SKADE bench Rock1nG and rafftu; add Duplicate and Oxygen

11-6-2020 20:14

SKADE have updated their all-Bulgarian roster with the additions of Viktor "⁠Duplicate⁠" Mitev and Blagoi "⁠oxygeN⁠" Dimitrov, with the duo of Ivan "⁠Rock1nG⁠" Stratiev and Kostadin "⁠rafftu⁠" Turbinov moved to the bench.

The Bulgarian team have opted to revamp the lineup following a period of uninspiring results across several weeks of play in the Home Sweet Home Cups and other tournaments.

Since locking down a spot in ESEA MDL S34 through Season 33’s relegation event in mid-April, SKADE have been unsuccessful in building on previous performances, resulting in a drop of more than 20 spots in the ranking.

Duplicate and Oxygen join SKADE

Duplicate's contract with FATE had expired last month, but he was offered a new deal as the organisation rebuilt the team — meaning that SKADE had to buy him out. On the other hand, oxygeN, who had stood in for the team in the past, was picked up on a free transfer.

"I feel pretty bad that our start lineup didn't work out in the end, as Rock1nG and Rafftu are great guys, but something needed to change," team captain Teodor "⁠SPELLAN⁠" Nikolov said in a statement.

"I'm extra motivated to work with the new lineup. I believe we can achieve great things with Oxygen and Duplicate as they are both interesting fresh talents!"

SKADE are already off to winning ways since the addition of the two young players following a 16-8 victory over AGF in WINNERS League Season 4 Europe, in which they currently hold a 3-1 record. The team will look to end their two-game losing streak in ESEA MDL when they take on ALTERNATE aTTaX on June 19.

With these changes, SKADE now have:

Teodor "⁠SPELLAN⁠" Nikolov
Denislav "⁠dennyslaw⁠" Dimitrov
Aleks "⁠Rainwaker⁠" Petrov
Viktor "⁠Duplicate⁠" Mitev
Blagoi "⁠oxygeN⁠" Dimitrov

Nikolay "⁠pNshr⁠" Paunin (coach)

Ivan "⁠Rock1nG⁠" Stratiev (benched)
Kostadin "⁠rafftu⁠" Turbinov (benched)

very nice

2020-06-11 23:25

just look for @SAiKYCSGO in twitter and read the post from him

2020-06-11 23:32

i did but I wanted to say what is in clips because i cant really understand bulgarian and did spy react to it, did he say smth after it? Do all bulgarians now h8 him? Also what is the thing with blocker watching his watch?

2020-06-11 23:42

he was always hated in the bulgarian scene by almost all the players lets put it in this way - what saiky said was known in the teamspeak for like 2-3 years

2020-06-12 00:29

looking an upgrade

Fee? I tought fate dropped this players a while back.

2020-06-11 20:19

We were told that there was a transfer fee involved

2020-06-11 20:21

Interesting , according to this mobile.twitter.com/FATEesports/status/12.. and this hltv.org/news/29557/former-fate-roster-s.. They were free agents so I wonder who took the transfer money.

I took 😎

2020-06-12 06:57

Niki1 is that you?

2020-06-12 07:19

who cars

So much investment for a team that will never get anywhere. Stop wasting your time skade management and get rid of this squad. dennyslaw and rainwaker do not use their brains at all

I'm shocked they didn't take mar

2020-06-11 20:22

idk a lot about bg scene but from what ive seen r0ck1ng was doing some good damage lately, spellan is garbo and he knows it but he can do better and has a lot exp so thats why is he still there, idk why fate cut kaluber in first place and why blocker is not fiding the place in some of this teams (ik he is signed to new team now but they could have picked him up), and is this oxygen guy a real deal or yolo pick up

2020-06-11 23:09

kaluber and doublemagic left fate because there is too much drama in every bulgarian team

2020-06-12 17:45

Isn't Mar the best in Fate?

No, he is two faced.Go to doublemagic's twitter and read his statement about leaving FaTe

2020-06-11 20:33

yea mar is a pussy

2020-06-11 21:24

who and who replace who and who

2020-06-11 20:39

I'm holding my breath to see how oxygen is

2020-06-11 20:41

2020-06-11 20:43

2020-06-11 21:13

Rock1nG was ok, not anything special, but I don't think he deserved to be kicked. rafftu I didn't really heard much about him but from stats he looks inconsistent so I think good move. Duplicate is solid pickup, he won't make 30 frags but he will frag when he has to, good pickup. Oxygen I have no idea who it is, and he has 0.85 rating so I don't think it's a good pickup. Overall this lineup seems weird, I'm just afraid of this guy Oxygen, other than that seems ok.

2020-06-11 22:02

Bench who and who? Add who and who?

2020-06-11 22:18

Oxygen is always nice to have

2020-06-12 00:00

Rafftu better than ocygen

2020-06-12 00:28

I think the SKADE doesn't know how to take a photo, they are one of best bulgarian team then they just try to show us how do bulgarians look like with these photos?

2020-06-12 01:51

the boys are not bad, the photographer is terrible

2020-06-12 18:25

who who who and who

2020-06-12 02:47

I seen duplicate before and he seemed like he had good aim but I've never seen oxygen before. Idk if oxygen is upgrade over rock1ng, his stats seem pretty bad.

2020-06-12 03:37

Rafftu had to be a goner, great move there with Duplicate. Rafftu was consistently bottom fragging in most, if not close to all, of the matches. He was not an IGL so yeah, no excuses there. Oxygen? I'm not sold on that. KalubeR seemed like a better option given that him and Duplicate don't have problems according to doublemagic. However, he might have just signed with someone so Idk. I feel like Mar wouldn't be on this team with Duplicate and given how Spellan should know better by now than to add someone like mar. Rock1nG always seemed so inconsistent. Kind of sad that Spellan dropped him from his old team, Rock1ng formed/joined SKADE and then later on SKADE took Spellan in and now Spellan is dropping Rock1nG again. Feels bad man

2020-06-12 03:44

I agree but Spellan is not the most consistent player either. If they pursue top 30 Oxygen is not a good choice. The guy is young and needs time to develop. That doesn't mean he is bad, just doesn't have the experience and in critical situations, this will reflect.
