MLG Columbus 2016 Main Qualifier

MLG Columbus 2016 Main Qualifier

mOE ruled out of major qualifier

22/2/2016 - 12:22

Mohamad "mOE" Assad has announced that he will not be able to play for Team Liquid at the offline qualifier for MLG Columbus after all.

Mohamad "mOE" Assad did not reveal the reason behind this decision but noted that he will issue a statement during the day to shed more light on the matter.

But Liquid member Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski explained on Twitter that it is mOE's commitments to Echo Fox that will force him to miss out on the qualifier and on what could be the first major of his career.

If Liquid managed to qualify for MLG Columbus with mOE, the 29-year-old would not be able to play for Echo Fox in the qualifiers for the following major. This issue is bound to severely limit Liquid's options, with the qualifier due to start in just four days.

mOE decides against playing for Liquid in Columbus

One possibility is that Liquid field Eric "adreN" Hoag, who is still tied to the organisation despite not being on the starting roster anymore, as a replacement for Kenneth "koosta" Suen. The 19-year-old, who officially joined Liquid on Sunday, is ineligible to compete at the event after qualifying for it with Enemy.

Liquid have been drawn alongside mousesports, HellRaisers and Team YP for the group stage of the MLG Columbus qualifier, with their first match pitting them against Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow's side.

Sorry to say i will not be able to stand in for @TeamLiquidPro at the Major Qualifier. I will release a statement tomorrow with details.

I'm mg2 but I only play nuke

2016-02-22 12:48

Mg2, still better than Adren! Lol. I kid, I love AdreN, thinks hes got a great mind and should become Liquid's coach. He'd probably be much better at that than he is as a player now, he was a good source player but he's not been able to find the same level in CSGO.

2016-02-22 23:02

2016-02-22 12:27

It's not even Rick Fox's fault, it's the shit rules that Valve put in place when creating these Valve Minor tournaments.

2016-02-22 21:25

sad day for americas cs, only favela apes will be dominating now that NA's real final hope is ruled out

2016-02-22 12:26

m0e was NA's real final hope? xD

2016-02-22 12:35

It wasn't like a hope for a win ... More like a hope to survive

wtf is a echo fox?

2016-02-22 12:43

Looks like AdreN is back at least for a short period of time :D

2016-02-22 12:43

He doesn't want to play with them :>

2016-02-22 12:47

Understandable, he basically built this team in the start

2016-02-22 14:24

I blame him... 1st he sucks so bad 2nd he brought the guy that always want to change and has no respect to his teammates at all (hiko)

2016-02-22 17:52

There's a difference between not respecting teammates and wanting to remove teammates that are stubborn as fuck and are complete dog shit, a.k.a. n0thing back on C9.

2016-02-22 21:27

If n0thing is what you claim to be why didn't they other 3 enforce his removal? because hiko was stubborn not nothing :D

2016-02-23 04:38

Because back when tensions were high when Hiko was in the lineup, the rest of the players didn't want to remove n0thing, more specifically sg@res probably, because he figured the roles in the team fit his own calling style. Also, Hiko realized that the only person that was willing to put the effort in to becoming better was sean, so that's why he left in order to make a "super team" with Skadoodle, nitr0, adreN, and one of the other former ex-Denial/Liquid players.

2016-02-23 04:46

The other 3 knew that hiko would do the same to everyone of them if he had the power to, he is an asshole to everyone on any of his team nilihum was a decent team that rekt c9 he went in there made huge changes then left one month later. Semphis/sean at that time blamed hiko for swags departure, hiko only got mad at nothing because he was the one that announced it. At the time that hiko was asking for nothing to be removed there wasn't anyone available to replace him. They asked hiko specifically to give them one player that can do nothings role better than him, not that n0thing was that good but there were no available players at that time + n0thing was not going to get cut because one guy without any reason wants to cut him especially that he is the face of the csgo team.. he has been on many talk shows on tv/youtube..

2016-02-23 04:52

All that talk of Hiko bullying swag is bullshit, swag was only like 16 at the time so he was just being a little teenaged bitch. Regardless of Hiko's actions, all he's ever wanted to do was compete at the highest possible level because he knows that there is enough talent in NA for there to be a top 5 team. Also to piggy-back on my previous comment, the "super team" that Hiko and Skadoodle could have formed would have been those two, adreN, nitr0, and FugLy. Source: youtu.be/HDwJoX1u5T8?t=818 Edit: It wasn't even about trying to replace n0thing with someone better, it was about just completely getting rid of n0thing because he wouldn't ever put in enough effort

2016-02-23 04:58

oh wait, you're a hiko fagboy i rest my case..

2016-02-23 09:09

Oh wait, you're ignorant to the fact that n0thing is a horrible teammate. I rest my case..

2016-02-23 18:53

sure m8 everyone is a terrible teammate.. thats why wherever hiko is there is an unstable lineup. n0thing cloud9/swag coL. Nilihum he changed 2/3 members. Liquid he changed 2 members waiting for elige to get kicked next They are all horrible teammates, hiko is your guy. xD

2016-02-23 19:15

He wanted to remove n0thing for all of the aforementioned reasons. While Hiko was on Nihilum, the team never made a roster move at all so you should probably get your facts straight. The previous Nihilum lineup before Hiko and Semphis joined was flowsick, professor_chaos, valens, autimatic, and sancz. Flowsick and PC were removed and replaced by Hiko and Semphis in May of 2015 and that core 5 stayed together for a little over a month and then Hiko left. In Liquid, it was necessary to kick out FugLy because Hiko joined the team to play his main role as lurk, which was what FugLy was also doing, so kicking him made sense in a team standpoint. And do I even need to explain why adreN was kicked from Liquid? Also, why would EliGE be getting kicked from Liquid? I'd love to hear your shit reasoning for this one.

2016-02-23 19:56

didn't read tbh, because i know hiko fangays will keep making excuses for his rude behavior. elige is next mark my words.

2016-02-23 20:12

Okay, just shows how ignorant you are. Have a nice day.

2016-02-24 00:12

adreN* AdreN is the good player from Kazakstan. adreN is bad player from NA.

2016-02-22 14:43

nice copy pastarino from thooorin

2016-02-22 15:04

still true.

2016-02-22 15:39

He cant attend if Trump wins. Ripperino

2016-02-22 12:46

Echo Fox probably won't quality for shit, but he would be fucking up their "chances" if he plays for Liquid. rip NA :DD

2016-02-22 12:47

If m0e plays for TL in the MLG qualifier then he can't play for any other team for the next major qualifiers 3-4 months later? who invented this retarded rule... I can understand not being able to play qualifier/finals with different teams for the same major but different majors is bs

2016-02-22 12:49

Maybe because echo fox need play minors? I don't understand too

2016-02-22 14:07

It's all about the Valve minor for Echo.Fox. If Liquid fielded m0e for the Major Qualifier, then he wouldn't be able to attend the next NA Minor.

2016-02-22 21:29

but why? it's a stupid rule

2016-02-22 21:48

You're asking me why Valve implemented the rule? You'd have a better chance of unboxing two knives in a row than getting Valve to inform us on their reasoning of this rule.

2016-02-22 22:01

He realised that his hacks would get detected and decided to back out. Typical arab rat

2016-02-22 12:51

He realised that his hacks would get detected and decided to back out. ayyyy

2016-02-22 14:02

You should learn to respect your fellow arab countrymen.

2016-02-22 21:30

LOL REKT CUZ SWEDEN = ARAB COUNTRY NOW BOYS I GOT IT NOW ITS NOT FUNNY BECAUSE OF RAPE JK STILL FUNNY

2016-02-23 05:47

He lives in your country so you would know all about it.

2016-02-23 13:17

BOT Allu to replace him

2016-02-22 12:53

nope same for allu, if allu played with them and qualified he would be unable to play and try to qual with ence next major.

2016-02-22 12:56

Implying Ence would even make it through the EU Minor or even into the Major qualifier..

2016-02-22 21:30

go WarOwl

2016-02-22 12:54

Shame :/ Would've been fun to watch the matches :D

2016-02-22 12:55

Expected. This guy is not a good player anymore

2016-02-22 12:57

with Echo Fox, mOE won't even get through online qualification stage at the next major. And now he's passing an opportunity to get a real chance of actually playing in a major. Lol

2016-02-22 13:03

thats exactly what i thought aswell.

2016-02-22 13:06

yeah but then he is basically saying "fuck you" to his team. regardless if his team has a chance, it's still a dick move because of the stupid rule.

2016-02-22 13:24

But he couldn't play in the upcoming minor then, and that would hurt his team (and they couldn't compete for that Skrilla).

2016-02-22 17:19

witmer or ptr pls

2016-02-22 13:00

moe sticker would be the best

2016-02-22 13:00

This retarded ruling is ruining teams' opportunities to qualify. Valve, fix your shit (even tho that won't happen).

2016-02-22 13:11

Yeah, they'll probably get no player now, because every semi pro player wants to compete in the next minor...

2016-02-22 17:20

2016-02-22 13:29

Honestly. If I were him, I'd stand in for Liquid and leave EchoFox. Liquid has a chance to qualify, while EchoFox has no chance at all.

2016-02-22 14:03

I doubt they will play with adreN. I expect witmer, ptr, frod, roca, semphis, desi, or sancz. I've never bough player stickers before, but I would buy roca or witmer stickers.

2016-02-22 14:28

PLEASE USE MINIMOE THEN

2016-02-22 14:31

Hey mOE, if you reading this, I just wanna say good job. If you went for liquid you would be in a lose-lose situation. in case of bad performance: People can speculate you underperformed on purpose so you can still qualify with your own team. It's idiotic and dumb to think that, but hey...those kind of people exist In case you perform superb and qualify: You will betray your own team. Your credibility will be on the line and it's a dick move So +1 to you for making this decision. PS: m0E stickers would have been awesome tho

2016-02-22 14:33

he didn't make that decision idiot ..

2016-02-22 15:32

he did u retardolele. if he wanted to qualify to the next major (cologne) with EchoFox then he couldnt have played in this one with Liquid.

2016-02-22 15:34

what are you on about 'idiot'? He's a human isn't he? Afaik he's not a vegetable therefore he makes all his life choices himself. He could have chosen to play for liquid but didn't. Smart move.

2016-02-22 17:02

Liquid pick me plz

2016-02-22 14:37

Like echo fox is gonna qualify for next major hahahahahaha He had more chance with liquid

2016-02-22 14:37

RIP moe stickers

2016-02-22 14:52

nice, fuck him

2016-02-22 14:55

These fucking rules are dumb as hell lmao. They are anti-competition. Valve didn't like seeing new acquisitions like Allu and Jkaem doing well in their first major with a new team. They will almost certainly use adreN now.

2016-02-22 15:03

dream is over

2016-02-22 15:08

best news of the week, without that terrorist I can cheer for Liquid again :)

2016-02-22 15:17

echofox will probably replace mongolz since mongolz got their visa rejected.

2016-02-22 15:20

2016-02-22 15:27

cuz he is a fucking scum cheater

2016-02-22 15:31

2016-02-22 18:16

disappointing news

2016-02-22 18:19

They shouldn't have much problem at the qualifier, even with a weak stand-in. They'll probably storm through this group alongside Mouz.

echo fox is such garbage compared to the mongolz, oh well.

2016-02-22 20:32

lol what? its not like he's trying to join the cia, its just a fuckin counter strike game. What's up with all these tryhard rules? valve takes themselves too seriously

2016-02-22 21:18

Wasn't expecting Liquid to qualify either way.

2016-02-22 21:22

Who was moe filling in for?

2016-02-22 21:24

koosta. he had played in the minors or another qualifier for the event with Enemy so he couldn't participate with Liquid anymore.

2016-02-23 00:03

Lets koosta play for TL pls come on wtf why not :>

2016-02-23 00:07

It's a good rule tbh or else shitty teams who qualified for the event online would just pay better players to go to the LAN for them kind of like what TEAM YP is doing right now.

2016-02-23 01:06

Alright I see your point, but there should be a way to appeal stuff in general so for instance in this case there should be an exception

2016-02-23 14:47

This situation is really stupid cause Koosta already qualified for the offline qualifier with NME, I hate the rule itself but its completely necessary.

2016-02-23 18:55

Wtf m0e, this is probably the best chance you will ever have to play a major, just leave that shitty EchoFox Team and go play for Liquid.... Echofox is a SHIT anyways

2016-02-23 01:12
