Xp3 mulls CS:GO adventure

23-8-2013 03:31

French veteran David "Xp3" Garrido has revealed that he is considering giving CS:GO a try.

Garrido was a high-profile figure in the French Counter-Strike scene, having played for teams like aAa and Dimension4, but towards the end of 2008 he moved to the Canada to continue his studies.

In this new continent, Garrido played for a number of top sides, including compLexity, North Stars United and Check-Six, but when his 4Not side folded in September, he quit the game and started playing Shootmania competitively.

Xp3 could switch to CS:GO after ESWC

Garrido has now revealed that he is considering the possibility of going back to Counter-Strike after the ESWC finals in November, where he will be taking part in the Shootmania tournament,

"I am playing Shootmania, but after ESWC I am thinking about making a comeback in CS," he wrote on Twitter.

Garrido was seen playing for Frag Machines in the last ESEA season alongside players like Stephanie "missharvey" Harvey and Jeremy "winrawr" Sperlazza. The team went 2-14 in the league, but with Garrido hinting at becoming serious in CS once again, he is expected to find a place in a top side easily.

don't know him, but good to see

wtf...

2013-08-23 17:49

hey man, he moved to CANADA, not the united states.

2013-08-23 04:04

I've played him in match macking here in north america a bunch of times. He's still got a sour attitude and just yells at everyone. And he's also not that good, not that he ever was

2013-08-23 04:05

next overrated player really :)

2013-08-23 04:06

Have a demo of my buddy in matchmaking doing the pistol juke flash on him hahaha. This shouldn't be news either, he's been playing. He can say it's not serious but he pugs, scrims, and played invite matches for the last year.

VG is on fire, why would they change a player and who would they change?

2013-08-23 08:49

Ex6tenZ

2013-08-25 18:45

he's nowhere near VG's level.. not even close. he's a mediocre to mid tier invite level player in my opinion. and yes he's been playing GO for months in leagues lol.. it's not like he just switched.

2013-08-23 09:18

theyve 5 awesome french player, no need for changes

2013-08-23 11:59

You just got owned, noobie.

2013-08-23 13:46

he was an insane 1.6 player, but he has yet to show anywhere near the same level on GO. Although, the team he was on this season for ESEA was very bad

2013-08-23 09:07

he shouldn't

2013-08-23 09:13

GOD, DAVIDS SO FUCKING CUTE

2013-08-23 09:35

Hi flowsicK

2013-08-23 10:16

Don't do it Xp3! Shootmania is miles better than GO, and you are good at it!

2013-08-23 11:12

i tried to watch the IPL final and must say i never watched an fast paced fps game that is sooo boring as shootmania At quake you have so many thrilling scenes but this is just beyond my understanding. I even played shootmania for a while. Is shootmania even growing in e-sports events?

Na it ain't really growing, but it's still a much more fun to play/watch game than CS:GO. I think it gets a lot more enjoyable to play and watch, once you actually start getting good at the game, and understand more about how good some of the professionals moves are etc.

2013-08-23 11:19

i think we can say taste differs. I mean for me it literaly just looks like hit and run game if you know what i mean. Even though moba players could say that about all fps games in general :D I just a bit suprised. I really loved watching quake matches. And still have the chance to experience high class quake live with faceit and a few smaller tournaments. I would say watching such matches makes even more fun to watch thank cs:go matches. And i am not even playing quake. And never really was active in the scene. And i dont understand much about the game to be honest

2013-08-23 11:24

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who consider Quake being spectacular even without much knowledge about it, neither playing it.

2013-08-25 12:30

Ye, so much variety in shootmania....

2013-08-23 14:07

A whole article about someone who is considering to start playing CS:GO full time, really?

They aren't running out of hard-drive space, the more news the better.

2013-08-23 11:20

Yeah of course, personally i prefer quality before quantity, but I'm sure there is someone out there, far away, who appreciates this aswell.

2013-08-23 11:23

It's always nice to see people returning to CS, though. Especially because the idea of CS:GO 'dying' is very popular nowadays. Some players leave the game, others join.

2013-08-23 15:02

All I'm saying is that, to me, this article isn't intriguing in any way.

2013-08-23 18:36

Cool, he was my fav player

2013-08-23 12:06

Ahahahahahaha "after ESWC" yea because after that Shootmania will be near to die....

2013-08-23 12:24

just Canada, not THE Canada

2013-08-23 13:43

:oo

2013-08-23 14:31

nice, great to see him back.

2013-08-23 14:56

He will be suck, just like Snajdan... :(

2013-08-23 14:58

Probably liked the Skins-update so much that he just had to return!

2013-08-23 15:00

Good Morning

2013-08-23 16:32

Total kills 2177 Total deaths 2175

2013-08-23 21:03

Would be cool if he joins cuLtivation

2013-08-23 21:31

you don't write an article about the igl of the most successful team of all times quitting CS, but write an article about a mediocre individual (in a pro scene sense) considering to start playing?
