KaiR0N- replaces n0rb3r7 on Outsiders

8-1-2023 17:18

David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan is being moved to the inactive roster to allow him to focus on improving his form.

18-year-old Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin has been signed by Outsiders and will take the place of n0rb3r7 on the active roster. The news comes after Outsiders followed up their IEM Rio Major victory with a disappointing last place exit from BLAST Premier World Final.

Outsiders underwent a revamp early last year as Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis left the squad due to pressures created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Timur "⁠buster⁠" Tulepov was also benched to allow the team to seek "fresh ideas about the game." n0rb3r7 was one of the players sought to replace the duo, and he was brought in along with Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev.

KaiR0N- most recently featured for Aurora

After an adjustment period the Russian squad's results began to ramp up beginning with ESL Pro League Season 16, where the team managed to grab a 5-8th place finish. This culminated in a surprise run to the trophy at the IEM Rio Major, and a temporary stint as the No. 1 team in the world.

Their underwhelming performance at the BLAST Premier World Final meant they were knocked off their perch at the top of the world rankings before the year ended.

The aforementioned "humbling defeat in Abu Dhabi" was the catalyst for the current change according to Nikolai Petrossian, the CEO of Outsiders' parent organisation, with him stating that that they "realized that the team needed changes that would allow us to stay true to our playstyle, while not letting opponents adapt to us."

Petrossian went on to say that n0rb3r7 "is a brilliant player, that's why we don't put him out on a transfer list," and that Outsiders were "ready to consider proposals for a temporary loan" while he was on the bench.

KaiR0N-, the youngster joining the squad, has already made a name for himself as an up-and-coming player, as evidenced by his recent bold prediction nods from YEKINDAR and new teammate Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali.

The rifler's best-rated periods came during recent stints for INDE IRAE and Spirit Academy, where he averaged a 1.14 and 1.22 rating respectively. He also briefly featured for the main Spirit roster at the end of 2021, but struggled to perform in the four maps he played at DreamHack Open November.

Outsiders are now:

Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali
Petr "⁠fame⁠" Bolyshev
Evgenii "⁠FL1T⁠" Lebedev
Aleksei "⁠Qikert⁠" Golubev
Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin

Dastan "⁠dastan⁠" Akbayev (coach)

David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan (benched)

That is undebatable.

2023-02-05 15:17

kair0n will perf better than norbert, he's an upcoming talent. Reasoning like that is stupid, m0nesy has 0 majors so he's bad?

yeah I can understand that but they should have given a bit more time imo

2023-01-08 19:58

+1. after major they had only 1 event, so kick player after 1 bad event sounds really stupid, maybe we dont know something still

2023-01-08 20:40

True. Just feel bad for norbert

2023-01-08 22:42

You have to settle at not being the best at times, realizing that what you have, is the best you can get.

2023-01-10 09:29

We can see a pattern - Krakow 2017, Boston 2018, Rio 2022.

2023-01-08 22:18

ah yes, 2017, 2018 then randomly jumps to 2022 that looks like a pattern xd

2023-01-09 00:08

I'm sure you're smarter than that. Teams that won these events wasn't favourites by a large margin. I wouldn't say fluke but they got lucky and probably didn't treasure it as much so roster moves followed immediately.

2023-01-09 01:00

yeah I know what u mean im just being ironic. Also saying it was a fluke is going easy on this teams, they were lucky af and that kind of stuff only happens a few times

2023-01-09 09:47

2023-01-10 21:49

the thing is gambit went to shit because they replaced a player

2023-01-09 01:29

actually same can be said for C9

2023-01-08 23:23

Karon is a beast

2023-01-09 03:15

Yea it seems kinda weird.. and a little soon.. but the bench doesn’t sound permanent so maybe he will be back

2023-01-09 12:34

right? every outsiders game I watched (from rio to blast world) norbert has been crazy good. I'm so confused.

2023-01-11 06:59

why?

Refused to drop awp to jame

2023-01-08 18:38

2023-01-08 19:25

Do you think KaiR0N will be happy dropping it? He wasn't picked by Spirit because he didn't enjoy playing supporting roles

2023-01-08 23:54

He’ll be kicked in 2 months then

2023-01-09 01:43

imagine taking that seriously

2023-01-09 08:08

That's what magixx said in interview about why they didn't take Kairon after trial.

2023-01-09 09:51

I think he was available and the roster wanted him but I do not know for sure. Hope I had help

He is not dropped - „He remains Part of the team!“ I guess it is preventing a coming burnout.

2023-01-08 18:46

hes benched bro, simple as that

nah trial run

2023-01-08 23:45

Now he will rot on bench like buster did

2023-01-08 21:03

Buster is going to get an upgrade to C9 after rotting on the bench.

2023-01-09 01:13

upgrade???

2023-01-09 04:16

What I meant it's an upgrade for buster since Gambit/C9 have been better than VP. Obviously buster is very questionable addition to C9, probably a downgrade.

buster is good as, i think he is more skilled than interz tbh

I honestly think this will allow them to reach new consistency, all respect to norbert but in my opinion he is just average or slightly below, meanwhile kairon is a good prospect, Jame sees the potential and wants to use it, nice move, hope it works out for them, cheers

Nothing wrong with some new blood after a fluke Major win lol

disband incoming

2023-01-08 21:06

if u watch outsiders games u see n0rbert rages too much and always tilted, jame just told him to gtfo like he said to yeki once youtube.com/watch?v=abYWQT-HH-I&t=8131s

interesting theory

2023-01-08 17:33

major winner disband

what

2023-01-08 17:22

I think this is all because of vp's star illness

Why

No one replaced anyone, KaiR0N joined as the 6th player in VP

wat de fuk

2023-01-08 17:23

lucky win anyways

Overdrive don't miss bruh

NEVEREVER

2023-01-08 19:51

Looks like even they knew the major was a fluke

Wtf? Last place at BLAST then change roster?

The article says that he needs to "improve his form". Idk maybe he went full-alcoholic and celebrated too hard?

2023-01-08 18:19

OMG.

2023-01-08 17:24

-_0

this is the fastest change a major winning roster ever did, right?

seems like it

2023-01-08 17:25

C9?

Skadoodle retired himself and Tarik+Stewie just left like snakes. However, no1 was kicked, so I guess it is not appropriate to mention C9

2023-01-08 17:53

Norbert is not kicked or will be transfer listed as it says in article basically they will be 6 man roster but norbert is benched for the moment until he improves.

2023-01-08 18:28

Man, benched or kicked us literally the same, the only reason he is still in outsiders is the fact that he has contract with VP. “Until he improves” is just an excuse. Everyone knows that 6-man rosters don’t work. The only chance for norbert to come back is Kairon dropping 0.3 rating. You shouldn’t trust everything u see, especially when it comes to Snake.Pro

2023-01-08 21:46

No beched and kicked are 2 completely things. When you benched you are just not in active roster but still part of team until contract runs o ut or gets terminated dependi g on contract ofc but when you benched you get full or partial salary still, when you kicked you have no ties with roster or org anymore and aint getting paid.

2023-01-09 11:11

he is the 6th man like bubzjki was the 6th man, lol

2023-01-09 01:36

Hes not really 6thmen but he will just sit in bench and get reduced salary probs until either they decide whst to do or his co tract runs out or will leave on mutual agreement.

2023-01-08 21:25

no way lol

2023-01-08 17:26

LMAO

Lol didn't norb3r7 recently make a post about him not going anywhere and to not believe the rumors

i believe sadly the players themselves are always the last people to know

Definitely has been the case more often than not, that's gotta be a tough one to swallow

To be fair he did not go anywhere. The statement sais he is still on the team and vp won't put him on transfer list.

2023-01-08 18:35

overdrive haters will say its fake

still waiting news regarding rain and "shoking news" that should have appeared on this week.

well there has been several rumors that rain is taking a break because he'll become a father and faze is always extremely late with their announcements so i wouldnt count it out yet

2023-01-08 17:32

dont worry if you are good enough pro scene is still here

2023-01-08 18:45

Expected from Jame “Twofaced” Toledo…

Jame went for the same bold prediction as he did in 2021, choosing 18-year-old Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin.

2023-01-08 17:35

his bf

Unlu4ko for norbert, he was prolly toxic or smth

i doubt it, he was armenian thats why they kicked him

2023-01-08 17:41

what the fuck

David "⁠n0rb3r7⁠" Danielyan = 1 x Major winner some old pros = 0 Major

Truly the Krakow 2.0.

2023-01-08 17:39

what the ?

2023-01-08 17:40

Gambit 2.0, wait to top 50

i bet its connected with some form of motivation issues and Jame noticed it and doesn't wanna drag it for to long rather swap it fast while his roster is still fairly hot. Good move Jame God.

More to follow... ? I see you really got nothing to post during player break lol

Jame went for the same bold prediction as he did in 2021, choosing 18-year-old Aleksandr "⁠KaiR0N-⁠" Anashkin. He was inspired by the fact the youngster was discovered by the player Jame started his career with, saying last year: "PASHANOJ found this guy. I believe that he will make himself known."

kkkkkk

This is actually an upgrade

Good move, they are looking to the future, Kairon ceiling is much higher

Lazy newswritters. I’ve canceled hltv premium

mf we should've picked up norbert god damn it

He deffinitely is better than buster

2023-01-08 17:52

my team is retarded 💀

Fr they had plenty of players to choose from - forester, mir, norbert and they choose arguably the worst player out of them lmao

2023-01-08 17:56

shouldve gotten moE fr

Him and nafany would blow the roof off any arena

2023-01-08 18:00

We will be fine with buster, anyone's an upgrade over interz

2023-01-09 02:54

Has to figure out how to deal with 5 awps

2023-01-08 17:49

men((

They did norbert dirty just like sanji. Let's see if jame is able to fit kairon into this roster, 3 cracked riflers and I bet none of them wants to jump spot B on mirage with a molly in hand

... there is still one spot left after 3 riflers and jame. Obviously it's quikert

2023-01-08 18:12

yeah quikert is going to have the worst positions on the team prob

2023-01-08 19:33

+1 qikert is the new sanji anyways

2023-01-08 19:43

4 months later: qikert gets replaced since he became the new 0.9 rating outsiders support player

2023-01-09 01:40

Why Jame???????????

Wins major and gets kicked?

2023-01-08 17:54

norbert best female player in the world

obviously

Interesting choice. Norbert was the one first to go if Vp was doing any chances, but certainly didn't expect any. I have fate in Jame.

go play against 5awpsfromsky again hogrider

2023-01-08 17:59

I didn't expect it but glad to see more russian talent flourish

armenia out

Ahahha, even vp understand major was fluke

2023-01-08 18:02

Wow, did not expect this. Props for outsiders to have balls to pull out the trigger when there's opportunity. Curious how it will pan out...

Wow, that's crazy! Even if it's an upgrade over norbert and kinda an investment in a young player, there is a saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". They just won the major, this doesn't make much sense

2023-01-08 18:04

He won major just by being there, 0% impact sice he joined, he had few good maps and that's it , he should be grateful cus others from outsiders won him a major... undeserved af

2023-01-08 18:05

you cant win major 4v5, he did lot of other job except of fragging

2023-01-08 18:07

Like niko on any important matches... He still did his job. Support players on jame's team have no room to improve.

2023-01-08 19:59

In all honesty - he has been a great pit player on Inferno

2023-01-08 20:41

> gets signed by a more or less banned org > wins a major > bombs out of the next event > get replaced by his captain's bold prediction > refuses to elaborate

exactly what i was thinking

2023-01-08 22:52

kekw move

2023-01-08 18:08

n0rb3r7- "Before I joined Outsiders, they were talking to K23 about fame. They only wanted fame from K23, and maybe after they signed him, they instantly decided to pick me because they said there is nobody who can join them."

2023-01-08 18:09

They got last place at BLAST by losing to G2 and Liquid…the 1st and 2nd place teams of the tournament… Seems like a wild overreaction.

Poor n0rb3r7 maybe he can’t play some tournaments for some reason but I like KaiR0N ;)

2023-01-08 18:17

good pickup let’s hope for a more consistent outsiders

2023-01-08 18:18

Hopefully someone picks him up. Imagine joining a team for not even a year, winning a major and getting kicked.

2023-01-08 18:20

VirtusPro*

2023-01-08 18:29

wuuutt

“Has been signed by Outsiders” No last time I checked he was signed by VP. Quit the fucking virtue signaling.

LOL winning major = replace support player you brought in to play bitch roles just like you did with Sanji VP LOLCOW

2023-01-08 18:31

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAPPY FOR THE GOAT KAIRON THO

Deserved and based, but hopefully Kair0n will actually find a place in the VP roster

wait what why lmao dosent make sense

Good move, can't take seriously a guy playing with gamer sleeves

he was a good clucher

2023-01-08 18:39

why

2023-01-08 18:40

LOL WHAT win a major, lose 1 event, roster change??? kair0n is good but wtf why would outsiders make a change lol

n0rb3r7 is not the problem.

What a weird fucking move

What's weird bro ? Outsiders also know that Rio was a very lucky event for theme in terms of teams they faced to win the event. At Abudhabi they were back to reality loosing to Liquid and G2 and now if they had opportunity for Upgrade then why not go for it ? Not Every event will be Rio...

2023-01-09 04:54

Interesting, let's go!

ok this is weird move, Kair0n could be better but poor norbert, win a majorm have 1 shit tournament after that and get dropped

2023-01-08 18:51

weird but i guess understandable in the sense that they know rio was fluke and they will probably never win anything else with that lineup

2023-01-08 18:56

wait wasn't he their best player?

No he was way worst, even at major they won

2023-01-08 19:16

no, i'd say the worst after qikert but still not bad

2023-01-08 20:22

hahahahaha. ast Thursday, famous Russian insider Aleksey “OverDrive” Biryukov advanced that Outsiders plans to replace David “n0rb3r7” Daniyelyan with Aleksandr “KaiR0N-” Anashkin. After releasing this information, the Outsiders athlete went public to deny his departure. Apparently, all these rumors that claim that the young Russian will leave emerged through the Russian insider and gained weight after his girlfriend, in a live broadcast, mentioned that n0rb3r7 would be expelled from the team that won the IEM Rio Major 2022. The young man has already come forward to respond to these rumors, claiming that his girlfriend deceived the community: “Nobody kicked me out. She became unbalanced and did not control what she said”. Despite the athlete having denied it, after Aleksey “OverDrive” Biryukov confirmed it, Portuguese journalist Luís Mira also confirmed that he had also heard that KaiR0N- would replace the athlete at Outsiders.

Now time to replace qikert

2023-01-08 19:15

-qikert +who ?

2023-01-09 04:57

simple of course

2023-01-09 12:28

That's a backstab of sorts.

Good move go vp

Good luck KaiR0N-.

2023-01-08 19:29

It's birdfromsky and his radar hack once again ruining sUpErCooLnAmEgUY's plans

2023-01-08 19:39

imagine unironically trying to talk shit about the most recent major winner

Not super difficult to imagine as I already did it, is it?

aui_2000

2023-01-08 19:47

Yeah, quite similar although Aui's impact was bigger.

100% Jame gonna use him as YEKINDAR since kair0N has same style as Yekindar, both are very agressive players

2023-01-08 19:49

wasn't fame a new yeki?

2023-01-09 12:27

No, fame play anchor roles.

Big bet... Right now hes not better than Norbert, has to be tested vs top tier, ofc with time he'll be a beast playing under jame

2023-01-08 19:57

He is 6th player, not replacing Norbert

It is meant as replacing the player in the active team roster.

2023-01-08 20:12

2023-01-08 20:02

literally Jame: youtube.com/watch?v=jFXNWopGebc

2023-01-08 20:09

norbert should help out simple at navi maybe he can win another major with him

2023-01-08 20:31

Navi just need to bring back Boombl4 tbh, they need an actual igl, not another fragger.

2023-01-09 16:30

tbh he was not good any time, just a pug player. so, good move.

2023-01-08 20:20

WTF

interesting

2023-01-08 20:23

These CS generations are mentally ill. Every 2nd decision is so wrong. NRBT winning Major, gets kicked 1 months after. HUNDEN cheating, after hired by Astralis. Just haha, what a clown scene we have nowadays, 0 reasonableness 🙂

WOW another young talent who will get benched after 2 months.

2023-01-08 20:35

Dude this CIS and russian mentality is just something else, just like Gambit in 2017 they do roster change basically right after winning a major. Russians get to win one event and all of a sudden their ego is over the moon and they can't no longer cooperate. Ofc we all know it was a fluke win just like Gambit in 2017 and Outsiders would not be able to maintain their rank and form no matter what they do, but still what mastermind comes up with an idea of making roster change right after you win biggest CS event there is...

2023-01-08 20:37

There are counter-examples for the "mentality" reason, like Gambit 2020-2022 and NAVI who rarely changed a player. The most logical reason to bench norbert is a behind-the-scenes conflict with the players

2023-01-08 21:08

Yeah as I said rise of ego and conflict between each other since every player on that team things he is top 1 after winning major, same way thought about themselfs gambit players, that's why they wanted to kick Kane their coach and when Zeus said he will go as well, they were like "we are major champions we don't need you" and guess how they end up lol. Yeah Navi is exeption since org is in esport for +10 years so they probably know what are they doing.

2023-01-08 21:17

wtf was Gambit supposed to do if kane was completely useless as a coach? They even released a statement saying that kane was unprofessional and didn't even perform his coaching duties, and players were deeply dissatisfied with him even before winning the major. So they wanted to kick a paycheck stealer but Zeus wanted to stay with his boyfriend. I don't understand how you would draw the conclusion that it was their ego, players thinking they're top 1, making the roster changes.

2023-01-09 04:55

kane was such a useless coach that Gambit won major with him lmao. And even if it is true that he didn’t do “analyst” part of his job but was more of a moral support and zeus did analyst part for him there is nothing wrong with. You act like Gambit player had to do Kane’s job etc. which is not true. Of the server coach works 90% of the time with IGL and if Zeus was happy with him it is hard to argue. If kane comes as package with Zeus one of the best IGLs at the time who just won you major, you should use your brain before letting them go. Say what you want but letting go your IGL and coach few days after you win major is just dumb and history showed us how kazachs in Gambit ended up with their “way”.

2023-01-10 01:49

True

2023-01-09 13:29

Why!?

Plays 1 tournament which is the major and wins it *Needs a break* LMAOOO HAHHAHA

Move is illogical on paper, break or otherwise. I'm guessed there is some internal turmoil in the team.

2023-01-08 21:37

I think the same.

2023-01-09 00:03

ANASHKIN SKYWALKER

2023-01-08 21:47

Really?

They won a major 2 months ago

2023-01-09 20:14

A team that won the major 2 months ago made a roster move meanwhile vitality is still keeping the same roster

2023-01-08 22:07

Major winners in shambles

2023-01-08 22:11

This has to be the most puzzling roster decision ever, just based off of no information and seeing a major champion make a roster move just a few months after winning. I do like KaiR0N, but I'm very surprised they didn't get Forester. Maybe they like the idea of trying to develop young talent after flipping Yekindar for a bag lol

2023-01-08 22:39

maybe people avoiding forrester for a reason its weird

2023-01-09 01:02

That's weird indeed, on paper he is the best available player for C9 and VP. I hope it's roles/playstyle or buyout from Entropiq than being difficult to play with.

2023-01-09 01:16

Right? He seems like the best option from the eye test and what I've watched. Must be more to it, C9 wanting Buster maybe for experience and because he was solid on old VP is fair... but I dont get this one. Like #317 said maybe buyout is huge

2023-01-09 06:53

bold move, i respect it

2023-01-08 22:51

finaly norbert is out from VP maybe they can become a decent team. Rio major winning is one of the biggest flukes I ever saw in cs on paper kairon > norbert, will see "blyat, ewe i norbert ne v komande, za chto mne eta hyinia"

2023-01-08 23:26

absolute sigma move from Norbert > joins 1 tier 1 team > wins major first try >gets kicked, refuses to elaborate. common Sigma chad armenia w

2023-01-09 00:11

When was Outsiders a tier 1 team?

2023-01-09 03:05

questionable

2023-01-09 00:17

I'd rather kick Qikert, but if they are doing this to stop his burnout, that's okay

2023-01-09 01:10

overdrive was right, idk if this kick is faster then some of the french rosters imploding

2023-01-09 01:20

Kair0n doesn't like support roles... I give him 2 months max

2023-01-09 02:06

give it all to qikert

2023-01-09 03:29

Outsiders fluke Major

2023-01-09 02:57

Not fluke

n0rb3r7:I won't be kicked.

2023-01-09 03:40

2023-01-09 04:12

Announce Forester new team

2023-01-09 06:09

atleast he won a major

2023-01-09 06:28

finally kicked armenian bot now - qikert + forester

2023-01-09 06:56

2023-01-09 09:39

2023-01-09 09:45

If I had a major winning lineup, I wouldn't mess with it so soon. "Never change a winning team". But who knows, maybe it turns out good.

2023-01-09 12:29

Good move

2023-01-09 13:28

lol

2023-01-09 13:35

2023-01-09 14:44

dumb decision. seems like owner of VP wants russian squad

2023-01-09 15:35

The owner of VP is armenian now. First thing they do is kicking Armenian. But Norbert girlfriend says it's the team. And we saw she somehow knows more than Norbert lol.
