gr1ks loaned to GUN5

10-9-2025 13:03

The Belarusian AWPer is back in the server after being benched just two months into his spell with HEROIC.

Gleb "⁠gr1ks⁠" Gazin has signed for GUN5 on loan a little over a month since he was benched on HEROIC.

19-year-old gr1ks moved to HEROIC in June admidst interest from GamerLegion and FURIA after averaging a 1.14 rating in 2025, but was moved to the bench in August after just three events.

At the time, HEROIC management said that "we have to accept that not all the pieces we put together have fit as well as we hoped."

HEROIC bench gr1ks; loan Alkaren from Spirit

A key reason why gr1ks chose HEROIC over other tier one options was the presence of compatriot Andrey "⁠tN1R⁠" Tatarinovich, so it is fitting that he has now moved to tN1R's former organization in GUN5.

The majority-Russian team sits at 89th on the VRS but did prove itself as a talent factory for tN1R and Vladislav "⁠xiELO⁠" Lysov in the past. 18-year-old Philipp "⁠tex1y⁠" Moskvitin has also shown good form with a 1.13 rating in 2025.

The team are making their debut in CCT today, at 13:00 , with gr1ks in for former sniper Ivan "⁠fineshine52⁠" Lukin.

I mean, considering furia wanted to sign him and he rejected, and he literally played on astrum, yes he could have?

he has a very interesting personality ingame and outside the game as long as he doesnt get straight with all of that he has no chance in a good team edit: he was removed from every team not because hes bad at the game ^

figures, no other reason someone gets removed that quickly. don’t think it will stop some opportunistic roster from taking a shot on him tho

Well... Just look at smooya. Nobody was taking chances with him (apart from stand-in stints, and those were due to good passport)

i think that was because (in his own words) smooya was “too good for lower tiers, not good enough for tier 1”

2025-09-11 09:39

astrum was so peak i wished it stayed

BASELESS CLAIM ALARM

supposed personal issues.

2025-09-10 13:24

No? Both He And The Org Has Said It's Ingame Issues.

2025-09-10 14:02

"No? Both He And The Org Has Said It's Ingame Issues." read between the lines, no org will ever badmouth their player because they want to sell him. if you have a talented player, you are never going to give him up because of ingame issues, either he had a bad attitude or was just uncoachable. at least that's what I think. and I added a BASELESS CLAIM disclaimer, because it's not confirmed.

2025-09-10 14:06

That Is Not The Same As Personal Issues.

2025-09-10 14:07

"bad attitude or was just uncoachable." I meant to say personal issues with the team.

2025-09-10 14:08

Personal Issues Means Issues With Your Personal Life. Mental, Family, Etc. That Is What Other Players Recently Have Been Using The Term For.

2025-09-10 14:10

this

2025-09-10 14:26

His play style doesn't match other players/doesn't fit with team dynamics🤷🏻

2025-09-10 14:54

One of the biggest pitfalls ever, that team is in the hundreds man.

2025-09-10 13:07

Was done dirty by Heroic and 1 month later he's playing for LUL5, must hurt man

2025-09-10 13:11

done dirty? If you refuse to do your job and starting a fight due to it, then u get fired in any kind of work .... Annoying "spoiled" kid, this is a useful lesson for him.

2025-09-10 13:40

I don't have the insights of what actually happened but for a player to get kicked after 7 games, there has to be a lot of miscommunication and lack of will from the org (as well, I'm not saying he's an innocent teddy bear) to push the project in a right direction. It's not like I think this guy would do a generational fumble on the first big team with the first regular tier 1 pay of his career. But without facts I can only speculate.

2025-09-10 14:05

lack of will?? they bought him out and signed him.. he just was playing to aggressively for the teams style, heroic was likely hoping he would be willing to play more like sunpayus but he refused and here we are..

2025-09-10 14:28

If you are in an org that gives up in trying to mold their players after 7 games, you are ALSO (key word also) at fault. Anybody has to readjust their game when they join a new team with a new system and you are delusional if you think the top priotity of the team is to change how 4 players play so that the 1 new player can do the exact same he did in his previous team.

2025-09-10 16:05

yes thats what im saying exactly especially when alkarenn was/is available as well im guessing they prolly only got gr1ks bc of him and tn1r mutual wishes

2025-09-10 16:47

lol xD

2025-09-10 13:13

I'm shocked Legacy or Imperial didn't take him.

2025-09-10 13:45

more like mibr, that was like the perfect opportunity if anything

why imperial would downgrade? try carries that team, he must have back issues of all dead weight in that team

2025-09-10 14:21

try is a god and saadzin is decent enough

2025-09-10 15:53

Fineshine better

2025-09-10 13:46

bot

lmao rejected Furia and GL to play with his bro - end up in tier 4 alone

Graças a Deus ficamos com Molodoy

2025-09-10 14:12

God works in mysterious ways 🙏

2025-09-10 16:31

OMEGALUL DOWNFALL

The guy is probably the worst decision maker of CS history... What a downfall from hype to tier 4

2025-09-10 14:44

This is worse than the fall of Ax1le or Constantinople

2025-09-10 14:52

don't compare the fall of Constantinople to the decline of my glorious king Ax1LeGOD

2025-09-10 15:32

2025-09-10 15:59

molodoy is the truth

2025-09-10 16:48

@nnikolaS you were right i apologize.

2025-09-10 16:43

in what way

2025-09-10 17:59

you made a topic about gr1ks being bad, and i was like nah hes not bad give him a chance well turns out you were right

2025-09-10 18:23

thanks for recognizing it, but this goes beyond gr1ks the same very basic analysis told me that kursy will be ass and i got shit for that as well all it takes is one look at the stats to see "1.20" and "1.02 against top 50 (40 maps)"
