ottoNd, EspiranTo announce free agency

20-1-2021 22:32

The two players' time in c0ntact has come to an end and they are looking for new opportunities.

Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo and Rokas "⁠EspiranTo⁠" Milasauskas are no longer members of c0ntact, the duo has announced on Twitter on Wednesday. The news was released exactly a year after they completed the transfer to c0ntact from their former organization CR4ZY.

ottoNd is now a free agent

c0ntact's first year in CS:GO has been a disappointing one, seeing the roster drop from the 20th place in the world ranking to #46 in December of last year, when they announced that they are open to offers for their players.

ottoNd and EspiranTo were the only two players to stick around the whole year, playing 121 and 115 maps in 2020, respectively. Not including trial player Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield, the Finnish AWPer posted the highest rating for c0ntact this year, 1.09, followed by the Lithuanian rifler at 1.06.

On Twitter, EspiranTo noted that he is "ready to compete and play whatever role needed", while ottoNd mentioned that he is "ready to do whatever it takes".

From the remaining players that represented c0ntact at the end of 2020, Rigon "⁠rigoN⁠" Gashi has already announced his free agency, while reports have linked Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi and Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer to ENCE as a part of a six-man roster.

Good luck

6 man roster will kill CS because those guys could have joined with others and made good competitive teams.

Yes, but do you really think they would've been able to develop the way they have, had they had not been pulled into those top teams and their infrastructure and benefits, and instead had made their own t3-t4 team with a bunch of their friends?

more like brought into a tier 2 team and develop instead of being horded and competition for the scene goes down the drain because 10 teams now have 2 teams worth of talent that could have been healthy competition. it leads to the same 10 orgs instead of promoting new orgs and expansion.

2021-01-22 17:14

but those players were already in said t2 teams before being pulled up?

2021-01-25 16:34

I think you should google it since apparently, you don't know what it means, because it definitely doesn't apply in this situation

2021-01-26 02:34

How mad kangaroos? Maybe if your government didn't ban Google's you'd know

2021-01-27 07:31

Yeah sounds about right

2021-01-27 12:47

Gl i hope ottond gets a good team he is too underrated

2021-01-21 00:44

Best of luck to them!

2021-01-21 00:41

EZ to mouz

Can't complain. Bring 'em in.

Thanks Dad!

2021-01-20 23:44

Maybe Espiranto would work, but I rather seen acor insted ottond any time, ottond can go to havu

2021-01-21 04:37

didn't ask

2021-01-21 13:16

But what do you drop out then?

2021-01-20 22:42

flusha sunny autimatic ottond espiranto? -_-

Auti sadly wants to awp it seems

2021-01-20 22:49

Atleast they should consider it since these guys are free

2021-01-20 23:07

espiranto yes , but ottond fuck no

2021-01-21 02:44

I think they're (sunny, flusha and auti) are looking for 2 youngsters to join them. Sunny said that in a finnish news report. "We want the remaining players to be someone who hasn't been playing as high level as we have."

2021-01-21 13:23

-otto +saddyx

2021-01-22 15:57

I like otto but s2mple top2 but wheres otto?

2021-01-20 22:38

-bot allu +ottoNd

2021-01-21 00:55

Ally is still much better than Ottond

2021-01-21 00:58

very good players otto top 10 - 2021

G2 sExPiranTo

Would be insane 4 insane aimers Espiranto can 2nd awp good they could bring Otto for kennyS and make ex cr4zy 4/5 players reunite.

i was thinking the exact same, just cr4zy with niko basicly, the dream because that team was actually up and coming back then apart from letn1BOT i think it was?

2021-01-20 23:47

Actually, Letn1 was very consistent before switching to shit rolling for the team

2021-01-21 13:46

could be, but the same roster -letn1 +niko would be fun to watch, even tho i dont know who would support

2021-01-21 14:22

This would actually be so good team

2021-01-21 00:46

would actually be a good team along with that Flusha , Auti and Firepower trio.

2021-01-20 22:39

FaZe ottoNd, Espiranto, Coldzera, Karrigan and Broky. EZ

0IQ 2 awpers in a team? kekw

2021-01-21 09:27

yes because we all truly believe broky is a main awper LOL. He needs to rifle and 2nd awp.

2021-01-21 15:29

3 awps? not a chance

2021-01-21 13:47

Find a good team pls you deserve it had so much potential with CR4ZY

They r good, hope will find new home soon. Espi in G2 would be great upgrade, so Carlos dont waste ur time. :)

2021-01-20 22:45

flusha, sunny, autimatic, ottond, msl ? seems pretty good on paper, as long as autimatic and msl dont decide they're main awpers again.. specially msl. ottond needs top be main awper.

2021-01-20 22:46

ur dumb auti already said hes main awping

2021-01-21 06:39

PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE ENCE -Snakellu +OttoNd

Boto

Otto and Espiranto, potentially tier 1 players if used correctly by top lvl IGL

2021-01-20 22:47

I think G2 needs to leave French ppl behind and sign these both as they're free

then whats different from the past? they already had been together in cr4zy

2021-01-21 09:29

And they shown that they can do it especially with Niko they lost to Astralis 2-1 in overtime in major.

2021-01-21 10:14

Over 60 rounds in OT- Major record

2021-01-21 13:49

i dont think so they already played with nexa but didnt show up that well

2021-01-21 09:28

Otto was their best player at Berlin major with 1.13 rating

2021-01-22 16:03

Hope some good team picks my boy Despacito. Gl to Otto too.

flusha sunny espiranto ottond twistzz pls

exactly what i was thinking

Contact most vague org ever

Buy players for around 2 mil and let them go free :) Best org to touch cs ever.

2021-01-20 22:50

I mean you can't blame them, they thought they about to have that major spot, thats a lot of promo for them, stickers... but covid started..

2021-01-20 23:02

They were buying a Major spot.

2021-01-21 13:50

What about Spinx ?

He's rumored to join Ence with Snappi and Dycha

Dycha bestest option for them

They are talented, they could have a future in tier 1 one day

2021-01-20 22:51

For sure especially Espiranto as he's only 19

2021-01-20 22:52

Why do teams keep using Snappi? He never seems to improve their results, yet he's still given opportunities as if he's done things to warrant it. Not hating, it's just strange to me.

2021-01-20 22:57

No decent igl's left to take free so they have to take dogshit ones.

2021-01-20 22:58

I guess, but I'd rather risk it on someone willing to learn the role over someone who has had the chance and largely done nothing of merit.

2021-01-20 23:25

GL!

Rokiz I know ull read this, stop sucking espis dick, every team he was in went up in flames.

2021-01-21 09:31

sorry my bad -niko +csgowilco

2021-01-21 12:47

ENCE can you not see them idiot allu you can retire

2021-01-21 06:58

OG could have a massive upgrade here. -ISSAA +ottond and most importantly put mantuu on ISSAAs position with a rifle. Mantuu is more suited to a rifle role anyway believe it or not. Under a strong IGL Otto will definetely shine brightly and become ultra reliable awper who doesnt whiff easy shots too often. Can also perform reliably under pressure even in the biggest games.

2021-01-21 07:34

Sucks when a bigger team poaches your teammates and you are left with scraps and have to struggle. I am not a fan in particular of those two, but they definitely deserved better. Good luck boys.
