OG round out roster with F1KU and NEOFRAG

27-5-2022 15:13

The incoming duo complete the starting five following the benching of Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen and Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså.

OG have announced the signing of two new players, Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas and Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar, to revamp their roster which was depleted to just three members as the two Danes, niko and valde, were moved to the bench after the team failed to qualify for the PGL Major in Antwerp.

OG confirm valde benching

The youngest of the two newcomers, 18-year-old F1KU, is transferring to OG from AGO, the team he joined in late 2019 and in which he had been plying his trade until now. During that time, the Pole averaged a 1.08 rating and won two ESEA MDL/Premier seasons to compete at ESL Pro League twice.

NEOFRAG is one of the top prospects in Europe

OG's Czech signing, NEOFRAG, is one of the most compelling prospects in Europe since breaking out with SINNERS, where he played since the beginning of 2020, peaking in 19th place in the HLTV ranking.

During his tenure in the top Czech squad the 21-year-old averaged a 1.18 rating and was a key component in SINNERS reaching events of the stature of ESL Pro League and the most recent RMR, where the team was eliminated from reaching the Major at the final hurdle in the Swiss stage's 2-2 decider match by Bad News Eagles.

"I’m very excited as today marks a new day in OG CS:GO as we welcome NEOFRAG and F1KU to our ranks," Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due said. "They are young, motivated and hungry to prove themselves on the biggest stage, and in-game their profiles was a very clear match to what we’ve searched for ever since we started the process of re-building the roster.

"With their raw talent and consistency, they have already shown during the last year in SINNERS and AGO that they have the skillset to help push our team to new heights."

The new-look OG will debut in official competition at the BLAST Premier Spring Final in Lisbon, Portugal, which will take place on June 15-19, but will first play in the Teleperformance PXP Showmatch on Friday at 20:00 against MIBR.

OG are now:

Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković
Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan
Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski
Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas
Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar

Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due (coach)

Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså (benched)
Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen (benched)

Ez tier2 1st OG roster is still best roster OG had

og was cursed but now they are shit

2022-05-27 16:08

They have big talents you will see

2022-05-27 16:12

+1 If only LANs were around when the first OG roster was announced.

2022-05-27 18:03

This roster definitely has the most potential, they have 4 very talented guys, but I don’t think nexa is the best IGL for this team.

WTF

Expected ,in a yesterday thread someone talked about it.They want to be Academy team not Real T1 .

2022-05-27 15:15

2022-05-27 16:21

+1 xD they are a bit confused

2022-05-27 17:07

2022-05-27 16:29

I like Aleksib as player, but nexa-type IGL (you know, with loose style of IGLing) fits G2 way better than him. Also with nexa they went to 6 grandfinals in two years. 3 of them were on LAN (IEM Katowice 2020, IEM Cologne 2021, PGL Stockholm Major 2021).

2022-05-27 17:09

5 replies

Yet results dont agree with you but future is just speculation.

2022-05-27 17:46

Nexa fit g2 better in legit every way possible: language, country of origin, history with players, playstyle/approach of the game, support, mentality, good with talents, midroundcalls But idk if he's the better IGL, only players who played under them can tell

2022-05-27 17:58

Language? I strongly think aleksib's english is better than nexa. Country of origin? Wtf, who cares? Its an international team.

2022-05-27 18:02

both their english is good but nexa shares the same language with niko&hunter which is nice for them to feel comfortable in practice for example. Country of origin also matters for that regard, it can be a big difference

2022-05-27 18:29

That would be making rest of the team uncomfortable speaking something they dont understand. Whatever, in my opinion it doesnt matter where you're from in this environment.

2022-05-27 19:05

G2 with nexa major finals even with no main awper with aleksi not even in play offs

2022-05-27 17:26

Comparing best tournament nexa played with G2 in 2 years against aleksib's 2nd tournament with them makes a lot of sense.

2022-05-27 17:47

You only think so because you have a memory of a goldfish

blind aleksib fangay he destroyed g2

Which sounds better to you: - Nexa in g2 after niko joined: 15 tournaments, 0 wins, 2 finals - Aleksib in g2: 2 tournaments, 0 wins, 1 final (closer to win than nexa ever was btw) I'd pick the second option any day of the week.

2022-05-27 18:04

trueeee

2022-05-27 16:35

nice

Back to tier3 let's go

Lmao +1

Donwgrade indeed lol

Wtf is this roster

OG has 5 majors wtf man

2022-05-27 15:23

Haven't seen a worse downgrade

Good luck, they will need it.

It isnt

2022-05-27 17:33

Nice gl

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That team is stacked with talent, just like ence was, however incompetent coaching staff cant polish them, so tier 2 locked

bruh are they TRYING to remain tier 2?

Tbh with this roster they will have to fight to remain in tier 2

OG saw the success of ENCE poaching the best polish players and started copying

also 1 Izraeli beast, copy of ENCE

Y but they dont have the gigabrains of snappi and saw so t3 :()

Everybody hoping for jks and Yekindar and this happens xD

Ez major finals with Neofrag on the roster

gl f1ku and neofrag

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Very funny all these kids saying bullshit because they don't even know NEOFRAG and F1KU

Cry more

its not him crying but kids that didn't hear about neofrag or f1ku

2022-05-27 15:45

2022-05-27 16:02

No doubt both Fiku and Neo(frag) are promising af and very likeable but cmon, Jks? Yekindar?

Maybe no money to get em or pay such salaries for jks and yeki

2022-05-27 15:29

Possibly but either way gl to both, I really liked fiku alongside mwlky when they played at esl

2022-05-27 15:31

Redbull pays for everything

2022-05-27 15:33

They have money, why yekindar or jks join OG if they dont want to? Because they offer few K more? Everything isnt about money tho

Might be right, as him i'd play for G2 because OG nowadays is almost tier 2

2022-05-27 15:43

bro why do u think og have the pull on jks and yekindar when they walk into basically every top international team?

2022-05-27 19:38

who?

ruggah is the problem

based and true actually

RIP

WOW that was VERY unexpected

2022-05-27 15:28

F1ku XD medicore tier 3 abuser

It says f1ku, not Michu bro

Both are bad

2022-05-27 17:57

Interesting 🙂

easy tier 3 team gl on pinnacle XD

Nexa t1 player stuck with hard carrying t2-3 players, feel bad for him. Hope this new roster actually becomes good though

How is he hard carrying them with 0.96 rating? Atleast this is an upgrade over what they had.

2022-05-27 17:28

U meant mantuu?

Actually good

Really good pickups to be honest, Neofrag is really good

From average players to average players

2022-05-27 15:32

NEOFRAG, the bugdet zywoo

god neofrag

When you think it cant get worse for OG.....

ez tier 1 again, Poland best

sick team, top10 soon

xDDDDDDDDDD

2022-05-27 15:36

bro, i know everyone here expected yekindar and jks, but under nexa these guys can really become monsters

sending nexa back in time lol

Anyone actually expecting yekindar and/or jks were out of their minds

2022-05-27 16:11

Based on? Well neofrag atleast already is good.

2022-05-27 17:25

f1ku is not good?

2022-05-27 18:35

Never seen, based on stats I'd say nothing great.

2022-05-27 19:06

Yekindar is going to Navi. Trust me guys inside info ;)

2022-05-28 00:44

More fiepower, less gamesense

2022-05-27 15:37

I mean sounds kinda weird when OG entered the scene with such a high expectative and a big roster, but maybe they have changed their focus. Best of luck to them, good to see when young blood gets the opportunity.

KEKW

2022-05-27 15:38

wait what

Ja Pierdole

OG is looking to make young competitive roster like in Dota Pog

LMAAOOOOO

2022-05-27 15:41

interesting...

2022-05-27 15:42

good pickups...they'll become 2nd ENCE for sure

good luck

the most boring team inc.

2022-05-27 15:44

lol??? out of money???

Pog and gl

NEOFRAG MY GOAT

Damn bro! Next should be OVERRATED -mantuu

WHAT IS THIS TEAM? LMAO

Maybe they'll actually play some officials now :)

2022-05-27 15:47

Wtf... why no jks ...

jks turning 27 this year, its over for him.

I think he still can perform very well, at least he is better than NEOfag

2022-05-27 16:32

27 isnt even that old dude

2022-05-28 07:16

still tier 2 only

when you expect signings like jks and this is what you get :s

unexpected

good luck neofrag youre my favorite player

OG saw success of ENCE and wat to do it themselves.

2022-05-27 15:55

Well that's very classic OG. Always willing to try out young players who have great potential. They did it too on their dota roster, literally bring in 3 players who have 0 experience on tier 1 and all of sudden win a major. Well ofc it's gonna be hard in CSGO, but this is exciting.

Finally a take that doesn't disregard everything. It will take some time but this new roster could definitely work

2022-05-27 16:01

Rip sinners and ago, I don't see this players as a upgrade for OG, more like the opposite, but GL to them

2022-05-27 15:56

the best choice i ever seen

2022-05-27 15:59

Always cool when young players grind and get given a chance by legit organizations, gl !

People are laughing to this but I believe this can be a top 30 team!

2022-05-27 16:05

looks good but I don't know about the roles

What is this :D

ruggah is still in the team?

2022-05-27 16:06

Every HLTV post saying +Yekindar +JKS to OG as OG is a 'top EU org' when I told them that they neither have the budget nor the balls to make such moves. Needless to say, those HLTV retards shit on me for saying that won't happen. They will sign them! Who's having the last laugh boys :) ?

well

NEOFRAG is only 2nd player after oskar from Czech who join international team (on the top lvl)

2022-05-27 16:10

f1ku what :O edit : I mean he is super good but wtf all good teams picking polish players dycha hades siuhy szejn mhl :O

OG or good team, pick one

2022-05-27 16:25

idk but its more potential than anonymo i think top 15-20 potential team they are supper skilled also for f1ku salary like 5-8k$ in age of 18 is super cool and motivational to play

2022-05-27 16:31

i think they can win a pinnacle with this roster

2022-05-27 16:15

ooffff, transformation into tier3 team

2022-05-27 16:20

omg...

When they announce main team?

2022-05-27 16:23

Lmao

Expected I guess

First reaction: wtf, going t2-t3? After a while: this Will actually be interesting

looks decent

Omg... I thought Jks is sure thing to OG. So Fnatic Jks =O?

2022-05-27 16:26

2022-05-27 16:43

FINALLY CS:GO teams give upcomers a shot instead of recycling washed AF players. Just look at: ENCE FaZe OG G2 This is what teams should have been doing for a long time, instead of +pimp +shox +snax +chrisJ +guardiaN and other retarded asf roster moves

"Just look at FaZe" Ah you mean the team that won a major like 5 days ago?

2022-05-27 16:49

That was the point. All those teams are doing good and they gave new(ish) players chances instead of just recycling old ones. Well OG isnt doing good but anyways, trying to find new talents.

thanks bro, well put 👍🏼

2022-05-27 17:21

#236 His comment is not well put lol.

New-isch?? Broky is the only new-isch player on that team lol. Rest is veterans.

But 0 washed up players.

I know? But he said "FaZe" and you typed #223 lol. Now read #236 again. They are not new players. They are all veterans and the average age is 25.2.

2022-05-27 18:08

You're mad for no reason. Broky was upcomer and thats enough.

2022-05-27 18:12

Mad? xD Where am i mad? Thats not enough at all. FaZe have 4 veterans + Broky that played T1 CS for 2 years and ~8 months.

Broky was the #1 superstar on FACEIT.. don't even compare his transfer with anyone else, the only other players that have been bought like Broky is ropz and stewie2k.. Every other transfer like these 2 are not even in the same league.

2022-05-27 17:06

Was gonna comment the opposite. Neofrag good pick but dunno who this f1ku even is.

I think both of them are good. :D Neofrag actually really strong player and F1ku very clutch and a good young talent, a bit up and down in performances but has a bright future.

2022-05-27 17:32

Probably the best they can do, established players arent going to join a team without an ESL slot. Have to focus on up and comers.

2022-05-27 19:07

Trash team, i bet they will disband after 4-5 months

2022-05-27 17:52

Still better than bne though

2022-05-27 20:47

From JKS and Yekindar to this announcement. Nothing special, still gonna perform the same as they do now.

2022-05-27 18:05

it's nice to see a Czech player in a top 30 intl. team again! hope this lineup works out

2022-05-27 18:24

tier 3 moment

2022-05-27 18:28

OG again with "young and promising tier-2 and most importantly - cheap" players. Well let's see how it turns out this time. In my opinion they needed someone stable. They have enough "maybe one day they will shine, but right now they're hit or miss" material.

who and who

2022-05-27 18:43

these 2 guys could easily 2v5ed any na team so dont talk

2022-05-27 19:09

F1ku already destroyed EG with 41 kills I think in regulation on D2 with 2 aces. He son'd them

in what world??? Neo > Valde and F1ku > niko

2022-05-27 19:35

So was jks still contracted to Complexity and needed to be bought out?

2022-05-27 19:24

Very good move. As long as Mantuu gonna deliver, this roster will be capable of doing demage. Of course they also need few weeks before chemistry will be on spot.
