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

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:

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

Brazil Olavo "⁠chucky⁠" Napoleão (coach)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

1 reply
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.

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.

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!
