kRYSTAL on the lookout for new team

26-9-2018 06:48

Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend is motivated to find a new home, the German player announced via Twitter.

The 25-year-old revealed in a Twitlonger post his trials and tribulations from the past year regarding lineup changes, from reaching the Major under Sprout, his frustrations being benched on Imperial, and not making the cut with Ghost.

Towards the end of 2017, kRYSTAL formed and signed with Sprout, which he led in the New Challenger Stage at the ELEAGUE Major Boston, but, in the end, issues with leadership and differences between him and his compatriots resulted in the players going their separate ways, leaving Amend "frustrated."

kRYSTAL wants to make change for the better

After parting ways with Sprout in May, Amend wasted no time to get back to it, trialing with Imperial for nearly a month before signing with the organization.

Shortly after, kRYSTAL led the team to a DreamHack Open Summer title and a semi-final appearance at the ZOTAC Cup Masters Europe Finals, but a falling out with Rokas "⁠EspiranTo⁠" Milasauskas over changes to his "structure and theory" resulted in the 25-year-old being benched.

It wasn't long after Ghost's captain Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan reached out to kRYSTAL and offered a trial, in which the German player flew to North America and had a one-week bootcamp, before placing third at ZOTAC Cup Masters and reaching a 9-12th place-finish at DreamHack Masters Stockholm. However, he soon found out that his place on the team "most likely wouldn't work out."

"Everything that happened made me the person and the player that I am today. Everytime I had a negative time in my CS career I stood up and bounced back - because I choose so. Found my own way to get back out there and find a new team.

[...] I'm motivated and willing to go the extra mile, always. People say hard work always pay off - so here I am - again looking for a new team. I am very excited and hyped. I want to grind. I want to get better individually and as a team. I hope I get another chance."

So much hate from people on this site that wont be even a third as good as Krystal. Instead of hating for no reason try to cheer the player up. He's worked his ass off to get to where he's at and do what most of you can't. Be a pro.

0/8 tier 4 at most

2018-09-26 14:22

+1 ZTB. I do not know the reason behind the hate, but, krystal make appearances at 4 majors with 3 differents lineups and 1 month ago he lift one DH Open trophy. He's a good leader for an up-and-coming star players or teams, and the things i mentioned above confirm it.

2018-09-26 15:12

I think most people hate him 'cause he isn't that star player with the perfect aim They also don't know what he is doing for the theams he is in

german brain > monkey brain. Everybody knows that, There is a reason why words like "made in germany" or "german engineering" exists

2018-09-26 08:35

ok but theres team made in brazil and no made in germany??

2018-09-26 09:58

Mibr with 2 players from NA and a serbian coach. Why should the germans do something like this? There isnt even a full german lineup in the higher ranks to do this

2018-09-26 11:00

BIG?? english awper, serbian coach, turkish igl, half-polish(?) rifler

So? What do you want to tell me? I said: "There isnt even a full german lineup in the higher ranks to do this" BIG = Berlin International Gaming, not Made in Germany

"Towards the end of 2017, kRYSTAL formed and signed with Sprout, which he led to qualify for the New Challenger Stage at the ELEAGUE Major Boston" They didn't qualify, they had Penta's invite.

2018-09-26 07:28

kRYSTAL qualified though with PENTA, so in a way he led them to the Boston challenger stage by leading PENTA to Krakow playoffs and then forming Seed.

krystal to Valiance, kick jayzar

2018-09-26 08:50

They even plugged him on HLTV. They feel bad for him.

2018-09-26 08:51

look at recent HLTV news. "expert replace P4TriCK with kressy", "Ground Zero add BURNRUOk and deStiny; InfrequeNt and InJect leave" reporting tier 1000 news is what they do because best teams rarely make changes so no news

2018-09-26 09:55

Good igl, needs to step up on the fragging side though

2018-09-26 09:06
