CLG add Rickeh

CLG has confirmed that the Australian player Ricardo "Rickeh" Mulholland will be joining their ranks, ending James "hazed" Cobb's fill-in period.

Just over two months have passed since James "⁠hazed⁠" Cobb departed from CLG and then returned shortly after to help them out until they find a permanent replacement. The final spot on CLG is now filled, as the former Renegades player Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland will be joining the team.


Rickeh is the first Australian player to join a North American roster 

CLG's CS:GO strategic coach Chet "ImAPet" Singh revealed that Rickeh will be playing the team's secondary AWPer, slotting behind Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen in the pecking order for the big green gun.

ImAPet released the following statement for CLG's website:

"We decided on Rickeh because we were looking for a consistent and experienced talent. Rickeh has shown to be a strong rifler and playmaker in practice. In addition to rifling, he will also be our secondary AWPer in most maps. Koosta will remain our primary AWPer. Rickeh is a great addition to the team and I'm excited to work with this roster and to show that we can be a strong force in future LAN tournaments."

CLG are now:

United States Stephen "⁠reltuC⁠" Cutler
United States Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen
United States Ethan "⁠Ethan⁠" Arnold 
Canada Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta 
Australia Ricardo "⁠Rickeh⁠" Mulholland

You have really strange opinions. Ska isn't even better than most other awpers recently. Occasionally he has a good performance, but he is mostly not great now. I would take JDM, Shazham, or PTR over Ska.

The only issue you'll see with a signing like this is that Rickeh (whose really fucking good) will likely be playing completely new spots and a different T-side role (edit: with a completely different weapon). That shit takes time to get used to.

Yam does igl but the reason for rickeh leaving is rather unknown but its probs something like rickeh not getting along with them anymore or something. And the solution for renegades is definitely a real igl so they can keep yam, he goes back to awping and were sorted

clg's matches are boring. I know that koosta is better than the other players on the team but rickeh is a better awper, he has better movement, better game sense and decision making. Honstely, I don't know what else to excpect from a koosta fan..

There are also a bunch of clips to watch you know. >reads the first sentence >keeps on bashing I never said anything bad about koosta, I said he's overrated by certain people (you know who I'm talking about) and that rickeh is a better player..

not sure if sarcastic or not.. I said "I know that koosta is better than the other players on the team but rickeh is a better awper, he has better movement, better game sense and decision making." How the fuck am I shit talking koosta here?? coldzera is ranked the best player in cs go, but that doesn't mean everybody else is shit. Just shut up already, I know you like koosta but nobody cares.

rickeh>botter either he had a bad relation to his teammates or renegades are just really dumb. Second best player on the team without a doubt, and they kick him.. Rickeh should be the main awp btw.

atter is only a stand in, but i agree rickeh was renegades 2nd best player, they should have dropped yam instead

I agree but yam is their igl and it might be tough finding a new one.

Yam is a solid awper, if u watch there recent matches u will see. He's just as good as Rickeh in most regards. Also clearly he got along better with the team than Rick did. Removing Yam is not the solution at all, he's a very good player. Their problem isn't the players, it's the way they practice and their mindset. They'd be better off bringing in someone like Lightstep or another Aus igl over Atter. That guy don't give a fuck about his stats, he just sets his players up and makes siq calls.

CLG died with jdm going home. Rickeh may not bring CLG back to anywhere.
