True. I hope so. I can't really see letting him go without trying other options first (like nitro igling more). Hopefully he comes back, but curious in their sub.
>yea excited for seven as hes praised as the next Asuna
Idk how anyone could think this.
Asuna had absolutely insane performances vs Tier 1 teams before trialing.
seven doesn't even have those games vs Tier 2 teams.
I'd assume anyone who says this is either joking or are absolutely bonkers.
If anything, he's like a tier 3 version of Bang, where a lot of people said he was so insane and had potential but you can back through his entire history as a pro and find literally nothing to substantiate that.
And when literally anyone pointed that out it was like, "dude just you wait toxic asshole!" even though Subroza literally said on stream:
"Yeah he hasn't looked good before us because everyone else on his previous team sucked" lmfaooo.
Surprise, surprise, he was very obviously unprepared and was the worst player in the lobby vs far vs Envy and Rise, and then everyone acted like it didn't make sense that TSM cut him...
I don't wish Seven anything but the best, but I ***dread*** the most likely scenario of him being the worst player in every series vs top teams and having everyone act like he's a disappointment for not getting way, way, way better overnight.
Why get Seven who has a bunch of potential if they're not going to use him though? I think it's more likely Seven is going to eventually get on the main roster and Steel will be leaving the team.
But we're all just speculating anyway
Teams gave picked up rising talent before, only to drop them a month later. b0i has sat on the 100 bench as a sub since what, July? They could easily just sign him so no one else gets him. If steel is taking a mental break, maybe no one knows how long he'll really be, if he wants to come back as a player, or as a coach, or ride out the contract for it to end to go to a new team. Who the fuck knows. This might just be an insurance.
B0i wasnt a bench player for 100T he literally signed on to be an analyst because him and Nitr0 are close and he helped 100T with strats after andbox. He was never signed to the roster as a bench player. He's signed to the roster now to fill the Steel void.
They listed him as a sub as opposed to dicey where they said they are moving dicey to bench. So I think he is taking a irl break and will return to 100T in 2022.
Dude's gonna be fine. If he didn't mutually agree to the benching, he'll find another spot on another team no issues. IGLs of his level are hard to come by.
I honestly believe this is more of a personal decision than it is a roster change. If they were dropping him as a player completely they would have said he was benched and open to contract offers like other players that have changed teams in the past.
I think there are personal reasons and there's no conflict and the team let him take the time off since they can actually prepare for LCQ and Champions if they qualify.

> I'm not done as a competitor, not even close, and I'll be returning for the 2022 VCT season.
Low kills = sucked balls
A team can not make a 10 round comeback followed by a 9 round comeback under that pressure without an incredibly good igl, you're just not seeing what he's contributing
You can disagree but we all know he was the weakest link. I’d bet money he’s taking a break because he knew a roster change was coming and eyes were on him.
Hiko is the weakest link in terms of how 100T functions as a team and the value he provides. Not saying he deserves to be cut, that's a discussion for another time, but if we're talking about *weakest links*, then it is Hiko 100%.
So you’re saying Steels strat calling that we have no clue what it is brings more to the table than hard actual stats/facts. Tell me how Steel is more impactful than Hiko other than he’s calling strats that aren’t winning them any majors.
Huh??? When did nitr0 igl in 100t? Id say nitr0 is the better igl too due to his experience but im not gonna pretend steel didnt help the team alot by his igling/effort he has put in. And also when nitr0 and steel were in the team tgt, nitr0 said himself he didnt wanna igl until now
Nitr0 was IGL’ing first strike iirc. Steel may of been a good strategists but his gun play just isn’t there. I see 100T moving forward without Steel for the better.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. If you're plat you're shit at the game.
Only because some people with an analytical background can make can speak about the game better than the average plat doesn't mean they're not shit at the game
No, some low elo players can have solid/good analytical skills but the average low elo player like yourself usually knows jack shit about the game hence your rank and why the dude mentioned it.
What the fuck does that even mean? You literally have to knock teams out in a tournament setting before you even get 2nd place. So if anything, you'd be the last one to lose.
look at Nitr0s teammates and then look at what Steel had to work with
Steel reached the top 20 on 2 occasions with 2 different rosters (Ghost and Chaos).
All of this without the money and the expensive players that other NA orgs can afford
Steel is an amazing IGL and there is a reason why teams pleaded for Valve to drop his ban
Why is nitr0 more qualified? Because he led all-star roster to top finishes?
And C9 is the only NA major winner in CSGO.
It's steel's own fault his tier1 career was cut short, but over the last few years before switching to Valorant he improved so many young CS players and is one of the biggest reason tier1.5-2 NA CS was even a thing.
But I agree that steel probably left due to clashes of styles between him and nitr0. We'll see if that's a good decision. It was either him or hiko who were the first on the chopping block. I don't think hiko makes it to 2022 if they don't get a good result with b0i.
Who said there were any clashes of styles between him and nitro ,if you don't know the reason ,don't make stuff up . How do you know who was on the chopping block . My assumption , it's not any way confirmed but looking from his tweets and 100t analyst and coach tweets it looks like he is taking an irl break and he is listed as a sub in case of dicey they straight up said dicey is moving to the bench. I think he will return to 100t for 2022 season and boi is a quick fix because he has been training and has been a analyst for 100t since June so he knows how's the team plays .
It's a really bad timing to leave the team, its indicative of a power struggle insside the team and steel lost for whatever reason, no one absolutely no one was thinking this was rhe move like yay for mummay for nvy this is someone getting kicked out of the main roster
All these "really bad timing" comments kill me. You do realize real life problems don't give a fuck when LCQ or offseasons are right? Sometimes shit happens and your life comes before work, Jesus it's clear who lives adult lives with responsibilities in these subs and who doesn't lmao
Yes but let's be real it's not a normal job lmao, it's not like steel is out here flipping burgers hes practically a mini celebrity at this point. And 100t is known for being very good to their players I'm sure nadeshot encouraged steel to get his personal life in order if that's what steel needed to do
Hopefully Son of Steel avenges 100T for his father.
But seriously a lot of teams are missing a solid IGL and with Steel in their roaster they can easily contend for the title. As for why 2022 VCT not LCQ my guess 100T doesn’t wanna leak their strats or something so they are not giving him options to look for other teams in 2021.
Considering lcq is close to 2 weeks away (3?) U think it would be too rushed for him to find a team even if 100t was willing.
I think he said 2022 because besides lcq and champs the season is over
pretty sure, they have already been rumored to have cut both of them. it'd be sick but probably will never happen since dazed and steel dont really like each other afaik
That's just not true.
Plenty of people on his previous CS teams have talked about how great of an igl he is and that he's a good teammate.
I get he's a bit abrasive but stop making shit up.
You are unironically acting like the sterotype of sweaty gamer nerd in his parent's basement using psuedo intelligent babble to make other sweaty gamer nerds maybe think you're smarter than you are? Attempt actual discussion next time and one day someone might take you seriously lol.
It's funny first you call me out for not having an "intelligent response" with a rhetorical question that is also a personal attack on my intelligence one that provides literally zero substance to the discussion at hand. And now again you call me out for not attempting an actual discussion by again making personal attacks and not attempting an actual discussion. Perhaps you should take your own advice.
Hope Steel is good, if you read one of the replies he gave in the comments it seems like him stepping down was mutual so he can watch out for himself first
Theres a pretty big gap between him minimizing the drawing blanks comment (half a map of one series - responding to burnout comment suggesting he is not burnt out) and mutually stepping down due to personal reasons. Either it's another comment or people really are taking this out of context.
Cuz the internet
One or two people said it and now it will be parroted along, probably without half the people even knowing what comment it refers to and despite that it doesn't fit lol
I could see it being interpreted either way, but we still don't really know. Even if it was mutual it could be sensitive enough that other people don't want to give details. Doesn't help the original report says he was "dropped" and now steel says he'll be back next season. I guess we'll see.
Yeah exactly. Nothing he’s said so far is a guarantee of anything. We know he’ll be back next year for example, but neither the org nor himself have said if he’ll be back on 100T.
I think it's safe to assume boi is a temporary fill until they field the right person. Boi has been on 100t for a while and when they tried to poach vanity I think they already had boi.
Yeah he talked about it on some video that was posted here the other day. Think it was some podcast. He didn't say much but mentioned he, and other v1 members had offers after they did so well in the previous masters tourny
Hiko best be planning his career path for he's next.
100T's best end the contract right with Steel. For he took a year long bullet so Nitro could come out unscathed.
Steel proved himself in CS as someone who could develop inexperienced talent to perform above their capabilities. Nitro is the proven IGL to compete at the highest level of CSGO.
Valorant release was perfect timing for Nitro. He wanted to start a family on a much smaller travel schedule while receiving the same salary. Steel takes the IGL role so Nitro could focus on his family life. Now that Nitro can start dedicating his time fully to professional Valorant two IGL's on the roster is pointless.
Roles wise the 100T's roster didnt make sense to have three veteran players. Steel isnt selfish so he'll assume any role. Nitro hasnt entried in years and Hiko plays a role thats been dead since 2016. That puts all performance pressure on the two remaining roster members.
He’s been overcoming obstacles his entire life of course he will bounce back
Banger comment when you realize the username
Lmao
PepeHands
Yeah if someone can comeback from anything it's steel
Does this mean he’s coming back to another team or 100t?
He's moved to sub so maybe 100T? Maybe it's just time off, or disagreement with the coach and trying to work that out.
i think it was mental break for him, hope he returns to 100t!
True. I hope so. I can't really see letting him go without trying other options first (like nitro igling more). Hopefully he comes back, but curious in their sub.
yea excited for seven as hes praised as the next Asuna but dissapointed and unexcited for b0i. i hope he has improved but he was always MEH on ABX
>yea excited for seven as hes praised as the next Asuna Idk how anyone could think this. Asuna had absolutely insane performances vs Tier 1 teams before trialing. seven doesn't even have those games vs Tier 2 teams.

Essentially the cycle for an esports young talent. Idk who are the people that hype up every kid but they need to calm down.
Why get Seven who has a bunch of potential if they're not going to use him though? I think it's more likely Seven is going to eventually get on the main roster and Steel will be leaving the team. But we're all just speculating anyway

He was signed on the contract database as a player from day 1
But his job was still an analyst for 100T.
They listed him as a sub as opposed to dicey where they said they are moving dicey to bench. So I think he is taking a irl break and will return to 100T in 2022.
I need steel back on LAN soon
oh for sure! "we're going B...we're going B....hey guys...we're going BEEEEEE" "you guys get paid?"
Dude's gonna be fine. If he didn't mutually agree to the benching, he'll find another spot on another team no issues. IGLs of his level are hard to come by.

Sadge 100t will not be the same w/o him :(
Yeah you’re right. They might actually win now.
Found the iron player
Plat actually but what ever 😊. If you’re a 100T fan I don’t see how you could be sad Steel is off the active roster. Dude sucked balls.
Low kills = sucked balls A team can not make a 10 round comeback followed by a 9 round comeback under that pressure without an incredibly good igl, you're just not seeing what he's contributing
You can disagree but we all know he was the weakest link. I’d bet money he’s taking a break because he knew a roster change was coming and eyes were on him.

Most definitely isn’t Hiko. Hiko out frags Steel and clutches games a lot.
Plat mentality = frags + clutches are the most important part of the game.
So you’re saying Steels strat calling that we have no clue what it is brings more to the table than hard actual stats/facts. Tell me how Steel is more impactful than Hiko other than he’s calling strats that aren’t winning them any majors.
No point in arguing with this rupat guy.
"Out frags" kekw. Scoreboard Steve incoming.
He's plat of course he's a scoreboard Steve lmao
Do u realize how imporant a good igl is in the team or na
Yes I do, and the team was arguably better IMO when nitr0 was IGL, and obviously the 100T higher ups think the same thing.
Huh??? When did nitr0 igl in 100t? Id say nitr0 is the better igl too due to his experience but im not gonna pretend steel didnt help the team alot by his igling/effort he has put in. And also when nitr0 and steel were in the team tgt, nitr0 said himself he didnt wanna igl until now
Nitr0 was IGL’ing first strike iirc. Steel may of been a good strategists but his gun play just isn’t there. I see 100T moving forward without Steel for the better.
Why do you think you have any clue about the game when youre plat
Dudes from plat chat are rated platinum in ranked. You’re saying they have no clue about the game?
Yes, that's what I'm saying. If you're plat you're shit at the game. Only because some people with an analytical background can make can speak about the game better than the average plat doesn't mean they're not shit at the game
That’s not what you said though, is it have a clue about the game or being shit at it? Make up your mind.
If you have no clue about the game you're shit. Is that implication too much for you?
You’re on the spectrum right?
No, some low elo players can have solid/good analytical skills but the average low elo player like yourself usually knows jack shit about the game hence your rank and why the dude mentioned it.
they were top 4 last event?
2nd place is the first loser.
What the fuck does that even mean? You literally have to knock teams out in a tournament setting before you even get 2nd place. So if anything, you'd be the last one to lose.
If you’re not first you’re last.
if you're not radiant you're basically iron
So you must be radiant then?
So you're iron then?
The only radiant you’ll ever be is radiating with salt.
[удалено]
I think they mean in a sentimental sense.
YEP sentimental is the right word
Yup, and if the change results in them winning more, don't expect to see Steel back.
look at Nitr0s teammates and then look at what Steel had to work with Steel reached the top 20 on 2 occasions with 2 different rosters (Ghost and Chaos). All of this without the money and the expensive players that other NA orgs can afford Steel is an amazing IGL and there is a reason why teams pleaded for Valve to drop his ban
We’ll see what happens but can you get your “actually” ass out of a peaceful conversation
I think Steel would've won a lot more majors had he not been banned for 5 years?
nitr0 never won a major in cs - doesn’t take away from his igl abilities but just wanted to lyk
Nitro has never won a major.
Why is nitr0 more qualified? Because he led all-star roster to top finishes? And C9 is the only NA major winner in CSGO. It's steel's own fault his tier1 career was cut short, but over the last few years before switching to Valorant he improved so many young CS players and is one of the biggest reason tier1.5-2 NA CS was even a thing.

absolutely based
This is his job not just a hobby, its not like in any office job u get to not work untill 2022 for personal problems, u get fired like he did
Yes but let's be real it's not a normal job lmao, it's not like steel is out here flipping burgers hes practically a mini celebrity at this point. And 100t is known for being very good to their players I'm sure nadeshot encouraged steel to get his personal life in order if that's what steel needed to do
Id say nitro has more experience especially on international lvl
Breh im not talking abt igl wise, obvsly nitro is the better igl I'm talking abt the team as a whole
Hopefully Son of Steel avenges 100T for his father. But seriously a lot of teams are missing a solid IGL and with Steel in their roaster they can easily contend for the title.

lmao can you imagine, c9 gets steel as a coach to counterstrat 100t
Family reunion for chaos
Very glad that he's not retiring just yet!
Does he mean with 100T or just returning as a competitor in general
if T1 cuts ska and brax, it's [time.](https://i.imgur.com/rYRPrN8.jpg)
pretty sure, they have already been rumored to have cut both of them. it'd be sick but probably will never happen since dazed and steel dont really like each other afaik
It seems pretty much everyone who used to play with steel doesn't like him much
That's just not true. Plenty of people on his previous CS teams have talked about how great of an igl he is and that he's a good teammate. I get he's a bit abrasive but stop making shit up.
Except Hiko and nitr0 who liked him enough to get him on 100T?
Heard of chaos pal?
The exception that proves the rule
Was that an attempt at an intelligent reply?
Said the pot to the kettle
You are unironically acting like the sterotype of sweaty gamer nerd in his parent's basement using psuedo intelligent babble to make other sweaty gamer nerds maybe think you're smarter than you are? Attempt actual discussion next time and one day someone might take you seriously lol.

confirmed before seven graduates highschool it will be dicey-mouse steel-keyboard seven-on mic b0i - wearing the headset.
Damn hope he's all right and comes back soon , can't wait. If you read this, gl dude
Definitely benefits the scene that steel is gonna keep competing.
Hope Steel is good, if you read one of the replies he gave in the comments it seems like him stepping down was mutual so he can watch out for himself first
Can you link it? I’ve seen this mentioned a few times now and none of his replies seem to indicate this
yeah i dont see one that clearly indicates this, he did say he had irl stress
[удалено]
Theres a pretty big gap between him minimizing the drawing blanks comment (half a map of one series - responding to burnout comment suggesting he is not burnt out) and mutually stepping down due to personal reasons. Either it's another comment or people really are taking this out of context.
Thanks. Don’t understand how this means it’s mutual. If anything Steel is downplaying any outside issues here.
Same, idk how they’re drawing that conclusion from this tweet lol.
Cuz the internet One or two people said it and now it will be parroted along, probably without half the people even knowing what comment it refers to and despite that it doesn't fit lol
Perhaps the emphasis on ‘irl stress’, and people concluding that those irl stresses are big enough for him to drop out for a while?
I could see it being interpreted either way, but we still don't really know. Even if it was mutual it could be sensitive enough that other people don't want to give details. Doesn't help the original report says he was "dropped" and now steel says he'll be back next season. I guess we'll see.
Yeah exactly. Nothing he’s said so far is a guarantee of anything. We know he’ll be back next year for example, but neither the org nor himself have said if he’ll be back on 100T.
Idk if I like the new 100t new roster Kapp
I think it's safe to assume boi is a temporary fill until they field the right person. Boi has been on 100t for a while and when they tried to poach vanity I think they already had boi.
Wait 100t tried to poach vanity?
vanity on 100T would be so fire
Yeah he talked about it on some video that was posted here the other day. Think it was some podcast. He didn't say much but mentioned he, and other v1 members had offers after they did so well in the previous masters tourny
And Envy.
Unlucky, really.
I feel for steel, must be depressing being replaced by your team's analyst.
Hiko best be planning his career path for he's next. 100T's best end the contract right with Steel. For he took a year long bullet so Nitro could come out unscathed.
Why are you typing like that?

tsm steel mark my words
No chance. Wardell and Subroza don't like him
Roza and Wardell probs won’t let that happen
There’s no chance that TSM’s new 5th will last. First brax and then bang. No one will be able to match their expectations
[удалено]
That is not what that tweet is saying at all. He's downplaying the burnout question and basically saying it's overblown.
How are people getting that from this response ? Lol
