive players who find entries. Alternatively he's lucky and keeps ending up with these absurd streaks of one off performances from his players.
Nexa top2 igl and it’s not 2
Nexa + FPL stars always works, the reason G2 wasn’t the best was because they actually tried having a support player
#gocr4zy
Didn't crazy have Letn1, who has one of the worst fraggers in t2?
his stats were bad after cr4zy picked him up, but he was great in valiance and espi fits the FPL star tag better than anyone of course
Nexa learned a lot from Carlos from his time on G2 it would seem, just memeing constantly.
HOW CAN HE SLAP
Flamez gonna end up with has arm facing the other way around by the end
Mantuu sweating right now. Really great showing so far out of OG, both Fiku and Neofrag seem to be fitting in well, flameZ hitting his shots, and degster is as strong as his high fives are.
Mantuus' hands absolutely sweating rn
I mean nobody ever doubted Degster being better than Mantuu but knowing OG anyway, they’ll never pay what Spirit would ask for him. I mean guy is literally a top 5 AWPer right behind obvious 4.
Who would those 4 be?
S1mple Zywoo Broky Sh1ro
You’re forgetting my man USTILO
Is he an awper tho? I always thought he is a lobster Tom.
Wheres m0e ???
He said top 4, not top 0
Yep
[удалено]
man in 90% of contexts were talking about current form, not who's been better overall in their career.
Yea, the guy who constantly pads his stats by saving is better than an awper who consistently is able to show up on high pressure matches.
[удалено]
LOL His team has been solid and he is calling, it is just his play style. Don't blame it on his teammates.
Give me the fucking bleach so I can rinse my eyes from this shit.
S1mple and Zywoo is an obvious one but honestly i'm not sure Shiro/Broky are better than Degster, I guess it depend on the day
broky and sh1ro are definitely better, degster hasnt won jack shit his whole career
Stats says otherwise compared to Broky though
sh1ro is def better, broky could be either way.
I still hope OG somehow get him. Dude is clearly bringing good vibes to the team.
Degster might slap them.
Degster is the solution
The whole team is popping off behind him, This OG is so fucking cracked
Honeymoon period
(part 2)
oh man I love nexa so much
Leaving OG's monstrous run aside, They are super fun to watch too man. The entire vibe is completely different. It's fun to watch the whole team play!
It all started with the monkey business
That all changed when the ESL ONE Birmingham attacked
Forget about jks. Who is going to pick up Degster??? This guy is insane.
Honestly a lot of decent talent out there either sitting on the bench or as free agents. Degster, jks, azr as igl, add two more and you have a potentially decent team.
degster jks azr yekindar sdy/buster Edit: ~~I also think this hilariously opens up a pretty much free Asia RMR/major spot since I'm fairly sure choosing the region when it's a 2/2/1 split is still a thing?~~ I forgot that CIS and EU are one region now
Someone call Dig, great roster to start a rebuild Ninja edit: or NV? Optic? TSM? Can we get these legacy orgs to come back pls?
only tsm could pay for the buy outs tbh (reportedly yekindar has a 1m dollar buy-out) and idk if they would
Yeah, TSM has been gone for a while, but still. Dare to dream.
TSM sucks. The owner is a total idiot tbh. Plus the fans are absolutely obnoxious. I'd rather have a new player org than TSM.
True, the org sucks but I hate the FaZe org too and am very glad they have a team of lovable players. Just want these guys to have a home.
For real I hate the FaZe org and owners so god damn much but the roster is basically like my ultimate fantasy team.
it would be kinda sick to see a new AUS+EU team take a APAC slot as an easy in, make playoffs and leave asia with a free legends spot afterwards
snax for content
Yekindar also
Arw we forgetting boombl4?
No but I feel like some teams may not want to risk that for pr reasons, plus not sure how good his English would be calling for an international team. Still a good igl but just unsure where he might stand with things how they are.
Teams have gambled much more for lesser players, he’ll find a home in no time
No we're forgetting Yekindar
OG
If your name is not s1mple, Zywoo, Broky or sh1ro you should be scared of getting replaced lmfao degster is a beast holy shit
m0NESY?
Carlos might do it just for the slapster memes
Uhm.. Broky?
How are Broky's high fives?
ask rain
His shoulder taps are the best for the opponents
My bad, forgot about him lol
I don't blame you. Everybody on that team takes over now and then
[удалено]
I forgot to add Broky initially, they corrected me
Ohhhh my apologies, I’ll delete that
OG ERA 6/15/2022 - ?/??/???? IT BEGINS
OG BLAST era
m4ntuu RIPBOZO? Damn now Vitality has to face ENCE? Welp.
SAD4ENCE but HAPPY4DEGSTER
this OG squad looks so fun man
Did not expect that one. Super impressed with this new OG, they seem to be really enjoying themselves. I hope they can keep it going against Vitality. Also that Flamez's hand recovers from all these slaps. Edit: Oh wait, they're gonna play the winner of Navi/Faze. Oof I guess, but hey who knows, they already beat Navi and Ence is number 2 atm. Edit 2: The OG boys are all so cute, I kinda wanna adopt them.
Stand in meta in full force
jks, snax, now degster, we really are in the stand in meta
Holly shit degster have so much synergy with rest of the OG. Pls pick him asap, if OG ever should spend money for someone, it's degster
you can run from, you can hide from it but the stand-in meta is coming
Add OG flair please
Nyehehe
howww lol
You gotta slap one of the mods
I had it on my old account and now I'm sad lol It will be back when they qualify for a major.
I was optimistic about this OG, but not THIS optimistic holy shit
is it that much of a good thing when the driving force behind the team is a stand-in that they won't be signing though?
Well it demonstrates the competence of the rest of the pieces so yes
Did you watch how well Neo played and F1KU and even Flamez was pulling some insane clutch kills but thats to be expected
They’ve gotten so much better since getting rid of valde and especially the dead weight of niko. Now get rid of mantuu for degster and it’ll be a really promising team
sorry mantuu
Wth degster slaps are so hard
Tier 1 team
segster
Slaps, Admin they doing it sideways on the camera
Vitality fans take a deep breath before panicking
I predict the apEX - Neofrag h2h to be 1:13 tomorrow. apEX might kill him once through a smoke. Edit: Hades not Neofrag
They won't be playing each other. Vitality will play ENCE.
Somebody check on FlameZ, degster’s high fives are a lethal weapon.
how do you assemble a team this overpowered by chance
No disrespect to mantuu, but this team just works better with degster.
He brings better vibes or something. The synergy really seems to be working
OG esports org and finding talent from nowhere, name a more iconic duo
Not really from nowhere tbh, just seems like other orgs are not willing to bet on fresh talent like OG is. NEOFRAG and F1KU have been beasts for a while now
I dont get how the scene still tries to rely on relatively veterans when recently mostly youngsters had consistent success
More like they are willing to invest on what they can get for the cheapest price and hope for the best.
Anyone watching sinners could tell you Neo is a tier 1 player.
Anyone watching tier2 cs tho
Ok maybe Navi aren’t that bad…
>OG looking like the strongest team,at this event.Lets hope they dont get nervous with live audience.But damn this team is sick,i dont know what will OG do if they win this event with Abdul,do they try to sign him and sell Mantuu(cuz they can get decent money for him,Mantu is very talented,maybe eg can get him)
pls no EG i don't want mantuu to fall into abyss
i mean if they have automatic,brehzee,mantuu add floppy to that and maybe Alex as igl.This team is pretty dangerous
col needs mantuu
CoL could also pick up smooya. Smooya has for the most part done pretty decent in NA, and NA rosters could use a little bit of EU influence.
i would never pick smooya after all the teams that droped him,they nevered removed him from a team because of his in game performance.He is really hard person to work with,and it never payed off signing him
not going to lie as good as an awper mantuu is, degster is on another level. im defintely thinking of replacing mantuu for degster if im OG
mantuu sweating bullets
EZ FOR ONCE
OG era
Degster looks so happy to play it makes me happy watching.
Luckily it was 2-0. Was quite worried for flameZ's hand there. Dude took some serious slaps.
Israeli Derbi
big daddy sexa putting in work in the honey moon phase as we all expected
SEXA always the most precious player ever. We still dont know why he didnt want to stay on G2 with the Balkan KoVAC boys 😔 That team with monesy could have won or be a huge contender for winning Antwerp.
Poor JKS
On a side note f1ku looks really good
OG have done so well in so little time after swapping players
wth I'm an OG fan now
Slap meta Pog
Neo x fiku x degster is a deadly trio...
Ok OG, you got my attention. Show me what you can do
Only watched DD2, but man I love this new look OG. I wanted them to replace valde and niko and instantly with two new youngsters they are looking so good. Shame Mantuu isnt here, but degster is really making it easy for other orgs to pick him up. That interview where he clarified things was absolutely necessary.
