Apeks set for a "fresh start" as they transfer-list four players
Dignitas and vENdetta part ways

Unlike most traditional sports and other esport games, Counter-Strike doesn't have a set transfer window within which teams buy, sell, or trade players. Transfer activity is usually higher during the summer and winter tournament breaks, but this year, we didn't witness many blockbuster moves.

apEX and zonic are reportedly going to cooperate in Vitality

Why is it starting to happen now? Well, the Majors in CS:GO are the ultimate goal. They are the events every player wants to qualify for, compete at, and ultimately, win. Organizations want to be there not only because Majors put eyeballs on their team and sponsors, but also due to the extensive financial injections they provide via in-game stickers.

The Regional Major Ranking point system, which punishes teams for making a change to their five-man lineup with 20% deduction, dissuaded some teams from making changes unless they were absolutely necessary. Others were happy with what they had, but underwhelming results in the lead up to PGL Major Stockholm or at the event changed their mind. Additionally, with the end of the year coming up soon, many player contracts are coming to an end, so swaps are unavoidable.

All of this combines for interesting changes listed in this article — which we will continue to update in the coming days.

Report: The big Brazilian reunion

FalleN and coldzera in talks to build Brazilian roster

The biggest talking point since the end of the Major has been the reported reunion of Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo and Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David, first broken by Jaxon.

The same outlet claims that Complexity is considering signing the squad, with a piece of follow-up news linking Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga and Lincoln "⁠fnx⁠" Lau to the project. Our editor Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda doesn't like the idea.

Report: Magisk, dupreeh, zonic to Vitality

Vitality to overhaul roster with Astralis trio for 2022

Another bombshell was dropped shortly following the quarter-final elimination of Vitality from the PGL Major as 1pv.fr revealed that a French-Danish merger was on the cards.

Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon, Jayson "⁠Kyojin⁠" Nguyen Van, and coach Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam are reportedly on their way out of the team, but are still expected to play out the rest of the year for Vitality. That is because Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif, Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen, and Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen will have to wait out for their Astralis contract to expire before taking on a new challenge in their career.

Evil Geniuses turn a new (old?) page

stanislaw, oBo, MICHU depart EG

The prime example of a team way past its expiry date, but still sticking together is Evil Geniuses. The move ended up paying off as they miraculously secured a spot at the Major, despite horrible form throughout the year.

Of course, at the actual event they stood no chance, and not long after going out 0-3 the organization announced sweeping changes in the team. Evil Geniuses is now down to three members: Tsvetelin "⁠CeRq⁠" Dimitrov, Vincent "⁠Brehze⁠" Cayonte, and coach Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele - a core trio whose history dates back to 2017 and NRG. Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz, Owen "⁠oBo⁠" Schlatter, and Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller have become free agents.

The NRG trio is all that is left on EG

FPX quintet up for sale

FunPlus Phoenix discontinue CS:GO division

A relevant team for the biggest part of the year, FunPlus Phoenix hit a rough patch during the summer and failed to qualify for the Major, effectively signing their own death sentence. The Chinese organization pulled out of CS not even a year after signing the team featuring Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk and co., with all five players now on the transfer list.

Spirit to rebuild, mir and chopper exploring options

Spirit transfer-list mir, chopper
Spirit to rebuild roster: "The project's potential wasn't fully achieved"

The CIS side that peaked at #6 in the world early into 2021 had struggled to reach the same heights later in the year, with the inability to make the top 16 of PGL Major Stockholm being the final nail in the coffin for one of the longest-standing five-man rosters.

Spirit first announced that they would be rebuilding, with star rifler Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov and IGL Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov being transfer-listed few days later. The team is currently playing with Robert "⁠Patsi⁠" Isyanov and Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin instead of the duo on their way out.

Astralis lock-in Danish talent

k0nfig, blameF join Astralis; ave to coach
Astralis actively offer Bubzkji to other organisations - Report

Bringing optimism back to Astralis after a disappointing 12-14th finish at the Major, the organization announced the signings of Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke and Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer while the tournament in Sweden was still in full force.

The duo was at the core of Complexity's success in 2020, and at 24 years of age, have a lot more to give. The in-game leadership duties will stay with four-time Major winner Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander, who will be assisted by head coach Alexander "⁠ave⁠" Holdt. Meanwhile, reports say Lucas "⁠Bubzkji⁠" Andersen is on his way out of the team.

Complexity dissolve roster

es3tag and jks transfer-listed by Complexity
Complexity part ways with blameF
poizon and Complexity part ways

Another team that was ended by not qualifying for the Major is Complexity. Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev was the first one to exit, the news of blameF followed, but ultimately the team was left with just Luis "⁠peacemaker⁠" Tadeu as the coach and the duo of Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage and Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen who are transfer-listed. coldzera is a free agent after his short-term contract ran out.

Isn't it the same org as football? They have money to spend, trust me. They are doing this more for their own fun than to actually profit.

2021-12-25 23:38

CIS teams cost less money and taxes, DBL PONEY will ask at least triple their salary

2021-12-09 07:14

They are a poor org

2021-12-21 16:01

How would you know that?

2021-12-26 01:13

Yo le noob, You realise that CS isn't just about the tier one huh? A shitton of orgs are paying far worse rosters with far worse potential, because of their exposure and because it is viable in the tier 3/4 scene. At this point it's just insane that they haven't gotten an org yet

2021-11-30 14:38

Soo many good players available in the market atm, CS viewership hitting all time high and orgs looking to reinvent or step in again. this post major shuffle is gonna be an absolute banger.

7 replies

But you have to be careful with viewers, most come from cis or br. The na and even eu scene are oretty dead except Denmark. Look for example the french scene. Vitality has to go international since there is not enough talent pool.

2021-11-11 13:44

this is not true vitality are just cheaping out yet again their last two signings have been free agents from french pug league, instead of actual talents like Maka, hadji, afro etc even bodyy as an igl instead of apex could’ve been a good move

2021-11-11 15:08

Yeah, also Amanek or Jackz will be free agents in a little. Vitality is choosing to do this, it's not their only nor their best option.

2021-12-25 23:43

Vitality go international cause free money with magisk, dupreeh and zonic ( no need to buy contract lol). Just simple as that. if it was impossible this scenario was that : -Kyojin +bodyy

2021-11-11 15:32

bodyy is such a good guy... Idk if he can fit in RpK/Kyojin's role well, but he definitely deserves playing in a top French team...

2021-11-12 02:02

yeah i agree he deserves To playlist in t1 org

2021-11-15 10:10

All DBL guys and G2 guys could go to Vita, and It'd be better than Astrality

2021-12-25 23:44

Trolling or not? If you have a finnish source please link

gotta be troll

how? he said he has trustworthy souces

Yeah tbh, can't see these three in a team together :DD

2021-11-30 15:19

Cool article, thanks mr Prof

2021-11-11 11:09

who cares

2021-11-11 11:11

some pretty talented players benched

2021-11-11 11:14

Franchise tournaments (EPL, Blast) are ruining CS A few years most of these players would just have made teams together and be able to qualify for tier 1 events because every team had to play the qualifiers, but today all the good teams have locked in spots so qualifiers are full of tier 2 teams who play a terrible online-style of cs thats super hard to beat for players who are used to playing tactical LAN-style CS. Most of the players on that list probably will never compete in tier 1 cs again, because they need an org with at least an ESL Pro League spot and preferably also a Blast spot, unless they wanna play tier 2 online tournaments against teams that you cant prepare for and players that just dry peek and wide swing everything

2021-11-11 11:17

If you want to reach tier 1 you have to adapt and beat them LOL, Gambit from tier 3 to tier 1 top 1 for months, others can do it too

lmao exactly

2021-11-11 11:31

and sit in your bedroom playing online cs with low to zero income for months? Huge respect to the ones that do it, Cph flames, Entropiq, Gambit etc., but none of the players on that list will want to do so. If there was no franchise tournaments with locked in teams, all the current t1 teams would be playing qualifiers for events and those qualifiers would have larger prize pools, more viewers and potentially be on LAN too, making the tier 2 scene/small tournaments much more enjoyable to play, as well as much more reminiscent of the t1 tournaments. Listen to the HLTV confirmed episode with Devilwalk, he sums it up perfectly. Every time FPX played against t1 oppostition at t1 events they looked really good, but because they weren't an ESL/Blast partner team they where at a huge disadvantage, while much worse teams like EG, Complexity and Fnatic got guaranteed games games = ESL pro tour points and HLTV ranking points = invites for more tournaments = more points and so on.

2021-11-11 11:55

i stopped reading ‘they’re not going to want to’ then tough shit, if you dont wanna grind to get back up to the level you think you should be at , bye bye, out of cs you go

2021-11-11 15:10

mr grayhound sign lfo pls

2021-11-11 11:21

Mr Grayhound got signed with Renegades as their manager, because the Grayhound team needed more support from a bigger org. I'd like to think that a big org like Mindfreak could sign LFO without much difficulty.

2021-11-11 14:02

oh thanks for info

2021-11-11 14:03

You should stick with facts writing those news, less what you think etc means better.

Huh?

2021-11-11 17:18

Astralis -lucky +farlig

2021-11-11 11:30

So true, you can easily make at least one top20 team with benched players

2021-11-11 11:33

Finally hltv giving some list for benched player, nicely done

2021-11-11 11:40

Sign Kyojin. Kid is good. 👌

2021-11-11 11:44

I was thinking about OG going full finnish, with Aleksib + zehN + suNny + sergej + ZOREE Or full Danish with zonic, dupreeh, magisk, niko, valde and bubzkji. Honestly dupreeh can try awping he was doing great while device was on medical leave. Maybe it can reinvigorate him. Or add Farlig instead of Bubz. It's unreal the amount of talented players either benched, soon out of contracts or free agents.

2021-11-11 11:49

i mean astralis guys to vitality is already done deal and making og full finnish is really stupid since mantuu and flamez are 3x better than any of the players u mentioned from finland

2021-11-11 13:50

old renegades getting back together?

I likes the benched section Is very nice and can be userful to orgs

-LNZ -BOTSKI +Brollan +STYKO ez top 3 all tournament contender

2021-11-11 12:27

ottoNd is missing and then xqtzzzz also

I'd bench hades and try ottoNd in ENCE.

2021-11-11 13:11

nah hades has been really good for ence, not on lan but online but i doubt it will happend and ottoNd hasnt played faceit or anything in months

2021-11-11 13:20

I think ottoNd is done with pro cs

2021-11-11 23:02

i myself dont think so because his coach from cr4zy and c0ntact tweeted this twitter.com/NeiL_Mcs/status/145874834336.. to the list on this article

>smooya makes fnatic British >Sprout go international >>(again)<< with KEi, BERRY lmao, love those alternative news titles

2021-11-11 14:20

and sprout back to ded team, selling their players :(

2022-01-02 04:43

The Sprout cycle: German team -> no luck -> bring in EU players -> git gud -> sell the players -> back to German squad -> we suck again Repeat x times

2022-01-02 18:35

What happened with Nivera, NBK, Kjaerbye, aizy, Fessor, JuGI, flusha, suNny, sergej, TENZKI ? GORILAZ still a team ?

2021-11-11 15:01

yes the organization will be revealed tomorrow at around 17 pm so all good with gorillaz we are living interesting times

2021-11-11 15:31

Kjaerbye has retired (officially) - Fessor plays for Astralis Talent

2021-11-11 15:48

Nivera plays valorant for team liquid with his brother (ScreaM)

2021-11-11 23:05

nivera (valorant liquid) nbk (valorant?) kjaerbye (retired) Fessor (astralis talent) jugi (retired and went to valorant) flusha, sergej, sunny (gorillaz) tenzki no idea

2021-11-11 23:20

tenzki is still contracted to nordvind with Mirbit on the bench.

2021-11-30 14:05

oh yeah

2021-11-30 14:29

Best news site under new supervision

Should have put some shuffle predictions

Devilwalk COACH JW es3tag jackinho jks flamie

2021-11-11 15:35

allu and zehN to same team plz

2021-11-11 15:58

Damn they are starting to be old :(

Yeah, and the future of Finnish cs doesn´t look too bright. There´s like jamppi who probably isn´t coming back to cs and jimpphat who can´t play in real tournaments atm.

2021-11-12 06:45

sergej could come back if he left gorillaz, it doesnt even have flusha anymore haha

2022-01-02 21:32

kenny, michu, jkaem, zehn, msl or shox

2021-11-11 16:06

Astralis trio to vitality would be interesting

2021-11-11 16:23

it's done deal

2021-12-21 12:09

why do you say that?

2021-12-21 20:07

Because its signed not yet announced

2021-12-22 01:28

goddamn obo...ruined complexity when they were getting to top. and now what? complexity is gone, and eg is gone. What was this all for?

2021-11-11 16:27

Nearly as bad as peacemaker

2021-11-11 18:13

Probably worse, sometimes manage to survive if they rip that leech to the team Peacemaker in time. Tyloo and heroic still standing strong

2021-11-30 14:02

He was not the only reason… and both will come back

2021-11-12 00:59

I think igl should have own list

2021-11-11 17:03

Not all igls are only igls, they can do other stuff too

2021-11-12 01:00

Tarik is benched!??? I thought he was retired from CS and was playing Valorant on a top 10 team wtf

2021-11-11 17:12

He is still benched in the meanwhile

2021-11-12 00:56

Please someone sign party astronauts! Better than bnb at this point and have a pro league spot

2021-11-11 18:31

Because there are still blast and IEM left this year. Teams won’t change core before the big events. I think the major should conclude a season instead of in the middle of the season.

2021-11-11 18:51

It will happen but post major is also normal

2021-11-12 00:58

Mir poizon maden styko Chrisj ( as an IGL cuz I wanted to use all the free agents ) Kassad to coach instant top 5 quality team .

2021-11-13 02:48

styko sunny chrisj oskar ropz almost all free agents

2022-01-02 21:34

Kkkkkkkkk

2022-01-19 17:08

very kooL

2021-11-13 20:19

no one making the first move, i feel something big brewing like s1mple to Schalke Esports or something silly

2021-11-15 13:58

flamie, coldzera, poizon, ISSAA, aizy. Could make a decentish Tier 2 team out of those free agents xdd.

2021-11-16 18:39

thanks for the reminder of my big brain

2022-01-19 17:24

Cold kennyS Magisk Tarik Bntet Coach Zonic

2021-11-16 20:20

Lol

2021-11-30 14:06

Things are really getting wild

2021-11-17 02:21

2021-11-17 18:47

Maybe new NA team?: IGL: Tarik Entry: Stewie2K Support: Rush Awper: Junior Rifler: oBo Coach: kassad? With the major winning Cloud9 core they have that experience that NA needs to build their CSGO scene back right? With Junior you have a good awp talent (Osee as well) and oBo that is a big NA talent as well. very sad to saw him playing shit with EG and complexity earlier. Maybe Cloud9 can sign them or another NA org that want to take a risk again with a full NA roster

2021-11-25 13:03

Note to Prof: es3tag no longer benched as stated in the article (under benched players list)

2021-11-30 13:59

es3tag is not benched mr.HLTV

Forgot about jkaem. Wouldnt he be an upgrade for NIP?

He would be an upgrade for Dignitas, so would Nawwk. I don't think anyone on this list is good enough for NiP. If Dignitas gets both they could sell HEAP to NiP, that would be an upgrade for NiP.

2021-11-30 14:23

Meh, jkaem played seriously good. Obv vs lesser competition but i feel like with his exp he is an immediate injection of quality over heap. Dignitas is a dead ass shit team tbh.

2021-11-30 15:44

Yes, but Heap is fine. Heap replacing Plopski would be better, Jkaem is better than Plopski too, but idk if he would be an upgrade necessarily. It's better to stick to as few nationalities as possible. But obviously Dignitas is bad, that's exactly why I want Heap to get out. Maybe they should get Olof and Dennis to replace Heap and Hallzerk to become a full retired team, Heap could go to a better team, and Hallzerk can go back to farming FPL where he's actually good. Maybe Lekro is too young for them as well (kek).

2021-12-01 10:12

You could make some legit Nordic teams with this: -MSL, Otto M.D., Zehn, Farlit, Espiranto -NATO-Sphinx, Aizyesque, Nawwk, Goldamalgen, Jkiam -AIIu, JeW, Jackisahoe, Boobski, +idk?

2021-11-30 14:21

Why writing their nicks like if you were 7 years old?

2021-11-30 15:24

Because I'm funny.

2021-11-30 16:24

thanks guys for the list

2021-11-30 14:24

Time for the old Renegades reunion tour.

2021-11-30 14:37

aussie team

2021-12-26 09:19

plz send say and mir to a proper team

2021-11-30 14:39

when EXTREMUM will play again? or is it a dead end?

2021-11-30 14:41

60 players waiting for an offer from organizations?

2021-11-30 14:44

New Liquid - NAF - EliGE - nitr0 - BnTeT - shox/oBo would be interesting and fun to watch IMO.

2021-11-30 14:55

VINI is on Liquid already, deal with it

2021-11-30 16:47

Why so aggressive small penis syndrome or your mother never really loved you?

2021-11-30 17:48

Aggressive?

2021-11-30 17:50

It was only a fantasy lineup calm down just DEAL WITH IT. NAF - EliGE - VINI - BnTeT/shox/oBo - nitr0/Junior/oSee

2021-11-30 18:07

I don't know what feelings the "DEAL WITH IT" give you, but I meant that right now it doesn't make sense to make Liquid's lineups without VINI, since he already left FURIA to join Liquid

2021-11-30 18:10

LETS GO LIQUID

2021-11-30 15:39

we can make another one danish team: msl, aizy, farlig, bubzkji, natosaphix you will talk about hard times for orgs, but its better than be a afk this time, players need play competitive, trying to qualify for any tournaments, but they dont, i dont understand, why they stop trying

2021-11-30 16:20

MSL + aizy gives me terrible memories/memes

Thats somme ultimately good work over here. Big up!

2021-12-01 09:52

2021-12-05 12:53

2022

There’s a problem with the link to the liquid article. It links to the snax’s news which is missing on the list of update for the 5th.

2021-12-05 12:56

@admin The link of "Liquid close in on oSee - Report" is not the right one

2021-12-05 13:06

Jkaem BnTeT azr Brehze CeRq

2021-12-05 14:02

+ daps as coach your nickname bro lmao

2021-12-21 14:41

tier 1

G2 +m0nesy or what

2021-12-05 15:32

So many good teams could be formed from these players. I also hope a lot of these super experienced players and especially IGLs take up opportunities as coaches. Would probably be wicked helpful for these teams trying to get towards the top.

2021-12-05 20:25

Whos next?!

2021-12-05 23:47

Mouz with Ropz leaving and Academy players being promoted

2021-12-21 14:14

they're stupid for breaking their academy team. they should rather sell their main team or replace someone with frozen for example

2021-12-21 15:09

I think you forgot to remove Nawwk from the Benched Players list. Also Golden is now a free agent.

2021-12-21 12:19

add Savage to Free Agents

2021-12-21 12:22

Can't wait for the new G2 lineup

2021-12-21 13:12

thanks very clear to see these this way

2021-12-21 13:45

Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson not benched. Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim - free agent Flusha - Benched Savage team - "Free agents"

2021-12-21 15:17

Apex so awesome

2021-12-21 15:22

Such a shame that so many players are just bench locked behind crazy buyouts effectively putting their careers on hold. in esports even a 1 year contract seems like forever.

2021-12-21 15:37

hey are you

2021-12-26 09:18

Love this article thx

2021-12-21 16:52

2022-01-19 17:07

@Professeur Nawwk is no longer benched? He’s in Apeks isn’t he? :P Hope everyone has a lovely day, stay safe and hydrated! <3

2021-12-21 17:28

They added that yes

2021-12-21 19:42

thanks for the update mens)) have a lovely week further, stay safe and hydrated <3

2021-12-25 20:41

Cold to 00nation, Saffee to Furia, new Complexity lineup with Grim + extra salt and Triump. 2022's gonna be really interesting.

2021-12-25 20:52

2021-12-25 22:58

Professeur NICE ONE

2021-12-25 21:05

2022-01-01 15:18

Why did you not write a report on the rumoured MOUZ roster moves?

2021-12-25 21:13

tier 4 team no one cars

2021-12-25 21:19

flair + flag

2021-12-25 21:20

2022-01-19 17:06

Flusha missing on the list. Also funny how you call Bubjzki as a rumored bench

nice stats

2021-12-25 21:48

Pick up aizy, plzzzz

2021-12-25 22:01

no plz

finished player

Flamez fan

2021-12-25 22:38

golden is not benched, he is a free agent

2021-12-25 23:49

#LETSGOLIQUID

2021-12-26 01:21

New roster, dead team, sorry

Kek

Damn, nice work

2021-12-26 07:57

Little in HR

2021-12-26 10:08

Wonder how long orgs are gonna wait before finally announcing/confirming all their roster moves....

2021-12-26 10:11

There's possibility of signing the contract with Vitality today for Astralis guys, as their contract expired on 31th

2022-01-01 12:19

shox free agents? kek

2021-12-26 11:24

no tier 1 event in January?

2021-12-26 14:38

there might be blast but other than that probably no

2022-01-01 12:21

dead month

2022-01-01 15:17

2022-01-01 13:34

I see potential for build 4 teams. But some players which not played 1 year professional are done with CS:GO. And other will have hard time to find team from same country.

2022-01-01 14:27

Team 1 : Trio from Spirit - sdy, mir, chopper + almazer/ lollipop21k + SANJI ( need support player). Team 2 : FalleN , coldzera, steel + 2 another brazilian players from other brazilian team ( Last try for something like swedish Dignitas now ) Team 3. EX-EXTREMUM : - Gratisfaction + poizon or no changes but have to find new organization Team 4. EG : Stewie2K, automatic, RUSH(valde report, but need some to play support), CeRq, Brehze. Hard to find a team : KennyS - 1 year not played professional + childish behavior , allu - 1 year not played , old. probably all EX- FunPlus Phoenix, because manage contract issues. Organization which want to take some players have to connect with people from China. ISSAA - visa issues and country which must play online qualifying for some tournaments. Jackinho - few month professional career. mirbit, denis, kressy, ottoNd, EspiranTo, flusha, JW , MSL , bondik, chrisJ, SPELLAN, NaToSaPhiX - someone are not fit to make eu team and 1 year not played professional tournament.

2022-01-01 14:54

Prof when is the next hltv confirm episode gonna be? any plan maybe next week ?

2022-01-01 15:21

Zoree and jemi missing from the list.

2022-01-01 19:23

Just gotta wait until the 5th!

2022-01-01 20:57

3rd!

2022-01-03 18:48

it is today! so 2 days

2022-01-03 18:54

nah. 4 news happened in 2 days!

2022-01-03 19:32

i dont get what you mean then

2022-01-03 19:44

Why is zonic listed in free agents and not coaches?

2022-01-02 05:11

because he is... not benched or anything

2022-01-03 19:45

still, ropz had to join g2 :~((((

2022-01-08 13:44

nah, -amanek +zywoo

2022-01-10 19:59

Maybe my memory is starting to fade but I don't remember this big team shuffling since I started following CSGO since like 5-6 years ago, this makes this upcoming season very interesting. If only the current map pool would be equally interesting...

2022-01-08 15:32
