Chaos bring back leaf - Report

27-5-2020 18:47

Chaos have brought Nathan "⁠leaf⁠" Orf back into their starting lineup, according to a report from Rush B Media.

The 16-year-old has jumped back into the fold for Chaos after stepping down from the roster just two weeks ago to discuss a move to Cloud9's VALORANT section, which currently features just one player, Tyson "⁠TenZ⁠" Ngo.

According to the report, talks with Cloud9 broke down and leaf decided to return to his former team, replacing Logan "⁠Voltage⁠" Long, who is leaving Chaos due to personal reasons.

Voltage is reportedly on his way out of Chaos

leaf's return is a massive boost for Chaos as he is widely regarded as one of North America's brightest prospects alongside Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach. He has played six matches for the team, averaging a 1.34 rating.

Chaos have been drawn alongside MIBR, FURIA and Gen.G in Group A of the BLAST Premier Spring Americas Showdown. The tournament will have $142,500 on offer in addition to three spots in the Americas Finals.

Chaos will have the following roster moving forward:

Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan
Anthony "⁠vanity⁠" Malaspina
Erick "⁠Xeppaa⁠" Bach
Jonathan "⁠Jonji⁠" Carey
Nathan "⁠leaf⁠" Orf

Matthew "⁠mCe⁠" Elmore (coach)

fuck yeah man

They have steel anyways, no Major anyways.

2020-05-27 19:50

Cooper is pretty underrated for sure

2020-05-27 19:31

He deserves a shot versus top level teams. Not saying he'll be good, but he deserves a chance to prove himself.

liquid -nitro +cooper ez top3

Worth a shot at this point tbh.

4 replies

if not permanently, at least temporarily bench nitro until he regains his form, since he isn't IGLing he can work on his awping

There was some discussion a while ago to put nitr0 in the coach position, adreN as an analyst and bring in an AWPer instead and put the IGL role on Stew. Now Stew is IGL, so one step is already down. I still kinda wanna see kassad as coach, though.

Wow didnt hear about this yet :O since when Stew's IGLing? Didnt watch them close lately, just saw the flops like they always did :/

2020-05-27 23:55

Last few games. It was kind of under the radar, I think they only started doing it this tournament.

2020-05-28 00:31

Valorant is trash, but I don't think that's the reason he left. He is sick and needs money for his meds. I'm guessing that Chaos is going to pay him. Not sure why he ever left.

2020-05-28 01:41

tf are u talking about? both vanity and jonji are doing good

+1 Fanboys want freakazoid brother to slide into dms

2020-05-27 23:39

idiot steel wont kick vanity or jonji anytime soon

You retarded? Vanity has been their most consistent player.

2020-05-27 18:54

They also need him as the backup igl for steel for valve events

2020-05-28 03:18

They would fight for the top 10 with that lineup, no joke

2020-05-27 20:17

Lmao its remind me of smooya in BIG

NA scene is a fuckin circus right now, i mean, even more than usual

At least It was a good move.

2020-05-27 18:59

+1 agreed

2020-05-27 19:00

Wtf are they doing

Kicking one of the worst players in NA so a good move

2020-05-27 19:30

Lol

nice, voltage is such a bot

fox makes me laugh too. mut no namer lmao nt

2020-05-27 20:40

Don't remember seeing this kid in a major although fox i surely saw.

ROFL HAHGAHAHAHAHAHAA tier 4 players

2020-05-28 13:40

u should thank fox for helping SK on major pathetic

2020-05-28 13:44

why would i thank a tier 5 shit player that never accomplished anything and helped a team that i don't care for

2020-05-28 13:53

good luck mens

who?

lmao

Promising roster to be honest. GL

who brings back who???

Leafy is here

f0rest leafes?

Ez for chinman

how many roster moves is possible in one year? chaos is going for the record

At least they not disbanding. A lot of team would have disbanded by now

HAHAHAHA FUCK VALORANT

its total chaos in Chaos

2020-05-27 20:32

Wtf is going on with this team

I swear to God, they change their roster like once in 2 weeks

good changes tho

niceeee

chaos with the biweekly change

2020-05-27 18:52

Finally they got rid of Voltage, I mean the organization got hit with such low that they had to replace Smooya who was literally smurfing for the duration of his time in the roster with someone like Voltage who was a complete bot.

he was smurfing in Triumph but the went back to bot

he will leave soon as bigger org shows interest

Pretty much... If Valorant esport scene takes off and a big T1 org get him OR he transitions to a top org in CSGO... Either way I dont see leaf being a mainstay in Chaos.

2020-05-27 19:05

if they stick with this team they could be really good. The fact they managed to be competitive with bot voltage in Dreamhack is a good sign, leaf is much better

2020-05-27 18:53

Glad Leaf made this decision. Probably could've been a huge name in Valorant as well but also understands the risk. Hope he has a long career in CS

2020-05-27 18:55

Dead game

2020-05-27 18:58

fak

great move for Chaos, maybe this time they can have a stable roster that lasts more than two weeks

ez comeback

2020-05-27 19:02

Voltage was solid, maybe not flashy or not a star player, but he was solid, I think he deserved a place in this roster, however leaf idk. who is he but his stats are awesome, so idk. what to think about this. I would like Voltage to stay, this Chaos has been loking really good.

2020-05-27 19:03

guy misses more awp shots than a silver

2020-05-27 19:21

Not really. I mean, he is not anything special, he is not flashy, but when he has to, he hits his shots.

2020-05-27 19:23

have you watched him in chaos? this is hardly true. i feel for the guy he was clearly hard on himself on twitter but with even a competent awper they could have beaten furia

2020-05-27 19:39

right choice, but chaos needs to stop changing the line

lets go leaf

Wow. Great move. Been really enjoying following them and was really hoping for an upgrade to Voltage. The other 4 have been very solid and Leaf showed a lot of promise in his brief run before leaving. This team could really make some noise I think

2020-05-27 19:04

Yeah the team looks pretty promising and voltage just simply wasn't good enough atleast when I watched their games in dreamhack masters

2020-05-28 16:31

YES

A player change for Chaos? That has never happened before!

Nice change. Promising if they give him time.

2020-05-27 19:06

Oke

2020-05-27 19:07

WOO!

2020-05-27 19:08

Now -Jonji +Cooper and we have a perfect team. Jonji isn't even full time, hes a stand in

2020-05-27 19:09

It seems that +Cooper is not gonna happen, the report says that "Rush B Media knows that Chaos EC also looked at all available options before going forward with leaf", it seems that he rejected their offer (rumors says that he was asking for too much money)

2020-05-27 19:28

Unfortunate.

2020-05-27 19:29

They didn't contact Sneaky, so obviously they didn't consider all available options.

2020-05-28 01:46

Chaos with canadian flag now ?

Why?

2020-05-27 19:11

2 canadians + another leaf now ? Not sure if that counts

2020-05-27 19:17

Leaf got US flag.

2020-05-27 19:20

ISSA yoke

personal reasons = leave before kick.

leaf is a god, you’ll all see

2020-05-27 19:12

lets go

2020-05-27 19:13

is he an awper?

2020-05-27 19:15

I was wondering how this team would have worked if leaf was back YESTERDAY LOL

nice cuz voltage is a garbage

youtube.com/watch?v=0l20Pac9YWM

A FUCKING LEAF PepeLaugh

2020-05-27 19:25

PepeLaugh

2020-05-27 19:40

Valorant already dead LOL

So this would be the 9th or 10th roster move from Chaos this year?

What is wrong with this team, roster changes every month

2020-05-27 19:42

*every week

2020-05-27 19:43

-steel +cooper Vanity IGL

wait did tenz not want him or something

2020-05-27 19:47

tenz: “do you like anime?” leaf: “no.” tenz: “ok I don’t think this is going to work out.”

2020-05-27 20:00

LOOOOOOOOL

2020-05-27 19:54

learn overpass guys

2020-05-27 19:57

is leaf an awper? if not im sure steel or vanity can pick it up. I'm really glad they're not switching out any other players, since I heard steel was thinking about trying valorant. Glad it isn't happening yet.

2020-05-27 19:58

are we counting this as the first official switch of a former CS pro from Valorant back to CS? I mean, I don’t think leaf was paid by Chaos before he left (so he wasn’t technically a pro), and he never actually became a Valorant pro because talks fell through, but still...

2020-05-27 20:03

No, that would be stupid. Valorant still hasnt had any proper tournaments, nor even a proper professional scene.

2020-05-27 20:05

it'll have so many high tier tournaments when the game releases, the regular tourneys there will probs have higher prize pools than majors in cs

2020-05-27 20:38

It probably will, but his point was what I was addressing

2020-05-27 20:50

Sneaky was the first CS pro to return from Valorant two weeks ago.

2020-05-28 02:08

CHAOS OMEGALUL

2020-05-27 20:04

sick team if they can keep this lineup

2020-05-27 20:14

2020-05-27 20:18

People saying "Great Decision by Leaf". He a 16 y/o, he didn't make any decision. Most likely the C9 didn't want to pay him whatever his dads asked for...

pretty sure he'd take whatever salary they were offering unless it was 500$ or smth cuz hes only 16, the game isnt even out yet and im pretty sure that's his first time receiving an actual salary from a team

He's sick and needs money for meds. He will go wherever the money is.

2020-05-28 01:56

Good thing for NA :)

2020-05-27 20:20

sick lineup nevertheless

good move, voltage definitely had to go

"Logan "Voltage" Long, who is leaving Chaos due to personal reasons." creative way to say that he's leaving for valorant

2020-05-27 20:45

First delusional kid who went to Valorant, realized it sucks/he wasn't going to be good/relevant/rich there from day to night too and returned to CS This Chaos team might become something good if they keep their players. Even though I haven't watched of their games these Xeppa and Jonji dudes seemed to be promising

2020-05-27 21:01

Can we please stick with one roster for at least two months before changing? I feel bad for Steel. He's CONSTANTLY have to make sacrifices and changes...

Every team has too

2020-05-27 23:05

2020-05-27 21:10

imagine -leaf (or jonji) and +cooper on the awp, would be sick

2020-05-27 21:15

Valorant already dying

2020-05-27 21:59

If they bring in Cooper, you know freak wants to be on the team. I really thought infinite would have came back.

2020-05-27 22:02

NA really need some new blood

2020-05-27 22:06

balorant bots commin back already

2020-05-27 23:16

weekly rotation

2020-05-27 23:59

typical dumb ass kid....you dont leave a team for another team until the contract is signed....either way chaos isnt going anywhere....i guess mommy and daddy didnt tell him about contracts...

2020-05-28 00:24

Left even though the deal wasn't guaranteed? Dumbass

2020-05-28 00:22

This is AMAZING for the CS:GO scene. He might not be a household name but he is a 16 year old who is already really good. If CS:GO wants to continue its current trajectory we are going to need kids like him coming into the scene.

2020-05-28 00:23

i dont think he will go to far...there have been kids who had promise but then nothing came of it....look at Tenz....the best so far is Obo from complexity....not a household name but very consistent in his game play...another player who had promise was Asuna but where is he now...

2020-05-28 00:30

Asuna is a moron. He could only play one position per map because he was too stupid to memorize a strat.

2020-05-28 01:52

I get that but I am also looking at it from a team stand point. Steel wouldn't keep someone on his roster that won't abide by his rules so I would assume he would eventually improve (with his in-game ability decision making/teamwork) if he already has the aiming ability. You never know though. I just don't think him and Tenz are comparable when it comes to mentality. Tenz always rubbed me the wrong way but then again.. i dont know either of them personally so I am only stating what I've seen from a public view.

2020-05-30 23:15

i get what ur saying...i just hate seeing players hyped up and then they choke...to be honest i thought Obo wasnt going to last but he's doing good for himself and the team...no secret here but i have first hand knowledge from former chaos players that steel is a big dick and a nightmare to play with...but we all knew that already

2020-05-30 23:45

saved from valorant :)))

2020-05-28 00:29

He's just gonna leaf again at the first opportunity.

Na things

2020-05-28 00:43

A FUCKING LEAF

2020-05-28 00:59

Good thing voltage is out , he was absolutely awful

2020-05-28 01:25

LETS GOOO

2020-05-28 01:36

The kid seems insane but I highly doubt he's gonna stick about if it was that easy for em to switch

2020-05-28 02:06

yes!! bring back the na scene... we need more of this

2020-05-28 02:07

bipolar player hehe xd

2020-05-28 05:42

I like chaos, taking every chance they can to improve the team with better players, ofc they are overkilling it atm but that is just classic tier3 csgo + NA fiesta

2020-05-28 07:22
