OpTic change stanislaw for tarik

20-8-2016 23:15

OpTic gaming have released Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz and brought in former CLG player Tarik "tarik" Celik, the organization announced on their website.

Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik has been without a home since his departure from CLG in early July, at a point when he decided to take a break from competitions for the remainder of 2016 to focus on streaming.

His break has been cut short however, as he returned to active duty sooner than expected, joining OpTic at the expense of Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz.

tarik cut his break short to join OpTic

OpTic have made the move despite showing improvement since the addition of Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas, most importantly winning the Americas Minor and qualifying for Cologne at the offline qualifier.

At the major itself however they finished last in their group, consisting of Ninjas in Pyjamas, Natus Vincere and FlipSid3, and also ended up in 15th-16th place at ELEAGUE.

"Today it was announced that I would be replaced in the starting line-up of Optic CS:GO with Tarik from CLG. Obviously this wasn't my decision, and they did what they felt like was best for the future of the team, and I wish them luck for the future." Jarguz said in a statement, the full version of which you can find here.

"This is where I assume the team had other ideas and started to think about changes that they felt were necessary to take them to the next level. I believe that with Tarik they will do well, as he is a fantastic player. I just wish they had told me two weeks ago when they first approached him instead of me learning it from a third party source, as now the season has started and my options will be limited."

OpTic now have:

Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele
Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic
Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Tarik "⁠tarik⁠" Celik

Their debut with the new player will come later today, in an ESL Pro League Season 4 series versus Liquid, scheduled to start at 04:00 .

Ez tarik

2016-08-21 10:39

is he played against nip,fnatic,navi teams. u can kill juho davcost easily. the point is entry frag on fnatic ct side :) tarik is way better than xantares

2016-08-21 00:12

no he did not. but If you watch both, you can easily say that xantares will win 80% of aim duels.

2016-08-21 00:38

actually i cant say this easily. xantares is traffic player we all agree this but tarik has major on his career more than 1. thats not about aim duels

2016-08-21 01:27

nope tarik is really good person and solid player

2016-08-20 23:28

K we'll see. Will hopefully be a good match against liquid.

2016-08-20 23:32

i hope so optic is more strong team atm

Honestly the house has cool stuff but its really fkn ugly inside

2016-08-21 00:45

the rooms are decorated weirdly and it still has old furniture in it, but holy damn that atrium is some cool shit. first time im legitmitly jealous about such things lel

2016-08-21 10:23

LOL

WTF

LUL

Why can't we just put our best players on one team

Tarik Best Choose one.

EZ 4 ENCE??? Seriously tho, I can see this new team giving Tarik newfound motivation. He is a very talented player like shroud,and if he cant realize that potential in Optic then he will forever be known as another shroud, and nobody wants to be that.

2016-08-20 23:25

LOL, tarik has shown literally nothing against tier 1 teams in big international LANs

Tarik is undeniably a very talented player who has a lot of potential. If he was surrounded by players who were of equal skill it would be much easier for him to play his best.

2016-08-20 23:31

i always thought skill also has something to do with having a brain and as we all know tarik is the dumbest pro alive. no good igl = no good tarik.

2016-08-21 00:55

You have a point

2016-08-21 06:19

i always have a point, look at my fucking nickname.

2016-08-21 10:15

OpTiC is actually an insane team love watching them upset teams. GL Tarik

Optic top 1 na

YES! Optic has a lot of potential :)

Who needs IGL after coach change xd

Daps is and was their IGL

thats how we do. BROOOOO

Very unexpected, gl!

gl optic

HAHHA LOOL

gud

top 1 na ez

rip.

Tarik is shit

rofl

are u kidding me? hahaha i don't think this is a good move by OpTic, anyway, GL Tarik.

retarded logic by optic rip stanis :(

Kebab come back :)

wtf

Speedy tarik confirmed gl my man

should have been daps

No. You cant have coach igl's anymore so daps will have to stay

2016-08-21 00:29

This game at 4 AM is gonna be so exciting now.

2016-08-20 23:21

Rofl i feel so bad for Europeans watching NA esl matches, especially because there is usually a 30 minute delay before the first game starts.

2016-08-20 23:54

This is fucking dumb, there is no way tarik is a better player than stanislaw.. he is fucking trash last good LAN performance was like 2 years ago holy fuck what a retarded roster change

Idk either man if tarik plays as good under daps as he did fns then it was worth it but if not can't really say that this is best trade ever.

2016-08-21 01:29

+1 I feel the same way. Yet people used to say the same about scream and he is back on his old form now. Maybe it will work this time, I srsly doubt it tho

2016-08-21 06:27

More to follow...

noicee

2016-08-20 23:24

ez t1 NA team

finally

Have you seen Optics new gaming house?? Of course he came back so early lol

k now -daps +adreN best team na

2016-08-21 00:14

more to follow???

They'll post his joining statement and such, no more roster moves

ah makes sense

2016-08-21 00:07

Fucking dumb, tarik doesnt deserve another opportunity to play on top team he is fucking peanut brain idiot, its like optic think its 2014 tarik..

Don't be mad like you said yourself "tarik doesnt deserve another opportunity to play on top team" and Optic are FAR from being a top team, tier 2 NA.

2016-08-21 00:05

Who would you say is tier 1? Cloud9, Liquid, who else?

2016-08-21 00:43

C9 T1? I aren't think that

2016-08-21 16:46

Tier 1 NA, not tier one world. Cloud 9 recently beat liquid twice in pro league. Liquid being the supposed top 1 NA.

2016-08-21 17:45

tarik finally teaming up with his brother n1

Wtf

stan was a beast just abit inconsistent. oh well i like the move for both the org and tarik.

not -daps?

kebabik right now < stanislaw

Good for Tarik (i don't think any "competitive" pro, not the Maikele/Skytten type of players who can go months without a team - and when they join it's ex-Winterfox xD should stay 6 months without a team) who could find a team and not waste 6 months, like he would have done if he had waited 2017 to join a team. Not sure it's that good for Optic though.

tarik sucks

who care

ez 4 noodle arms

CLG NOW IS DEAD

Nice nice GL to Tarik.

unexpectered, might make them even better though

always thought stanislaw was one of the good guys, especially in this age of IGLs. Explain?

Daps was always the IGL, who told you otherwise? I mean some people here think stanislaw was the igl who tf told you that, he's just bad with no excuse at least Daps has excuse he is IGL so no one expects him to be good.

2016-08-21 00:04

He wasn't IGL, daps was.

2016-08-21 00:36

Good

i like it nevermind everything else

2016-08-20 23:34

mixwell and tarik interestin gneed to see them play asap

2016-08-20 23:35

Pretty dank team tbh

2016-08-20 23:37

pls no :(

Great for optic!

2016-08-20 23:38

suuuuper unexpected

Cuz all of them are not native muricans, right? :D

2016-08-21 07:07

wow

wow that's a hugh upgrade for OpTiC! GL :)

2016-08-20 23:55

Looks like we got Spanish tarik and NA tarik on one team

Good move imo, I don't think Tarik is very good but he's better than stanislaw.

2016-08-21 00:03

So sad for stan and OpTiC, both losing so much with this change. TSM and OpTiC are teams that had great potential but are losing it or in OpTiC's case, throwing it away. =(

2016-08-21 00:10

Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken Keith "NAF" Markovic Óscar "mixwell" Cañellas Will "RUSH" Wierzba Tarik "tarik" Celik that lineup is sick.. and so talented

2016-08-21 00:15

tarik is such an overated player it is ridiculous. #feestanis

2016-08-21 00:19

Wow

2016-08-21 00:20

Good luck playing with toxic as fuck NAF... Everyone on that team hates each other.

like in all others NA teams

2016-08-21 00:27

Stanislaw actually had a brain, unlike tarik Optic going full firepower with this move. Could just end up backfiring.

Let's goooo tarik gonna enjoy that huge ass house

RIP TSM Tarik dream :(

daps must give nice blowjobs

shitty move TIMINGWISE, at least let your guy have a chance of joining another team for the upcoming seasons.

2016-08-21 01:32

If there are two US players, two Canadians, and a Spaniard, what will OpTic's team flag be?

finland

2016-08-21 09:49

This was bound to happen, stanislaw is the most in-consistent player on optic. I would say stan is better than tarik gamesense wise, but tarik is better fragging wise, what I think optic is looking for, I don't even know if tarik will fit in with optic's playstyle, time would tell, mixwell adapted well, only time would tell about tarik.

2016-08-21 01:40

Wasnt stan a solid rifler?? They could also -naf +sick

2016-08-21 02:31

Stanislaw is better than tarik

2016-08-21 02:30

obviously an upgrade although stanislaw is more consistent imo. their playstyle really differs

tarik so wasted talent in optic

2016-08-21 03:47

nice pick

yea remember when stan was lurking for optic and he was so inconsistent? now naf is lurking and he is inconsistent, he's a good player though, no reason to drop him, plus he can awp
