flameZ replaces dupreeh in Vitality

Vitality seek to "build a new generation of champions" with a move for a younger talent.

Vitality have announced that Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan has replaced Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen in the roster. The French organization has thanked the Dane for his contribution to the club and welcomed the Israeli youngster, who joined the team on a free transfer following the end of his contract with OG.

dupreeh's time in the active roster ends after nearly a year and a half. In that time he helped the team win three titles, at ESL Pro League Season 16, IEM Rio, and most recently at the BLAST.tv Paris Major. The Paris victory marked the Dane setting a new record for most Major victories by a single player, as he secured his fifth following four Major wins with Astralis.

dupreeh shared his hopes to add a sixth Major victory to his name at the first CS2 Major in Copenhagen

The veteran has released a statement saying he respects the decision despite his disagreement with it. "I don’t feel we had come to the end of the road with the current team, but I respect Vitality´s decision and wish them all the best," dupreeh said.

He went on to share his aim to join a new team and hopes to win his sixth Major at the PGL CS2 Major set to take place in March in Copenhagen.

"I still feel I am on the top of my game and will spend my holidays on exploring what the next chapter in my life should be. Obviously would love to win the 6th Major in my hometown next year, but winning a Major is not easy and I would need to find a team and an organization who share my ambition, professionalism and willingness to sacrifice to achieve the goal.“

flameZ joins Vitality as one of the hottest prospects of the ongoing tournament break. Reports linked the former OG star with interest from several top teams, and he has ultimately joined the current No. 1 squad in the world to reunite with compatriot and former Aequus and Tikitakan teammate Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi.

The French organization shared a clear direction with the move, saying it was made "in order to build a new generation of champions" and pave the way to "cultivate new talents and strategies that will keep our team at the forefront of the Counter-Strike scene."

Vitality now have:

France Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire
France Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut
Denmark Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif
Israel Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi
Israel Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan

Denmark Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen (coach)

Denmark Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen (benched)

why? dupreeh will only get worse, you cant keep recycling old players even if they still can compete somewhat. dude is 30 with kids bro.

Because buzz is shit and dupreeh not. Yeah he probably wont improve much but doesnt necessarily get worse either. 15yr olds are highly overreacting on the age. Its all about the player if he still wants to compete and put the effort in, dupreeh kinda seems like he wants to.

Wow Flamez lucked out on this, right into a team that contends for major trophies. Doesn't get any better than that. I think he will do extremely well because he is not a star player and should fit the supportive role better with 0 pressure on him to top frag.

yeah. as of the 1st half of 2023 xertioN really performed better, but I think that MOUZ were a lot better than OG to begin with, and a lot of the times flameZ was actually brought down by that fact (that sounds hella coped I know, but flameZ is still a great player non the less). both players are really good and I hope to see them thrive and prosper

I actually don’t think they have any shot at an era now, removing veteran experience and the most decorated player in CSGO for a hot-and-cold rising star doesn’t exactly spell consistency. I know it makes sense firepower-wise, but I would definitely not expect them to be consistent since Vitality already had issues with that

The team have experience. Zonic, Magisk, Apex... Even Zywoo have been there for some times now. My concern is more about attitude. With Dupreeh, when things go bad, you still speak to him with respect. Of course, that what is expected between human being. But I hope having a young one will not change that, otherwise the spirit might go bad. That being say, I also don't know what Dupreeh brings outside and in the game. So, it's a risky move, not so great timing from Dupreeh perspective... Feel unfair.

Vitality is Not navi, I dont think they will put the blame on flameZ, they know from experience that new lineups can take time until they perform. And now they got time. Next major is in 2024 and everyone but apex is young or even has their prime potentially still ahead of them.

It shows that Dupreeh was in overdrive mode during the last 3 tournaments. Players explained multiple times that the little Jackz inclusion changed completely the way they looked at Dupreeh's role. He instantly improved after coming back and trying to play like Jackz did. More instinctively. Also the players were putting way more work than usual preparing for this major. There's a good chance that Dupreeh can't stand that level of involvement and dedication in the long run with his family work now. I wouldn't be surprised if the players talked about it together before taking the decision. In the end bringing a young promising prospect to open a new chapter now is better than waiting for Dupreeh to completely crumble under pressure of seeing his child grow and working hard enough to stay the n°1 team in the world. New game, new season ... the old lion is leaving the pack.

Average users have short memory or follow blindly narratives (delusional). They forgot Dupreeh had poor stats for a long time before those last months, and think he can keep up like for a long time. Then, blinded by those last months good results, they didn't believe the move was happening and when they saw evidence of it, they invented a false narrative as Dupreeh wants to retire (even if they were proofs that he was motivated to grind for CS2 major) to cope

Vitality now have, HANDS down, the most firepower in a CSGO roster! If roles are getting figured out and they all perform like they should. even if they have to carry botPex, it's almost SCARY just looking at how good this roster should be! zonic (GOAT coach) could have never dreamed of having such a stacked roster after Astralis era in 2017-2019.

Everyone is crying that Dupreeh is a great player and they just won a major. Yes he is, yes they did. I suspect this is a decision to cement their team going forward longer term. You already have a core team of Zywoo, Sphinx and Magisk who could have 5+ years of domination together, adding flamez in for dupreeh is just ensuring that the team isn't all of a sudden going to lose their 2 older players in a year or 2 due to retirement/poor performance. I'd like to think that they are going to slowly transition Magisk to 2nd caller/calls on some maps etc for when apex/the team decides it is time for apex to also leave. Additionally business wise this is a super smart move. You sign a young talented player without paying a big buyout, but you still have dupreeh on the bench in case it doesn't work out and you sell flamez.

why ppl like to discredit IGLs so much... I mean it's normal that IGL and coach should communicate and if they keep doing it they will keep playing well.

I mean, what would all these aim gods do without IGLs? Run chaotically around the map? Maybe apEX and other IGLs sometimes tend to go for some risky plays, because they do hard entry as well

It's an eSport organisation, it's not about charity, only about winning. And this is the right move for that. Come on, this is the perfect moment for Dupreeh to retire and to sign a great new talent whom is free. Or you can do like Astralis and keep your olds legends just by respect and not qualify for majors and lose tons of money.

Why would you do that ? You do it like Astralis, keep your legends and fail miserably and lose ton of money and when it's time to replace players there is no one available ? You don't run a multimillion business out of compassion.

It's not even about compassion, though. Dupreeh is doing average and Vitality is doing good. One thing I learned from watching n1 teams doing roster changes is that you never try to fix what's not broken, this is usually the downfall of a working system.

I hate when the top team or top 5 make changes. I can see this becoming a Navi (sdy for npl), Cloud9 (buster fail) or virtus pro (sanji) situation easily. There is a reason Dupreeh has won the most ever. I hope he joins another top team and wins again. I think people underestimate what certain players bring inside and outside the game.

It's a potential small upgrade with potentially higher ceiling, especially if you compare it with how much of an upgrade any actual IGL would be over apex. I'm confused about this, tho now I have even less reasons to care about Vitality. Looking forward to see where Dupreeh goes

I know some fans are upset but this is very smart, it’s very rare for players like FlameZ to be available, let alone without a transfer fee. He’s been playing out of his mind on OG and this is the type of move a #1 team makes to stay #1

Make him 6th player and at least give dupreeh chance to fight for the spot? Flamez is nothign special average tier 1 player at best. If they were about to sign someone like iM or Boros or other world class rifler instead of dupreeh let it be, but this way? I am done with Vitality

FlameZ is above “average tier 1” in my books. As a massive Degster fan there was a period where I can comfortably say FlameZ was OG’s best player. His quality entry skills are exactly what Vitality need, Boros may become better but it’s hard to gauge how they compare right now. iM is a god, I can understand wanting him more. I truly think he will become a top 10 player. Its hard to say what made Vitality not pursue him, maybe they did and he chose Na’Vi. It’s weird Na’Vi is the only rumour we’ve heard for him… makes me feel like he chose them and wasn’t budging.

Winning two events in row including flawless major run + making roster changes 4 weeks after = PURE BRAINDEAD I stand by that no matter how good options were for Vitality, you just don’t mess with winning formula until it works (ask 2017 Gambit and Rio Outsiders), it is not just about fragging and rating, team chemistry and synergy is a thing. FlameZ is another young hungry player who I really doubt will take all the shit roles dupreeh played.

idk about that when Astralis removed once Kjaerbye they went to win a lot. Despite winning major its a calculated risk that vita probably took and judging that flameZ is israeli and likes spinx and played with him before he might mix well with team. Though it sucks for duppe also judging by this tweet the information was awkward for Vitality players: twitter.com/Vitality_apEX/status/1671574..

Astralis had zero intentions of removing Kjaerbye, North offered him $$$ and he stabbed Astralis and his team mates in the back, that’s why Astralis signed Magisk, otherwise no roster changes would happen, astralis players themselfs confirmed this at the time. Not to mention Kjaerbye left Astralis after 2 disappointing Majors and one year after their win in Atlanta so it is completely uncomparable.

It makes all the sense in the world to change him right now. Next major is in 1 year, Dupreeh won't keep up his level and when it will be time to replace him there might not be players like Flames. Don't get fooled by last results, the Paris Major was a huge motivation for the team and they all stepped up, they can only go down now, change is necessary

I don't agree about the numbers of better IGL available tho. And changing one person for the same position is one thing, Flamez will be easy to integrate, changing the IGL modify the structure of the team it's a whole another story.

Someone speaking sensible and actually understanding this. This is literally how 99% of any professional sports team is ran. At some point the older players have to make way for the newer, younger ones. Sure they could've gone on with Dupreeh and still won tourneys, but flameZ being available without a free was an opportunity you had to seize.

Yeah it’s a good move, maybe the only logical move so far. Dupreeh is still a solid player but as we saw he’s replaceable with Jackz, and flamez is just as good and much younger. It’s better than underperformance and receiving abuse at that stage of your life and career. He’s got a baby for Chris’s sake.

No respect to this fucking org. He was part of the change that got them 3 titles (their first major) and like that they get rid of him. Hope they go back to be the chokers they were.

Quite expected but Vitality did Dupreeh dirty the way he has been clear about not retiring and very motivated to play on top of his game and swapping him out for a somewhat unproven youngster especially after winning a major. But I get it, this was the best moment to get FlameZ and could be a potential good move for the future in mind, but it's still a bit risky move.

This is literally how 99% of any professional sports team is ran. At some point the older players have to make way for the newer, younger ones. Sure they could've gone on with Dupreeh and still won tourneys, but flameZ being available without a fee was an opportunity you had to seize. Personally think that if this roster clicks they are #1 easily.

Vitality did the right decision, Flamez was a free agent who is skilled and has cheap sallary. Even if Flamez doesn't work out and Vitality sell him, it's still a plus.
