Mythic acquire anger

Mythic have replaced Mike "agM" Abood with Denial's former player Todd "anger" Williams, HLTV.org has learned.

Mythic were one of the few unaffected by the North American shuffle, as the community calls it, up until the last few days of 2014, although after Todd "⁠anger⁠" Williams was left out of Denial, Mythic have used him in on-line matches in CEVO-P.

The team's captain, Alexander "⁠LeX⁠" Deily, has informed HLTV.org that the move is now official, as we see Michael "⁠agM⁠" Abood departing from the roster due to the player's "restrictions", while being replaced by anger.

LeX has given us a statement about the move, shedding some light on the decision, as well as the new acquisition:

6:07 - Stripes - HLTV.org: Mythic LeX^v^ - twitch.tv/LeXCS: I'm proud to announce that Todd "anger" Williams will be joining us as our permanent 5th for the upcoming season. I met Todd at ESEA S17 LAN and admired the fact that his goals, ambitions, his aspirations and motivation to continue competing in CS:GO mirrored my own. After the Denial fiasco, that left him in a tight spot team wise. No one should doubt Todd's dedication to the art and his desire to be the best. He fits a common mentality on Mythic and will be a fantastic fit. 
As for Mike "agM" Abood, I consider him a close and loyal friend. This was the hardest decision I've had to make in CS:GO to date. I'm not a native to the CS scene, I don't take part in "NA Shuffle" drama, I want a stable roster with people who share a common passion and desire to work toward a common goal. But the bottom line is this, 2015 is going to be a big year for North American CS and I want my team to be a part of all of it, and if staying true to my principles meant keeping Mike and not competing, my team's goals would never be reached. It's unfortunate but the reality is Mike is a fantastic competitor, friend, and player that will find a home regardless of his restrictions.
Moving forward, Mythic is going to be a force in the North American scene. We've been close to the top before, I won't let any one of us quit until we've proven ourselves as top talent in CS:GO. Todd will help us reach that goal, as he unequivocally brings experience and insight to the game that will give us an edge we previously lacked. This roster is final, we are using our time now to form bonds that escape most top North American teams and trust in this newly forged brotherhood to acheive anything we set our minds to. This is the dream.
We will be competing in ESEA Invite, CEVO-Professional and will be attending Clutch Con 2015 in Denver, CO. Thank you for all of your support along the way, and to all of our soon-to-be fans I can only tell you to keep your eyes open to the future, as we plan to be a major part in it.
6:07 - Stripes - HLTV.org: Mythic LeX^v^ - twitch.tv/LeXCS: website is non existent, please do not list the mythic.gg site
Mythic LeX^v^ - twitch.tv/LeXCS: we are not involved with incursion at all

Mythic now have:

United States Alexander "⁠LeX⁠" Deily
United States Abraham "⁠abE⁠" Fazli
United States Erik "⁠fl0m⁠" Flom
Canada Warren "⁠hades⁠" Rettich
United States Todd "⁠anger⁠" Williams

The team currently sits at third place of the CEVO-P league with two wins from two matches, including a 16-0 sweep of Area51 and a scoreline 16-7 against VexX.

It's clear u have only watched them the few times they have been on CSGL because you clearly don't know them Anger is washed up? He's still a good player but he chokes when it comes to LAN. fl0m is a decent awp just inconsistent and Abe top frags like every match lol. Their weakest is probably hades but he makes up for it in his leading

i watched more than half of tsts premier matches including post season. anger was utterly shit. especially versus pure. im not saying he is not a good player, ofc he is good. all im saying is he is not invite level anymore(let alone premier). this aint css. also as most of the invite scene agrees that he is not very bright. dude gets easily emotional and lets his team play 4v5. does not seem to have any competitive drive. fl0m is indeed a decent awp. he shines in about 2-3 matches in the entire season. thats about it. you cant be that inconsistent and play primary. just play fucking main.they just scrimmed so far. abe top fragging means jack shit. lets see him vs top invite teams during leauge play. i hate hades. he is a douchebag. but weakest link? lol. im pretty sure you were the one watching matches that were only on csgl. my point being is, they should not have been in invite this season. they re gonna get stomped. and i bet they wont win more than 2 matches(and those 2 wins would probably be against a51)

Anger will be off the team within a month or two, I guarantee it. It seems like he genuinely has "anger" issues and stops communicating mid-match if things aren't going his way. He's a great player but he needs to learn how to be a better teammate IMO. Great pick-up for Mythic if it lasts. They have a pretty legit lineup now, especially if they drop Abe for someone else. (Sorry Abe!)

Anyone who says "old news" ... please. It's maybe new news to anyone who pays close attention to the current rosterflipping joke that the NA scene has become. Nobody else cares sadly. As for anger to Mythic ... I can't really say how good or bad of a move it is since all he really has to show for is his experience in matches. He has performed pretty damn poorly in the ladder end of 2014 and the fact no one wants to keep him speaks volumes about his value to a team.
