seized announces free agency

4/9/2019 - 10:12

After being placed on Vega Squadron's transfer list last month, Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin has revealed that he is now a free agent.

seized joined Vega Squadron in April of 2019 as part of a rebuilding effort for the roster that also featured the additions of Alexander "⁠scoobyxie⁠" Marynych and Dmitriy "⁠Dimaoneshot⁠" Bandurka. seized spent just over four months on the team before the organization announced that they would be taking a break from CS:GO.

The 24-year-old's time on the roster saw the team fail to meet expectations as they fell in the Minor closed qualifier, leading to the organization missing its first Major tournament since PGL Major Krakow 2017.

seized is a free agent once again

Not long after, seized attended his first and only LAN event with Vega Squadron, WePlay! Forge of Masters Season 1, where he averaged a 1.00 rating. The team picked up a series win over DreamEaters before falling in back-to-back losses to HellRaisers to finish in third place.

More recently, Vega Squadron fell to Spirit and AVANGAR in the BLAST Pro Series Moscow CIS closed qualifier, with the organization putting the roster on transfer mere days later. seized's announcement came just hours after Dimaoneshot had revealed that he was no longer tied to the CIS organisation.

2019-09-04 11:20

seized was horrible in 2017...0.93 rating with 0.85 in big events and 0.90 with 0.81 kd vs top10 teams on lan... and btw happy was top10 player in 2014 and top8 player in 2015+major mvp as an igl so your statement that he never was a top player just isnt true

He always seemed like not bad or inconsistent i dont know how to describe... But top8 for him is a miracle and envyus were so good at that time. Navi was never that good in 2014 2015. Like friberg was 11th cuz of nip form. I think thats why happy looked like top 20 player

2019-09-04 10:59

happy was actually insane and insanely consistent for an igl. not as impactful as other awpers(like guardian, kennys etc) but he surely was top player in his peak. he had the second highest individual peak as an igl alongside with gla1ve in 2018 "Like friberg was 11th cuz of nip form. I think thats why happy looked like top 20 player" its like you would say that players like gtr, snax, fallen, guardian and many many more never were top players bcs they are bad nowadays. thats not how it works...and btw friberg was INSANE back in the days

fallen?

yes fallen as well...from top2 player in the world in general, the best awper and igl in his prime to 1.03 in big events, 1.00 vs top10 teams on lan and 0.89 vs top5 teams on lan(in another words not even top30 player nowadays).

2019-09-04 13:02

nah...probs be something like: 1. fallen 2. gla1ve 3. happy 4. xizt (#6 in 2013)

2019-09-05 00:18

i went with hltv ranking. i didnt actually look at stats or something. so maybe you are right and happy is third but its still respectable:)

2019-09-05 05:32

Looking back, you all are right. My bad i checked some old cs things and happy is pretty good. But still seized s downfall is bigger

2019-09-05 14:05

He started to play bad when they kicked Zeus and he was forced to IGL. He was reaaaally good up until that point. I was really impressed by his plays. Worst decision ever to kick Zeus but at that time they wanted to try the coach-IGL which Valve addressed like 6 months later. He gets too much shit now, he was super consistent, saved Na'Vi asses multiples times and people tend to forget it.

2019-09-04 10:54

+1 Back in 2015 he was pretty good

2019-09-04 11:11

+1 He was even the 2nd awp in navi and did a great job. I have never seen a player fall off that far.

i thought that he wanted to commit to the igl-role? And because of that they kicked zeus to get more firepower but i might be wrong

2019-09-04 11:23

Was my fav in the old na'vi.

2019-09-04 11:42

Thats true. Kicking Zeus and the coach rulechange broke NaVi and especially Seized back then

2019-09-04 14:33

Thats also true, only GODEDWARD didn't want to kick Zeus

2019-09-04 15:14

He kicked Zeus from Navi to became IGL. After that NAVI lost all of tours which they participate, then he was kicked. p.s. Zeus won the major with Gambit. So its not sad story. Sad for Denis "Decoy" Kostin, but not for someone else.

2019-09-04 16:00

2019-09-04 11:29

why just retire tier 9999999 player

2019-09-04 11:32

Still find this sad. Dude was absolutely crucial for navi in 2015 and a a big part of 2016. He lost his touch and never recovered.

Volvo fucked him with that coach rule, where they were not allowed to talk during matches. He turned out to be bad IGL and the had to cut him.

2019-09-04 11:57

True. But after that he still could not recover.

2019-09-04 12:47

players like this need to think about the term free agency because even if he is free no one will want him, perhaps he should pay the team he joins a salary so they can justify having a bot on their lineup

2019-09-04 11:35

cool. now he'll be on another team that achieves nothing and then kicked in 3 months

2019-09-04 11:37

he needs to get education otherwise his gona be poor. His not even that good and he has like 500 viewers in twitch (mabye less). He needs to stop play.

2019-09-04 11:40

2019-09-04 12:21

He left school early, he has no brain to realise this

2019-09-04 16:30

i always disliked seized but why everyone is hating on him so much

Well he has been in 4 teams after navi and all these team disbanded

he lost his aim in 2017 god knows why. He was one of the clutchest players in 15-17.

it actually looks like he cheated back in the days. I mean he was really really good and went to absolute dogshit in literally no time. And he is 24 now, thats not really too old for cs, its just very strange :(

igl job and hate from fans destroyed him

2019-09-04 13:25

he can bounce from one tier 4 team to another but might as well just look for a normal job and retire.

I doubt he'll work at normal job ever

2019-09-04 13:19

of course he will. he didnt play in a decent team for years. i doubt that he has savings.

Guy left school early so if not sitting on salary in some other tier 3 dumpster, than he ll try to stream, this spoiled kid wont find any real job

one day he'll have to. either now or in 5-10 years.

Imagine being 24 and being shit throughout your entire career

He was easily the second best player on navi before flamie joined, and he helped Guardian carry the team to a bunch of tournament wins. Coompetitive CS existed before you started watching it. I know it's a lot to take in all at once. Take your time and try to stay calm.
