spaze joins Gambit

19-4-2016 18:54

Gambit Gaming have announced via their official website that they have completed their squad with the addition of Ivan "spaze" Obrezhan

Gambit had been scouring the market for a new fifth player after parting ways with Jan "⁠wayLander⁠" Rahkonen, citing the inability to "find a compromise" with the the Finnish talent.

Ivan "⁠spaze⁠" Obrezhan joins Gambit for free after Method decided to release their Russian lineup on Monday. While playing for the former PiTER team, the 18-year-old attended the CIS Minor Championship, where he caught Gambit's eye during the semi-final match between the two sides.

spaze signs for Gambit

In a statement, Gambit explained that they believe spaze will "acquire the necessary experience" to compete at the highest level by "working together with veterans of the CS:GO scene".

“spaze is one of the youngest and most skilled players in Russia, who fits our team and playstyle, so our choice was kind of obvious," team coach Alexandr "beast" Yakovlev said in a statement.

"We all are glad to welcome Ivan to Gambit and can’t wait for the first scrims with him. Root for Gambit!"

spaze will make his debut for Gambit on Thursday as the team will take on HellRaisers in the SL I-League Invitational.

The Russian team now have:

Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov
Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov
Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev
Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov
Ivan "⁠spaze⁠" Obrezhan

Alexander "⁠BeAst⁠" Yakovlev (coach)

agreed. hes top 5 russia probably right behind flamie and seized. just too bad waylander is better than him

2016-04-19 18:58

He hasn't proven himself at a international lan tho

He probably didn't even get a chance to prove at international lan tho

2016-04-19 19:12

ye, but judging by CIS LAN`s, he is not even close to "onliner". Very confident player. Like #oldflamie. I dont see problems here especially when he have such experienced teammates.

2016-04-19 19:16

if i remember correctly he had better lan rating than online. but those were regional lans. i expect great things from him though!

Yeah me too! This kid has great potential

who did you hoped for? give example i dont know any active motivated, experienced and skilled cis players

2016-04-19 22:02

holy fug:oooo

nice!

good luck spaze :)

He is russian so no communication problems, he is also by far the best player in ex-method, at least in terms of stats. No so sure if he is better than WayLander tho, but as always - we will see, Gambit has potential to be a solid tear 2 team that can fight against tear 1.

yeah,maybe if they do well they can be like Mouz or CLG

waylander knew russian very well,there were no communication problems

I am aware of that, just saying that Spaze is a promising pick up.

interesting

2016-04-19 19:28

I were happy that they had part ways with WayLander but then adding SpazE? -.-' .. I rly hope to see some good results because my expectations is high.

ples, waylander was 100% better than spaze

2016-04-19 19:35

spaze is reaaallly good online, if he can bring it on LAN he would be an insane pickup for them. young trainable talent that speaks russian. But they are definitely gonna lose that burst potential that wayLander had on LAN. Gl anway

2016-04-19 19:37

Think Electronic would have been better tbh. But gl spaze

2016-04-20 01:59

Anyone know why they didn't choose electronic? Spaze is a good player, but electronic seems like he has the most potential for a CIS youngster. Will be interesting to see how this works out, not sure it will be a huge upgrade from waylander but we'll see.

2016-04-19 20:07

Electronic plays in Empire, and have contract with them. Empire is a solid russian org, and even maybe Empire org > Gambit org.

2016-04-19 20:18

thanks, didn't realize Empire org was that legit.

2016-04-19 20:36

Because he doesn't show up against good teams

downgrade

2016-04-19 20:16

anotha sex god

Gl for Gambit! Will see, better he then waylander or no.

2016-04-19 20:17

Get ED1K to coach/iglon trial basis......., but i doubt anyone knows where to even find him these days nor that he has much of csgo experience. I think he stoppedplaying even for fun with friends :( i know hes been playing with hooch and dosia in the early days of GO, so i guess its a NO...
