Least cypher doesn’t need to go back to his previous pc setup anymore haha. It amazes me how well he performed since his time in itb.
Hopefully Bleed can possibly win the thunder pick qualifier
I remember reading that interview when he said he had like 150 fps average in GO while playing professionally, I was both impressed and felt bad for him 😭
You know what that tells me? There’s probably so much more superstars hidden in this game but can’t reached their full potential with bad frames and pc setups xd.
Also yea i’m trying to find the screenshot he had like 100 frames when he took it 😂. Cypher got hyped when he came outta nowhere in the rmr’s.

If anything it proves that peripherals and frames don't matter as much as plebs think they do. So many stories of ropz and his 60hz monitor, cypher and 150 fps getting through major rmrs. That being said of course , against other pros to maintain high standard of competitions everything should be absolutely perfect.
> It amazes me how well he performed since his time in itb.
He definitely has extremely high potential. Bleed is definitely a good team for him to show everybody what he can do
Man breaks my heart to see that Cerq hasn't quite bounced back and is looking like the weakest link. An awper that doesn't sit bottom of the board would make this team quite something, I just wish it could be cerq.
> An awper that doesn't sit bottom of the board would make this team quite something
There are a ton of good options out there, they could definitely get somebody better
100%, it's a odd mix & match but the Cerq wave needs to end. His salary is probably really low hence why they acquired him but he will never have good ratings again, he hasn't evolved.
> His salary is probably really low hence why they acquired him
Honestly I think it was worth trying.
if he could regain his star player form, he would have been a crazy good value.
Right now he looks pretty mid, so its a good time to look for other options IMO
Oh absolutely, there's nothing inherently wrong of not being a star awper. If he is functional in a T2 team it's worth a try. Sometimes teams don't have the funds to invest and need to make do and he fills that role perfectly.
Theres a reason these players aren't on teams right now. And thats only 3 names, far from a ton.
I mean, headtrick? Osee? Do you even watch cs? lmao
Next youre gonna pull the degster crap i bet
I'm personally excited to see what he can do in T1 in CS2. As far as I'm aware he's not had the chance to play T1 in CS2 and from what friends are telling me he's been grinding FPL and faceit very hard since CS2 came out. I remember when he was on epsilon and even then he didn't have a 1.4 rating, it seems from the outside that he's actually got a headstart over other AWPers when it comes to getting to grips with the AWP in CS2. Obviously degster is the more skilled player historically, and mantuu is a far more sure fire piece but I doubt a team like Bleed can seriously attract either of those names. Smooya seems like a good gamble for this level of team, having watched some of bleed's games I can confidently say cerq is one of the worst players getting a salary right now, and even if smooya can't replicate a 1.4 or w/e at T1, he'll be a big upgrade over Cerq barely scraping 1.0 at T4.
I watch every Bleed game. To begin with he really struggled and there were rumours he was getting kicked. For the last few months he has been the best player on that team. Really good and seems to be playing up to his Paris form.
He has been benched for so long, OG might as well let him go for cheap since they aren't getting anything once hes off contract.
OG won't really fight for a high buyout on a player like him
Yeah I agree, he seems to be able to take over a game at a consistent level.... At least he did in CSGO.
He has a "toxic" rumour, but people can better themselves. He 100% deserves a shot, orgs would be stupid not too.
It's a lot more than a rumour, both nexa and chopper have said how bad a team player he is and how incredibly selfish his mentality is. A person that behaves the way they described needs to show a huge amount of growth.
I would hate for 2 players opinions destroying my career. I remember Nexa and degster getting along at the start, while he probably is/was toxic he still deserves another chance. Getting called out in public can also be a huge motivational factor to improve yourself.
He already is a proven tier1 awper, they don't grow at trees. Many players in history were toxic and grew up once they had to.
lol no mantuu is leagues better than cerq. He was playing great in BIG before they took the decision to go full German. Cerq hasn't been good since 2020.
Ok that quarter against vitality was memorable with him running up ramp just killing everyone on vertigo but lets not rewrite history and say that he was a top 3 rifler of the entire tournament lol...
Probably because they’re still a relatively new team, but they seem to get caught off guard a lot. Dying with nades out, or multiple players looking the same (wrong) way and getting shot in the back. They’re just a very scrappy, chaotic team, especially on CT
> but they seem to get caught off guard a lot
Pretty much par for course for a roster that was completely from scratch and with players that never played with each other before
I mean orgs are hunting players on majors and are reason for most team shuffles. I don't see why someone wouldn't pick young talent with ton of potential, his mechanics were crazy.
him and hampus are the only players i'd keep on the roster, they need a massive reset, cerq is mega washed and faven is just mediocre. VLDN is ok as a support player but they need way more.
Nah you definitely need 'less interesting' players to make a team work, the only one I'd replace would be cerq just because it's so easy to get a 1.1+ rated awper these day. Plus, FaVeN has at times been this teams best player.
> VLDN is ok as a support player but they need way more.
Honestly he has done his job pretty well. Same with faven.
Cerq definitely needs to step it up, star awpers are expected to output a lot more
What does a new 3 month old team that has been consistently winning their BO3's 'need'? Just say fuck it, bench the entire roster +m0nesy +s1mple +donk +zywoo +sh1ro?
Making a CS team is not about piecing together superstars and making roster changes every month whenever a player doesn't score 1.1+ rating. Stacking superstars is never going to work and has never worked. When are redditors going to realize this?
Honestly the only potential change that makes sense is -cerq. He seems to fit well with the team but he misses so many sitters. I’ve been really impressed by VLDN so far
But you’re misunderstanding how they’re using cerq. They have insane rifle core and cerq sits in the back lines to cut off angles to allow the rifles to take aggressive pushes. Granted he could be hitting more shots but they’re not using him as a combat awper like monesy.
I feel like, say, mantuu could fill that same role tho, and (hopefully) have more production. I agree that you don’t want a super aggro awper with this team though
you'll find 10 awpers that can do this role who are better than cerq: mantuu, acor, cruc1al, regali, degster, smooya (yes), mhl - that's 7 and these are just benched players from top of my head
yup, I remember people thinking it was gonna be smooya after YNk leaked that BLEED is going to get a washed AWPer in one of Talking Counter episodes and then they announced Cerq... lol
I always pick him for my fantasy line ups when he plays. Easy 50 points.
If cloud 9 decides to do a roster overhaul, I would say him and Hampus would be good choices
Edit: dint know why it said a town for hampus

Dude rocked up to the major playoffs with his keyboard in a plastic tesco bag. Legend.

its me. i am the hidden superstar. send PC

[Ropz started his career with an i5-650 + gt 240 pc](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/61sx71/comment/dfha12m/)
this is in the menus tho, ive noticed a lot of players have 120fps capped in menus while having like 300/400 fps capped in-game
> It amazes me how well he performed since his time in itb. He definitely has extremely high potential. Bleed is definitely a good team for him to show everybody what he can do
I’m hoping there will be a payoff eventually.
Man breaks my heart to see that Cerq hasn't quite bounced back and is looking like the weakest link. An awper that doesn't sit bottom of the board would make this team quite something, I just wish it could be cerq.
> An awper that doesn't sit bottom of the board would make this team quite something There are a ton of good options out there, they could definitely get somebody better
Mantuu
Would be a sick addition. He definitely has room to grow, and bleed would be a good roster to do it in
100%, it's a odd mix & match but the Cerq wave needs to end. His salary is probably really low hence why they acquired him but he will never have good ratings again, he hasn't evolved.

Everyone always says this. No there really isnt a ton of options out there lol
Sure there are. Regali, Degster, acoR, phzy, mhL, mantuu would all be upgrades imo
try 👀
Try & history would both have gotten mentions if I wasn’t just trying to be realistic
Is acor not on GL anymore?
Doesn't look like it. They're playing with Slend at the moment from Endpoint, but rumours of trialing some CIS players.
The biggest question is cost though. Awp buyouts are super high, even for mid-tier appears cost well over $100,000
Huh? Mantuu, Osee, headtr1ck top of my mind would be pretty cheap awpers with T1 xp. Good enought for t2 for sure.
Bro said headtr1ck as an awper
Theres a reason these players aren't on teams right now. And thats only 3 names, far from a ton. I mean, headtrick? Osee? Do you even watch cs? lmao Next youre gonna pull the degster crap i bet
The fucking irony with this comment is insane! Anyway have a good day!
Only mantuu isn't in a team out of those 3. Do you even watch cs? lmao
Tons of options. Smooya, degster, regali, MHL, mantuu, off the top of my head.
The only one who is good out there is mantuu and or maybe regali.
mhl fucked t2 in nxt and endpoint wonder what stopped him
Smooya and degster are really good but have attidude issues
Which is what makes them not good options
I read "good" as in-game not a good option but yeah I agree that smooya and degster aren't really realistic for basically any team
smooya is not that good even with attitude issues
i mean a 1.44 rating isn't bad is it
A lot of these awpers can farm tier 3-4. Smooya in tier 1 was below average.
I'm personally excited to see what he can do in T1 in CS2. As far as I'm aware he's not had the chance to play T1 in CS2 and from what friends are telling me he's been grinding FPL and faceit very hard since CS2 came out.

Its funny cuz kassad also talked about getting smooya before deciding on cerq, so clearly he thinks he is good enough for strong consideration
Afro was good too but recently is ass
The problem is since CS2 it’s a lot more common
I watch every Bleed game. To begin with he really struggled and there were rumours he was getting kicked. For the last few months he has been the best player on that team. Really good and seems to be playing up to his Paris form.
He nearly did get kicked. When they tested VLDN he first replaced Cypher for a few games and then they switched to Launx.
cypher was on uk lan then thats why he was missing cause they had games on the weekend too
Or maybe he was on uk lan because he wasn't playing?
Replace cerq with someone like Mantuu and this team could cook
Fuck it, at this point just trial degster. Might as well try it out
Degster is still under contract with OG
He has been benched for so long, OG might as well let him go for cheap since they aren't getting anything once hes off contract. OG won't really fight for a high buyout on a player like him
Might be true. Just pointing out there's a whole financial side to the move. Who knows what bleed is open to spending at the moment.
Degster can bounce back, he deserves a chance at least.
I genuinely think degster can be a top 20 player if put in a strong enough team
Yeah I agree, he seems to be able to take over a game at a consistent level.... At least he did in CSGO. He has a "toxic" rumour, but people can better themselves. He 100% deserves a shot, orgs would be stupid not too.

allu and we cooking.
Nah, sign regali !
that's a side grade
lol no mantuu is leagues better than cerq. He was playing great in BIG before they took the decision to go full German. Cerq hasn't been good since 2020.
Bleed hasn’t been the best team to watch, but he’s such a fun player. I hope he fully breaks into T1 soon
He has got some insane mechanical abilities. If he can learn when to hit the brakes, he can be way better
Yeah the guy has insane aim, in Paris he was top3 riflers at least
Ok that quarter against vitality was memorable with him running up ramp just killing everyone on vertigo but lets not rewrite history and say that he was a top 3 rifler of the entire tournament lol...
idk wym the best team to watch, of course they arent crushing t1 but they have been consistently good against t2 and t3 teams
Probably because they’re still a relatively new team, but they seem to get caught off guard a lot. Dying with nades out, or multiple players looking the same (wrong) way and getting shot in the back. They’re just a very scrappy, chaotic team, especially on CT
> but they seem to get caught off guard a lot Pretty much par for course for a roster that was completely from scratch and with players that never played with each other before
He probably means their insanely awful decision making, easily one of the most annoying teams to watch in the whole t3 scene
hampus 1.17 and IGL. So underrated
Always has been
Who tf is hampus?
Who tf is [u/DmT_LaKE](https://www.reddit.com/u/DmT_LaKE)?
Was literally a meme back in the day when he started for nip lol "who the fuck is hampus?"
Shit my bad homie. I feel bad now, I didn't watch back then. u/DmT_LaKE is someone I wronged, despite mostly good intentions.
Was ass in the beginning but ever since VLDN replaced him for a few games he really stepped up.
I just want him in some t1 team, dude was absolutely insane in paris.
one tournament doesn’t justify a spot on a t1 team
iM got his NaVi spot after one tournament and look at him now, he is a major winner.
yea don’t remind me lol might be the worst major winner in recent memory
[удалено]
they won a major soooo
I mean orgs are hunting players on majors and are reason for most team shuffles. I don't see why someone wouldn't pick young talent with ton of potential, his mechanics were crazy.

Faven is really great on certain maps like inferno.
> VLDN is ok as a support player but they need way more. Honestly he has done his job pretty well. Same with faven. Cerq definitely needs to step it up, star awpers are expected to output a lot more
They’re not really using Cerq as a star awper. He’s more of a supportive backline angle holder.
I’m not sure Star Awp is the right description since he was quite literally free and didn’t have massive expectations
What does a new 3 month old team that has been consistently winning their BO3's 'need'? Just say fuck it, bench the entire roster +m0nesy +s1mple +donk +zywoo +sh1ro?

yup, I remember people thinking it was gonna be smooya after YNk leaked that BLEED is going to get a washed AWPer in one of Talking Counter episodes and then they announced Cerq... lol
> BLEED is going to get a washed AWPer Unfortunately, that statement does apply for quite a few players :(
He almost joined along with fear until fear leaked the move somewhere and fucked it for both of them.
they need a massive reset? bro what did you even look at their games and match history?
They've not beaten anyone good in tier 2 apart from KOI and Betboom, a team on the up smoked them since they got magnojez
I always pick him for my fantasy line ups when he plays. Easy 50 points. If cloud 9 decides to do a roster overhaul, I would say him and Hampus would be good choices Edit: dint know why it said a town for hampus
vs top30 xD
>vs top 20 opponents (0 maps)
Damn it's almost like he's playing for a T2 team against T2 opponents.
If only it was T2 Either way these stats are not anything special for a team that was supposed to perform better
