SK Gaming the new Real Madrid - fnatic the new Barcelona? Na`Vi better than ever?
2012-01-31 22:05
Hello guys!

Lidda here with another blog and a new upgraded nickname :-)

Some people may know me cuz I'm very active here on HLTV.org and I've done some blogs here and there before..

Now let's get to the point.

There has been going on some changes in the top teams this month and I'm writing this blog with some inspiration from roman's blog so thank you roman'!

I'm going to discuss about 3 things in this blog.

First.
As we all know Na`Vi has done some changes in the team for IEM Kiev using starix as the IGL while giving Zeus the role as a madfragger(?). I was pretty sceptic to this change even if starix never reached his true potential in 2011. I still thought it would be a bad move using him as the IGL because I thought it would be hard for him being the IGL and being the 2nd AWPer like he was and still amazingly is. In my opinion Zeus was the best player that could be the IGL and frag much and I thought they should've kept him having that roll.

The tournament is over and I'm still shocked by Na`Vi's performance at IEM Kiev, in a positive way though. I would never, ever think that Zeus had the capacity to be such of a madfragger like he was at IEM Kiev and it was a both shocking and amazing thing to see. The fact that he could frag that much and dominate so much was just so shocking to me and that starix could be the IGL and still 2nd AWP. With one hand down and the other one on my heart, I have to admit and have to say that he deserved the M.V.P Award without a freakin' doubt because he was AMAZING.

Second.
I think that the whole community was shocked about the news that pita would retire not just from fnatic but from CS 1.6 entirely. I think that it was a wake-up call for pita when he first got kicked last year. He mentioned something about a secret, I still don't know what it is but he improved his game dramatically. He kept his spots excellent, had important frags and just fragged like never before. Then we have IEM Kiev. I think everyone except the haters and fanboys know that players can't perform their best and live up to their expectations ALL THE TIME. It's impossible. Friis had a bad tournament, Delpan had a bad tournament(I'll talk about that later) and so did pita. There have been some rumours that fnatic did kick pita and that the "I'm gonna retire" story is just a cover-up. From what I've seen from pita for the time I've been following him in the scene, I don't think he would go with that "I'm gonna retire" story if he really did kick because from what I've seen, he's not that type of a person. So good luck to pita and the future and I hope he can some day find the motivation to make a comeback and entertain us once again.

Soon after pita's departure there were speculations about who would join fnatic. Many said MODDII and others said trace. As we all know, MODDII was the fifth one.

I think MODDII is a top 3 class aimer and one of the best players in the world. His form has been pretty damn good these last matches he played with Lions. I believe in this fnatic line-up and if Gux and Xizt continue to play like they did at IEM KIEV, and if Friis play like he did at DHW11, we might have a top 1 team ladies and gentlemen.
This move was IMO better for fnatic than bringing in trace.
1. I believe that MODDII can perform as good as trace, he might not bring as much as trace to the table but he can perform as good as trace in the areas where he really is one of the best in.
2. He speaks Danish and Swedish which means he doesn't have to worry about the communication with Friis.

Nice to see MODDII playing for a team where he has players that can match his skill, I think it's going to be very, very interesting now.

Third.
Today shocking news struck us AGAIN. Trace joins SK Gaming while Delpan got kicked. This is probably one of the biggest "transfers" in the CS 1.6 history.
If the reason behind this move(kicking Delpan) was because he played poor at IEM KIEV then I think SK are sooo stupid. What? Just cuz Delpan didn't have a good tournament he has to be kicked? Great! Now kick Friis because he played less better than Delpan and they are both top 3 best players with the AWP. There has to be more things involved concerning this move because I don't think Delpan was the weakest link at all, just look how much they accomplished when he joined. SK is becoming the new Real Madrid in football which I totally hate, I was even controversial about their move when they stole Delpan from fnatic.

About trace. There's not much to say, one of the best players in the world not just today but overall. He's one of the most complete players if not the most complete player in the world. The thing I'm concerned about is how long it's going to take for them to adapt to him not speaking Swedish so good. I think Delpan's a better AWPer than trace for sure and it's going to be interesting to see how trace is going to AWP, I mean, we saw how freakin' good he can be when he doesn't play as an AWPer when mTw had Sunde. Then when he took over the AWP roll after Sunde he didn't play as good as he did when he was AWPing. I think it would've been smarter to switch trace with face if they were going to switch any of the players. face is probably the mest support player in the world but I think bringing trace in for face and keeping Delpan as the AWPer and let trace be the madfragger he is would be a better choice for SK.

This move makes me sick and it's not just because of me being a fan of Delpan. It's because they didn't have any reason to kick him, or maybe they had, but if it was because of him playing poor at IEM Kiev, wow, then what the hell, kick face too because he played more bad. They are like the Real Madrid in football, they bring in all the best players or players that are playing good right now. They had a perfect line-up with Delpan and I think doing this change is going to f*ck it up for them.

Delpan maybe was unmotivated but what do you do when a player is unmotivated? You talk to him, ask him what YOU CAN DO to make him feel more motivated or to raise his motivation. The SK management isn't the nicest one as we all know. When a player isn't motivated and it effects his game you talk to him, tell him "What's up?". Him being kicked just tells me that they DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR HIM, IF THEY CAN HELP HIM IN SOME WAY. If Delpan felt that he couldn't play as good because of his unmotivation, he would've left but he didn't, maybe it was because he still felt that something could trigger him to get that motivation back. It's like the pita case, he felt that he didn't have motivation so he left, he didn't get kicked.

It just seems like SK is like Real Madrid, they bring in all the best players to their team and think that they will perform the best because of that. Just look at the changes they've made through out their history. To me, fnatic seems like Barcelona, taking in new players that never had a chance to compete for the big titles and making them to top players. They really think before doing something, they look what they need for their team, what kind of player they need. SK just brings in top players and trust me, NEO, f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, trace and markeloff in one team would be a BAD, BAD line-up.

Last but not least, I think 2012 will be a CRAZY year with all the new line-ups and tournaments. I think CS 1.6 has more years to go before dying. Who knows, maybe Delpan and pita form some kind of ex-MYM team? It isn't impossible.

Thanks for reading,
lidda.
All three teams are awesome.. can't wait for IEM WC.
Great blog, gj.

Let's hope for the best!
2012-02-01 08:34:48
+1 Good one, kicking is not the solution, probably fighting the problem by helping out delpan should have done the job like u said ! Good read
2012-02-01 10:24:10
he was unmotivated... what can u do?

trace is way more consistent than delpan with all of the weapons, its more usefull since u have trace with a colt/ak on nuke ;).
2012-02-01 12:46:00
I dono maybe u r right, but i thought if a player is unmotivated he would retire as he knows when to call it quit .

If SK is the new real madrid, and fnatic the new barcelona. Na'Vi is the new Boca Juniors.

i didnt read the blog at all but "SK Gaming the new Real Madrid - fnatic the new Barcelona? Na`Vi better than ever?" has no sense at all
2012-01-31 22:12:46
Tell me why not?
2012-01-31 22:14:54
well if you watch football ul know why...
2012-01-31 22:21:49
I watch football. Now tell me why the name of the blog makes no sense at all? Come with a real argument.
2012-01-31 22:23:45
SK = Real maybe correct
but Barcelona = fnatic not a chance...think again why
2012-01-31 22:26:43
Delpan, pita and manne never played for a real top team, neither did manne and fnatic took them to their team to give them a chance. Same thing with GeT_RiGhT, he had a bad period in SK-Gaming and got kicked so he joined fnatic where he became the best player in the world. f0rest played in Begrip which is a team that has produced many Swedish talents today. Fnatic gave him the chance and look at him today.
2012-01-31 22:29:28
barcalona are cheaters.. fnatic doesn't cheat! y must not know much about football
2012-01-31 22:45:46

I agree with u.... Barcelona is a team built on years n years of trust developed by playing together and have become almost undefeatable... Impossible to compare a CS team like fnatic to Barcelona <3
2012-02-03 22:13:02
sounds like barca did what ancient greeks did in sparta... loving each other's backsides...
2012-02-04 19:23:48
cuz its stupid to compare CS with football?...doesnt make any sense..
2012-02-01 10:27:54
Did I ever compare them?

fnatic is far away to be the new Barcelona, except you mean Barcelona from 2000/2004 years.

Na`Vi showed an impressive performance and I'm not surprised by how zeus played the last tournament. He showed a great aim when he was IGL.

When someone is unmotivated, depends of the reasons behind to make him happier or not. I think Delpan doesn't want to play anymore and he was forced by contract to do it. When someone lost the motivation to play, its hard to change his mind.

I think this change will change SK playstyle. They changed earlier with the addition of Delpan, with a more AWP-based team. I think they will be back at their previous style, with a part-time AWP, shared by trace and f0rest.
2012-01-31 22:13:59
i think that this team will be much more like fnatic09,T side pretty much no AWP,and ct side RobbaN or f0rest awping!imo
2012-02-01 01:38:00
Finally a wise comment about the SK case.
2012-02-01 22:25:54
I think.

SK = Barcelona

fnatic = Real Madrid

Because, SK > fnatic in the last matches.


Football = CS? never.
2012-01-31 22:17:25
It has nothing to do with their performance.
2012-01-31 22:21:36

2012-01-31 22:21:12
I read it all, and I have to agree with everything. This year is going to be epic, maybe it can make a ¿comeback? of 1.6 in prizes and sponsors stuff.
About fnatic, when cArn has skilled players, his strats and style are almost perfect, so if MODDII plays as good as he been playing last year, fnatic top 1 this year.
2012-01-31 22:21:35

sry but yo ucan compare soccer with cs like that, and by the way delpan was unmotivated and thats make him a bad player for the team, soo i dont think your right
2012-01-31 22:58:18
Read my part about Delpan first.
2012-02-01 08:43:20
He is not, hes just convinced he knows everything about SK organization and the way they acted to delpan. Nothing more than a butthurtted delpan fanboy, if you read all his comments youll understand what im saying ;)
2012-02-01 22:28:40

2012-02-07 11:02:35
nice read although i dont agree with you about delpan, youre being too protective. he had no motivation which means he doesnt want to spend a lot of time with cs which is bad for the team
2012-01-31 23:05:19
I don't follow football, so i don't know what you mean with Real madrid and Barcelona.
2012-01-31 23:09:46
Real Madrid buy all the best players available. So does SK Gaming(f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, Delpan and now trace). Barcelona buy players that are needed for the team not just because they are the best. So does fnatic, they bring in players that are needed for the team and make them into top players.
2012-02-01 08:45:23
yeah. like manne.

lol sorry but I agree on most of your points though
2012-02-01 12:33:49
At least they gave him a chance when no one else did..
2012-02-01 18:44:19
that is true, but you said "they bring in players that are needed for the team and make them into top players."

Anyway just let it go, just found it ironic, but as stated before, I still agree on most of your points
2012-02-01 22:29:37
delpan, xizt, pita, GTR, f0rest, gux?
2012-02-05 03:52:21
wow you really don't get the point at all.
2012-02-05 04:14:39
No, you are the one who doesnt get the point. what were these players i mentioned before joining fnatic? thats right, mid skill players. after they left or about some time they converted into top players and one of the best in the world. Thats what fnatic does :) manne was the only one who could make such an impact but he had few time and carn kicked him not because of skill but because of his personality. ;)
2012-02-05 16:28:23
no you do not get the point, obviously. This was never about them, and I clearly stated that I knew about them I just trolled him becuase manne was one, if not the only exmaple, of the exact opposite.
2012-02-05 21:16:11
It was the only..
2012-02-05 21:27:24
and I just said that
2012-02-06 12:00:35
;)
2012-02-06 14:40:43
manne was like hleb or that shitty defender they paid off for it,don't even remember his name :p,shit happens in barça too ^^
2012-02-02 10:59:55
of course, and I don't blame them, but I just felt like commenting on it :-)
2012-02-02 11:10:19
oh yeah..and trace move to sk, was like a transfer on a deadline day...do not think, CS will gain as much popularity as football...if only they won't have 2in1 championships ;)
2012-01-31 23:14:20
I don't know why zeus' performance shocked you cuz he was madfragger together with edward in previous teams. When they created navi a lot of people were sceptical about him being igl but he got experience from best CIS igls (kane and lex :D) and shocked them. And now he got back to fragging. :)
2012-01-31 23:15:05
Why Real Madrid , I would say Manchester Shitty.

don't forget neo! he still the best and he will continue to win tournaments
2012-02-01 00:54:32
delpan lost motivation to play. it's really good reasont to kick player. and he lost his skills when he stopped been motivated.

there is no reason to kick face. everybody in the team loves him. he speak danish, he is really good defender, he does usually dirty jobs in-game + he does his job, he praccs a lot according to GTR he still plays gathers little bit + pracctice wars.

2012-02-01 01:07:16
You can't lose your skill just cuz you're unmotivated. He was unmotivated but when a player is unmotivated you do everything you can that could help him, SK didn't do that.

face is a good player but so is Delpan? And face didn't perform good either like Delpan.
2012-02-01 08:53:58
Sometimes when you are unmotivated, along with your performance level you bring another things to your team. For example, if you don't want to play, when you have to, you will have your entire team focused on the games when you're such a bored guy, playing like it was a gather, and that can make your teammates get mad at you, because they're seen someone who is not delivering his 100% while you are playing your best. So, this is called bad chemistry.

We don't know what SK has done, maybe they tried it and delpan said to them that there were nothing they could do. Or maybe they didn't try anything, because trace as free agent is a chance that maybe wont happen again and SK didn't want to let any other team to catch him.

I think SK is Barcelona because in this last time has played much better than fnatic

2012-02-01 02:22:19
Nice read, I'm agree with you in general.
2012-02-01 02:39:35
I dont agree with you about trace awp. When trace replaced sunde with awp, he played like always, he was a monster in every single map and always had a good performances. For me SK didnt needed changes, but with trace, well, they will be the best team in 2012 for sure.
For me
SK >>>>>>>>>> FNATIC >= NAVI > ESC
2012-02-01 02:40:24
its very entertaining when u say "SK >>>>>>>>>> FNATIC >= NAVI > ESC" despite the fact that they were the number 1 team of 2011,AND WE HAVENT SEEN THEM PLAY FOR 2012(yes,im talking about esc)

oh boi
2012-02-02 02:32:37
NEO, f0rest, GeT_RiGhT, trace and markeloff in one team would be a BAD, BAD line-up. realyyy hahahahahahahhah nic said

2012-02-01 03:50:28
we can't judge anything for now sir,

but i agree wih you... delpan for trace is just stupid... i agree with face thing...

and pita not kicked, because they don't have any reliable reason for that at the first place...
2012-02-01 04:00:46

Na`Vi(don't change line-up,but change an igl & still top of world),SK(change this,and have a new motivation),fnatic(the same),ESC(almost like Na`Vi still top without any changing)

I don't get it. You say you hate SK for changing players so much and still you're good with kicking face instead of Delpan. You must be stupid if you think that organisation says "Delpan low stats,pick up trace" and everyone in team just accept it. Organisation can say only "bad results,do something",then the team talks about what to change and obviously they changed Delpan since he lost some motivation and started working.
2012-02-01 12:58:37
then why when walle tried to go back in the game theslash cut him ?
2012-02-02 02:36:05
Like I said. I think the line-up(forp, gtr, face, robban and delpan) should be like it was and they never should've changed any player. But everyone blames Delpan for all the bad results and in my opinion it was because of him but also because of face. Delpan never got the credit he deserved in his time with SK. They are overlooking what he accomplished just because he trolls etc.
2012-02-02 08:33:54
1st , thanks lidda for this blog :)
I'm totally agree with what's write in it.
I was a fan of SK but step by step they lose all my respect :)
They had no reason to kick Delpan and add trace!
I hope delpan and pita found a new team :) and kick SK ass :)
Good luck pita,delpan , great players
Trace's swedish is not the best , i want to see now the REAL SK!
Gl fnatic and esc !

2012-02-01 18:57:55
lamest blog i've ever read so far in my entire life.

who knw that it was gtr f0rest and robban idea to swap Delpan for trace since he wasnt motivated enough. You're blaming sk'org
2012-02-01 13:27:24
+1, hes totally clueless. Just a butthurtted delpan fanboy.
2012-02-01 22:31:36
damn I'm soo sick and I had a terrible headache reading your big blog -_-

well , here I am...done it.

Ye I kinda agree on everything you said , but personally , even if I'm a SK hater , I'm happy Delpan got kicked and trace joined. Cause Delpan isn't the nicest person he is like Mourinho arrogant little f**ker , probably besides his motivation lack , there was some personal issues that weren't exposed to the public.

Cheers.

2012-02-01 15:48:40
Man, just cuz he trolls it doesn't mean he deserves to be kicked. Then they should kick TaZ too in ESC..

nah he doesn't troll so much , but i bet he is an asshole in private :D
2012-02-01 18:54:58
u dont get it baddie,cs is NOT football,the only thing sk as an ORGA needs is fucking advertisement,
for the sponsores etc.

WHEN U HAVE A SHITY DICKHEAD ASSHOLE LIKE THIS ONE,well yes,IT IS A FACTOR,

well , forest and robban are in the scene like forever,and delpan,a 2 year old "pro player" with cheating past in an interview about theyre win go out and tells that he "hit his shots"

he is not a troll like taz ,or at least,he is NOT A TROLL,he went to far ,its not only trolling,its ego,its stupidity,and many more things that YES,THEY AFFECT the relationship you have with the TEAM,AND THE ORGA.

walle was underperforming for 1+ years untill he got kicked(retired w/e)why do u think they kept him?BECAUSE HE WAS WALLE,famous awper ,oldschool,AND NOT A FUCKTARD.

if u remember i was saying that delpan days are counted when he started acting like this,and every sweedish fanboy was saying that im jealous and bla bla,well now it happened,he got what he DESERVED.

I never compared CS and football on how good the teams are just how they act because it's very similar.

Delpan may seem like a dickhead sometimes and I can agree but I think it's more confidence.

And why do you bring up the cheating thing? It was so long ago. Many pro players used cheat before. Delpan never took credit for a win, he just said that he hit his shots so what? Maybe he did?

I don't think he is the same person when he's with the SK players and like he's here on HLTV.org.

They kicked Delpan because he wasn't motivated enough in the end and I get that, but they never tryied to help him in any way. Why wasn't he motivated? What could they do?
2012-02-02 08:30:08

Give young players a chance and don't just steal players in such an unprofessional way.
2012-02-01 18:48:14
What unprofessional way? You're talking about Delpan last year? Yes it was a little infected, but unprofessional? I think not.

Also, why would they give young players a chance? They wanna be number 1. They want the best players possible. If they're going to give young players a chance, they won't be a top team. Once again, this isn't sports.

2012-02-01 22:33:15
It was unprofessional because they never told the fnatic organization anything about it. They have to contact the organization first to see what they think and want to do about the situation.

They can give young people a chance because it can pay off. Like fnatic did with Xizt, pita and Friis. They never played in a top team, sometimes you have to go for it even if the chance is not the highest that it will succeed.

-walle
-RobbaN
-Tentpole
-zet

Actually you're clearly being a SK hater, and when people try to argue with you, you simply don't listen.

First of all, in football it's pretty much easier to give chance to young players than in CS, cause a football team consists of 11 players, and you can replace a player whenever you want.

In CS, if you have 1 rookie player, it's 1/5 of the team. In football, it would be 2/10 (think about 2 rookies in Barcelona playing against RM). Or if in CS you have 2 rookies, it would be 4/10 in football, think about it.

I follow football since I was 6 years old, and I've been following CS in the past 10 years as well. With my little experience in both, I prefer to have trace, gtr and f0rest than having manne, moddii and xizt. But in football, I prefer to have Neymar, Ganso and Lucas than having many many others experienced players.

Barcelona has nothing to do with fnatic, cause fnatic does not teach his rookies how to play, does not follow them from the bottom of their career, they take Lions players for example, who are already very skilled players and also have a little experience. And more, fnatic is not the best team in the world. When they tried to take manne, who did not have a little experience like pita or moddii, they were not able to succeed.

Your comparison is only successful about the football pride, cause yes, SK would be RM, but that's it.

I appreciate your blog, but you have to appreciate people's opinions too.
2012-02-02 14:04:14
I appreciate people's opinion and the reason I made the blog is so I can show my opinion and so I can read others opinion.

All I'm saying is, when it starts getting bad for SK and when a player isn't playing so good they kick him and do everything and even do it dirty just so they could steal top players from other teams, this with trace wasn't the case though.

fnatic take decent players and transform them to top players in the world. All SK has done is to steal top players from top teams, and of course people want to play for SK, it's one of the best organizations ever. They kick players that play for SK and have a bad time and suddenly when it's going good for the player that they kicked, they want him back. GTR got kicked, fnatic made him to a top player then SK took him back. SK used Delpan as a stand-in, they never wanted to have him as player in their line-up and when he started to play good in fnatic they suddenly wanted him back.

By the way, I'm not a SK hater and never have been. I'm a ceh9 hater if you wonder who I don't like.

That 3 teams are all GooD. But in my heart just Sk and Na'Vi
2012-02-04 23:24:33
I find it very rough that navi is the best team forever, SK and ESC are teams with tremendous career if not those who have been playing longer, I think navi like everyone is going through their "best years" Sk as ever step on their own and ESC for theirs, or as well mTw, but every team goes through bad years and navi has not yet had their own, clearly 2011 was a lousy year for navi, but they are a young team with a career in freshly home so you do not have the years wear sk or sc, but I wonder navi winning all yield as 2010 between now and the next 12 years? are realistic and do not think fans as children but as real people objective.
2012-02-04 23:54:52
I'll like to remind you that ESC was the best team last year, despite NaVi going through their besy years.
2012-02-05 01:10:41
I would like to remind you that never mension otherwise, but clearly despite winning the WCG was not the best year or for ESC and not for NAVI, if it was for SK

nice blog : ) n really am sad sad about the happened of pita n DELPAN , and am with u that they dnt have any right to remove DELPAN from SK if he played poor in IEM kiev cuz they really would not win any tourney without him 100% ...
BUT i wana say something about TRACE n wish u can understand me :) TRACE is f*** good player and mix of AWP n Rifle , n i thnk what what SK want , why ? i think that TRACE will help them when he being AWPER and in the same time when they made aFORCEBUY , in the forceBUY it's hard 4 delpan to do sumthing but TRACE can get 3 frags by famas : ) n believe me SK will do sumthing amazing in the next tourney BUT NOT IN ALL MAPS , i think we will miss their playing in sum maps : )
