CR4ZY transfer roster to c0ntact Gaming

20/1/2020 - 17:06

CR4ZY has officially confirmed their roster's transfer to c0ntact Gaming.

The announcement confirms two independent reports by HLTV.org, which revealed that CR4ZY agreed to sell their CS:GO team, and 1pv.fr, who reported on the identity of the buyer, c0ntact Gaming.

c0ntact Gaming is a new United States-based organization that owns two brands in the franchised Call of Duty World League and Overwatch League, Paris Legion and Paris Eternal, respectively.

ottoNd & co. will represent c0ntact from now on

They have now entered CS:GO for the first time with the acquisition of the CR4ZY roster, who are currently ranked 20th in HLTV.org's Team Ranking following successful campaigns at the last three DreamHack Open stops in Atlanta, Jönköping, and Sevilla, with two top-four placings and a runner-up finish.

With the team, c0ntact has acquired a spot in the New Legends Stage of the ESL One Rio Major, after CR4ZY's previous roster featuring Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković and Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač placed 9th-11th at the StarLadder Major.

"My first reaction was ‘there’s no way this is happening again.’ However, I also realized the opportunity for the players and decided this would be the best for them. I would never do anything to stop them from progressing in their career. We will be getting to The Major soon enough," CR4ZY CEO, Antonio Meic, said in a statement.

The Croatian organization intends to stay in CS:GO with a "soon-to-be-announced roster." A recent photo posted by the CEO, Antonio Meic, suggests Ivan "⁠Johnta⁠" Shevtsov will be involved with the new team in some capacity.

c0ntact now field the following team:

Rokas "⁠EspiranTo⁠" Milasauskas
Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić
Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo
Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković
Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov

Neil "⁠NeiL_M⁠" Murphy (coach)

Good move! Good luck!

2020-01-21 01:11

it definitely won't be called c0ntact. this org generally creates a custom name to each roster they build

2020-01-20 17:30

well the thing is they have 2 teams, Overwatch and cod, both franchised where u MUST have a costum name

2020-01-20 23:06

yeah I am aware, still I don't think they'll be called c0ntact. it's a dumb name imo

2020-01-21 12:51

well they like using letters in their names. If they went with crazy they might go with c0ntact

2020-01-21 18:05

2020-01-20 17:11

If you can read it is the name of the org but not one of their teams play with this name.

2020-01-20 17:17

RIP crazy :/ Btw if hunter and nexa didnt leave but instead they would make -letni and +shipz they would be top 10 now and better than g2

0/8

2020-01-20 18:16

Biggest waste of money in the CSGO history lol they spent 2m $ on this roster according to sources lmao 2 000 000 $ for emi and letn1 and major spot where they will get 0-3 almost 100% just idiocy

2020-01-20 17:13

16 replies

a team paid 1 million for immortal major spot but then kngV didn't get a Visa. That was wasted money. This here is only expensive but not totally wasted.

2020-01-20 17:18

yeah but you get Shipz , espiranto and otto so you "just" need an IGL and support and you have a legit top15 team maybe top 10 if u invest some money imo OG should have done the deal just add aleksib/valde and ISSA and you would habe a really good team

2020-01-20 17:41

Tell me do you really think they would invest into something that wont payback? My friend you have no idea how smart investors invest.

Its not a gamble, he can go on roullete and gamble this is an invesment they see espis,ottos,shipzes potential that someone can become a future star and they can profit off of them, also major spots bring in revenue, sponsors etc. Dont be stupid its a lie there is no money in the top tier of esports

2020-01-20 17:53

do u know that 90% of CSGO teams are unprofitable ? This guys just dont follow CSGO scene and dont know potential of the team This is failed project that will disbands after Major

2020-01-20 18:01

this team was bought to compete in the franchise league, so actually 1.5 m for a solid 3 man core + major spot is actually a good deal Remember full teams cost more because of franchise league now

2020-01-20 18:19

Thats not true, 90% of investors will say they arent making profit, what do you think they are a charity giving 5 guys 5-30k a month?

because they have other disciplines thats why NRG sold their CSGO team

Becouse they got 3 mil for them and they left the scene in good profits from that

2020-01-20 18:26

u really stupid sorry 2m for tier3 team that losing vs everyone 3m for 4-5th team in the world So how its good deal ?

2020-01-20 18:29

Probably couldnt get more if theyr contracts were expiring

2020-01-20 18:39

thats why serbia is so fucking poor xd cuz people down there clearly know how to invest

2020-01-21 00:03

I see your name checks out

2020-01-21 00:50

yeah is serbia one if not the poorest countries in europe? yes indeed it is

2020-01-21 00:52

It is but it isnt becouse of what you said.

2020-01-21 10:07

who??

ez major

lmao if it's true they cost 2mil then it's one of the worst buys i've seen, budget harry potter aka espiranto just a shit angry cocky kid like k0nfig not actually good

they have major spot

2020-01-20 19:11

worth signing a team thats about to go 0-3 fr 2m tho?

2020-01-20 22:32

2020-01-20 17:39

haahgahahha lkuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

2020-01-20 17:40

I’m just happy Shipz and Otto will be getting paid good money. Much deserved gamers.

wasted money

1.5 mil for BRAT NESTOR when im out here just chilling in lvl5 pugs smh

nestor just got investor, slick move.. lot of 1.6 vets has left the game, glad LETN1 playin' another year.

2020-01-20 23:53

im glad he is making bank now assumably,but watching him be so nervous and shaking ingame is really tilting

2020-01-20 23:55

Good job! Now -emi and -Letn1 after the major

2020-01-20 17:54

these names of orgs like me 12yo in cs 1.6

2020-01-20 17:58

for real bro.

2020-01-20 17:59

awful name, I would suggest rebrand

2020-01-20 18:06

Yeah

2020-01-20 18:25

Much deserved players! couldn't wait to the full roster.

Maybe Rebrand... Not a Very good Name :/ Since Hunter and Nexa left they have been down :/

WORST name in Esports history?? lol. "c0ntact"? Really. And i guess CR4ZY will get a CIS roster since Johnta might be in the team?

2020-01-20 18:30

maybe they sign juggernauts

2020-01-20 19:12

Complexity?

2020-01-20 22:29

if you don't like it take it to them use the c0ntact form on their website

2020-01-20 21:28

this is some cs 1.6 clan name type beat. actually a breath of fresh air with all the "professional" orgs who take themselves too seriously. it'll be fun if you see some kid from lithuania and few serbians with c0ntact gaming tag playing close series with elite teams

How can you have a name like c0ntact, even worse than CR4ZY. plz rebrand as a new team

2020-01-20 18:35

It's the name of the org but they won't play under that name.

nice

Not bad org tbh

2020-01-20 19:02

WTF THIS IS CRAZY

2020-01-20 19:07

cool, another org with a stup1d name

they will probably give the team a own brand with a different name.

2020-01-20 19:16

Shit Organisation. Cr4zy better. Valiance the best

c0ntact org > cr4zy/valiance org c0ntact name = cr4zy <<<<<< Valiance

2020-01-22 14:16

Not true

2020-01-22 14:50

What is not true? c0ntac has way more money for players then cr4zy will ever have and Valiance was best name out of 3.

2020-01-22 14:53

lets see how they'll brand this team ;)

cr4zy has contracts?

I read it like "CR4ZY transfer roster to contact Gambit", XD

cr4zy ranking is inflated since nexa, hunter was in the team. Should imo be a top 30-40 team.

what about price?

2020-01-20 19:28

good move brother

2020-01-20 19:42

lmao wasted money

2020-01-20 19:58

they get challenger spot lol not legends spot

2020-01-20 20:02

This team name becomes worse and worse..

2020-01-20 22:24

Its org. name they have new one Neil said so it will be announced in this week prob.

2020-01-20 22:36

CR4ZY picking up HellRaisers?? HELL NO

2020-01-20 22:35

Did I remember right? Aren't they supposed to move and compete in NA?

2020-01-20 23:09

No they are just picked up by NA org.

2020-01-21 05:32

thank you

2020-01-21 17:05

They must have a good contact LOLXD

2020-01-21 10:58

Good move for CR4ZY! I smell good pay for him.

2020-01-21 12:24

They were sold for 1.5 million dollars

2020-01-21 13:41

more than*

2020-01-21 17:12

2020-01-21 14:00

They seriously need to kick emi, biggest bot in scene ez 50 elo always against him

2020-01-21 14:47

Neil said that they all got years+ contract so i don't think that emi will be kicked soon, but it's 50/50.

2020-01-21 17:07

i hope they kick him so he can play more faceits and give me more elo

2020-01-21 18:02

Where is the time when the line up was: Nexa, Hunter, Espiranto, Otto and Letn1.. they were so close to become a tier1 team then! They just had to remove Letn1 and replace him with a player like: Frozen or someone else..

2020-01-23 19:02

The roster is kinda weak. 2 mil wasted :(

2020-01-24 17:22

Great rebranding lol I have high hopes to the roster.

2020-01-24 19:08
