OG must cut players after FaZe loss | Richard Lewis reacts at IEM Katowice OG Esports\u2019 CSGO project hasn\u2019t been fruitful, and Richard Lewis explains why it could be time to make changes to the roster \u2013 if the org is willing to pay for a much needed upgrade. The club made a move into CSGO back in 2019, forming a team consisting of Nathan Jordan \u2018NBK-\u2018 Schmitt, Aleksi Antti Kaarlo \u2018Aleksib\u2019 Virolainen, Valdemar Bj\u00f8rn \u2018valde\u2019 Vangs\u00e5, Issa Sameer Issa \u2018ISSAA\u2019 Murad, and Mateusz \u2018mantuu\u2019 Wilczewski. At the time, and to an extent even now, this OG lineup could have come together to be a top contender in the hyper-competitive CSGO landscape. However, with a little over a year-and-a-half together, the squad hasn\u2019t been able to string meaningful results on the big stages with a recent 13th-16th exit at IEM Katowice. Players like Valde and Aleksib are still great pieces to build around, but it\u2019s clear that a lot hasn\u2019t been going well in the OG camp. Astralis\u2019 Andreas \u2018Xyp9x\u2019 H\u00f8jslethpossibly and mousesports\u2019 Robin \u2018ropz\u2019 Kool are possible grabs for teams that are looking to improve. But these players would significantly cost OG, even if they just go for one. If the team wants to alleviate their weaknesses, it would probably mean getting rid of one or two players and committing a large chunk of money for worthy replacements. We\u2019ve already seen heavy hitters like FaZe Clan and Team Liquid make big changes to their lineup for the sake of improvement. OG would have to do something similar to get over their current slump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
