Anonymo part ways with tudsoN, add Flayy

The outgoing AWPer, who suffers from diplopia, will be taking a break from competition.

Anonymo have announced that starting AWPer Filip "⁠tudsoN⁠" Tudev will be leaving the team after a four-month stint and 16-year-old Alan "⁠flayy⁠" Krupa will be joining the active roster.

In April tudsoN revealed the story of a condition plaguing him, diplopia — which causes one to see double. He did so in a TwitLonger and wrote about his emotions throughout the years.

"My reaction time was my best ability, and now it started to disappear. I am missing the easiest shots of my life. I never tilted that much in this game and I was always a guy who is hyping and being positive," tudsoN explained.

"I started to tilt at myself. Starting to change everything so that I can play better, I wanted to lie to myself that everything is ok but in reality I am on a downfall, the eyes are the most important aspect for this game in my opinion."

Despite all the challenges he has faced with regards to his health, tudsoN expressed his gratitude to those that supported him and praised his now former Anonymo teammates.

It wasn't all just down to tudsoN's diplopia, however, as coach Adrian "⁠imd⁠" Pieper explains. "The main reason for changing tudsoN is the lack of understanding in the game with the rest of the team," he says. "From the beginning, this squad had clear direction in which we want to follow and what as a coach I expect from individual players.

"After 5 months Filip's solutions during the game and approach were completely different from the rest of the team, which caused a lot of "little" problems that kept piling up. Of course it is not Filip's fault, he just didn't fit the system and the values I try to pass to other guys. This is in no way caused by his illness, which of course had an impact on his invidual play over the past few months. I wish Filip soon recovery to active play, he deserves to find a good team and fulfill his CS:GO dreams."

The newcomer, flayy, joins from GameAgents after already playing his first qualifier with Anonymo, the ESL Challenger Valencia qualifier, where the Polish team went out in 9-16th place following an 11-16 defeat at the hands of Sprout.

The young AWPer had a strong performance against Rasmus "⁠raalz⁠" Steensborg and company despite the loss, however, with a 1.24 rating.

"From day one, Flayy's sniping style was very inspiring and reminds me of the CIS snipers, which are leaders in the HLTV rankings (sh1ro, degster, El1an)," imd says of the new signing. "Very patient, can be aimed at one postion on the zoom half a round, not requiring space from the team. Typical sniper who covers the rest, throws grenades and stays focused in clutch moments — and most importantly, Flayy does it naturally."

Anonymo's lineup is now:

Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek
Patryk "⁠Demho⁠" Tomaszewski
Oskar "⁠oskarish⁠" Stenborowski
Arek "⁠Vegi⁠" Nawojski
Alan "⁠flayy⁠" Krupa

Adrian "⁠imd⁠" Pieper (Coach)
