k1ck presents CS:GO lineup
By: Tgwri1s
Time: 2012-09-15 19:31
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Portuguese organization k1ck today presented its plans to switch from CS 1.6 to CS:GO. Only two players remain from the previous lineup, the country's star player Ricardo "fox" Pacheco and Christopher "mUttt" Fernandes, while two of the three new faces come from a CS:Source background.

Following the announcement by DreamHack Valencia organizers that their 5,000€ tournament would switch from CS 1.6 to CS:GO, Portuguese organization k1ck revealed today that they decided to do the same with their team.

k1ck were previously registered for DH Valencia's CS 1.6 tournament, but they remained on the list after the main title changed, which hinted that they will be another in the long line of organizations making the switch lately.

As they make the switch, they also part ways with three players. Longtime captain and in-game leader Hélder "coachi" Sancho will no longer be in the team, as well as Joaquim "axoN" Pinto and the most recent addition Ricardo "rmn" Oliveira.

On the bright side, k1ck held onto the country's star player Ricardo "fox" Pacheco and Christopher "mUttt" Fernandes. As many others that made the switch, they looked towards the CS:Source scene and brought in two players from Fragmasters Sapphire, Fábio "n3w" Teixeira and Mário "Fyx" Rodrigues. Completing the team is Frederico "iNsideR" Costa, who played CS 1.6 in madjick during recent times.


mUttt and fox stay in k1ck for CS:GO

Pacheco gave the following statement to the team's website regarding the switch:

"Today we have officially announced the change into CS:GO. As a part of this organization, I am grateful for the commitment and effort that the former players had towards the team, namely  coachi,  axon and  rmn, but we think that this CS / CSS mix is the best solution. Thank you all for supporting us for so long and I hope that you will keep rooting for the team."

k1ck's CS:GO lineup:

Ricardo "fox" Pacheco
Christopher "mUttt" Fernandes
Fábio "n3w" Teixeira
Mário "Fyx" Rodrigues
Frederico "iNsideR" Costa

These five players have already started playing together a few weeks ago, when they created a CS:GO mix named hAhA on ESL, but they didn't make it further than the 1/8 finals in the two Go4CS:GO cups they took part in since then.

Now with their full focus on the new game and DreamHack Valencia in sight, they will only have a few days to prepare, as the Spanish tournament will take place from September 21-23.

Nice fox and fyx are both beasts
2012-09-15 19:34:01
i think emotion should be in this line up, but GL with fyx and fox to ruinate!!
2012-09-15 19:35:56
me too hihi
2012-09-15 20:02:17
and axoN/rmn

axoN if he actually practices is on fox level.

Fyx is a beast too.

Why iNsider? He won't bring anything new to the team, unless he's the igl.

n3w? Can't talk about him, don't know him.
2012-09-16 15:50:43
He is a 1.6 oldschool, i think he got back to the game months ago, and was a beast in his prime times.
2012-09-16 16:45:46
n3w? For sure he isn't a 1.6 old school. He played Source.
2012-09-16 16:53:12
yes, he was in FM.sapphire i think (dont follow css) and he was one of the bests, makes sense to add him, since GO is a more CSSish game then 1.6ish
2012-09-16 18:41:45
he was talking about iNsideR fake chinese boy
2012-09-17 16:04:54

2012-09-17 12:33:35
biggest disappointment ever
2012-09-15 19:39:46
Gotta give it to the portuguese fanbois to keep them alive :) Guess the domestic scene is enought to keep an orga alive after not winning anything or even having a chance to do so across borders.

But if the fans enjoy they have done enough, which seems to be the case. Great commitment

So what if they don't win anything abroad? They've still won way over €10.000 in Portugal.

2012-09-16 21:03:09
never win anything in 1.6, they think they will do it in GO?
2012-09-15 21:05:29
fox , mUt and iNsideR from 1.6 but fyx and n3w are from cs:s
2012-09-15 23:50:21
skillwise this team will never be as good as fox , mutt , coachi , axon , rmn together and the game doesnt matter

From my country, just to tell you truth, at least 1000 of gamers (almost all) would retire rather than playing CS:GO. it matters or not but your loss, sry valve not your fault but still your fault CS:GO not the real deal, yet blizzard stills listens the community unlike you guys.

you polled 1000 gamers, almost all in your country, to see what they thought of csgo?

p.s. what country is so small that 1000 games is a majority?

Interesting to see so many source/1.6 hybrid teams

It's kind of sad to see so much hate directed towards GO when it's done what so many wanted for so long, a game to unite source and 1.6 players
2012-09-15 23:16:38
I think the main reason why people are upset, is because the game is so much more source like then 1.6. Since there were alot more 1.6 players then source, they shouldve brought the 1.6 gameplay with new graphics. IMOOOO

2012-09-16 02:03:02
iNsideR?!?! hahahahaha and he writes it exactly like our player (the greek one)
2012-09-16 01:55:37
didn't know greece had 1.6 and his pretty oldschool never saw them anywhere
2012-09-16 02:54:44
yes we had CS actually and we participate at tours since CPL oslo 2002 :)
2012-09-17 02:10:36

Overrated; way overrated in fact. foxj is probably the most overrated player I've seen. And he was very good in 1.5 but terrible in 1.6 just like HeatoN. Too bad my country never had a semi decent team. I don't think k1ck or former exotic even got more than 5 rounds on a top team and they would get owned so hard by so many unknown teams on international tournaments.
2012-09-16 02:26:22
"I don't think k1ck or former exotic even got more than 5 rounds on a top team"

Well you are wrong, sorry.

But yes, k1ck are overrated some times but they are not professional players so i can´t ask for much...

gl k1ck with this new project ;)
2012-09-16 02:38:52
By terrible in 1.6, you mean the best player in Portugal right?
2012-09-16 14:22:18
terrible in 1.6? lol u are so wrong, k1ck are def not top10, but still they dont have the same conditions as top teams have, they cant go to every tournament outdoors, they cant play with a decent ping against top teams online.
I doubt if Navi, fnatic, kerchnet, etc etc had the same conditions k1ck have, they wouldnt be better then k1ck
2012-09-16 16:49:14
The stupidity of some people here never fails to amaze me.
2012-09-17 04:21:26
Navi and so on.
are payed to play, k1ck have to work, they have got they \real life\, they have bills to pay , while navi are playin like 8\9 h per day.
k1ck are playing like 2\3, when there are some tournments , they might play a bit more .
they cant go to every tournment outside of PT, k1ck cant pay all tournments.
They go to train with top teams , and the diference of ping is to damn high.
so start thinking before , you write .
btw . you are PT , it was suposed to backup for k1ck , not to take them down , LOL

2012-09-16 13:11:45
Let's see what they're made of. The CS:S team was top1 in Portugal too, and I have no idea if those 2 players from CS:S play well. Don't like the fact that they brought iNsider, he may be an old school but he's not at the level the others are I think
2012-09-16 14:32:38
They were better in CSS than the others in 1.6, at least internationally.
2012-09-17 04:23:28
