Official: OG transfer-list NEOFRAG, degster

The duo has been moved to the inactive roster as part of the team's rebuild.

OG have announced that Abdul "⁠degster⁠" Gasanov and Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar have been moved to the bench ahead of the fall season. Both players were part of the starting lineup for close to a year, but are now free to explore their options in the market.

The news comes among plans of a rebuild for the European squad around Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas, a returning Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković, and Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău. Coach Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due is also expected to take a different position within the organization, stepping down from a role he has held since January 2020.

degster has been benched after an 11-month stint with the organization

NEOFRAG first joined OG alongside F1KU in May 2022 as the team reorganized following their decision to bench Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså and Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen. The Czech player was a stable performer for the team, recording a 1.01 LAN rating and just three Big Events in the red out of the last seven attended.

degster also moves to the inactive roster despite being OG's highest-rated player over the course of the last year. The Russian sniper joined from Spirit in July 2022 providing a much-needed boost in their fragging output. He averaged a 1.15 rating in all competitions over the last 11 months, powering the European roster to their first-ever Major at IEM Rio 2022.

"Today we are announcing our decision to move Adam 'NEOFRAG⁠' Zouhar and Abdul '⁠degster⁠' Gasanov to the transfer list," read OG's announcement. "As we enter the new season, however, we have decided to build a new direction for the team and allow both of them to explore options for their futures."

OG are now just:

Poland Maciej "⁠F1KU⁠" Miklas

Denmark Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due (coach)

Russia Abdul "⁠degster⁠" Gasanov (benched)
Czech Republic Adam "⁠NEOFRAG⁠" Zouhar (benched)
Serbia Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković (benched)

Since Liquid is switching to international lineup as it seems, degster seems like an upgrade over oSee, or even over torzsi on MOUZ. Seems like the best realistic options for degster.

This move will remove OG from being a top10 contender to their real place, which is a mediocre academy team. OG has forever been a talented players' graveyard. With 0 titles and many talented players, this team has ruined careers for many top players. For example, valde got into this OG squad after 2 years in North, which he won 4 DreamHack titles with. A player that was with him in that North team is nico, also made the mistake of stepping into this team. nico earned 1 title with North, and 2 more with Heroic, and then he made the mistake of joining OG and since then he was either losing or benched. We can also look at mantu, he averaged 1.13 rating against top teams in a team that supposedly fought for a top place, and in the end he had to reinvent himself after getting kicked. What was their problem? I don't know I didn't see how the organization operated from within, from watching the games they never seemed like a team, they always rely on individuals popping off every now and then. When they signed degster it was after one event where he just popped off without committing to any "team tactic" and after a short time when he fully "joined" and practiced with the team he was just blending in the background. OG is a perfect example of how a team shouldn't look, ever, taking talents and managing them poorly. A team that buy great talents and "leave them behind" isn't a great team at all. My recommendation to Marix (who is a talented substitute they got) is to leave that place. A team that contends a top5 place and cannot win anything makes its players look very bad. Don't end up in the graveyard, get a decent team. gg og.
