DeKay CS:GO Mailbag: What\u2019s up with WARDELL, Team Liquid Expectations, and more (Part 2) With the rise of Evil Geniuses and Fnatic, other CSGO teams are on the slide and could be facing potential roster moves. Which teams are they and what might they do? Find out in the second part of this month\u2019s mailbag below. Where is WARDELL headed? why isn’t wardell on a team? Any rumors on potential teams? \u2014 IcY_Radon (@IcY_Radon) October 27, 2019 I\u2019m sure he has had some interest now that he is a free agent but he has his own reputation as a teammate that has hampered some opportunities, in my opinion. He is a young guy that is still moldable though, so I don\u2019t see that as an issue myself. Friberg with a new Swedish lineup? Have u heard anything about friberg\/the new swedish lineup u talked about in one of ur streams a while back? \u2014 Bobby (@iBobby_CS) October 27, 2019 Friberg turned down more than one Swedish team in recent weeks due to his project with Xizt, but I\u2019m not exactly sure what it involves. It could possibly involve one of the new organizations that intends to play in the new North American league forming, but I\u2019m not entirely sure yet. Time will tell. When will Godsent return? If they are still pursuing the Japaleno players, then not very long I would say. I haven\u2019t heard anything new or different since I reported that information. New rumors on mousesports changes? Any rumours on mousesports changes? The org has been known to step in before when unsatisfied with the results, but all the pieces seem to be there and players only seem frustrated at not performing to the level they know they can, perhaps back room changes? \u2014 Alex (@_alexaddison) October 27, 2019 I heard some rumblings after the Major about a move being considered, but as we all saw nothing happened. I do think they are going to make one soon if things don\u2019t improve. The issue here is that if they decide to change a player a few weeks after everyone else did, there won\u2019t be many great choices at an affordable price. Update on ex-OpTic Gaming roster? Nothing new to report just yet. When is Mirage being removed? Pretty soon, I hope. Which top-three team makes the first change? Out of Liquid, EG, and Astralis. Who makes the first roster move in your opinion? \u2014 Global (@C9Global) October 27, 2019 Team Liquid. If things don\u2019t improve by the start of next year, I can see a world in which a change is made. Hopefully it won\u2019t come to that though, this lineup is still capable of incredible things. Which hypothetical EG-Liquid trade would be best? You have to make one transfer from EG to Liquid (and vice versa) to improve both teams. What is it? \u2014 Jakub Lockstaedt (@Loczeno) October 27, 2019 EG are in a perfect spot at the moment and can still improve further so I obviously wouldn\u2019t make a move if I were them. I also don\u2019t see a clear change that benefits both teams. Pulling one player opens up a new weakness on either lineup in my opinion. CS:GO org appearance fee? Do top cs orgs ask for appearance fee? If so do you know how much? \u2014 S. Archie (@archie0704) October 27, 2019 Yes and it varies heavily. I don\u2019t like to speak on numbers if I haven\u2019t seen them on paper, so I won\u2019t even estimate. Thoughts on Liquid\u2019s drop in form? What are your thoughts on Liquid’s big drop in form? \u2014 Hogne -nesi- Larsen (@nesicsgo) October 27, 2019 I think it is mental more than anything else. Confidence plays a huge part and was a hurdle they had to clear originally to become the best team in the world. It is even harder to regain confidence once you worked for it and lost it. I hope they can find the catalyst that pulls them back into that sweet spot. Swedish scene outside of NiP and Fnatic? Not a whole lot. We have a couple lineups with good AWPers but they lack in-game leading that can take them to tier 1 events or get deep in them. Hopefully someone can come along like Golden did and help them get there. Will the FaZe crisis affect their CS:GO team? Maybe indirectly, but since they spent so much money on Coldzera they are still at least somewhat committed to supporting their team. I really don\u2019t expect it to have much of an impact, although I\u2019m not super well versed in what they are dealing with at the moment. I prefer to just focus on Counter-Strike if I can. Latest on FaZe\u2019s in-game leader situation? How long till Faze realize they need an IGL? Who would they drop\/pick \u2014 Joao Mariani (@joaohmariani) October 27, 2019 In my opinion, you will never see another genuine in-game leader on the roster as long as NiKo is a member of the lineup. It just won\u2019t happen. EG investment the best ever? Evil Geniuses are true investment geniuses? Best investment ever? \u2014 Joao Mariani (@joaohmariani) October 27, 2019 Now that we have seen what the roster has been able to do, yes it was a great investment. It\u2019s not like they got them for a bargain though, they paid top dollar. I think it was beneficial to everyone involved. Will Fnatic success last? Do you think fnatics succes will last? Or will they become worse soon? \u2014 Kampffrosch (@Kampffr0sch) October 27, 2019 Even if they retrace a bit in the rankings, it would still be tremendously better than what they have been doing for the past year. I think they can be happy winning an occasional event and having a chance to beat anyone on any given day. I see them sitting in the top 5-6 area next year for a while.
