ATK add Cyrix, bLazE steps down

23-10-2021 17:44

Another American will join up with the South Africa-majority lineup.

Following McKinley "⁠Cyrix⁠" Hollison's announcement of joining ATK, the South African side has announced that Josh "⁠bLazE⁠" Saunders is stepping down from the lineup and that the young American will join the active lineup.

Cyrix most recently played with ONET4P, who made the playoffs of ESEA Premier in their first season and also beat Triumph in the recent SteelSeries Prime Cup. At the end of the ESEA season both Cyrix and Sean "⁠Subarashii⁠" Tuttle decided to step down from the lineup.

ATK are next set to play in Premier Season 39 without bLazE

The change for ATK comes after quite a successful ESEA Advanced season, which saw them earn a promotion to the Premier division due to GODSENT pulling out of the tournament. They also qualified for IEM Fall North America after a three-map victory over RBG, in the end placing last at the main event following a 0-5 record in the group stage.

ATK's lineup going into the next ESEA season looks as follows:

Gareth "⁠MisteM⁠" Ries
Rhys "⁠Fadey⁠" Armstrong
Wiljahne "⁠wilj⁠" Smith
Ian "⁠motm⁠" Hardy
McKinley "⁠Cyrix⁠" Hollison

Daniel "⁠sprayxd⁠" Kogan (coach)

Not sure which is worse you calling him subpar or watching enough of him to know he is subpar.

yea he was up there for sure. Unless Cyrix steps it up another notch I am not saying he will be some sort of fix but to call an 18 year old Premier player subpar is ridiculous.

Since you posted ONE match I shall post ONE match. hltv.org/stats/matches/mapstatsid/128707.. Hope you don't think I am arguing he is some sort of bonified game changer. This is easily the best team he has ever been on though so I will hold my opinion until we get to see what he can do.
