freakazoid to stand-in at DH Austin

Ryan 'freakazoid' Abadir will stand-in for Splyce at DreamHack ZOWIE Open Austin due to Abraham 'abE' Fazli having other commitments during the $100,000 event.

Splyce were part of the three North American region teams (alongside Tempo Storm and NRG) invited to DreamHack Austin following the withdrawal of European outfits due to a busy event schedule.

However, due to the abrupt nature of the invite, it was revealed that Splyce player Abraham "⁠abE⁠" Fazli had already made vacation plans for that time period unbeknownst of the event and long before the team were invited.


freakazoid will don different apparel in Austin

As a result, Splyce have decided to attend the event with a stand-in in the form of Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir, who formerly played for Cloud9.

Known as a fearless entryfragger to some, and as a tormentor of teenagers to others, freakazoid parted ways with Cloud9 this month after being a part of that organisation since his return to competitive play in April 2015.

Splyce's roster at DreamHack Austin will be:

Canada David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford
United States Andrew "⁠Professor_Chaos⁠" Heintz
Canada Jason "⁠jasonR⁠" Ruchelski
United States Arya "⁠arya⁠" Hekmat
United States Ryan "⁠freakazoid⁠" Abadir (stand-in)

DreamHack ZOWIE Open Austin will run from May 6-8 at Austin's Convention Center and divvy up $100,000 in prize money while representing DreamHack's first event in North America.

Freak is barely playing CS anymore, but it's not like Splyce had chance anyway so it doesn't even matter in the end... well it's matter for Freak CS career. If he not going to show up in Austin - his CS days are most likely over, and because of those news I assume that Freak still cares and he wants to be a pro.

WTF !! i swear NA players are the most undedicated of all.. i mean they always got good excuses sure , but there is always excuses. this is probably the best oportunity this guy is ever gonna have to play on a big stage , thats why he dedicated 5000h of his life to be able to play it , and instead he prefer to go and get a tan on a random beach in the world do NAplayers even take cs seriously ? echofox always late for online matches ,some of them usex to stream too much , on the other hand rankS is barely played 5h hours a day , compared to double if not more in EU fpl .. another thing is they lack igl , but who's gonna take the extra time to sit down and watch demos ect..? nobody , thats boring and gay i prefer to frag and push smokes .. (bet thats what they think) talking about this agressive playstyle and pugging style that NA has and cost them so many tournaments for being undiciplined , ok so you know the problem so for any dedicated player it would be an easy fix , so one question , why the fuck do they keepmdoing it over and over again i could continue for hojrs pointing out NA mistakes , in the end who cares , NA scene feel like dysneyland on crack , nobody care what other think , they dont want to boring part of cs , AKA fix mistakes , create new strats , work on their positions ect.. and thats why they are succesful streamers , and since they make decent money doing this , i dont think NA ever have the drive to push themself to the limit to be the best .. i mean it got to hurt that brasilians got into your scene last year and are already better than you , hell soon the chinese scene might be better than NA ..thats right NA keep not listening to the critics , keep being undiciplined and being puggy so when you come to europe we can rekt you with pretty basic strats that our t1 teams would use against our t3 teams ..
