AdreN, mou exit K23

The duo parted ways with the team after failing to secure a spot at the PGL Stockholm Major.

Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev and Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov are no longer a part of K23, the team announced on Sunday. The two Kazakh players that previously cooperated in HellRaisers and Gambit are now back on the market.

K23 were in contention for a Major spot ahead of IEM Fall thanks to respectable placings at the two previous Major ranking events in 2021, but failing to secure any points at the final RMR ended their Major hopes as they were overtaken by Virtus.pro and Entropiq in the rankings.

The two Major winners leave K23

The organization didn't share details about the decision, but mou made it clear that he intends to keep playing competitively despite his exit. The 29-year-old spent the last 20 months representing K23 (previously Syman), peaking at 24th spot in the world ranking and averaging a 1.09 rating.

AdreN joined the team at the start of the year alongside Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev as they created a six-man roster with Aidos "⁠kade0⁠" Khairzhan as the substitute. It remains to be seen whether the 21-year-old will now be given a permanent spot on the team, or will two new players be added to the squad. CIS insider Aleksei "⁠OverDrive⁠" Birukov has hinted at former FORZE AWPer Bogdan "⁠xsepower⁠" Chernikov as a potential new pickup for the team.

K23 are now:

Kazakhstan Sanzhar "⁠neaLaN⁠" Iskhakov
Russia David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan
Russia Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev

Kazakhstan Aidos "⁠kade0⁠" Khairzhan (substitute)

Kazakhstan Aset "⁠Solaar⁠" Sembiyev (coach)

He's been doing this a long time, and has a major under his belt. I can't imagine he still has the same hunger for success that he used to, and as with any player getting up there in age he's probably starting to see life get in the way.

I know lol but my point is if they throw him an insane undeniable payday maybe he would. It's literally their only shot at being decent/relevant. Xse isn't terrible if they get a solid 5th but someone like facecrack really just makes the roster look the same Mou = Xse, Adren = Facecrack

Well, this roster clearly didn't have potential, the firepower was not there, the structure was not there, overall they were pretty dissapointing, I'm pretty sure both AdreN and mou could be a good addition to some teams, mou is still a good AWPer with valid experience, and AdreN is a solid experienced leader, overall I doubt they will stay free-agents for long, I'm more worried about the future of K23 tbh., with AdreN and mou leaving I doubt fame and n0rb3r7 are satisfied with how it looks, maybe they're next, who knows, GL to all the guys.
