pro100 add YEKINDAR

Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis has joined pro100 on a permanent basis following a successful period as a stand-in during which the team qualified for Toyota Master Bangkok.

The 18-year-old Latvian rifler first burst onto the scene in Wolsung which secured him a deal in the Russian team EPG. He stood in for FORZE this summer in various tournaments and qualifiers but a permanent move didn't materialize.

YEKINDAR started standing in for pro100 in the GG.BET Shuffle Closed Qualifier and signed a permanent deal following their qualification to Toyota Master Bangkok. pro100 had previously trialed Rassim "⁠Jyo⁠" Valijev but the Estonian player couldn't solidify his position within the team.

pro100's roster now features two Latvians

Currently sitting at #46 in the World Ranking, pro100 will be in Thailand on November 20-24 to play in the aforementioned event which will have a $100,000 prize pool.

The current pro100 lineup is as follows:

Ukraine Ivan "⁠AiyvaN⁠" Semenets
Ukraine Dmytro "⁠def⁠" Lemeshchuk
Ukraine Leonard "⁠kenzor⁠" Volodarchuk
Latvia Vadim "⁠Flarich⁠" Karetin
Latvia Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis

Good move, he is super talented and a very promising entry fragger, on top of that he can have a real synergy with flarich, would not be surprised if this teams does big damage in a CIS level. They can become a AVANGAR type of team and reach TOP30.

What is your opinion about making a new and actually good NO team ? I have a roster in mind but since you're from the region maybe you have some special input on the matter?

honestly there are no norwegian igl's besides zEVES that even have tier 3 experience, which limits norwegian teams by A LOT. however, for us norwegians we can (in cs terms) speak fluent swedish and understand it just as well, so that opens up a lot of venues for players/teams. the only thing norwegians lack are IGLs and experience. one lineup for example could consist of cromen - awp/2nd awp rubino - support radifaction - i dont even know what he plays hallzerk - awp/2nd awp zeves (BAD) or some swedish igl but let me hear your lineup😎

I totally agree with what you said, that's why in practice i would just insert the Norwegian players into mixed lineups with Swedish guys but as for the full NO lineup i had two in mind. OPTION 1 : That's your lineup, seems i was right about you. OPTION 2 : Is to have ztk replace zEVES and just placing him as the coach, making RUBINO the IGL with the help of zEVES. That would not hinder any firepower and keep all the good sides from zEVES. LGB : ( cromen, hallzerk, RUBINO, ztk, Radifaction ) +zEVES cromen = Lurker & Secondary AWPer hallzerk = Main AWPer RUBINO = IGL & Support ztk = Revenge Fragger ( Second Entry ) Radifaction = Entry Fragger > The roles are what players actually play if the have the choice to do so. Btw Radifaction is an great entry fragger, probably one of the best entry talent in upper scandinavia ( Norway & Sweden ) behind Brollan.

seems good man, although im not 100% sure on ztk tho, i havent seen him play lately, and there's probably a reason he got kicked from nordavind although im not saying he's bad, cause i know for a fact that he is one of norway's best players. i'm just hoping for jkaem to be cut from renegades or something😎 btw rubino said on stream that if cromen and rubino both dont find teams soon, they're gonna form a lineup together along with some other players, unknown who it is tho

Tbh i have no trust in Nordavind, they kicked two of their best players for absolot trash ones so meh. Also what a waste of AnJ. it's because of Nordavind getting worse i worse i asked you this question in the first place tbh ;D. I hope jkaem stays in RNG, he's getting well paid and does good job for the moment im happy for him. They will probably join a Tempo Storm mixeup if they want to go internationall, but they could also make a Nor-dish lineup.
2018-10-04 01:14

5 replies
first off, totally agree, nordavind is going downhill, and zEVES has a horrible track record when it comes to norwegian lineups he has been the igl in every single one, except for LC where i believe polly/prb was igl, and both of them are retired now after that zEVES has been the only top igl in norway and he's been destroying teams left and right, also he gets mad really quickly it's funny that you mention TS, because innocent's girlfriend said that they're announcing their new lineup in 2-3 weeks, which could (unlikely) mean that cromen/rubino or both are picked up. if that happens, rubino is the perfect t1/t2 support for them, and cromen would be a nice 2nd awp.♿

- Yeah that's obvious, he's not good enough individually and Norway doesn't have a lot of firepower from the get go either so :/. - Yeah both Polly & prb leaded, but at the end he called over Polly. - Oh didn't knew he was an angry guy, any other crispy info ? ;D - Unlikely but possible, and it could be very good considering their roles and what they can bring to a team. Also both played internationnaly which is a plus in itself regarding team chemistry. We agree in that too.

yeah, the only problem with the TS theory is that rubino doesnt want to go international after the dignitas stint, so if he and cromen were to join a team/form a team it would 99% be a scandinavian team rubino's advantage however, is that he can speak danish fluently, idk about cromen tho. also zEVES tilts really quickly in officials, seen it on stream. also one time i saw him calling some guys cheaters and complaining to admin or some shit, i believe they never got banned:DD 😎

- And i also think it would be the best choice, i have no faith in innocent nor HS. - I don't think he will join a danes group like before, cromen doesn't speak any danish and they want to team up so most likely a Nor-dish lineup like we tought. - Terrible thing especially as an IGL. - He's way too low-skill to be trusted on that matter imo ;D.

first off, innocent recently (and in general, but not as much) has been playing very well, hard carrying ts, HS however is actually igl on TS so that explains his drop in performance also i wouldnt discount TS completely, as they've been playing with stand-ins for weeks, maybe months now and yeah zEVES is bad all-round also rubino will go to any decent team that will take him 100%, the cromen-rubino lineup is a fall-back plan all this is info from his own stream that he has disclosed to viewers😎
