USSR replace MNR with Fly

7-4-2011 22:37

The Russian powerhouse USSR has adjusted it's roster by bringing in Alan "Fly" Temirov to replace the out going Nikolay "MNR" Kirpichev.

It appears as though Nikolay "MNR" Kirpichev has recently secured a new high paying job, and along with his university commitments is unable to play enough to keep his spot in the team.

This put USSR on the hunt for a new fifth, in which they picked Alan "Fly" Temirov, who recently joined up with tao, as their new addition.

"MNR told us that hes got a opportunity to get a job with a good salary and also hes studying in university so he doesnt have time for professional counter-strike anymore, we decided to pick Fly, whos been playing for USSR and IronWill before, hes really a nice guy and i hope we will do really good together in USSR." Dmitriy "hooch" Bogdanov told HLTV.org.

With this lineup change complete, the newly formed tao team lead by Anton "mash" Petrov is down to just four players.

USSR now has the following lineup:

Russia Roman "h4cker" Abramov
Russia Dmitriy "hooch" Bogdanov
Russia Michael "evil" Garanin
Russia Vadim "micE" Zimin
Russia Alan "Fly" Temirov

The Russian team aim at ASUS Spring in May as their next tournament, likely to be the debut for Temirov.

doesn't really make sense considering MNR's in his best form in his career, i believe? he's at least reached the top level in cs and become a big name.

it depends, he has the chance to go to university and have a really well paying job, which would probably last a lifetime or play cs for a few years and the job might not be available then. Sometimes you have to think for the future. It's funny, when i had a really well paying job, i would of traded it all to play pro cs around the world. I guess once you get there, it's not as exciting.

well, russian cs being what it is i fully understand his decision. it probably would have done that even if they were top1 in the world since education always comes first, but yeah. life as a progamer can be pretty great, but only lasts a few years. then what? not everybody got the right tools to keep themselves in the esport scene and even if they do, the salaries are most often low.
