forZe acquire Norwi, Fierce from Singularity

19-10-2021 15:37

The Russian duo kickstarts a new era for FORZE.

The young rifler Evgeny "⁠Norwi⁠" Ermolin and coach Artem "⁠Fierce⁠" Ivanov have joined FORZE. Both competitors were part of the BEZ ZP roster which Singularity acquired in early September.

The move comes only a day after FORZE announced the removal of Evgenii "⁠FL1T⁠" Lebedev, Almaz "⁠almazer⁠" Asadullin, and Anatoliy "⁠liTTle⁠" Yashin from the active roster following the team's failure to qualify for the PGL Major in Stockholm.

The 20-year rifler old will now play for forZe

Norwi ends his stint with Singularity after 42 days with the squad in which he accumulated a 1.19 rating, helping the team qualify to the William Hill Cup 2021.

"I’m excited for the opportunity in forZe, and I’m happy that Team Singularity have agreed to transfer me even though I’ve only been with them for a short period and came together with the rest of the BEZ ZP squad... I wish my teammates all the best and hope for them and Team Singularity to find success in the future," stated Norwi.

"Our management followed Fierce for a long time and when the time came we offered him to join us. We can say that we know him well. Norwi is a promising young player with good game statistics, who suited us in all game parameters. Fierce also recommended him as a player who will be useful in the updated roster," added Sergei "⁠MegioN⁠" Ignatko, CEO of Forze Esports.

The Russian organization still needs to recruit one more player to have a starting five before the team's debut in the upcoming DreakHack Open November 2021 qualifiers.

FORZE is now:

Andrey "⁠Jerry⁠" Mekhryakov
Aleksandr "⁠zorte⁠" Zagodyrenko
Aleksandr "⁠KENSI⁠" Gurkin
Evgeny "⁠Norwi⁠" Ermolin

Artem "⁠Fierce⁠" Ivanov (Coach)

Cool!

He’s been playing with that core of players for months.

2021-10-19 16:29

42 days if the article is correct.

2021-10-19 18:43

why not Guardian and Seized?

Their time is over.

2021-10-19 15:41

guardian and seized - your team disbands in 2 months

September 7th - Team Singularity sign the roster of BEZ ZP, sign Fierce as coach, and add dshq as manager. Actually only 1,5 months

lmao

now add flamie to singularity

Playing with Navi Junior - if flamie joins this team he will be forgotten like Guardian or seized.

Everything doesn't need to be about being #1. Go watch some of their matches these guys are having fun now. Guardian actually looks like he is happy to play again.

2021-10-19 18:49

CAN CONFIRM AS WELL (ASIAN GUARDIAN THO).

2021-10-21 08:39

Even navi junior will win againts singulairty

2021-10-19 16:09

I hope not, the team was actually fragging well.

2021-10-19 18:47

well guardian would make no sense since they already have an AWPer + seized is the igl of singularity i think

2021-10-19 17:06

GuardiaN>>>>>>Zorte

2021-10-20 11:29

at this point in his career no, he hasnt been playing at a carry level at all with Singularity. No reason other than his name value for someone to pick him up at this point, I love GuardiaN but he isnt good enough right now to replace zorte

2021-10-20 15:03

GUARDIAN >>>>>> ZORTE

Nice!

shalfey is 5th so they kind of upgraded overall

17 replies

Shalfey looks decent i guess. But still Norwi is garbage. I wonder where FL1T will go.

2021-10-19 15:48

14 replies

fl1t is confirmed to VP pretty much. Norwi has been good in Singularly, maybe he finally found his form. Either way hes probably an upgrade over almazer

-Who at VP?

2021-10-19 15:58

sanji

2021-10-19 16:00

Huh...interesting. So who will play all the shitty roles?

2021-10-19 16:08

Qikert or buster

2021-10-19 16:10

almazer>Norwi FL1T>Norwi idk this shalfey but they could sign flamie, deko, w0nderful or SANJI instead.

6 replies

almazer isnt better than norwi. fl1t is indeed better than norwi. flamie? hes washed up deko and w0nderful are main AWPers, they already have zorte who is more impactful than any of them. SANJI is meh

2021-10-19 16:01

zorte is good but deko is better w0nderful haven't seen much but he's #1 rated player itw rn

2021-10-19 16:41

deko isn't better, zorte had identical stats as deko in tier 3 too

2021-10-19 16:48

Im better than norwi

2021-10-19 16:36

bait or legit mental handicap?

2021-10-19 18:48

you clearly don't know a shit if you think that almazer is better than Norwi. YOu really dont understand how it works, mate

2021-10-19 18:58

There is no doubt that the FL1T will enhance VP's firepower, but it is not clear how this will translate to VP in general. James will lose his "bank" and will probably kill less :)

2021-10-19 18:08

As an endpoint fan I learned the hard way how good shalfey is

2021-10-19 16:50

shalfey is 0 impact baiter) He will do shit on forze level

2021-10-19 18:23

0/8 hes good

2021-10-19 18:31

oof, glad forze is sticking to csgo must hurt players are leaving their org tho.

gl & hf

expected

damn Guardian has actually been playing a lot of maps.

2021-10-19 15:42

ivanovo gaming

2021-10-19 15:44

forZe will not be relevant again

2021-10-19 15:47

flamie and m0nesy when

=( the poor GuardiaN team

No GuardiaN :(((

2021-10-19 15:53

Nice and rip for singularity

1 rifler remaining...

2021-10-19 15:59

sounds like a thicc downgrade so far

2021-10-19 16:15

who and who?

2021-10-19 16:19

Norwi upgrade? HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAH

2021-10-19 16:26

F1LT to Norwi hah

2021-10-19 16:35

lmao nice GM hahahha Could have sold fl1t to navi for like 500k but instead now they get like 10k or nothing and still lose him without any titles GJ GJ

But fl1t decided that he wants to stay in forze so who cares how much money they could get,. And didn't forze ask for 1.5m $?

2021-10-19 17:15

8 replies

Buyout clause, which means an amount that instantly gets the player with no negotiation, but that isnt usually the price a player gets sold for

2021-10-19 18:00

It doesn't really work like that, he's not slave xD Fl1t didn't want to leave, forze asked for 1.5m buyout to tell navi to fuck off. I checked that and didn't find any article about selling him to navi for 500k.

2021-10-19 18:05

They should have sold him for 500k, which is an amount they most certainly could have gotten

2021-10-19 18:07

5 replies

Any source?

2021-10-19 18:09

perfecto was purchased for 200k, and he was far less valued than fl1t most people thought he wasnt going to be any good Not to mention "When NaVi management came to us with the idea of FL1T’s transfer we cofirmed them, that we were not interested in selling the player"

2021-10-19 18:37

Ok, so u don't have any source. Niko was sold for 500k and at this time he was much better and was more valuable than fl1t.

??? Regardless they would have gotten a minimum of 200k which is better than the 0 they get now. That is assuming you think perfecto was higher valued than perfecto which nobody would have said, fl1t was na'vis first choice. 100% they would have paid 500k had they just negotiated but be low iq if you want

2021-10-19 18:39

Why do u keep talking like his contract ended and VP will get him for free, as far as I now, he still has contract with forze and VP has to pay buyout. But neither forze or fl1t didn't want to make this transfer so what u even talking about XD They can still get nice amount of money cuz VP isn't a poor org and fl1t is still valuable player. They might even get more than navi were ready to pay.

2021-10-19 18:45

How many singularities have there been

2021-10-19 16:52

no guardian no win

2021-10-19 17:14

People actually want them to sign GuardiaN, an old, 1.08 rating awper, which is a role they already have an insane player, instead of Norwi, 1.17 rating young rifler? Thank god some of you arent in charge of orgs.

2021-10-19 17:16

People don't want to accept that legends like Guardian and KennyS are not what they used to be so they keep pushing for them to get chances that they don't deserve anymore.

2021-10-19 18:14

That's not the reason for it, people that have actually watched Trident, Bez zp and Singularity know something you don't. Guardian was their best player for months. Norwi was 2nd or 3rd on board then started performing better in the last 30 days. There wasn't a single player that was bottomfragging even seized is at 2-3 spot of the board sometimes.
