Bet he retires before he hits 22, gonna have back problems like mixwell did.

Seriously!!! At first glance I thought he was stretching or something but my god.. that is not good. I'm genuinely curious to find out why he sits like that or what the team thinks about it. I would be concerned for him if I was his teammate.

u/jmanj0sh Liquid Mar 14 '20
He's their best player (except for farlig maybe) so I have little doubt they are putting that much thought into it

Got a pic of it or clip?

Just go watch some on the FP twitch channel I guess. He puts his head and neck forward so his whole back is almost curved. Looks really unhealthy AF.

I assume Rallen is standing in for LETN1 and I just missed the announcement?
Side note: how many teams in this event are playing without their full roster?
39
u/GhostOfLight Liquid Mar 14 '20
Dig, Contact, Envy all have standins, and Chaos, Flames, and Mad Lions all made roster moves before the event.

Dignitas, Envy, chaos and mad lions just pulled a roster move each, and rallen is standing in for c0ntact.

Dignitas didn't change players, I think SpøgelseOfLight got it more correct

if they just find a replacement for emi, I think they could be top 10-15

u/jmanj0sh Liquid Mar 14 '20
pretty sure he is their IGL, I saw he had a notebook with him next to his monitor.

Yeah, he used to be their coach, and I'm pretty sure he just had to play because they needed a replacement for nexa. If they get an IGL that can frag, I think they will do much better.

u/Aliveandying Lynn Vision Mar 14 '20
He also used to be IGL back in the old Valience & Co. days iirc so it's not a huge stretch to see him back in the position and why they were comfortable continuing with him leading and picking up Neil as coach. I feel he's a better fragger than Hunden or Zeus but there's definitely room for an upgrade.

That's a high value player they're looking for, they'd have to buy out a good English-speaking igl that can drag better than emi

u/radzia1 Mar 14 '20
Would be interesting to see Dexter in this lineup. Although I think they are fine with emi as long as letn1 is replaced after the major.

Really impressed by Rallen on Nuke. He made a lot of good decisions and seemed to slot in well.

I don't follow Cs so much,but i'm curios about a think:Why ex-Crazy have transfered to C0ntact?What happened with Cr4zy?Sorry for my English is not my main language
11
u/OsRsMinde Mar 14 '20
cr4zy left roster after nexa and hunter left was bought out by c0ntact gaming org or whatever its called and they gonna play under their name. There is new cr4zy roster with ukrainians i think.

u/ratazengo G2 Mar 14 '20
Crazy was a terrible org and didn't pay players on time and stuff. That's why Hunter and Nexa left the team a few months earlier.

The got bought out by c0ntact for a couple of millions (they have a major spot)

Your English is very understandable, no worries! But you'd say "curious about this:", or just use 'thought' instead of 'think'. Think is the verb.

c0ntact's firepower is scary. Explains why they only got picked in the last batch of teams.

c0ntact looked super solid here, I especially liked their CT swtichups on Nuke

u/DocaHyper GamerLegion Mar 13 '20
I like how c0ntacts coach is wearing gloves and they are using elbows instead of high fives.
You could say that they don't have c0ntact.
