UNiTED replace and add one

20-4-2010 13:16

There has been a lot of movement in the UNiTED camp the last week. Changes were announced, and we now see a major one.

After UNiTED's poor placing at Arbalet Cup Best of Four, the team saw it fit to make a couple of changes. Right after the tournament had been concluded, Malik "N1ck3L" Sualirov was announced to part ways with the squad.

Five days later we reported about the departure of the team's manager, Konstatin "groove" Pikiner, who had been a part of the project since the start. No reason was given, but further changes were said to come.

According to Cyberfight.ru, the team has now opted to replace Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov with former EYEsports member Eduard "ed1k" Ivanov. Filling Sualirov's shoes will be Ukraine's ENC team captain and former DTS.chatrix player Andrew "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy.

This leaves UNiTED with the following squad:

Dmitri "hooch" Bogdanov
Eduard "ed1k" Ivanov
Roman "ROMJkE" Makarov
Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev
Andrew "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy

Whether more announcements will appear is uncertain, but we're still monitoring the situation closely, so stay tuned to HLTV.org for any further updates.

good luck :D

ed1k, terrible move imo...better players out there from the Ukraine and Russia... considering the old UNiTED Lineup beat fnatic twice in a bo5 and they beat SK twice in a bo5...the only problem was they got beat by Na`Vi 5-0... but their old lineup beat two of the top four teams 4 outta 10 times.. didn't see why they changed just because they can't beat Na`Vi..i think they actually lost to Na`Vi 7 times in a row by my count.. but still, bad move imo..

They actually won SK once in 5 maps not twice ;) I agree that the lineup change was uneeded tho.

2010-04-20 15:34

SK beat them 4-1 not 3-2...

2010-04-20 17:47

N1ck3L needed to be replaced. That much is true. Wheter or not they needed to change two players I am not sure but we are on the outside looking in so maybe there was a problem with F_1N.

2010-04-20 18:47

GOTCHA

2010-04-20 13:18

quite interesting lineup, hope for best :) After UNiTED's poor placing at Arbalet Cup Ukraine Shouldnt be Arbalet Best of 4 Cup?

2010-04-20 13:59

B1ad3 > N1CK3L that's fo sho but I don't think ed1k is a super player, could be wrong tho :)

2010-04-20 13:58

wow good team, gl

2010-04-20 14:03

gl & go go go UTD hope you will show us better results and better game

2010-04-20 14:09

nice lineup

2010-04-20 14:13

I hope Virtus.pro will back soon :)

2010-04-20 14:19

next event will show correctness of replacement

2010-04-20 14:23

damn, would rather see XEK than ed1k, but ed1k is good to for sure, and b1ad3 is kinda not the right decision imo but lets see

2010-04-20 14:29

xek > ed1k ;(

2010-04-20 14:32

IMHO B1ad3 is best strategist&captain in Post Soviet Union... If He will captain and Hooch will only gamer then UNITED = Na'Vi

2010-04-20 14:48

I think Ed1k taken like good awp, but he is not stable player.

2010-04-20 14:48

Blade - experience. ed1k - aim.

2010-04-20 14:59

f1n was the best player you idiots prepare to suck hard

2010-04-20 15:01

Nah , this line up sux imo. ed1k? come on you can find better than him and b1ad3? you can find better than him to. Who said nickel was bad , are wrong he was really good. They will fail i can bet on fodder :)

UNiTED justify the name GL B1ad3, good tec leader!

2010-04-20 15:22

as i know F_1N is about 28~ years old so i think he thinks about retirement.

2010-04-20 15:22

1 reply

his age is a main problem i believe. It won't expect a progress from him in the future.

2010-04-20 17:34

Dosia will not leave forZe, cut the comments about him. ed1k is a great player and he's going to prove it for all of you. B1ad3 was amazing @ A-gaming back then with hooch and markeloff , I believe that hooch remember those times when they beated mousesports and it's a good move from UNiTED to add B1ad3. This lineup gonna pwn, you will see. Good luck.

2010-04-20 15:23

gL UNiTED

2010-04-20 15:31

-ed1k -ROMJKE +DIOXIDE +diNGo

2010-04-20 15:37

I think diNGo is inactive, he was the best player in Russia. Dosia is getting a really good salary in forZe. B1ad3 is among the best players in Ukraine and is a good addition, ed1k is a talented player from Russia and has not reached his peak level yet. Maybe upcoming player liTTle or xek would have been a good addition.

Wow, nice move. Didnt expect to see ed1k in the lineup. He's young and very motivated. Hope Blade will become igl.

2010-04-20 16:34

B1ad3 is needed in PinG!! Russia has enough of good players.. Why would they need blade. Adren Is getting a Russian citizenship but blade won't. It's like a-gaming with hooch.. Didn't work out. Best of luck of course but wanna see blade in PinG along with kucher. Also, F1N was great, shouldve just added ed1k and practice, practice, practice. Interesting project UNiTED.

2010-04-20 17:20

good move would be bringing back lex from retirement and adding dosia
