Sprout add Romanian prospect lauNX

10-5-2022 15:02

The German-Danish squad found their fifth ahead of ESL Challenger League.

Sprout have secured the signing of young Romanian prospect Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea, the organization announced on Twitter. The 17-year-old spent the last 12 months playing for Nexus, a Romanian squad competing in the lower tiers of the European scene.

The rifler will replace Max "⁠Marix⁠" Kugener after the German organization parted ways with the Luxembourgish player in early May following a poor run of form for the squad from IEM Katowice to the European RMR.

The 2005-born former Nexus prospect will replace Marix

So far this year, lauNX has been the best performer for Nexus, accumulating a solid 1.15 rating 2.0 and a great 1.55 impact rating during the squad's campaigns at various Malta Vibes Knockout Series events ESEA Advanced Season 40 Europe. The Romanian squad was also able to claim trophies from regional tournaments such as ROPL Stars 2022 and Jaxi League Elite Series 2022 Finals.

Sprout part ways with Marix

"I'm super glad to be joining Sprout. I'm looking forward to making some good memories with the team, taking home some trophies, and playing in the upcoming EPL-Conference, IEM Cologne, and other tournaments alongside my new and awesome teammates as well as the coaching legend BERRY," stated lauNX on the day of his announcement.

"I'm very excited to be working with Laurențiu. I've been watching him for a while and have been amazed every time I've seen him play. I believe he is the missing puzzle piece in our lineup," added Sprout's coach, Danny "⁠BERRY⁠" Krüger.

The European team is set to debut during ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe, with the squad set to tackle Group D starting on May 25.

Sprout will field the following roster:

Timo "⁠Spiidi⁠" Richter
Fritz "⁠slaxz-⁠" Dietrich
Rasmus "⁠raalz⁠" Steensborg
Victor "⁠Staehr⁠" Staehr
Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea

Danny "⁠BERRY⁠" Krüger (Coach)

2022-05-10 15:07

+1 if he can translate his performance into Tier2 cs he’ll be a great player for sprout

2022-05-10 17:41

i really think he is able to do so. he is young, receptive, hungry for performance. and also, sprout is good at developing new and young players. i can't see a single bad thing in this "story".

2022-05-11 13:08

good

2022-05-10 15:18

He's not that good without his jump pads lol

2022-05-10 15:19

Hahah Nt kascerato xd

2022-05-10 16:05

I have watched like his 10 next matches after that 2v2 tournament, and he is way worse under 'normal' circumstances. His abilities on the jump pads made him look like a star player or big prospect, but he isn't, I bet he would be an amazing Valorant player tho

2022-05-10 16:19

I interpreted your first comment as a joke but i now realise i'm speaking with a truly excetional brazilian expert in cs go. I am amazed by your deduction skills, from exactly 10 games you can predict the future of someones career regadless of ones ability to improve over time. Leaving the banter to the side don't know what games you watched but i've seen him play since he was in infinite and he has improved very much ever since. Like you said yourself, mechanicaly he is very good so i'll list the good traits here: shooting precision, spray control, good movement, reaction time and reflexes, good positioning etc. Like most of 16 year old kid in esports, it takes time to work on your mental and tactical abilities to a high level and he does need to work on that aspect. Don't know what are you really trying to prove but to me everything points out that launx is a very good young prospect

2022-05-10 16:51

I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm just posting my opinion about the player that is on the news.

2022-05-10 19:52

worst signing .........they should add a young prospect from their academy not a romanian washed up player who can t frag in tier 5 cs.

I think it’s super shit from sprout that they don’t invest in the German scene but wanna continue to play ESL Meisterschaft with stand ins. They basically get free invites to international events by winning ESLM and then continue to play them with different players, just to achieve nothing there anyway.

2022-05-10 15:42

BERRY said that they are considering moving him to germany. BERRY: "We are currently discussing several options for the championship, ideally with Lau in Germany because he is considering it, otherwise with a German stand-in because we are planning to take part."

he's 17 i doubt it will happen and still he's not magically part of the german scene if he moves here

2022-05-10 16:13

He hasn't attended high scool classes for 2 years now, don't think that moving to Germany would be an issue regrading that matter.

2022-05-10 17:19

what? why?

2022-05-10 18:06

Don't know the exact reasoning, I know he's passed these years. You can perhaps ask him directly.

2022-05-10 21:10

Probably he just go with an old say that we use “you don’t need school to play football” so he doesn’t need school to play cs but he gotta be good at it, if not the life gonna be hard but he can always get back in school tbf
