Media: Stewie2K's Legacy stand-in spell set to end as team targets saadzin

3-5-2024 18:25

The Brazilian team is on the brink of completing the signing of the W7M player.

Stewie2K's time with Legacy is coming to an end

Legacy are close to signing Guilherme "⁠saadzin⁠" Pacheco from W7M, Dust2 Brasil has reported. The 19-year-old will fill the void that was created by the departure of two-time Major winner Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David.

Legacy and W7M have been locked in talks for several weeks now, with the transfer expected to be finalized once saadzin obtains a US visa to join the rest of the team in Texas. Until then, he will remain an active member of W7M's squad, and Legacy will continue to field Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip as a stand-in.

The former Liquid and Cloud9 player joined the team on a temporary basis at the end of March during what he described as "a moment of transition to the USA" for the team. He averaged a 0.95 rating as Legacy finished third in the North American Closed Qualifier for the Esports World Cup. He has also been playing with the team in ESEA Advanced, where Legacy are top of the league with a perfect 8-0 record.

coldzera's lawyer: "We reiterate that [he] no longer has any contractual relation with Legacy"

saadzin, who will become the primary AWPer for Legacy, was promoted from W7M's academy squad in July 2023. He is averaging a 1.13 rating with the team, which is currently ranked 15th in Brazil.

Contacted by Dust2 Brasil, both organizations confirmed that a deal is close at hand. "We are awaiting the conclusion of the bureaucratic procedures to make this negotiation a reality," Legacy said. "Stewie2K will continue to help us with our next commitments.”

saadzin's signing will leave Legacy with the following roster:

Gabriel "⁠NEKIZ⁠" Schenato
Eduardo "⁠dumau⁠" Wolkmer
Bruno "⁠latto⁠" Rebelatto
Bruno "⁠b4rtiN⁠" Câmara
Guilherme "⁠saadzin⁠" Pacheco

Olavo "⁠chucky⁠" Napoleão (coach)

Haha yeah if it was about frizon you're absolutely correct :'D

2024-05-08 16:15

You good bro?

2024-05-04 01:36

Context: Legacy Vlogs, latto strugles a lot communicating in english and tilted on a match. Stewie was just filling the space while the transfer window doesn`t open

1 : Legacy didn't kicked coldzera. He left, because they wanted to play in US. Coldzera didn't want to stay. 2 : Ppl think about die for me. It is normal to ask in pro levels to ask for bait. Kscetaro's career rely on baiting his teammates. 3: You're a salty person.

2024-05-04 00:38

2. Well yeah but he sounded like a whining baby the way he said it

2024-05-04 02:09

to be fair, it was understandable because stewie had a hell of a round and then they lose it because of a mistake by such a experienced player that should not happen.

2024-05-04 11:57

lmaaoo

2024-05-03 18:27

Been waiting for this for so long.

stewie2k fans are on par with the normie astralis fans at this point

What is the meaning of the 10am?

He cried about having to play matches at 10 am

2024-05-03 21:18

LOL 10am its really early for stewart rofl

2024-05-03 21:20

context : it was in the middle of COVID, during the lock-down when Liquid was playing the same NA teams over and over. Liquid players were near burn out and he streamed all night too. So, he didn't help his cause, but it was a symptom more than anything else.

2024-05-04 00:43

That's not even early lol. Doesn't he know that most people go to work around 7-8 am or something but he's complaining about having to play video games at 10 am lmao

2024-05-04 10:40

difference is the most viewer base gathers around 12pm and the tournament organizers rely on stream exposure to some degree, sponsor obligations and all that. Don't compare the average "joe's job" to freakin pro esport players who's main job is to compete and entertain a huge audience at the same.

2024-05-04 12:04

rip

sad is indeed in stewie after hearing this Honestly if Stewie is serious about coming back, just try and start your own project. I am sure there would be NA peeps willing to tag along

I dont think people are willing to do so with someone that still has a huge ego.

2024-05-03 18:30

Agreed, Stewie2k is just a person most wouldn't want to be around, he can't even take non-troll criticism without having a full-blown ego trip. He is also constantly degrading his teammates on stream when playing in high-elo matches, not even in the context of CS. He is a genuine man-child; this phase of his life should be over, he is 26 years old acting and speaking like a teenager.

2024-05-03 18:36

Quite the opposite, sounds perfect. NA is full of washed tier 4 players with massive egoes.

2024-05-03 18:58

He could join some NA team like BOSS, Party Astronauts or NRG

2024-05-03 21:19

like I said, he still has a giant ego despite how washed he is. And NRG's recycled enough has-beens already. No more please.

The teams in NA look like mixes from faceit all over, that is the impression i have when seeing these teams playing and their line-ups M80 is the only rising Na team that looks good but probably because they have 2 EU players

2024-05-03 21:23

M80 plays the standard fundaments of high tier CS, stems from maNkz and later s1n as they play more coordinated CS like that of EU. Its mostly the combination of NA aim mechanics and an EU IGL.

2024-05-03 21:24

I don't think Stewie will be too upset, it was clear from the start he was just a stand in. He got to play and show what he can do in a few officials and didn't completely embarrass himself.

2024-05-03 19:51

EZ 4 saadzin

8 map era

did anyone really think he was gonna do anything notable ?

I thought he’d at least be a solid t2 NA player and maybe earn one more chance at T1 tbh

2024-05-03 18:38

Stewie playing for Legacy lasted longer than many relationships

Stewart2000 to NRG maybe? Or Nouns.

stewie0.95 back to saying 'dude' and 'bro' in every sentence in faceit pugs

2024-05-03 18:40

"I will have the last laugh" Im still laughing come on kid

2024-05-03 18:42

Latto said that he was tlited with the match against m80 because he is having problems with english communication

2024-05-03 18:48

Congrats to legacy for being able to win advanced now

2024-05-03 18:50

I respect stew but he was not helping that team one bit. They will be better off without him

2024-05-03 18:53

great, now -Nekiz +Art and this team will once again compete for the #1 spot in Brazil

2024-05-03 18:54

Stewie played well, nice of him to stand-in for legacy. Team needed a full-time awper, and full portuguese comms are always better. GL.

he played a match for them?

2024-05-03 18:57

bye bye

2024-05-03 19:02

Sad for 8th all time best player in NA.

2024-05-03 19:22

If my goat not showing up on upcoming major on shanghai then i have no reason to go there gg

2024-05-03 19:42

Sad news for Stewie. I believe the contract was for 2 years? Guess career over now :(

2024-05-03 20:19

sad for him? He was being a paycheck stealer since EG tenure

2024-05-03 23:47

No Stewie is one of the most professional cs players I've worked with

2024-05-04 20:12

and who are you?

2024-05-04 20:13

Deez

2024-05-04 20:37

rip bozo

There's a reason why teams like BOSS, party astronauts, etc. T3 teams haven't considered him, might be because he is a valorant streamer

2024-05-03 20:23

who

yung stew

2024-05-03 22:19

What a fall from grace for Stewie damn

2024-05-03 22:23

XDDDDDDDDD

2024-05-03 23:25

expected from a mile

2024-05-03 23:44

Bruhahah...(((

Great, oportunities for br promisses. Case, that is in a bit lower level than w7m, has also a good awper with the same numbers, RCF. But 4 years older.

2024-05-04 00:17

Stew needs to start grinding with an NA team if he wants to come back.

2024-05-04 00:23

Yeah mixing NA players, especially ones who haven’t played in a while with Brazilians never works out. MIBR, Furia with Junior (tbf Junior was just trash), Fallen in Liquid etc.

2024-05-04 01:10

Yea

2024-05-05 06:04

Who TF is saadzin

2024-05-04 00:34

some1 who is likely better in aim, nades, and positional play than stewie2k

2024-05-04 13:03

2024-05-06 23:08

Rock bottom is rock bottom indeed

2024-05-04 01:05

Hes standing in for g2 at dallas lol that aint rock bottom

2024-05-04 02:50

haha hahah hahahah

2024-05-04 15:19

I think it's cool that they are going for a youngster on the AWP, look, if he turns out to be good, I think the star trio of dumau, latto and a good young AWPer can be one of the best in Brazil. If they can find a good IGL and a better support player, we have another candidate for no.1 in Brazil I feel like. And maybe even another dangerous team from Brazil internationally. I think it's a really cool move. GL boys!
