adreN to try out for TSM

14-3-2016 11:53

Team Liquid have announced that Eric "adreN" Hoag is currently on trial with TSM.

The 25-year-old is currently on Liquid's books and will play for the North American team at the upcoming MLG Columbus major as Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen - their latest recruit - is ineligible to compete in the $1 million tournament.

During the coming weeks, however, Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag will also be playing for TSM in CEVO Season 9 on a trial basis as the team seek a replacement for Daniel "⁠vice⁠" Kim, who was released from the roster earlier in the month.

adreN is on trial with TSM

According to a statement issued by Liquid on Facebok, adreN "will be back to practice with us [the team] leading up to the MLG event", where they will face FaZe, fnatic and Splyce in the group stage.

TSM, who will take on Complexity in the first round of CEVO Bracket #2, currently have:

Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen
Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta
Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta
Hunter "⁠SicK⁠" Mims
Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag (trial)

Soham "⁠valens⁠" Chowdhury (coach)

Azk and Skadodle were good as well.

2016-03-14 19:47

most definitely, the thing that made them better was cutting adren even if they had multiple igl type players

2016-03-14 19:48

Skadoodle was igl???

2016-03-15 11:01

steel + dazed

2016-03-15 18:56

steel has always been shit.

2016-03-15 00:00

He was meh, still better than adren. serviceable support considering dazed fagged ok

2016-03-15 00:36

i didnt mean this team bad. lets wait and see

2016-03-14 23:56

nice

wow

gl money team tsm

rip device

2016-03-14 11:55

tsm want to be worse i see

2016-03-14 11:54

TSM just want more news articles so they can get more sponsor money and people buying their merch. They don't really care too much about their team or how many matches they win, simply how much their brand gets spread around. TSM is the worst neglectant father ever.

2016-03-14 11:56

+1, it was obvious they dgaf about their team when dropped astralis and picked up some NA team with players without pictures on hltv lol

2016-03-14 12:00

Well Astralis dropped TSM because they didn't meet their terms. But even so it's weird for TSM to pick such an underdog like the current american team.

2016-03-14 12:19

they spend all their money on their shitty lol team

2016-03-14 13:03

gl adren <3

He could've gotten better

i think he chose to try out for TSM because he still wants to play. C9 probably have tried getting him to coach and it wouldnt make sense if they didnt because C9 are a mess right now with strats

2016-03-14 19:46

AdreN is no leader though, he has a lot of knowledge about the game, but that doesn't make him a good coach /leader

2016-03-15 13:40

C9 dont really need a strong leader. They have freakazoid for that. Adren just needs to work on reading the game and making the right calls and freakazoid will keep everyone in line like what he did with sean

2016-03-15 17:54

who cares NA T4 scene

to me he's a good igl, I hope the best for him!! Liquid = no brain

2016-03-14 11:57

2016-03-14 13:14

I agree. TSM is just too low for him imo. He belongs in a top5 NA team at least.

2016-03-14 17:00

-adreN +adren KAZAHSTAN POWER

2016-03-14 11:58

AdreN*

2016-03-14 12:24

Nope right one, the other one is AdreN

2016-03-14 12:57

his flag lel

2016-03-14 15:55

Still he can talk about adreN, what has the flag to do with this?

2016-03-14 18:36

hfgl, adren is better igl than Semphis, who is better fragger.

do u realize that this is the third igl on the roster? no mtter who is better than who, thats a couple too many igls ffs.

ALL THE NA STRATS!!!11!! :D

2016-03-14 12:32

adreN doesn't want to igl

2016-03-14 18:39

Good Luck adreN :)))

wow tier 10 NA

2016-03-14 12:01

tsm is the shit players from old na teams

2016-03-14 12:02

great tier 4 NA team

lel rip TSM as an org

4 callers on 1 team, amazing.

2016-03-14 12:09

And none of them are top igls in terms of strat or firepower I would like to see some sort of Team Einstein Zeus Pronax Karrigan Ex6tenZ Seang@res Who needs fire power when you got the brainssss

2016-03-14 16:32

The coms would be holerious to listen to. xd

2016-03-14 16:59

imagine they do something like that for all star game where they do IGLs vs pure aimers or something or IGLs vs awpers xD

rip

TSM = the NA CSGO trash-bin ?

2016-03-14 12:10

No question about it.

2016-03-14 12:11

ShahZaM soon to join

2016-03-14 12:17

Should'nt he been practicing with the fucking team so they can make it out of groups!?!?!?!

2016-03-14 12:15

They obviously cant make it out of groups anyway.

2016-03-14 12:22

2016-03-14 12:41

They have the easiest group, Faze fucking blows

2016-03-14 16:09

Good luck. :)

2016-03-14 12:16

3 in game leaders and a coach ROFL

2016-03-14 12:18

2 AWPers, 3 IGLs and the coach, who also has a full time job, is calling. A Y L M A O

I hope they don't make im an IGL.

Poor Eric... I'd rather see him in a premier team than in this team...

2016-03-14 12:28

2016-03-14 12:30

they gonna improve with adren , but i dont get the point of FNS in this roster.

what the fuck are they thinking?

2016-03-14 12:38

NA dream team to clash europeans best=)) good job TSM

2016-03-14 12:39

adren always seems to help lead teams into a spot of being a contender against the top few NA teams, then he gets cut from the team. then he joins a new team and leads them into a top spot i wouldn't be surprised if it happens again. would love to see this source legend get back to the top again

2016-03-14 12:42

This continues the trend of TSM signing-up more stream-friendly players.

2016-03-14 12:49

dunno how to feel about this maybe this is good?

2016-03-14 12:52

Lol just keep adding to the list of rejects, gg.

2016-03-14 12:53

+hunden +gob b 5 igl

2016-03-14 13:02

Why does TSM.US maintained the stats from Astralis? Lmao. These bots are on the top 5 of the HLTV.org stats.

2016-03-14 13:13

Shouldn't even be news

2016-03-14 13:20

It seems as if TSM went from a top 3 team to all the failed players in top NA teams. Top kek.

LMAO

2016-03-14 13:27

hltv.org/?pageid=183&eventid=2071 adreN had a top10 rating at MLG qualifier. Which basically means that he can be a decent fragger/awper (on NA level) when he isn't calling the strats and so

2016-03-14 13:35

yeah decent rating at the MLG qualifier tbh

2016-03-14 13:34

TSM WAS top 3 before. now top 50. stupid choice.. rip..

2016-03-14 13:50

Adren is such a wasted talent in TSM... :D:D:D

2016-03-14 13:58

nice “facebok" m8

2016-03-14 14:02

Nobody cares about NA, pls HLTV.

2016-03-14 14:03

You're the 90th comment

2016-03-14 16:10

Most accurate comment since 1999.

2016-03-14 18:14

SicK and the rejects

2016-03-14 14:04

he was very better overall before 1 year

2016-03-14 14:11

Can these fuckin retarded american orgas stop throwing money at ppl that has NEVER been good at any game and will NEVER be good at any game, fuckin retarded american shitstains. Go sign some tier2/tier3 EU team that actually can post some results

2016-03-14 14:16

2016-03-14 16:12

rofl "try out" adreN is wayy better than all of TSM. RIP TSM org and adren (*)

2016-03-14 14:17

lol no adreN sux even more

2016-03-14 16:42

who care about NA cs

2016-03-14 14:18

To get into this prestige-us team of legends a player must sustain four extreme tests which include hand-to-hand combat against a hundred china men, walk through fire and defeat a demon. Only then may a person like Hoag be worthy of taking part in this extraordinary team. A privilege only a chosen few mortals will reach in their life time.

2016-03-14 14:33

RIP TSM

2016-03-14 15:21

This team wont get far lol :D

2016-03-14 15:25

Not bad, big improvement from vice

2016-03-14 15:30

NA rejects

2016-03-14 16:02

WTF TSM WHY KIK TOP3 PLAYER FOR KAZAKH PLAYER WHO DOESNT EVEN SPEAK DANISH kappa

2016-03-14 16:03

refugee squad! SEMPHIS kicked from c9, FNS kicked from CLG, adreN kicked from liquid

2016-03-14 16:08

They literally are just taking the worst player from every NA team.

2016-03-14 16:11

FNS and adreN yes, but SicK was the best player on Denial. auti and SEMPHIS were the 2nd and 3rd best players on coL. This team is ass though lol

2016-03-14 20:53

They did the impossible. They fucked up a horrible team even more

2016-03-14 16:14

Lets go adreN ma boi!

2016-03-14 16:39

I seem to be in the minority, but I think it's not a bad pickup. Semphis is a good awper when he's not calling and I think Adren (if they use him for IGL), will be more conservative and not force up all the time like Semphis has a history of. I'm sure Adren wants to be awper, but I think Semphis should do this instead. I think they'll do better than people think. I don't see them any better than someone like Optic or Cloud9, but a 5th isn't terrible. I don't think they'll make a major, but should be able to hang around just on the outside and be competitive.

2016-03-14 16:45

Imagine this news one year ago

2016-03-14 17:40

just me that thinks their coach looks like a mexican immigrant that works at a garden or some field

2016-03-14 17:43

Semphis and adren clash inc. Why adren whyyy

top2 NA LG is top1

2016-03-14 18:10

Rip Tsm

2016-03-14 19:31

No way Liquid will make it far in the Major with adreN playing with a different team during practice time.

2016-03-14 19:50

TSM still trying now replacing players this roster is still shit and adreN won't make difference they do suck and they will never get better

2016-03-14 20:32

When Liquid had Nitr0 calling it was a mess, adreN had to clean their act up with loose calls just to get the team back on track during HR in the first match. His T-Side calling to play around Oskar was very good during the rematch. The qualifier showed what he can do. There is an interview with the coach James talking about how he picked up the slack when Daps was dropped. That's a real team player imo. Cloud 9 really wants him to coach but I say he should keep playing for a bit longer. Regardless where he ends up he will only help a team and maybe develop young talent in the process. GL Eric!
