daps forms new roster under Orgless banner

14-1-2022 03:27

The Canadian in-game leader will look to bring up a new generation of talent.

The creation of a new North American roster helmed by former Evil Geniuses and NRG member Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele has been formalized, with the team's coach Hunter "⁠Lucid⁠" Tucker confirming to Dust2.us that the team will play as Orgless while negotiations with potential suitors are ongoing.

Among the known members of the lineup are Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green, who recently departed Party Astronauts, as well as Michael "⁠Swisher⁠" Schmid, who spent 2021 plying his trade for Bad News Bears. Both players put up respectable numbers for their teams throughout the year, averaging 1.15 and 1.10 ratings, respectively.

daps' new project will debut in the ESEA Winter Cash Cup on Saturday

Former Complexity member William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba was also initially linked to the project at the start of the year, but he has since been reported by 1pv.fr and Rush B Media to be joining Evil Geniuses, with daps' side picking up former Triumph member Brendan "⁠Bwills⁠" Williams to fill that gap.

Marshall "⁠Minus⁠" Sedowicz, an 18-year-old player who last played for ATK and has three seasons of ESEA Premier under his belt, completes the team's lineup, having averaged a 1.20 rating over the last three months and demonstrating considerable talent on the server to draw the attention of daps.

Minus' potential and showcased ability also led to Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski picking him as his Bold Prediction in his Top 20 article, with the Liquid rifler stating that he looked forward to seeing how Minus fares against higher opposition moving forward.

daps' new project will debut their roster on Saturday in ESEA Winter Cash Cup 2, where they are currently signed up to compete alongside a handful of familiar names including Bad News Bears and Party Astronauts.

Orgless are:

Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele
Marshall "⁠Minus⁠" Sedowicz
Michael "⁠Swisher⁠" Schmid
Gage "⁠Infinite⁠" Green
Brendan "⁠Bwills⁠" Williams

Hunter "⁠Lucid⁠" Tucker (coach)

wow!

you sure would hope a region with 10x people and at least 8x the playerbase would be better

we don’t have 8x the player base interesting bullshit to spout though, and yes we are better lol

twitter.com/leetify/status/1390715793805.. usa+canada = 13.7% australia and new zealand are both out of the list so let's assume they were both on the verge of making it in at 1.44% each (they're probably not even close to that) australia + nz = 2.88% that means it's at least 5,5 more

nice out of date info, check the steam charts, csgo has been not even steadily but heavily dying these past 5 months in NA. also please read that I included finland which includes eu

It's been dying ever since valorant came out, if anything it's been having a resurgence in the past few months. If you have the link to the more recent data Id love to see it. I tried to find more recent stuff but coudlnt find it. I didnt get that you meant finalnd as well in the first message, thats on me

I can’t seem to find it now, but steam tracker previously had regions in their statistics. They consistently showed NA bouncing between 5-10k players. This was when cs was averaging upwards of 700k players. It’s also a notable difference when it comes to queue times for mm, faceit game searches, and general community size. If I am able to find where the statistics were (it’s possible steam stopped sharing regions) I will be sure to provide you a link to view it. The reason it will certainly differ from the leetify conclusion is because of the sampling bias it has. Leetify is a service that’s been widely advertised in very NA-focused media. It’s not going to contain an accurate database of games if it isn’t used by the vast majority of people playing the game.

leetify doesn't take stats from their users only, this is overall mm stats

2022-01-14 11:22

does it change the fact?

2022-01-14 18:32

While no it does not, it's like making fun of a bunny because he lost a fight to a bear

2022-01-14 18:52

well a bunny shouldn’t be fighting a bear it should be running away, you first have to use logic and then formulate a sentence that makes sense

2022-01-14 19:15

Ok. Let's say then, that it's like making fun of a bunny for being caught and killed by a wolf. It's just the expected thing

2022-01-14 19:27

it’s like the bunny taunting the wolf, being eaten, then being upset that it got what was coming,

2022-01-14 20:15

still doesnt change the fact, thats like saying the world sucks in lol cuz it 7B population while korea has 50M and still dominates it for 10 years in a row finding an excuses like these makes no sense

2022-01-14 21:02

Cope, NA cs still dead

2022-01-14 11:30

An Aussie talking about who's CS scene is dead, when the peak of your scene was being saved by an NA org LUL

2022-01-14 16:21

Yes renegades is an na org Cope

2022-01-15 02:43

How about instead of shitting people trying to help the scene, we actually try to support them? Daps could have easily stayed in valorant, but he decided to come back and keep grinding to bring back NA csgo. Credits to him! A good NA scene is only good for the whole csgo community. We need NA to bounce back.

2022-01-14 14:51

Cope, na dead

2022-01-15 02:44

Tier 10

2022-01-14 06:27

Maybe but daps has always had a good eye for talent and him creating a new team with young players is good news for NA and CS in general. If we want NA back with competitive teams, it has to start from the roots.

2022-01-14 10:03

Fair enough

2022-01-14 10:45

+1 A healthy NA scene is only good for CS in general.

2022-01-14 14:48

wow nice

Looks very promising, NA CS is back in 2022!!!!

2022-01-14 03:31

This is nothing but good news. Its great that Daps still has the motivation to start over.

2022-01-14 03:33

I like this teammm

2022-01-14 03:34

Extra Salt --> Complexity Orgless --> Extra Salt?

Going to be interesting to see if daps can bring up a team once again after quitting being a player

2022-01-14 03:35

Interesting project, it can be good but maybe only a 1 month roster.

2022-01-14 03:36

Why? They’re playing for fun and learning.

my country doesn't have a single tier 10 pro player but what does this have to do with this team being tier 5 ? can't take criticism ?

2022-01-14 08:54

because you are talking like you have full of talent, cant really bash another region if your region is worse

2022-01-15 00:44

how am a bashing a whole region when i'm talking about a shadow team that doesn't stand a single chance against real NA teams , I'd understand what you're saying if I was talking trash to TL , EG but this tier 5 bs , nah I pass

2022-01-15 03:28

Read your first comment, and rethink what you said

2022-01-20 00:40

You didn't move on, still stuck in here? Getting rusty ...

2022-01-14 06:43

It's kind of pitiful to leech off of the accomplishments of a region you aren't even from

2022-01-14 09:45

I see so HLTV should let access to their threads only for the region they are talking about !

2022-01-14 11:41

That's a ridiculous conclusion. You can use someone else's accomplishments to shit on another person more accomplished than you, but you will be laughed at for doing it

2022-01-14 21:19

Good luck!

Hope that ES pick them up

NACS WOO LETS GO

2022-01-14 03:54

Daps na godfather

How many weeks before he gets kicked and replaced by Stan?

2022-01-14 03:55

Was asking myself the same aswell hahaha

2022-01-14 12:19

Daps has always been committed to NA CS, hopefully this new roster can make NA CS even more interesting in 2022!

2022-01-14 04:03

Daps staying in CS is huge for NA CS but holy fuck this roster is going to be a tough ask for him to get anything out of

2022-01-14 04:07

Not rly, it looks promising. But the main question remains if daps will manage to control infinite's toxicity

2022-01-14 04:10

Depends what your hopes are for the team, At best they will be the 4th best team NA team and that's not including Brazilian teams

2022-01-14 04:13

idk theres a bit of potential for guys like minus. heard hes pretty good in fpl

2022-01-14 15:58

tier5 for sure but daps talent for getting good players are as good as his igl gl to the argentinian NA saviour

I'm surprised the article doesn't say how long it will be before Stanislaw replaces Daps on this team.

2022-01-14 04:08

Fuck Stan. Hope he never touches a team again

2022-01-14 04:12

+1 big bot, small brain ))))))))))

2022-01-14 05:27

Stan gets too much unwarranted hate, it's not his fault he kept replacing daps

2022-01-14 06:30

It's more so every team he joins always withers away and dies because he's a terrible leader

2022-01-14 06:56

That's just not true, recently he led EG to touching #1, back in the day he led optic to #2 and winning eleague. I think it is true that he lost motivation on this EG roster and should have left sooner, probably due to him getting married and the pandemic

2022-01-14 14:39

Great! All the best!

2022-01-14 04:09

I was shocked, the players aren't too shabby considering all things. Wish lots of luck to daps

cool to see another possible top NA contender with a young, promising awper

2022-01-14 04:14

glgl

2022-01-14 04:53

can't wait for more CS with daps being LMS every round and averaging 5 kills a map!

Everyone is so dumb to bash this team. Even if it isn't top 10 material, who cares? it's a great place for young talents like Minus and Swisher to develop under an experienced IGL like daps.

2022-01-14 04:59

I completely agree. Filling up tier 2 NA is exactly how you rebuild tier 1 long term. And giving young players a chance to develop under daps while playing with an experienced support like RUSH is ideal.

2022-01-14 05:43

Daps clown lmao

2022-01-14 05:39

Wtf respect him

2022-01-14 07:25

He literally helped na cs improving, or at least trying

2022-01-14 15:41

LUL

2022-01-14 20:01

Interesting lineup, obviously it’s likely Extra Salt, but a lot of these guys aren’t really young enough to be considered prospects anymore. Probably be a lot harder to sell them down the line, like they did JT, FaNg and oSee.

thats the desperation of daps...

2022-01-14 05:53

frrr but money is everything bro

2022-01-14 08:20

Oof

2022-01-14 08:37

Daps never gives up, gl in this venture, helping NA CS but not sure how far this lineup can even go

2022-01-14 08:48

I've been saying this for a while, but imo daps should just retire and be a head coach/head scout for a bigger org; he clearly has an eye for talent and tactics, but his personal skill level is just not quite there to be an IGL

2022-01-14 09:05

In order to determine what personal skill is required to be an IGL, we have to establish what the goal is. He's playing in NA, the opposition moved to Valorant. He does not need to be some mad fragger. He's not going to be playing against tier 1 EU. If his team gets an org, he can get paid while teaching youngsters how to play the game

2022-01-14 09:46

he said he doesnt want to coach unless he has GM power because he is scarred from EG

2022-01-14 10:39

GL looks quite great but not sure If its enough for t1

2022-01-14 09:28

Yeah NA's talent pool is lacking they should have picked up cynic IMO.

Stan is excited for a new challenge in 5 months lmao

2022-01-14 09:30

I mean his probably gonna just quit on them 4 months in.

2022-01-14 09:42

looks like 2022 will be the heyday of the tier 2 scene

2022-01-14 09:47

NA is so pathetic. "Orgless", really?

2022-01-14 10:29

they’re gonna join extra salt after funspark lol

2022-01-14 10:40

best NA team soon, I believe in daps

2022-01-14 10:30

Love this lineup

2022-01-14 10:44

Good luck, i hope they can succeed

2022-01-14 11:18

daps is going to elevate another set of players, it's cool for NA. I hope people will finally give him the credits he deserves.

2022-01-14 11:21

ez for minus

Actually a good roster. Daps always was a guy who can built a nice team from zero. Just see NRG roster. He went up so much. Belive in this roster, good players in. GL GL

2022-01-14 13:02

He has built like 4 rosters, been kicked from alot of them with them seeing more success without him and daps is still going with counter strike. Respect.
