frozt in for Mythic

Carey "frozt" Kertenian has replaced Derek "desi" Branchen in Mythic's lineup, ESEA informed.

Mythic have been playing all their league matches with Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen lately after Abraham "⁠abE⁠" Fazli stepped down from the team, but as it turns out, he was in Mythic for a trial period only.

Today he has to say goodbye to the team, as he's being replaced by Carey "⁠frozt⁠" Kertenian, who recently stood in for Area51 and has previously played alongside Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes in Fully Torqued.


desi's journey ended up being unsuccessful once again

frozt also has notable experience from outside of North America from the early days of CS:GO, when he was a part of Sam "⁠DaZeD⁠" Marine's Quantic Gaming.

Mythic's Alexander "⁠LeX⁠" Deily told ESEA.net that desi was cut due to not being "the proper fit" for the team, but stressed that it was by "no fault of is own".

"After a brief trial period with desi, we realized that he simply wasn't the proper fit for what we had envisioned for our starting five and moving into the future, through no fault of his own." Deily told ESEA.net.

"We wish him the best of luck in his future career and hope he finds a solid landing spot that fits his talent. We have decided to add Frozt to our lineup for the remainder of the ESEA League season, as well as other events and leagues. Carey is a player who is hungry for another shot and has time to dedicate to winning. As we finish out our season, we need someone with the desire and the heart to win and frozt has exactly that."

Mythic now have:

United States Alexander "⁠LeX⁠" Deily
United States Todd "⁠anger⁠" Williams
United States Carey "⁠frozt⁠" Kertenian
United States Erik "⁠fl0m⁠" Flom
Canada Warren "⁠hades⁠" Rettich

United States Abraham "⁠abE⁠" Fazli (backup)

As of now, Mythic are sitting at last place of FACEIT League with three losses from three matches, and at third in ESEA Invite with a 8-0-5 score, meaning they are standing on the edge of qualifying to the global finals.

Frozt is a better clutcher and a great awper, but they really could have kicked any other player but desi and had a stronger team, must be some reason no top na team will pick up desi.

Yeah I see desi being the "successful" one here actually. Don't get me wrong frozt is a great player but you already have a dedicated awper and you drop one of the best riflers in NA for another awper? Sounds logical...

Pretty much this, I guess they'd like to do double awp. Not actually sure how Frozt's rifles are at the moment, prett sure he's good with pistol though.
