The most shocking one was Device to NIP. Kjaerbye/Coldzera to Faze were also odd signings. Junior to Furia is another contender. Stew to MIBR before Tarik came was also a odd pickup.
i mean FURIA molodoy lol
Imma be honest, G2 stewie last year for Dallas was really outta left field for me
Refrezh was once on cloud9, and Es3tag has been on every team ever
Msl to rogue followed by cadian to rogue
Bondik to tyloo was very random
But the most nonsensical one to me was kjarbye to north
Scream in fnatic
Also neo adren to faze was stupid af and shox to liquid …
Gade to BIG never felt like anyone involved was convinced it was supposed to last or a good idea in the first place
I think a good thing to remember was that xizt was only a standin for Faze and was already on NiP’s bench, since olof benched himself likely relating to health issues. Definitely was good in both ways since Faze ended up winning a trophy with him and improving his stock to end up joining fnatic.
Shox to liquid happened
tabsen on nrg with ptr, legija, gob b and fugly
Bntet to gen.g lol
suNny to ENCE
I have kinda lost the plot to Danish CS, but cadian to Astralis was also something I didn’t understand at all
Kioshima and flusha both on Cloud9… What on earth was that
Also, fuck that FaZe Jersey looks trash lol
vesslan to MIBR felt so odd at the time
rainwaker and patsi to Liquid
Liquid pimp
Rainwaker to Liquid was bisarre
Friberg to optic was always so strange to me
Nexa to Renegades was pretty random
Nexa back to G2, Cadian to Astralis
Yep. They won IEM Sydney 2018.
More random was this player we hadn’t even heard about, cromen from Norway. FaZe won ESL One Belo Horizonte 2018. Yep, an ESL ONE EVENT! Still the only even FaZe and karrigan have won in Brazil, though I stand corrected.
See with Xizt, you atleast knew what he could do and was an experienced pro. With cromen, because he was a stand in for Olofmeister, you didn’t know much. karrigan once said that I think mid-way, say mid-tournament perhaps, he had to reassign role to cromen because cromen couldn’t lurk like Olof, because it’s a difficult role to understand. So karrigan took that role himself.
karrigan is the epitome of IGLing in Counter Strike.
