TALON bench mhL

25-2-2025 18:51

The Polish AWPer is out of the active lineup after six months.

Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak has been moved to TALON's bench and is "free to explore options with no buyout and play [practices]/officials with teams (with prior TALON approval)," the 22-year-old sniper announced on X.

He was the team's highest-rated player during his tenure, averaging a 1.16 rating over 44 maps.

The move comes after a deflated start to life for the Oceanic roster which only came together in August last year.

TALON notably qualified for the Perfect World Shanghai Major Asia RMR and upset FlyQuest in their opener, but subsequent back-to-back losses to Rare Atom and Lynn Vision meant they missed out on the Major proper.

The team also competed in a handful of online European cups before the Asia RMR but won just four out of their 12 matches. They are currently ranked No. 246 in Valve's Global Ranking (No. 32 in Asia) and No. 108 on HLTV.

mhL and Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward have both been absent from the four officials TALON played in the new year, with the team competing in Oceanic competitions with Euan "⁠sterling⁠" Moore and Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri instead.

One for the future: mhL

After the move, TALON looks as follows:

Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward
Corey "⁠nettik⁠" Browne
Jared "⁠hazr⁠" O'Bree
Christian "⁠ADDICT⁠" Pendleton

Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak (benched)

Oh no! Anyway

This isn't criticism of or a shot at you in any way, but the org - GamerLegion's new logo is pretty bad, too, lol.

2025-02-26 16:50

Now look at new Mouz logo - looks bad as well kkk

2025-02-26 17:37

Yeah, I hated the rebrand and the name change. Mousesports was way better, and had an awesome logo.

2025-02-26 18:14

i mean at least it's an improvement over the old one. with hellraisers they took an iconic logo and were like "yeah let's replace this shit with two eyebrows"

2025-02-26 21:16

3DMAX also took classes by the looks of things

its not that bad but not better than old logo for sure

2025-02-25 20:27

It is, from graphical standpoint. A lot better.

Old 3DMAX logo was horrendous

2025-02-25 22:01

Matter of preference, since both logos look alright. But nobody in their right mind can argue that the New Hellraisers logo is better than the old one..

2025-02-26 08:11

Mouz

2025-02-26 16:23

Mouz is alright, I get people prefer old logo due to nostalgia or maybe it might have been better in reality, but new Mouz logo is not bad in no world

and it is not MHL ... it is a sidegrade at the very best. 1.13 against AU mix is not a success.

2025-02-25 19:13

most of the talon matches with mhl were against eu teams?

2025-02-26 13:56

If you look on Talon's recent matches, there is no matches in EU. Maybe, some EU t3/t4 qualifiers, but still, it is not that impressive. I have nothing against Mhl. I wanted him in Liquid for Osee back then, but going to Faze after this meeh performance, let's be real. Fnatic, fine, but not faze. Broky is really struggling, but it is a different league too.

2025-02-26 15:37

i dont discuss your point, im just pointing out that saying "1.13 against AU mix is not a success." is simply not true. Mhl also stopped playing in this team right after rmrs if u haven't noticed.

2025-02-26 16:13

Ok, so, we was "technically" on the bench after the RMR. Talon didn't look hyper active anyway. I'm not against import EU players by the NA/AU region, but I feel they need 2 players from outside and a core of the region. It is too easy to feel uncomfortable. Ex. Fallen in Liquid, Skullz in Liquid, Junior in Furia.

He's a player I'd love to see back

2025-02-25 19:22

He played in one of those Asian mix teams not all that long ago and was horrible, to put it bluntly.

2025-02-26 15:01

sterling and malta are in the team now and mhL and AZR seem to have been benched?

2025-02-25 18:59

AZR isn't benched, Talon just couldn't bother making him travel to AU from Europe

Didnt know AZR lived in Europe or at least is in europe for whatever reason instead of back in AU.

2025-02-25 19:11

He was the team's highest-rated player during his tenure, averaging a 1.16 rating over 44 maps.*** Nettik had better rating, the hell ?
