Movistar Riders bench EasTor

28/7/2020 - 20:42

Movistar Riders have put Rajohn "⁠EasTor⁠" Linato on the transfer list ahead of the coming season.

EasTor has announced that he is exploring options outside of Movistar Riders while still under contract with the organization, which HLTV.org has confirmed is a result of the player being sidelined from the team. The benching will be delayed, however, as the 26-year-old will play at least one more event with the Spanish side, the ESEA MDL Season 34 Relegation, set to take place on August 18-20.

EasTor's move to the bench puts an end to a year-long stint in the squad, the AWPer was brought on to replace Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas when the latter departed Movistar Riders to travel back to North America and sign with Cloud9 this time last year.

EasTor will play his last matches with Movistar Riders in August

During his time on the team, EasTor had a 1.02 rating and was part of the roster that made 5-6th place at DreamHack Open Sevilla and the Champions Cup Finals in Malta. He also helped Riders qualify for the ESL One Rio Europe Minor through the event's closed qualifier, although the event never took place due to the coronavirus outbreak. Since, Movistar Riders earned 1225 RMR points and sit 14th in the European standings.

Movistar Riders had a rough first half of 2020, especially as the year advanced, ending 14th in ESEA MDL Season 34 and underperforming in several smaller online tournaments, winning only the local ESL Masters CS:GO Season 7, which prompted the organization to decided to make changes during the off-season.

EasTor will play a handfull of matches with Movistar Riders in the ESEA Season 34 Relegation, where he will try and help the squad secure a spot in the upcoming season of ESEA's top division before ending his time on the team and starting a new chapter in his career.

Movistar Riders are currently:

Alejandro "⁠alex⁠" Masanet
Alejandro "⁠mopoz⁠" Fernández-Quejo Cano
Christian "⁠loWel⁠" Garcia Antoran
Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes

Galder "⁠bladE⁠" Barcena (coach)

Rajohn "⁠EasTor⁠" Linato (benched)

2020-07-28 20:46

that would be actually a cool addition

2020-07-28 20:51

Blastinho, Sausol, Sunpayus and LukeN are the only 4 options imo.

Luken stats are way worst than Eastor stats playing against tier 6 teams on south america I like Sausol but i dont think Alex awping is the solution but idk

LukeN is better than all the 3 Spaniards in Movistar Riders, LOL

2020-07-28 22:10

Just check stats

stats? They say nothing at all. He hard carry FPL both EU and NA before going back to Argentina. Now he plays 70ms and 10% loss due to terrible argentinians isp.

HLTV in a nutshell

2020-07-28 22:38

unlikely, they didn't buy him when he was on mibr's bench they won't do it now that he just signed with 9z

2020-07-28 21:09

MR didnt have a spot then either... Same for Mixwell they wanted to keep giving the oppotunity to Eastor instead of recruiting Mixwell back... I guess that was a bad decision

2020-07-29 09:21

they need awp

2020-07-28 22:05

Meyern can awp

2020-07-28 22:22

I can awp too doesnt mean that Im good at it

2020-07-28 23:54

He was 2º awp on sharks

2020-07-28 23:56

I was 2nd awp on friends

2020-07-28 20:44

WHY

Because he is garbage?

1.02 rating as main AWP KEKW

2020-07-28 21:19

hltv.org/stats/players/4373/EasTor?ranki.. 0.92 against top 30 teams

2020-07-28 21:34

Thats not correct stats, that shows top30 games, which means games when Movistar was in top30 against other top30 teams. I mean he is bad, just to know what that stats shows actually

2020-07-30 14:30

Nah he wasn't good tbh

good luck istoooooooor

TheClaran, Vasili, SunPayus, Blastinho? Or international Awper?

For me is one of the best options by far but i dont think they will sign him

2020-07-28 21:42

pls do somethin on your community i bet that with good offer we goes ! my opinion ofc , after he departs with the guys of saw he cant play with anymore team anyone are on he's level on the other teams to he have some solid team

2020-07-28 21:45

man wtf did I just read lmao. PS: put more tobacco on that joint next time

2020-07-29 15:11

Smooya?Larsen?idk, but nop, english is not a problem in riders

2020-07-31 10:08

I think this is good for both ways

2020-07-28 20:45

2020-07-29 09:25

Why?

Playing as awper he were always worst rated player in team

2020-07-28 21:12

worst rated player as awper, doing stupid mistakes

2020-07-28 21:55

+meyern unlucky mixwell is in valo, would be a sick roster

mixwell was garbage in Movi

2020-07-28 20:49

Meyern just signed for 9z 1 month ago and they payed a lot for him so he wont leave (and he isnt what riders need, he isnt an awper) Luken is more posible but i still dont like him, even worst rated than Eastor last year playing against tier 20 teams

2020-07-28 21:15

Should be mopoz. Would like to see lucas1 joining

EasTor is bad as an AWPer. mopoz is good as support.

2020-07-28 20:47

mopoz is entry fragger wtf dhsahdahsd

2020-07-28 20:48

Mopoz is entry fragger, he's fine

Mopoz against tier 1/2 teams played like a beast, Eastor only did it good against tier 4

2020-07-28 21:17

mopoz >>> eastor

2020-07-28 21:56

Can he speak Spanish? I know Portuguese and Spanish are really close and you can learn the other in few months but, you know...

2020-07-29 09:27

Lucas1? Meyern?

2020-07-28 21:28

Sunpayus would be a solid pickup, not great, but solid. Don't think there's any other player in the Spanish scene who could push them to that tier 1.5/1 . Maybe they get an Argentinian or Brazilian tho.

+Sunpayus or +Sausol are the best options to pickup right now, they're F/A , if they haven't already signed for other team ofc, because Alex is good with the AWP too, and in this meta the players are less dependents of to do the same function / role and there could be a role change more easily imo

2020-07-28 21:27

The best option is stadodo, but he wont leave saw

2020-07-28 21:50

I dont think that stadodo is the best option to choose right now, I think that they'll choose blastinho or sunpayus, or they'll sign Luken/Lucas1/sausol and alex would be main awp

2020-07-29 03:31

I honestly would love to see Smooya here but sadly they communicate in Portuguese and/or Spanish I believe

we don't

2020-07-28 23:03

Punheta de Bacalhau it´s so freaking good dude Idk, who gives this name but he is a genious.

2020-07-28 23:22

bro do you know what punheta is in brasil?

2020-07-28 23:23

Of course man, we use the same meaning of the word

2020-07-28 23:27

you guys are genius

2020-07-28 23:29

So there's a possibility of two different punheta de bacalhau? One gross and one good? (I hate fish)

2020-07-29 00:01

Only legends know what wife's love

2020-07-29 01:00

I think it is much easier for an Argentine to speak Portuguese than for a Brazilian to speak Spanish

Steel speaks Spanish good enough I watched some streams of his and he was ok

2020-07-29 09:29

I've also seen a video of steel speaking Spanish, a little over 2 months ago that came in to move

2020-07-29 09:30

That's actually kinda true tbh

2020-07-29 09:28

SMOOOOOOOOOYA

2020-07-28 22:13

thats a low rating by awp abuser standards, cya in mm man because its gg for ya.

+Luken? Mmmm

Would be nice

2020-07-28 21:05

Is there a report on this?

you gotta be fucking me. Isn't he 18 y/o? don't tell me he is playing Gaylorant

2020-07-28 22:02

No, he said that he lost his motivation and will focus on study but maybe will comeback on future

good for him (i guess). He could've stayed on cs for 2 more years farming some cash and then going to college

2020-07-28 22:49

retired :c

2020-07-28 21:07

They deleted the article...

2020-07-28 21:08

then how is the page still up? I mean, shouldn't it redirect to a 404 error message?

2020-07-28 21:11

Should, Lucas have done something wrong...

Noo, mixwell is now on G2

so many tense_1983s here wtf

Smooya incoming.

2020-07-28 21:18

pls make it happen, they are friends and smooya cant play in NA rn so why not? but the communication is a problem

I remember him playing out of his mind every time vs BIG, didn't watch other matches of him. Was he much worse vs other teams or what? lol

EasTor play well verus teams that are worst than Movistar or, he is very motivated to play (like RTR). When he is playing vs top 30 teams in hltv he is not playing csgo...

wprst rated player as awper

2020-07-28 21:58

Only good important games I remember from him this year tbh

2020-07-28 23:52

I would like to see mixwell in this line up again. Sadly he joins G2 on Valorant. But I think Sunpaius or vasili will take Movistars to another level

Dude is really not my first pick to kick, so i am wondering who are they getting. Is there any good AWPer speaking spanish? I mean mixwell is playing vaLULrant (and he wasn't awp anyway lately, right?).

he is the worst on the team rn , they should get sunpayus or blastinho imo

2020-07-28 21:40

why??

+fox pls ! after departs with guys of saw anyteam can play on he's level

2020-07-28 21:37

2020-07-28 21:59

Movistar top30 in 2020 they said...

2020-07-28 22:00

He was not bad, but he semt to be not enough for Movistar Riders. I think it's good decision that they bench him. I think Movistar Riders should take stadodo in his place, he seems like maybe even the best player in Portugal rn. I think with this change Movistar Riders can be a really good team.

FUCKING GOD they wait so long to kick this bot

2020-07-29 02:18

2020-07-29 10:27

hahahaha. nice bait but way too surrealistic

2020-07-29 11:23

Honestly I would love to see fox in... MOVISTAR! And I'm not even his biggest fan, as you can see by my badge. I know this will NEVER happen but it would be great for both parties. Despite his age, if fox were included in a structured team he would DELIVER. 100% and communication would not be a problem ATM is currently WASTING his last days in Giants washed lineup... :/

Movistar is looking for fresh new talent as Awper there is a chance up to 70 to 30 than they will sign up a international player (latam or portu/spanish speaker)...

2020-07-29 13:27

i totally understand because fox would be a short term option imo sunpayus is the right guy for movistar fi they want to keep full spanish

2020-07-29 17:18

Maybe Land1n to replace him? it would be a great addition to Movistar. Land1n is very experienced and is great at AWP. it would be cool to see him playing alongside Steelega
