Liquid to sign Pimp - Report

13-6-2016 19:09

Team Liquid will sign Jacob "Pimp" Winneche from SK Gaming, according to a report from ESPN.

Liquid have been depleted to a four-man roster after parting ways with Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag, with Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev having agreed to fill in for the team for their next two events, the ECS Season 1 finals and ESL One Cologne.

The North American organisation revealed at the time that they had already found a new fifth player, who, due to unspecified reasons, would not be able to play for the team until after the Major.

Pimp is reportedly poised to join Liquid

And according to a report from ESPN, Liquid's new player is Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche, who was recently in North America competing in ELEAGUE, in which SK Gaming finished third in their group.

This is not the first time that Pimp has been linked with a move to North America. Back in December, he revealed that he declined an offer to play in the region, citing "unsureness with moving to a new continent" and unwillingness to play with a roster that was not established.

If confirmed, the move will leave Liquid with:

Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin
Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski
Nick "⁠nitr0⁠" Cannella
Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen
Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche

Pimp NA saviour!

idk man, they always cry when someone points out something they did wrong. Pimp will do that

2016-06-13 19:13

simple prob was worse than pimp though, no? if simple could make it work, pimp will

true, but could they really made it work?? Dunno if they would keep him in the long run. Guess we'll have to wait and see

2016-06-13 19:16

They need an eu player to smack em around. Pimp was super consistent back in dignitas before the team decided he should pick up the fucking awp. Worst decision evvvvverrrrr

2016-06-13 19:43

yup, and with koosta on the team that won't happen ever so all is good. Pimp will be a fine addiction to this team if they manage to use him efficiently.

2016-06-13 19:47

Did you see his face ? A temper or no temper it would be easy solved.

2016-06-13 19:20

lol

yee_lmao1 predicted it. easy.

Not fully yet, he said JDM will play for Liquid in the major. Waiting.

2016-06-13 19:17

Yeah but in this post they didnt say that Pimp will be playing :))

Hopefully.

2016-06-13 20:06

That would be sick

UNEXPECTED

WAOW

hi mom

ыgfdgdfg

Unexpected.

Ye i would have no idea if i did not see richard lewis tweet when sk lost against clg in eleague

Like wtf, so unexpected

Makes sense though he never gave up in that clg match and almost carried his team to comeback

wat

damn

LMAO

RIP s1mple

WOW RIP PIMP'S CAREER

So? Koosta will still be main awp. Pimp is a good enough awper for secondary anyways

what

yee_lmao1 is a time traveler

yea

Hmmm... very interesting!

rip Liquid [*]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

wut ? gotta say im surprised

guat

unexpected

LUL

I predicted this month's ago when S1mple left. Obvious choice

WUT

I don't want to believe this #SK_SOMEDAY

is that means s1mple not gonna play ?

he still will play the major and ECS.

p1mple

Good pick.

First

Didnt he participate in the EU Minor, making him ineligible for the Cologne Major.

Simple will play cologne major. Pimp joins after major.

Where does that info come from?

Liquid have been depleted to a four-man roster after parting ways with Eric "adreN" Hoag, with Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev having agreed to fill in for the team for their next two events, the ECS Season 1 finals and ESL One Cologne It says it in the thread man

My b, thx man

s1mple plays in COlogneo

s1mple will play at the major

Anybody have a link to S1mple playing in major news, twitter or hltv? I must have missed it.

twitter.com/s1mpleO/status/7399538938918..

2016-06-13 19:32

S1mple is playing ECS and Cologne with LQD

u wot m8 ?

Stupid

Now gift Magiskb0Y to dignitas instad of tenzki - and everything will be fine.

+1 and -msl +acilion and msl coach

2016-06-13 19:36

I'm not sure about Acillion. If Nille is unbanned - I'd pick him.

2016-06-13 21:28

Acillion was pretty good when he wasnt the igl

It was like a year ago or so. And nobody knows if he can come back to his good level. Ofc you can say the same about Nille :-) Btw, they can pick Friis - they don't have a dedicated AWPer, which makes cajunb take the awp everytime.

2016-06-14 10:30

YEE_LMAO1 WAS RIGHT

Amerimark refugee wow vote trump

WOW

Glaive to SK trust me

liquid so retarded! instead of improving individually and as a team they just buy in players. gg retards you deserve to go out in groups

But they need a 5th because Adren's contract ended? Why wouldn't you pick up a better 5th instead of resigning adren when they have nitro as a 2nd awp, and peacemaker calling, good pickup.

the current players aren't very consistent are they?

But they can still improve individually with their new 5th? I Dont understand your argument

2016-06-13 19:27

did they get better with koosta?

2016-06-13 19:28

6 replies

No but you said individually, I really understand your point

2016-06-13 19:29

individually they will be arse and as a team they will be arse no matther how many players they buy in

2016-06-13 19:31

So wtf is your point lol? They should keep the same shitty players when they dont turn up ever in big games?

2016-06-13 19:46

But why would they put AdreN on a 2nd contract when they have two awpers and an IGL already? They want a better rifle? Clearly there isn't just a lack of logic in NA, but Estonia too lol

2016-06-13 20:01

are you shitting me? how long do they need to keep the same 5 man roster that didnt improve at all in 1 year or so and sucked dick in almost every tournament they went in and were even struggling against NA teams

2016-06-13 20:04

U want them to be clg ? suck ass for like 2 years ?

ezzzzzzzzzzz pimp

Well. Not expected.

imagine pimp + p1mple

Good luck pimp stich, as much as you seem to hate Yee_lmao1, he was right this time

You inferred "as much as I seem to hate him" from one Tweet? that's an interesting mode of logic you have there

I don't see how I could infer that you liked his attitude, I dislike it for one. But yeah, I went overboard there, sorry m8

it is okay my friend, but generally I won't respect people who reveal insider info because it shows a lack of professionalism and breach of faith.

2016-06-13 19:22

sick pickup

hui

Impressive, unexpected, unbelieveable!

rip luminosity

logic? + s1mple = double comeback + pimp = 16x0

s1mple to pimp? lel

wait a second...NA team and logic? hmm interesting..<3

Expected, this is not.

Not expected

good pickup

ez p1mple

-koosta +jdm and they're not bad

don't touch jdm bitch :D

the reddit user who predicted -adreN +pimp also said that liquid will announce +JDM in a few days

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yes, rip clg forever

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2016-06-13 20:52

[*]

ITs so fucking obvious lg become sk.OLD Sk disband after major ezzzzz

SK are not playing in the major though

Yea lg probably made a deal to sing under sk after the major.

Gla1ve and Glace really needs SK or Dignitas.

UNEXPECTED x999999999

Wow. GO PIMP

JDM for koosta u heard it here first boyz

Pretty good signing for Liquid. Pimp is fundamentally strong and has good decision making skills. adreN, who I think is still a good player, would too often suffer from tunnel vision and proceed to get shot in the back.

The addition of JDM over Koosta could make this Liquid team a real force.

he should stay in europe

HAHAHAH WHAT?

First they need to kick noobsta

no way they pick pimp over magisk, well i guess sk came out on top from this since all teams pimp joins falls hard

Not Expected but great move for Pimp GL BRO <3

pdlst

was not ready for that

gla1ve to sk then

Pimp gr8 player : )

Is he good ?

hltv.org/?pageid=247&playerid=7154 SeemsGood

Still better than adreN EleGiggle

2016-06-13 19:34

He's pretty consistent and liquid need consistency

2016-06-13 19:49

P.I.M.P no matter what you heard about me, it's the motherfucking P.I.M.P.

Waiting for Pimp himself to comment on this. [Come on Pimp, do it right here right now.]

2016-06-13 19:19

s1mple pls

pls did it

2016-06-13 19:21

Pimp is too good for Liquid.

Every time I see this guy I get reminded of pasha's story about him

wow this acutally might work

NAjs

2016-06-13 19:23

signing washed up player instead of rising star, gj liquid

who is a rising star?

Every NA team will have at least 1 EU player, this is how bad NA is.

imagine if they do really well with s1mple in major and MAYBE, MAYBE [doubt it] win it. Then again they will pick up s1mple and shit show starts once again

2016-06-13 19:24

2016-06-13 19:37

Nice pick

His names pimp, he lost a lot of weight, a lot of old teammates, now hes moving to america with new mates, rape, kill shroud, then vape \_ 420

2016-06-13 19:40

S1mple said on stream that someone will play instead of koosta and it will not be pimp

2016-06-13 19:41

bot p1mpo

2016-06-13 19:42

didnt he say a few months back he refused an NA offer and joined SK? maybe he changed his mind then.

What the fuck?

very good player as long as they're not thinking of him as an awper

+1 they already have koosta as an awper

2016-06-13 19:50

what ?

took them long enough... they refused him half a year ago

Na food .. So pimp will be fat again

Pimp was insane from the start of CS:GO to around a year ago. Hopefully he can go back to his peak, if Liquid set him up to be their start player/ similarily like s1mple

2016-06-13 19:52

Now if only -koosta +s1mple

Why would they want to sign Pimp though?

2016-06-13 19:53

good signing for hiko. finally someone to teach him how to lose some fucking weight :)

surely atleast his salary will be much higher also liquid makes it to majors

how does liquid have money to pay people if they keep losing?

american orgs bro

it's that cheeseburger money

2016-06-13 20:29

Why would they get Pimp out of so many players...

who else is available?

2016-06-13 20:05

EXPECTED

2016-06-13 20:07

just when you think liquid can't get worse, they find a way to prove that they can

holy fucking shit... this actually makes sense

2016-06-13 20:13

not expected

2016-06-13 20:18

good pickup, but they seriously should have got him back when he got kicked out of dignitas

s1mple is better but he's toxic so I guess that Pimp will do

totally deserved!

So liquids players couldn't handle s1mple being toxic so they go ahead and pick up another toxic player. Wp liquid wp

if it comes to fruition could be a good thing. liquid as a team really stepped up with s1mple (carrying.) just couldn't close out at the death. Hopefully if Pimp joins they can improve with EU knowledge. not the greatest Dane out there, but has a lot of experience. GLHF if it happens. should be an interesting ECS with s1mple ;)
