Savage returns to CS:GO

10-4-2015 22:22

After retiring in early 2013, one of China's most decorated CS players Bin "Savage" Liu is marking his return to the scene by enlisting in pow's roster.

Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu announced his retirement in early 2013 around the same time that famous Chinese organisation TyLoo decided to embrace CS:GO as a game of potential.

The 1.6 hotshot had helped build TyLoo's fearsome reputation among Western teams as a definite contender at any event they attended and he brought an unprecedented level of firepower to the table to prove his claim.

Savage wants to make a splash in the East Asian CS:GO scene

Although Savage's claims of retirement were never truly wholehearted, as he was seen months later near the end of 2013 competing in the MSI Beat it! China qualifiers in a team called New4, he promptly disappeared off the map in the following year.

And while TyLoo no longer represent the top-dogs of Chinese Counter-Strike, with the honour going to pow who were last seen attending ESWC 2014 after winning their country's qualifiers, Savage is now continuing to showcase his inherent ambition by joining up with the aforementioned pow.

In what is apparently his first time playing CS:GO competitively, Savage will play with former 1.6 TyLoo teammate BingYuan "⁠tb⁠" Li in this new venture. This change means that pow's line-up is now as follows:

NuoZhou "⁠Vgo⁠" Zhang
TianQi "⁠ed101⁠" Han
BingYuan "⁠tb⁠" Li
Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu
ZhaoHeng "ZhaoHeng "⁠813⁠" Yu" Yu

asian players used to have better aim than eu players in 1.6. they only did headshots

He was a really good 1.6 player that played for wNv and TyLoo.

Solo retired from pro-gaming, he is actually in gaming industries. Bail, he is also retired but he often plays CS:GO enemy, i dont know what this guy is doing as far as i seen him he was hitting on some girls in LAN Cafes LOL ari, former member of eSTRO, started to play CS:GO like month ago, but he is not embracing it to play as pro. in South Korea many youngsters are starting to embrace this, and play. First, Team m0nster (now myRevenge.Kr) placed 12th in South East Asia ESEA Open League, even with 100ping. and many other teams are jumping into the scene now.

2015-04-11 10:53

solo <3 but its no chance theyre coming back. i mean both maven and project_kr players... i talked to one guy from pk and he told that theyre playing stupid cs oonline(solo and others..) and some other shitty game, which is popular in asia... there are few teams how are playing good in korea, but i dont know.. to reach that level, that they had in the pas in 1.6 will take them lots of years so yeah.. about savage, he was one of the best 1.6 players in asia back in the day. tyloo has potential. i dont see qz in this lineup, who is sick awper and that's strange little bit. anyways, gl!

You guys don't have to worry about the chinese scene. If they cant beat the rest of asia they're not worth the news. From what I have heard the best teams are in the south east asia region like vietnam and malaysia. Don't even say Australia. Australia is Australia they are not part of Asia.

Having top tier teams from yet another continent just adds depth to the game. It would be cool to see an asian push into CS again. Remember Lunatic Hai and their run in CPL? Some serious nostalgia right there.

2015-04-10 23:22
