Daps on NRG, tarik and being replaced by stanislaw StarLadder \/ DreamHackCanadian CS:GO player Damian \u2018daps\u2019 Steele has opened up about his turbulent time with NRG Esports, following his replacement by former CompLexity star Peter \u2018stanislaw\u2019 Jarguz on June 11. Dexerto\u2019s DeKay first revealed that CompLexity were looking for a replacement for stanislaw back in May, and the Canadian now has a new home. Stanislaw was quickly swooped up by NRG only days after he himself was replaced on coL by 15-year-old rising star oBo, who excelled individually at the ECS Season 7 finals. NRG\u2019s struggles at the tournament, by comparison, would be their last together with that lineup, as stanislaw has now taken daps\u2019 place on the roster, which he held for over three years. Following the announcement, daps made a lengthy post, detailing his \u201cmiserable\u201d 2017, and the improvements made in NRG over the course of his time there, including being ranked in the top 10 for a number of months. He even revealed that due to the misery of 2017, he was close to quitting competitive CS:GO altogether, but despite the issues his outlook soon changed. He even spent a month as the team\u2019s coach in late 2017, but thanked his teammates for giving him a chance again in 2018, where they even reached top 5 in the world rankings. NRG thanked him for instilling a \u201cwinning culture in the organization\u201d, as he moves to the substitute role. With the addition of stanislaw, @daps will move to the substitute roster. During his tenure, NRG won IEM Shanghai, cs_summit3 and peaked rank 4 in the world. Thank you daps for your tireless work building our CSGO program and instilling a winning culture that has defined our team \u2014 NRG Esports (@NRGgg) June 11, 2019 Daps also revealed that their top three options to replace Jacob \u2018FugLy\u2019 Medina turned the move down, which resulted in the recruitment of Tarik \u2018tarik\u2018 Celic, who, although a proven winner, was not a direct replacement for FugLy\u2019s role. Stanislaw will be taking over as the team\u2019s in-game leader, as per NRG\u2019s official announcement, making his debut on June 12 in the Americas Minor NA Closed Qualifier. I\u2019m extremely grateful for the opportunity to join such an incredible team. I\u2019ve never been more hungry to win. Let\u2019s do this! https:\/\/t.co\/tQdGOdejjB \u2014 21 (@peterjarguz) June 11, 2019 Stanislaw\u2019s \u201cstyle will offset what we lost with FugLy\u201d, Daps explains, saying it should help NRG win tournaments, rather than their current pattern of making semi-finals. Daps is currently benched, but says his situation is \u201cuncertain\u201d, and is open to offers in any field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
