mixwell, loWel headline new Movistar Riders team

19-7-2018 11:33

Movistar Riders have announced that they have completed the signing of four players, including high-profile duo Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas and Christian "⁠loWel⁠" Garcia Antoran.

Only Alejandro "⁠mopoz⁠" Fernández-Quejo Cano remains from the previous Movistar Riders squad as the Spanish organisation decided to revamp their squad in a bid to scale greater heights.

loWel is the only player Movistar Riders had to splash cash on, with the 21-year-old having been signed from Tempo Storm for an undisclosed fee.

Movistar Riders official unveil their new team

He will reunite with his former Wololos teammates mixwell and Aitor "⁠SOKER⁠" Fernández in this new adventure, with Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet rounding out the roster after parting ways with Giants on Wednesday.

After previously admitting in an interview with HLTV.org that he wanted to put his country back on the map, mixwell expressed his delight at finally being able to bring "the best players in Spain together", and stressed that he wants to "compete at the highest level" with his new team.

"I left Spain after I was scouted by one of the best organizations in the world, OpTic, when I was 19-years-old," he told HLTV.org. "I left in search of opportunity and to be able to make a living playing CS:GO. I went to the United States of America following a dream.

"Since then, I have been growing personally and professionally. I have failed and I have succeeded. I have lived moments of all kind and met people I will never forget, which has given me the experience and confidence to take on another thrilling adventure.

"During the time I was away, Spain also grew. There are now people investing in the industry, we have strong national leagues, and organizations with the necessary infrastructure to fund great projects. Meanwhile, the best players in Spain have also been growing, each of us paving our own way, but we have never been able to get together to fulfil our dream.

"I am incredibly lucky to have the ability to create a project that I am more passionate about than any other before it, thanks to the help of [Movistar Riders CEO] Fernando Piquer, who has made bringing the best players in Spain together possible in an organization that can rise to the occasion and where we can grow without having to worry about anything other than getting results.

"We wanted to make a team that will excite fans, to create something that has been long in the making: a Spanish team to compete at the highest level. I am aware that it is no easy task, but if there is something I have proven it is that I never give up. I have surrounded myself with good, hard-working people to begin a wonderful new phase in my life, and you’re all welcome to be a part of one of my biggest dreams.

"Today, more than ever, I want to thank everyone who has supported me and stood by my side, and I hope we can enjoy this journey together. I’m back, and in very good company."

Movistar Riders have the following roster:

Alejandro "⁠mopoz⁠" Fernández-Quejo Cano
Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas
Christian "⁠loWel⁠" Garcia Antoran
Aitor "⁠SOKER⁠" Fernández
Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet

Tbh he has nowhere to play. Most of the teams want to have teammates from the same country and Spain has no good team out there. He was like some easy woman going from team to team, maybe he just got tired of that.

they would be better if they got eastor.

2018-07-20 02:57

Mixwell is going to take the main AWP role so eastor don't have space in this team. But he is in a top5 of best Spanish AWP players (Mixwell, Eastor, MusambaN1, blastinho and dragunov, not in order)

who cares about that bald retard who ruined North 2 times because of his big ego

2018-07-19 11:38

Mertz IS inconsistent and they want a "smart awper who kills alot" according to MSL. I'm sure mertzgod is pissed but eh I don't blame them for it, they changed him out and won a t2 tourney with the person they swapped for going nuts, so there's nothing wrong with it. Mertz as he is is still not consistent enough for even t2 CS. Every player struggles once in a while but when mertz isn't on the top of the scoreboard he completely dissappears from the server.

2018-07-19 12:41

meh,north wont change mertz,because WHO can they get be4 the major? NaTo?yep,there is posibility,but if sprout will qualify for the major,no chance,so WHO they are going to take? ofc mertz,btw,Daniel will try his best to show that he's capable of playing at biggest stages in the world so,is it worth to take some noname retard than take mertz?

2018-07-19 21:05

neL leaked North looking to get jdm though. Highly unlikely mertz will stay. Might be better for him as his more agressive playstyle was kinda held back by the structured approach MSL takes.

2018-07-22 13:55

sori for bed englando,im from puur russia

2018-07-19 21:06

MSL said that Mertz is too inexperienced so far to compete at the higher level events. You could see it on facecams at events that he gets very emotional in game, which on a professional level can be a huge issue.

2018-07-19 11:44

stand-in, becausue mertz was ill i think

If you define being bad as ill, yes, he was ill

He was just a stand in

Mertz got benched and mixwell was his stand-in. They are still looking for a new awper

What do you think, would it be good for them to get WorldEdit? (Given he can speak english)

No idea if they are looking for an international teammate or a new danish awper. They should have signed jugi way before he left to optic. Not many giod awpers available atm

2018-07-19 11:42

I think msl said in an interview that there aren't any good available AWPers in Denmark.

2018-07-19 11:46

This. The dude has been hovering around for a bit, let him have a taste of t2/t1

2018-07-19 12:42

I actually wanna see WorldEdit in North, imo he was really good under the leadership of blad3

2018-07-19 11:45

lol karrigan 4 north awp xdd (btw he was awper for tsm for those who do not know)

2018-07-19 13:24

Karrigan was an awper long before TSM, really. At one point he was considered a star in 1.6.

2018-07-20 03:04

Worldedit is not good enough

2018-07-19 12:15

They could give him a try though.

2018-07-19 12:20

He was stand in, mertz still gonna be replaced

Where'd you see that?

2018-07-19 12:13

isnt meison better than all these except for mixwell? and where the fuck is kairi? for what i know about spanish players this would be the best team possible mixwell lowel kairi meison alex/soker

2018-07-19 21:38

ALex and Kairi are IGL. Alex is much better than Kairi. Meison maybe is better than mopoz , but he is irregular as fuck. Btw, DonQ > Meison

2018-07-19 21:49

guess im outdated then. had meison as one of the top players in spain. guess this isnt 2014 anymore, time to move on

2018-07-19 12:51

still a bit of practise and they can bring alot of experience.

2018-07-19 13:01

I see x6 matches, and musa misses easy shots with the awp.. Flipin was good, but he is getting worse every match. Its end is close. His stage has already passed.

2018-07-19 13:05

i guess you right... its been a while since the last time i saw them playing. but i think that any tier1 team need at least 2 experienced players that play on this stages before. look at NAVI FAZE MIBR Astrails and even mouz .

2018-07-19 13:18

Mixwell and Lowel have played Majors...

2018-07-19 14:29

LOL they are old and 1.6 era ended, now they are bots

2018-07-19 16:17

Man, it is a very good lineup, they can achieve something in 5 mounths, building more teamplay, sure that they can rise to top5 in some champs

2018-07-19 12:46

yess finally, solid team

2018-07-19 12:49

2018-07-19 12:48

Jony is overrated.

he might be a little overrated but he's arguably a better aimer than some of the players on this lineup.

2018-07-19 12:55

He is playing with x6 and he is not able to carry them. Naow much better than him. He is only good with awp.

2018-07-19 12:58

2018-07-19 21:18

lowell will be the "star player" with mixwell, which i think is going to give him his confidence back... really hoping they get along and start growing

2018-07-19 23:07

2018-07-19 23:12

Eastor, he's really good

2018-07-20 01:21

do you think he should've been in this roster? instead of who?

2018-07-20 01:31

no, because mixwell wants to be the awp

2018-07-20 17:09

But he said countless times he didn't want to main awp anymore, wtf

2018-07-20 17:24

In DreamHack Valencia, he and his gf told me that he has deciced to be main awp from now, because he found an special shape where he is main awp that being riffler he doesnt have

This is basically like MusambaN1 from 1.6's x6tence. They were never going to win the tournament, but they could place sometimes with the right path. Hard to say if this will actually play out like that, though.

I don't know, but on paper really balanced tean and the best active Spanish players atm, even if it's sad not to see Musa or Flipin being good anymore.
