Neo, TaZ, apEX, kennyS in Prague mix

11-7-2013 01:55

Virtus.pro mix will not be making the trip to Prague this weekend, but Aleksey "OverDrive" Birukov has gathered a different set of players to attend the event with - ESC stars Filip "Neo" Kubski and Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas, as well as LDLC.com members Kenny "kennyS" Schrub and Dan "apEX" Madesclaire.

A few days ago we reported that a mix featuring Virtus.pro players Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov, Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow and Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács will be making the trip to Czech Republic for this weekend's 10,000€ Prague Challenge, but today we learned that their organization asked them to skip the event after all.

Alexey "OverDrive" Birukov, who holds the spot and funds the whole trip himself, was left with only Filip "Neo" Kubski on the roster, but they quickly found three players to join them on this adventure.

TaZ still hasn't unplugged his mouse permanently

Kubski's teammate Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas was the first to team up with them, while the lineup was completed with LDLC.com's duo Kenny "kennyS" Schrub and Dan "apEX" Madesclaire.

"I was planning this mix with my friends from VP for a long time, they knew that it's going to be their holidays and they can go, like we did it on several events this year. But suddenly this week when we were booking flights and hotels and I agreed everything with VP managers, they changed their mind and decided that they don't allow ANGE1, GuardiaN and Dosia to go, saying that they need a rest after previous tournaments.

Of course I and the guys from VP were disappointed about that fact, but they should follow their management's rules and it's a normal thing.

I asked my friends Neo and TaZ to find 2 more players to go, and it's good that apEX and kennyS agreed to go with us, so it's going to be another interesting experience for me and I guess for them.

The last "bad" news is that I have 100 hours in CS:GO from game release but I hope it won't be a big trouble :)" – Birukov said to HLTV.org.

The team will be going under the name Nostalgie, same as Birukov's previous mixes that attended Mad Catz Vienna and Copenhagen Games.

Nostalgie lineup for Prague Challenge:

Alexey "OverDrive" Birukov
Filip "Neo" Kubski
Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas
Kenny "kennyS" Schrub
Dan "apEX" Madesclaire

Prague Challenge starts on Saturday, July 13th and HLTV.org will be on-site to bring you complete coverage.

Interesting. Hope this mix wins

Yup. He always pay about everything for everyone in his team. I don't think that any of this mix would spend any of their own money to get to the tournament with some mix.

jOELZ troll or troll?

2013-07-11 20:07

Actually OverDrive would be perfect in your lineup, since he has a lot of money he could buy the trip for your parents too

2013-07-11 17:58

How does this overdrive fellow have all this money? overdrive "The last "bad" news is that I have 100 hours in CS:GO from game release but I hope it won't be a big trouble :)" � Birukov said to HLTV.org." lol, rush site where overdrive plays

2013-07-11 02:01

GL :D

2013-07-11 02:00

now this is an awesome roster. looking forward to seeing it in prague.

overdrive =MAFIA BRO

2013-07-11 02:02

it's gonna be fun to watch for sure. i even think they could win some games if not overdrive in roster, but what can we do :D he's the man with the plan :D adding some skilled french guy instead would be perfect, 3 french on A and poles on B :)

2013-07-11 02:13

kennyS' English skills :PpPppP

2013-07-11 02:06

It will be a good experience for him to practice his English and hopefully in the future he would be able to speak as good as NBK. =)

you are not in the right thread

2013-07-11 05:57

i think guardian should ignore VP manager and go for money :D

2013-07-11 02:23

Very interesting, hopefully more of these comes up and we have more itnernational teams so when we get to hear them at raidcall or whatever everybody understands :D

2013-07-11 02:24

good team, gl

:ddddd

2013-07-11 02:26

SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

2013-07-11 05:58

Where does this guy gets his money?

2013-07-11 02:30

In Russia you're whether rich or poor. Not sure if I answered the question, but his dad owns it ALL!

*Tpo-_-JI.b*, do you know if he is rich?

2013-07-11 09:43

No, he's poor but somehow he funds the whole trip ._.

2013-07-11 12:54

Obviously I dont know him personally to answer this question, but it is/was a known fact since a long time ago that he is a successeful person (his dad) and obviously OverDrive himself and he does have the money and enjoys organizing fun trips like this one. Keep in mind, its not the first time he does that. OverDrive did it in the past as well.

2013-07-11 13:54

OverDrive guy Russian millionaire? haha

2013-07-11 02:33

yes

2013-07-11 05:59

2013-07-11 03:34

over rofl he sponsored info 85%

2013-07-11 03:43

100%

Neo + kennyS = gg

2013-07-11 03:45

Is overdrive rich or something? Does someone have some info about him lol?

2013-07-11 03:51

Good line up... GL

2013-07-11 03:57

happy is better then apex

haha

2013-07-11 05:25

smart ppl dont pay taxes in Russia

2013-07-11 06:02

tsssss! Putin's watching!

2013-07-11 11:12

depardieu?

2013-07-11 17:14

OverDrive, I like this guy :D

i'm guessing they will be speaking english? i'm curious on how communication will work :D

2013-07-11 05:34

They will be speaking russian. The frenchies and poles are going to join an intensive course, funded by Overdrive, to learn the language.

2013-07-11 06:04

LOLOLOLO =D

2013-07-11 22:01

keep in mind that this is a for fun mix sponsored by OverDrive and the main point of it is to have fun, so the language barrier isnt going to be the major fact the teams will be thinking of... The matches will most likely be based on personal skills and luck. Neo and TaX will be sitting besides each other as well as aphex and Kennys while OverDrive will be in the middle and they'll just play their game . . .

2013-07-11 06:06

I guess you're right, but on the other hand is not hard to say some basic stuff just like "One spotted" "C4" "Let's hold/rush" and so on .. I mean, they all know basic english and more .. But you'r right, they're going to play 80% random/aim-based/lucky shots style ..

2013-07-11 19:25

Overdrive is hiring translators to everyone.

2013-07-11 22:20

well this lineup is not going to win if there's even one top 30 team attending(haven't been paying attention, I know..) since kennyS speaks like 10 words of english if even that.. and I'd expect the same from apex as well.. not going to work if they dont have any language to communicate in at all.

2013-07-11 07:04

overdrive is the best! we need more overdrives!

2013-07-11 07:06

yeah i need an overdrive in my life aswell

2013-07-11 11:40

hahahahaha

2013-07-11 19:08

He should sponsor some 1.6 Tournament called "THE REVENGE"

2013-07-11 19:26

I'm curious what does OverDrive do for living?

2013-07-11 07:08

He works as Son :P

He's lucky, I always wanted to acquire that job :( Well, what does his father do, then?

2013-07-11 09:48

i think he owns a company that makes medicine like a lab or something.

hope you're kidding

"VP managers, they changed their mind and decided that they don't allow ANGE1, GuardiaN and Dosia to go, saying that they need a rest after previous tournaments." yeah more like their organner LAN cheat ran out so now you're shitting pant

2013-07-11 07:10

just get out

2013-07-11 07:40

yeah sure go to 2 event need rest? why dosia too overweight? oh they must be so tired from all the activity. sure.

2013-07-11 14:11

"Managers changed their mind and decided that they don't allow ANGE1, GuardiaN and Dosia to go. Of course I and the guys from VP were disappointed about that fact, but they should follow their management's rules and it's a normal thing." Never go full retard..(c)

2013-07-11 22:56

yeah thats what they say manager also know cheat isn't working so now manager shitting pant also

2013-07-12 01:55

OUVERDRAIVE!!!! :D

2013-07-11 07:58

over has about 60 hours in csgo :D

2013-07-11 07:59

Has less than 100 hours of CSGO. Goes to more events than Australians.

2013-07-11 08:16

at least you got ... kangaroos(?) ;]

2013-07-11 10:23

Our Kangaroo cull started yesterday. 1300 kangaroos are getting killed. :(

2013-07-11 13:23

On the plus side, kangaroo wil be cheap in supermarkets! Waiting for UK deer cull...

2013-07-11 16:11

It's always dirt cheap :) Higher in protein than most other meats too

2013-07-11 18:04

perfect for pasha.

2013-07-11 19:13

apEX will learn some basic information in English has KennyS :p

2013-07-11 08:20

That great sounds. Maybe will they win then

2013-07-11 13:04

OverDrive > WOrld

2013-07-11 08:25

GL NEO & TAZ

2013-07-11 08:27

Waste of money. Got better idea for community: Overdrive should organize his own Big Lan Event with nice money purse and invite all the top teams. Finally it would be really great challenge and may push other sponsors/organizers to increase prize money for their champs if it succeeds. Anyway it would be good for community.

2013-07-11 08:39

In that case he could not tell he played with such great players like Neo, KennyS and so on... edit: 'try to think like a rich boy'

2013-07-11 12:01

I think he has to become "rich man", not the "rich boy". Rich man doesn't play games. He sponsores games and becomes famous.

2013-07-11 12:06

awesome mix :D ! could do some damage

2013-07-11 09:31

i will cheer for this team! hf gg

2013-07-11 09:40

wtf how ? KennyS dont speak english :D

2013-07-11 10:02

Overdrive boss Nice line-up, can do some great individual damage

2013-07-11 10:03

"individual" is the main key

2013-07-11 13:57

I will cheer for them! go g2,go kennyS :D

WOW GL !!

2013-07-11 10:24

2013-07-11 10:25

Russian Money :D GL tho .. overdrive pays it everytime he attends a tournament with mix . nice guy

2013-07-11 10:35

yep +1, noone ever done that I guess, at least its not really known, and it;s good to see that at least he spends the money on such a fun getting friends together and go as a mix to different countries rather than spending money on drugs and then die soon after where his money wouldnt help him at all... gl

OverDrive > Obama

2013-07-11 11:01

Russian Mafia with so much money.

2013-07-11 11:02

and the tag will be "Babel Tower"...

2013-07-11 11:30

OverDrive should also bring 5 Russian whores, the finest french wine and a barrel full of Caviar. Caviar smells like shit but it will show the others that they are poor and worthless. jk, OverDrive good guy.

2013-07-11 11:31

gonna be 4on5 w/e nice mix

2013-07-11 11:41

theres no point trying to make such a fun 4v5 ect...the main point here is not that Over only has a 100 hours, but that he did an amazing job paying for everyone's trip on his team himselv to make the even more entertaining and to have fun themselves, so the result does not really matter here...

2013-07-11 14:02

gl :D

2013-07-11 11:52

2013-07-11 12:09

thats actualy realy nice team, but they should've gotten NBK instead of apex imho :S

2013-07-11 12:29

Does apEX even played CS:GO? I can't remember this player from 1.6.

2013-07-11 12:30

he plays for LDLC lol still shouldve taken NKB much better fragger

2013-07-11 12:33

lol, Apex was a famous player from CS:SOURCE, played for verygames, extensive, and now LDLC in CS:GO. Good aimer, aggressive, a lot of experience. Always good in LAN except the last dreamhack.. :(.

2013-07-11 13:06

a lot of experience? da fuq...nbk should play instead of him imo.

2013-07-11 13:29

first of all, OverDrive would need VeryGames organization permission of landing NBK for 1 event. Second thing, would NBK be even interesting to play for them ?

2013-07-12 13:38

GL !

2013-07-11 13:13

i want them in my group!

ggagagahahahahaha overdrive jesus fkng christ

2013-07-11 13:19

THEY GONNA PWN SO MUCH, GL!

might

2013-07-11 14:03

Nice roster, is OverDrive any good tho? I'm surprised some of you don't know ApEX, he was pretty much LDLC's best player at Raidcall ems one?

2013-07-11 13:34

its not that aphex was a good player for LDLC - he still is and still is playing for the team and he's good regarding OverDrive - obviously he's not as good as he could be if he really cared and practiced GO a lot, but he will do his best. He's only got 100 hours in CS:GO since its release, so...

2013-07-11 14:05

OverDrive needs to move to Pakistan and fund a team for ESWC lol

2013-07-11 13:39

Nice from OverDrive but why French guys? O.o

Hah, you all sound like you are 10 times better then OverDrive. I guess, let's wait and see how will he do, how the whole mix will do. Nice idea, good to see ESC guys with "mice plugged in" after the rumours recently, and of course joing by the kennyS + apeX beasts! :) GL to them, will be fun to watch :)

2013-07-11 14:13

Looks like Neo and TaZ still has motivation to play. I'm really looking forward to see these guys play!

If i'm not mistaken, everybody flamed OverDrive and trashtalked how bad he is and shit some time ago. It's funny that most of you by realizing he is bilionaire or something love him right now:D:D:D HAVE A NICE DAY
