SKADE bench Rock1nG and rafftu; add Duplicate and Oxygen

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:

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

Bulgaria Nikolay "⁠pNshr⁠" Paunin (coach)

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

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.

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

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.
