Media: Snappi and Falcons reach verbal agreement; ENCE eye gla1ve as possible replacement

Rostermania continues as Falcons close in on another high-profile signing.

Snappi is reportedly on the verge of signing for Falcons

Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer has reached a verbal agreement with Falcons, according to a report by SheepEsports. The article also states that Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander is currently the frontrunner to join ENCE if Snappi is to sign for Falcons.

HLTV can confirm that transfer talks for ENCE's IGL are very advanced and that the Finnish organization is interested in the benched Astralis captain.

Falcons have not yet put pen to paper with ENCE for Snappi's transfer, but it should be imminent as the Dane's contract is set to expire at the end of the year, giving the 33-year-old leverage during the negotiation process.

The Saudi organization is making waves with the rumored acquisitions of superstar players, and Snappi would come into a team of big names. Falcons' roster is led by coach Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen, with Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif also committed to the project after leaving Vitality.

Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač is reportedly close to joining the new star-studded lineup, while his teammate Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov has also been the subject of speculative rumors connecting him to Falcons. In the case of the AWPer, however, G2's General Manager Petar "⁠peca⁠" Marković has stated that they are not looking to sell him at any price.

Media: NiKo set to join Falcons

If the move comes to fruition, it would end Snappi's near three-year stint in ENCE. The team was ranked No. 1 in HLTV's world ranking for 10 weeks and won IEM Dallas under his leadership.

With negotiations nearing a close, ENCE are already searching for Snappi's replacement, and gla1ve is currently the favorite to take over the reins in the European team.

The Dane, who spent the last four months on the sidelines, has recently stated that he feels ready to return to competition. ENCE, the current second-best team in the world ranking, should no doubt be an interesting proposition.

As much as I love and respect gla1ve, snappi has both better individual stats and is much more proven in the meta of the last 2-3 years. ENCE has constantly been going deep runs and staying top 3 hltv, for the most part without any huge star players as material. Astralis under gla1ve has been nowhere. Gotta have mad respect for snappi, ESPECIALLY with his 33 years of age.

I’m sure Snappi is an adequate igl, but how is already suddenly the best igl in the world after winning nothing recently, with a good team? Like what? If people said hooxi (much more accomplished) was best igl people would be laughing. But why Snappi?

First ever cs2 event and they lost to the eventual winners Plus he also said that they weren't really practicing cs2 either Even if you dont buy that explanation, snappi has achieved far more recently, did it with an international lineup (very important in this case, we have never seen glaive igl an international team), and with less established pieces. His own fragging is also very impressive considering his age and role since he hovers around 1.0 rating meanwhile glaive is karrigan/hooxi tier now and has 0.8-0.9

Both those ratings are from one singular event, which as snappi already said they didn't really prepare for, check the last 6 months on lan for a more accurate overview Also before I answer the second point, do you think cadian is also a subpar igl because heroic hasn't won anything other than blast banana cups?

Yes, I do. He and Snappi are both decent IGLs but it’s always apples to oranges and we don’t know. I think saying any IGL is better than any other unless it’s a roster change is silly, but no one really knows. There is no player ranking, it’s a team sport.
2023-11-05 15:36

It is a team sport but saying that theres no player ranking is straight up wrong, why would players like simple, niko, zywoo and device get so much more attention than other players? It is because of their individual skill and ability to singlehandedly change the course of a game. It is true that its much harder to actually quantify the performance of an igl since the influence they have on the game doesn't really show up in stats. But we can see what kind of setups they do, how accurate their reads are, how good their midround calling is etc. from the games. And most people would consider both snappi and cadian to be top 3 IGLs currently for this reason. Both of them have built up teams that can compete at the top from pretty much nothing, and established a system that allows them to win despite having no massive star players like simple, niko or ropz (not trying to downplay players on either team, mostly everyone who plays at a t1 level is very good but theres still some who are a notch above)

That's what I mean. The competitive meta has shown that IGL's don't really have an age cap and most of the successful ones are either in the late-20's or exceed 30 years old, so gla1ve is still quite young in according to that standard.

Astralis is still the same old, underperforming Astralis even after Gla1ve's departure from the team. They've got some arguably better players to work with now than Gla1ve ever had on that squad and the results are still bad. Remember Farling? Missing easy shots on Nuke? Those were literal sitters. No matter how skilled of an in-game leader you are, you can't win games when your AWP player keeps missing shots. Put karrigan or any other igl in that team and you'd get the same results. This is like saying: "well, the driver of that car that has no wheels? yeah, it's his fault it ain't moving".

Karrigan has always been famous for making players around himself better, literally every single player peaked individually under karrigan’s leadership but when it comes to gla1ve I’ve never seen anybody improve except the OG astralis core If you cant make players around yourself improve then you are not a real leader. in game like CS we call them callers (callers=/=Leaders)

(Btw its kinda controversial but guardian couldn’t communicate in English properly so im not lying if i say that karrigan definitely helped him get in to the international environment Device,dupreeh,xyp all of them showed their potential in tier1 under his leadership (regardless of that choking days :) He single handedly revived Jks’s career :)

ENCE has surprisingly good options for replacements. Glaive, nexa, hampus, kyxsan and so on. And nexa and kyxsan have probably pretty "cheap" buyouts compared to Snappi, Hooxi and Apex for example. Besides Glaive, nexa and hampus have alot of experience from tier 1 events.

ye that's basically why ENCE will be fine and could even upgrade with Snappi's departure cause their most important piece is not one of their players but their coach.

kyxsan is just under siuhy's shadow, but his calling is good. And has worse pieces than siuhy. LikeI said hampus has tier 1 experience, but dsidn't mean that as igl he would be that good.

Not sure, snappi is not only a very good caller he was also a decent dragged for an igl, galive nowadays is still a decent caller but an abysmal fragger. Maybe he had lost motivation with Astralis and now will surprise but I really don’t think so. There aren’t many (if at all) igls that can replace snappi’s capabilities
2023-11-05 13:46

I guess maybe gla1ve can finally adapt with sAw's coaching, but if they really wanted to get a proper upgrade, they'd go for kyxsan.

how is gla1ve abysmal fragger, he had 0.95 even when astralis played like shit and were losing left and right. snappi has these stats while being in a stable top5 team

if a player shows interest in leaving, they're gonna let him leave especially if its a big offer such as the one Falcons must've made for m0nesy, which would be good for the org and the player it wouldn't be good for the team, the player and the org if it was ever found that they hadn't let him go but i think it all depends of NiKo if NiKo leaves, then m0nesy will also go

tbf he never exactly ventured out of Astralis before for years and he could maybe do something with sAw. Snappi was considered a massive failure until ENCE picked him up where he since essentially revived his career and people now see him as one of the best IGLs to ever touch CS. same thing could happen again since there's something about sAw that makes shit work. Gla1ve working with sAw could do the same as what happened with Snappi and revive his career.

The IEM Dallas trophy is a benchmark, also the consistency of ENCE's excellent results in many big events cannot be forgotten. Let's see if the tactical genius Gla1ve could replicate the same success of snappi or can do much better, with the same players at his disposal.

I think choosing Snappi over Glaive is about chemistry within the team. 1. There may be some bad blood over the Astralis split 2. You need a special type to Igl for an Ego like Niko, with great man management skills. I think Hooxi and Snappi (and Karrigan) has that, where Glaive and Cadian won´t take shit from team members. I wish the best for everyone involved, particularly Gla4ve.

Creating a top team isn't really a challenge? I thought zonic wanted a challenge, to create an underdog team and bring them up to tier 1, that would show zonic is an incredible coach. What we are seeing is a org loaded with money poaching the best players from top teams that doesn't really set a challenge.
