degster joins OG CSGO team Stephanie Lindgren\/BLASTOG have announced the signing of Team Spirit\u2019s benched AWPer Abdul \u2018degster\u2019 Gasanov, as reported by Dexerto on July 14. degster will replace longtime member Mateusz \u2018mantuu\u2019 Wilczewski, who has been with OG since the famed Dota 2 organization entered CS:GO in December 2019. His signing comes just weeks after impressing for OG as a stand-in at the BLAST Premier Spring Final. He averaged a team-high 1.16 rating as the team reached the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners NAVI. \u201cAfter an unforgettable performance at the BLAST Premier Spring Final, I couldn\u2019t choose another team,\u201d degster said in a statement. \u201cI feel that with them I\u2019m ready to show beautiful CS and continue to develop myself as a pro player.\u201d A vibrant young AWPer degster burst onto the international scene in late 2020 as part of Espada alongside Robert \u2018Patsi\u2019 Isyanov, another rising Russian star. He joined Team Spirit after the turn of the year and helped them to a semi-final run in IEM Katowice 2021 in one of his first appearances for the team. Team Spirit struggled to remain relevant in the scene for almost a year, but then they shockingly reached the semi-finals at PGL Major Antwerp in one of the greatest Cinderella stories in the game in recent years. Shortly after the event, Team Spirit announced that they were parting ways with degster by mutual agreement due to a difference in views regarding the team\u2019s future. In a statement posted on Twitter, degster explained that his departure was motivated by the team\u2019s relocation to Serbia, expressing his wish to return to Russia. \u201cThe organization wants every player to spend at least nine months per year in Serbia,\u201d degster wrote. \u201cHowever, there are certain personal matters that prevent me from being able to meet these demands.\u201d degster will make his first appearance as a full-fledged OG player in the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, scheduled for August 19-28. The tournament will mark the return of top-tier Counter-Strike after the player break.
