Snappi set to join c0ntact

9/6/2020 - 11:37

Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer is close to signing with c0ntact after the organization reached a deal to buy the Dane out from TIGER, HLTV.org has learned.

The Danish in-game leader was originally set to play for TIGER alongside Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield after being bought out of his contract with Heroic in May, but a surprising turn of events saw the Chinese organisation give the team a vote of confidence after a series of impressive results in regional tournaments, including ESL One: Road to Rio.

The U-turn left Snappi on the Asian team's bench, but he was quickly back in action as he joined Astralis to stand in for Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth.

Snappi is close to signing with c0ntact

It's unclear who Snappi will replace in c0ntact should his transfer come to completion. Recent performances point to one of the two Serbian members, Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković and Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić, who have averaged 0.92 and 0.89 ratings with c0ntact.

HLTV.org knows that c0ntact will include Snappi in the line-up that will be submitted for cs_summit 6, the second Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament in Europe, which is slated to start on June 24. The Dane will end his sojourn with Astralis on June 14 at the latest after the team declined an invitation to compete in cs_summit to avoid being punished in the RMR rankings for temporarily moving Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander and Xyp9x out of the starting line-up.

The European side has been playing with the current roster since October, when the team — at the time representing CR4ZY — lost Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković and Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač to G2 and brought in Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov, while emi transitioned from coaching to a playing role. The team has been unable to live up to past glories since then, dropping out of the top 30 in the rankings following disappointing results at Flashpoint 1 and ESL One: Road to Rio - Europe.

c0ntact's lineup will look as follows:

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

Neil "⁠NeiL_M⁠" Murphy (coach)
Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

gl. also so many different flags o_O w0w

So what are they doing by kicking prob letn1 and signing snappi LUL

1 reply

Same here but that was obvious when they tried out rallen in flashpoint in lent1 position and thomas in dh in letn1 position.

2020-06-09 15:47

They have to kick both serbs if they want to get gud honestly.

2020-06-09 20:40

hahaha

- LETN1?

2020-06-09 13:27

Expected

OK.

Rip ASTRALIS

Snappi is standing in for Astralis wdym

2020-06-09 12:14

He was just on loan till july anyway?

2020-06-09 13:47

Kekw. Cant wait for The Gods themselves to come back. I cant watch Astralis with botugi and botppi anymore. At least Snappi performs to some extend , jugi is plain garbage.

2020-06-09 20:41

why they have 2 coaches

17 replies

2 coaches is better than 1

2020-06-09 11:40

and still cant be even top 30 smh...

if you lose nexa and huNter ofc it will be hard to stay in top30

2020-06-09 11:46

exactly.

2020-06-09 14:47

No. More like if you play with letn1 and bring even worse player to the team (emi). Its like playing with hunden and zeus at once (individual skill , not iq wise). Said in different words , its like playing with bot juan and bot charlee , at least when you have actual bots you can press "E" and use them , not such option with Emi and Botn1

2020-06-09 20:44

Dude you're dumb they building new roaster and trying player you think they would be playing much events if they will go with other roaster huh ?

2020-06-09 14:54

they needed some fresh ideas. I believe dJL is more ‘backroom staff’ and I don’t think he would be allowed to give input in game.

7 replies

fair enough

2020-06-09 11:41

Well at the moment he is the one who is their coach in game. I think he can bring way more to the team than Neil_M

2020-06-09 13:03

Isnt Neil more of a "hype guy" that just screams and helps the team atmosphere , keeping the spirit high bla bla?

2020-06-09 20:46

Yes, he is a hype man that's why they got djl to the team probably :D

2020-06-09 22:09

He was on the server in SHC insteaf of Neil

2020-06-09 13:17

Ah I did not realise!

2020-06-09 18:03

After he was announced he was only one in games Neil is prob c0ntanct cs manager dude.

2020-06-09 14:55

If Snappi replace emi they will probably have 3 coaches

2020-06-09 11:42

Emi is good igl dude he has even better stats than letn1 by calling and playing, so I don't think they're going to replace emi right now.

2020-06-09 14:56

more like 3 because emi is a coach as well :D

2020-06-09 13:51

so bad

Gl, definitely and upgrade for letn1 or emi

lol

Well every experienced cs player / fan I mean literally everyone with brain

Thats ignorant suggestion

2020-06-09 12:12

Old is gold but what do you know about it, newfag

2020-06-09 21:01

Ye ye , each time i call useless pro an "old and useless" some dumb brainless fan comes out of a corner and cries U ARE JUST a NEWFAG Best argument in your entire life , go cry in bed

2020-06-09 21:04

I am laughing at your ignorance, newfag

2020-06-09 21:23

He will frag at least as good as emi and call way better so this seems like a good move

2020-06-09 22:59

imagine signing 30 yo OMEGALUL

Still has more aim than you

2020-06-09 16:09

ofc he has lol i dont play cs you clown

2020-06-09 16:10

What's the difference if you did? None

2020-06-09 16:11

none, but doesn't matter as he is not playing it

2020-06-09 17:39

What a dumb comment xddd Favelaboooizzzz

2020-06-09 16:36

-letn1 or -emi?

Hope both

2020-06-09 11:47

Hopefully -letn1, but then they had 2 igls so -emi aswell

2020-06-09 14:08

snappi big brain knows that astralis is sinking ship and contact better team ))

ok now take jugi as well

They won't replace Otto and Espi for sure.

2020-06-09 14:57

XDDD wait Snappi is in Astralis ? Where es3tag Kick letn1 or emi?

Esetag's contract with Heroic expires next month, until then he cant play for astralis

2020-06-09 11:50

so Snappi can play with next few Astralis games yes?

2020-06-09 11:51

Yea

2020-06-09 12:08

Wtf

Don't take this noob ffs

actually good move Pog

But he's bad player, mens))

wtf

2020-06-09 11:43

rip emi

2020-06-09 11:44

They needed a change but why snappi...

How is this ever gonna work?

Feelsbad for Device, Magisk and dupreeh, they have to play with 2 useless bots every game, must be so frustrating.Astralis with Jugi looked still decent but Snappi is wayyy too bad.

its because they had Xyp9x, the best support. and Snappi is a dead weight if u dont let him igl

2020-06-09 12:13

Stop talking "facts" out of your ass You haven't seen Astralis vs NiP game today, have you?

wish espiranto could go to better team

+1 #SaveEspiranto

Heroic > tiger > astralis > contact LUL I suppose north missed another chance but this wasnt such a big miss.

C'mon, faster - better

im confused, snappi joined 3 teams in 1 month, wtf is going on lmao

He was just a stand-in in Astralis but yeah pretty weird

Snappi would be a great fit to replace emi imo but i have to say that C0ntact is a weird org. They have zero fans and they are not doing anything to change that. Their some game is very lackluster.

I'm c0ntact fan because of GOD Otto

2020-06-09 12:02

Name doesn't check out

2020-06-09 12:38

I can't be a fan of multiple teams?

2020-06-09 13:35

Name checks out

2020-06-09 12:42

They do have alot of fans in Serbia

2020-06-09 14:23

2020-06-09 19:59

TIGER/Heroic/Astralis/c0ntact: Which org you want to play? Snappi:yes

slut xD

2020-06-09 11:48

2020-06-09 11:54

2020-06-09 21:06

nice one

still better than LETN1

wot

2020-06-09 11:52

Lmao

ez money for TIGER

2020-06-09 11:55

TIGER's owner is one of the richest Chinese company dude. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sina_Corp I think you heard about Sina Weibo.

very uninspiring signing for some reason although c0ntact badly need to change something

Nice, good player

2020-06-09 12:03

Qhat

Astralis -> one month -> c0ntact L O L O L O L

Because Snappi is just a standin? Not a signed player.

2020-06-09 15:06

gl #savec0ntact

2020-06-09 12:06

SAVE ESPIRANTO

he just choose better team

2020-06-09 12:07

He just choose team with potential*

2020-06-09 14:59

good for astralis not snappi

Wait, Snappi is 30? LOL, ma dude looks 17 max, fucking vampire.

Why would you even sign this BOT? wtf

good igl

Ok IGL, but fragging to trash.

2020-06-09 12:15

name doesnt check out

What doesn't check out? friendly? What's unfriendly in saying that his fragging is trash?

2020-06-09 12:39

His fragging isn't THAT bad, I mean he's not great but he gets just enough to not be a problem if the rest of the team is good enough.

I don't agree with you here bro. I think his fragging is trash.

They desperately need firepower, so they bring in like 3rd IGL with 0,95 rating. Epic. Now pls sign angel.... Only interesting thing is that it is most likely still upgrade replacing letn1.

2020-06-09 12:19

4 coaches 4 players interesting personalities

2020-06-09 12:21

wtf is going on

2020-06-09 12:22

SHipz to complexity plss

2020-06-09 12:23

Shipz is inconsistent to go to coL it would be 5 players who can't frag one map then other do good and shit like that.

2020-06-09 15:01

WTF is going on?

2020-06-09 12:26

good

2020-06-09 12:27

-emi -letni and +someone who can do headshots

2020-06-09 12:28

Headshots in 2020, lol.

2020-06-09 12:58

what? Astralis lost player XD

2020-06-09 12:29

Snappi was stand-in until es3tag's contract with Heroic is over.

2020-06-09 13:00

yes

2020-06-09 13:21

they need more coaches

2020-06-09 12:32

emi probably goes back to coach position so they improve thier coach to player ratio nicely

I would think they would replace lent1 first cuz they did so in flashpoint and dreamhack when they got rallen and thomas.

2020-06-09 15:02

Interesting.. Is emi better or was he IGL? I suppose Snappi will be IGL.

Could be that Snappi only be a rifler LUL to change Lent1 for some time maybe.

2020-06-09 16:38

Yeah but if so, then Contact wont upgrade much

2020-06-09 20:01

Still would be better than letn1

2020-06-09 20:52

Astralis can’t even afford to keep a player over a tier 4 org. xaxaxaxaxaxaxa

Snappi is a standin dumb fuck

2020-06-09 12:40

LMAO

Astralis btfo

2020-06-09 12:47

Good, but does that mean that Emi will come back to coaching or is letn1 getting cut? Nevertheless they still need a proper 5th

2020-06-09 12:51

espi gonna kick this bot like krystal lmao

2020-06-09 12:53

yeah and destroy the team just like he did with imperial, espi is a toxic fuck.

2020-06-09 13:26

ye destroyed team by getting hunter and nexa to join

2020-06-09 17:23

what the hell? under which teams flag this boi plays on?!

c0ntact's flag

2020-06-09 13:02

But why snapii?

2020-06-09 12:57

Snappi 30 - looks like 17. Good for him

POG

2020-06-09 13:06

Snappi 30yo WTF

awesome, finally astralis have hope, still waiting for jugi's turn to leave.

2020-06-09 13:34

JUGI is signed to a 2+ contract at Astralis, Es3 as well. Snappi is just a stand-in at Astralis, so most likely Snappi leaves for c0ntact.

2020-06-09 13:40

-Emi +Snappi

2020-06-09 13:38

2020-06-09 13:39

-Emi +Snappi -LETN1 +jdm64

2020-06-09 13:46

won't sign jdm cuz he's in america and all of c0ntact in europe.

2020-06-09 15:03

GL, c0ntact play like garbage. Change of IGL could certainly benefit them.

GL Snappi, hope to see you back on a danish team again soon.

2020-06-09 13:55

Next week: Snappi join MAD Lions

2020-06-09 13:57

Tiger? He went from heroic to astralis no?

2020-06-09 13:59

no he went from Heroic to Tiger, he's just a stand-in for Astralis in this tourney

2020-06-09 15:40

2020-06-09 14:00

New meta incoming

2020-06-09 14:14

2020-06-09 14:24

a team of bots

cool

2020-06-09 14:31

Best of luck Snappi!

2020-06-09 14:42

Just realised Snappi is 30 wth I thought he was younger

from number 1 team to not even top 30, cringe

2020-06-09 14:50

forget about this kid, i wanna see Smooya play in a team, he is sick

2020-06-09 14:51

won't replace otto for smooya surely.

2020-06-09 15:05

the rat king always wins

2020-06-09 19:29

c0ntact > astralis rn LMAO

omg. Why don't ALEX? snax? dennis? lekr0? paz? ramz1k?

10 replies

Why would ALEX or Lekr0 join c0ntact when they EASILY can join teams such as Mouz, FaZe, OG etc etc

2020-06-09 15:08

Idk, money?

2020-06-09 15:11

8 replies

c0ntact isnt exactly a gigantic org. Yes, they do have a businessman as the CEO, but, since he hasnt spent a lot of money on the players he have now i doubt he would buy Lekr0 / ALEX out of contract. If everything is about money, then they should join MIBR/Immortals since Immortals is one of the richest orgs out there lol. Lekr0 and ALEX could easily replace ChrisJ and Karrigan in Mouz. EDIT: Btw, i think, the owner of c0ntact is the child of Frank McCourt, the owner of the teams called Miami Celtics and Olympique de Marseille, the football club in France. But not sure. EDIT2: Yeah, i googled it, Drew, the CEO of c0ntact is Franks son.

2020-06-09 15:19

relax, i'm just think players better than snappi to replace LETN1, if c0ntact wanted buy one

2020-06-09 15:18

Read edit btw :)

2020-06-09 15:17

okay. but dennis and ramz1k can replace him

2020-06-09 15:20

Contact has money, they should went for some better player

2020-06-09 20:02

Yeah, like i said, they have a businessman as CEO. But, i believe c0ntact wanted to gamble on "smaller players" and maybe sell them in the future you know. I mean, a player like: OttoNd could join Ence. SHiPZ could maybe join coL EspiranTo could easily join a top 20 team.

2020-06-09 20:05

Yes mans, but Snappi xd, he wont go anywhere for more money im sure

2020-06-09 20:08

I get ur point, but they still could go with some youngstar who could become top20 player in future. Im sure there are many youngsters out there who would play for salary like its in contact.

2020-06-09 20:10

Snappi 30yo? More like 22

2020-06-09 15:04

18 max he's 30 in hltv cuz he has fake pass LUL

Nah I dont belive

2020-06-09 15:13

only a meme LUL

2020-06-09 15:14

How does people not understand that Snappi is just a standin, and not signed, at Astralis?

2020-06-09 15:07

poor snappi. has to go to contact lol. even tiger wouldve been a better option than contact

2020-06-09 15:24

Imagine leaving Heroic for C0nctat, snappi peanut brain

2020-06-09 15:25

2020-06-09 15:34

Are you fuck you?

2020-06-09 15:35

gla1ve is back?

2020-06-09 15:37

snappi is just a stand-in for the rest of DH master and since Astralis wont be playing cs_summit gla1ve is probably gonna be back for ESL one cologne in late august

2020-06-09 15:39

Thanks bud.

2020-06-09 15:44

Nop es3tag

2020-06-09 16:06

2020-06-09 16:04

Still VP is worst team one time flukes LUL

2020-06-09 16:30

if emi step down 3 coach?

It would be prob now that letn1 steps down cuz he ain't fraging better than emi.

2020-06-09 16:28

snappi is 30 wtffff i thought hes like 24

2020-06-09 16:13

he has been living this life since 2008/2009 we are talking about a veteran bro

2020-06-09 16:35

-Snappi +Roej or +Bubkjl

pls save ottond!!

2020-06-09 16:43

Why save him if he and espi are building co they picking players what they like until then they have to play with others.

2020-06-09 17:00

2020-06-09 20:38

now just kick letn1 as well

2020-06-09 16:45

Probably Letn1 becuase Emi is the IGL . Unless someone else is going to be picking it up

2020-06-09 16:47

Snappi used to be an igl

2020-06-09 17:03

used that word is the best.

2020-06-09 18:33

👌 okay

actually this is a great move

2020-06-09 17:18

This guys has nothing special at all, I wonder why orgs want him

2020-06-09 18:02

2020-06-09 18:04

He's a veteran so orgs like him. But I agree.

"He's a veteran so orgs like him." ??????????? That makes no sense at all

2020-06-09 20:56

trash anyways

2020-06-09 18:43

Hes terrible lmao. Changing shit to shit thinking that if it's new it will stink less lmao

2020-06-09 19:08

+1 men Imagine bringing 30 year old guy who is thrash indivudally and cant compete at highest level

2020-06-09 19:27

Like the rest of contact lol

2020-06-09 21:13

3 of their players are still young and have chance to become t1 :D

2020-06-09 21:55

Everybody has chance to be t1

2020-06-10 04:14

U dont have the chance to be t1 if u are already 30 ,playing competetive like from 3 years and u still the worst player on every team lol

2020-06-10 19:15

Okay what am I supposed to do with this information

2020-06-09 19:11

Astralis Legend , Good Luck in the future bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

2020-06-09 19:19

He was most consistent player on astralis Always last in scoreboard Huge respect

2020-06-09 19:28

Need more players, more coaches.

Add Rallen as well for secondary awp and fragger! Snappi Shipz Ottond Espiranto Rallen

2020-06-09 20:54

Well, hopefully glaive gets back then

2020-06-09 23:38

I guess emi's gone but if snappi will igl I would -letni +JDC
