Entropiq bring in mir

8-6-2022 18:19

After more than six months on the sidelines, Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov finds a new home at Entropiq.

Entropiq have announced that they have brought mir out of inactivity, following the expiry of his contract with Spirit. The 26-year-old replaces Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev in the main roster in the first change the team has undergone since its inception in early 2021.

mir might've been out of action for half a year following Spirit's overhaul in October of 2021, but his form was incredible during the stint with the Russian team, averaging a 1.20 rating across 517 maps played.

mir is back in action

Entropiq's coach Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov is convinced that mir is exactly what his team needs to break past the plateau they reached. Aside from a couple of weeks when they peaked at No. 9 in the world, Entropiq has been stuck in the top 20 area, with a big achievement still lacking.

"I am very happy that we managed to get mir on our team. Nikolay is a world-class player with an incredible history, and I am convinced that together we will achieve further success," is what hooch said about the signing.

"Nikolay is undoubtedly a great CS:GO player who we have been following for a long time," Entropiq's gaming director Pavel Klaban added. "We believe that he is exactly the type of player that will give our team the necessary additional firepower and that mir will be the difference maker that will help us take that one step towards titles in many tournaments."

mir will have his debut for the "black and green" in REPUBLEAGUE Season 3 shortly, as his team takes on K23 at 19:00 .

Entropiq now field the following roster:

Aleksei "⁠NickelBack⁠" Trofimov
Vladislav "⁠Krad⁠" Kravchenko
Aleksei "⁠El1an⁠" Gusev
Igor "⁠Forester⁠" Bezotecheskiy
Nikolay "⁠mir⁠" Bityukov

Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov (coach)

I thought mir left spirit bc they kicked sdy. Now he doesn’t even play with him in his new team

I think that wasn't about sdy but chopper which makes the whole thing even weirder

2022-06-08 20:38

As fair as i know chopper was kicked and mir left to play with his captain but monts later spirit called chopperagain but definitely weird

2022-06-08 22:28

Oh yeah oops. That is even more weird haha

2022-06-08 23:03

basically mir was joined at the hip with chopper. He said if they kicked chopper he would leave. They kicked chopper, he left. They then got chopper back shortly after and mir couldn't come back

2022-06-09 01:10

Spirit disbanded due to salary issues. Some players wanted higher salary, and they disbanded. Spirit was fine with their performance as know

2022-06-09 10:35

But spirit won ti10 in dota a few months earlier, so why wouldn't theye keep someone like mir who is a world class player (even though the nee Spirit with patsi and siren worked out)

2022-06-10 14:19

have no clue, ask spirit, u just got a fakt why it disbanded

Entropiq ez major now

2022-06-08 18:56

Not with El1an. I am still not convinced by him but we'll see.

2022-06-09 01:42

He did well today tbh. That 1v3 clutch on nuke at 15 14 and he had good rounds on Mirage where he would get like 3k on multiple post plants. He was solid

2022-06-09 01:48

man I forgot who that big mir fan on HLTV was, but if he's still around he must be happy

2022-06-09 11:17

glad to help men))

2022-06-09 11:18

actually who take support role

6 replies

I hope bot krad

2022-06-08 18:29

highest rated entropiq player at the major btw also hes always had an agressive role along with nickelback so i doubt he will transform into a passive support player which leaves forester with that duty

2022-06-08 18:44

Forrester was their star rifler, the highest rated player in the last 3 months. Move him to support?

2022-06-09 01:46

yeah maybe you're right

2022-06-09 02:32

Maybe nickelback will do most of the supporting and entropiq will become a less agressive team

2022-06-17 00:41

If all your players are good, you don't need support

2022-06-08 21:04

mir will win major at some point mark my words

Maybe if the next major is hosted by Pinnacle

Mir translated like "Peace", all u Mir in the world

It means peace in serbian as well

Mir also can be translated like “world”, wish Mir in the whole Mir for everyone.

2022-06-09 04:50

top 10 ez

he will destroy this roster :( I hope hooch won't let that happen

Why dou you think that?

2022-06-08 21:12

Finally

nice move

INCREDIBLE PICKUP! GOOD LUCK TO MIR AND ENTROPIQ!

2022-06-08 18:28

Finally, Entropiq ez top 10

what

Said this on a thread months ago here. He was being listed as a sub for entropiq in multiple events and after not getting to the major and missing IEM DALLAS was more than obvious lack1 would be leaving. he was the underperformer and also the only not-russian guy.

>Viktor Boldyrev >not-russian guy

2022-06-08 18:42

Yeah he was a sub at katowice plus the move got leaked on hltv confirmed several weeks ago, so it was just a matter of time until they announce it

2022-06-08 18:58

Viktor Boldyrev

2022-06-20 08:01

Very, very nice. Good luck RUSKIS.

2022-06-08 18:39

Quite questionable, yet much needed addition. Let's see how it goes..

2022-06-08 18:43

Entropiq Top10

2022-06-08 18:45

Hell Yeah!!! Go go Entropiq!!!!

Kek

2022-06-08 18:47

Wanted to see him on G2 but oh well.

Been waiting for this move since it got leaked on HLTV Confirmed several weeks ago. Great move imo, Entropiq seems to be lacking firepower against top teams, now they have a trio of El1an Forester Mir who is deffo top 10 potential. Hopefully lack1 finds a new home just as good as Entropiq. Best of luck boys, and hopefully you win something of importance now with Mir. Mir's debut in 5 mins is going to be LIT

2022-06-08 18:54

They shouldn't be allowed to play in any CS:GO tournaments tbh. I don't see reason why..

2022-06-08 19:28

Nice! Huge upgrade

Lack1 deserves better

2022-06-08 19:06

This is a good roster move right here

2022-06-08 19:07

sad for mir, he deserves a better team for sure

2022-06-08 19:09

He was in a better team. Should've behaved better.

2022-06-09 02:07

about time

2022-06-08 19:22

this mir is a joke liek whole Entropiq, disband those loosers

0/8

lol rez fan talking.

2022-06-09 21:18

so what

2022-06-09 21:19

literally losing a tier 3 team lol.

2022-06-09 21:22

losing a map no a game

2022-06-09 21:25

Actually good move. Entropiq might be the next CIS team to break into top 10.

2022-06-08 19:39

They already were top 10 like month or two ago. Hopefully mir takes them back to top 10

2022-06-08 19:55

Krad should be replaced, not Lack1 🙂

2022-06-08 19:45

nice my boi is back

2022-06-08 20:25

Oh fuck yes

2022-06-08 20:54

0-2 to k23 xD

2022-06-08 21:09

Gl guys, hope mir became less toxic😂

2022-06-08 21:45

huge

Great change

2022-06-08 22:19

I love Mir! Tough for Lack1 and he was decent on LAN at times, hope he finds a new team

2022-06-09 00:46

Maybe K23

2022-06-09 02:08

Huge upgrade

2022-06-09 01:27

Good luck Mir <3 don’t sleep on this team!!

2022-06-09 03:22

Should have been krad instead of lack1. He was definetly not problem, very good support tbh. I hope he goes to virtus pro instead of bot norbert

2022-06-09 07:44

VP needs star rifler now that they don't have yekindar. Lack1 could replace qikert or fame but I doubt he would replace fatbert

2022-06-09 12:58

Hooch got greedy here. Sometimes just be happy with the progress you made instead of going broke.

2022-06-09 07:46

disband in 3 months

After suzuki announced motogp exit, glad to know that mir found a new home

2022-06-09 13:32

that is actually ggwp for entropiq. surprised mir was afk so long

2022-06-09 20:11

not a bad pick! mir is a strong player. hopefully he syncs well with rest the team.

insane pickup tbh, but i hope mir will play together with Entropiq, i read a tweet saying that mir was too hard to work with and that he disrespects IGL's decisions when he disagrees with it. if he is working towards a better team mentality then entropiq are ready to be a top 10 team without a doubt. PS: mir was insane in 2021 even with these teamwork problems in Spirit, possibly the best entry fragger in CIS by a mile, one of the best in the world, if entropiq is able to make him behave and respect their IGL they could be a dangerous team for sure.

2022-06-10 00:45

sad. Lack1 ;(

2022-06-10 01:17

FINALLY! ez top 10

2022-06-10 15:21

entroshit never be a decent team, mir what a waste with those loosers

2022-06-14 11:07

Says a nip fan lol

2022-06-15 13:35

lol entroshit is still playing pinnacle ane elisa tournamets t3, when they gonna make something?

2022-06-15 13:37

You dont know shit about entropiq then

2022-06-15 13:39

i know enough, band of loosers, wont achive anything, free mir, even he cant carry those noobs, they won 1 map bcs he get 35 kills..

2022-06-15 13:47

I think that is Entropiq's chance to step in into tier 1 scene. They played very well sometimes, mir is huge buff for them. Just like buster/yekindar, i hope they will find a good team, they deserved that
