Xizt and kreaz to stand in for Gen.G in Flashpoint

3/11/2020 - 21:15

The Swedish duo will temporarily round out Gen.G's roster for the upcoming $1,000,000 tournament.

Gen.G has temporarily secured the services of the currently teamless Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson, who last played for Syman, and secured Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström on loan from Dignitas ahead of Flashpoint 2, the North American organisation has announced.

The former NIP veteran will return to action for the first time since he was benched in Dignitas two months ago, while kreaz will play his first official matches since he attempted to qualify for DreamHack Open Fall with MBAPPEEK, a mixteam which boasted Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács, Georgi "⁠SHiPZ⁠" Grigorov, and Kamen "⁠bubble⁠" Kostadinov.

Xizt and kreaz will step in for Gen.G in the second season of Flashpoint

Gen.G's squad has been incomplete ever since Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele and Sam "⁠s0m⁠" Oh left the lineup in early October in order to pursue a career in VALORANT together in NRG alongside Chet "⁠Chet⁠" Singh.

Late last month, rumors linked Gen.G with an attempt to sign Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas, but just over a week later it was also reported that EXTREMUM were pondering the opportunity to create a new Europe-based team containing the entire core still contracted to 100 Thieves, including the 23-year-old, Aaron "⁠AZR⁠" Ward, and Sean "⁠Gratisfaction⁠" Kaiwai.

Gen.G will play the $1,000,000 tournament with the following roster:

Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta
Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen
Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand
Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström (stand-in)
Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson (stand-in)

Chris "⁠Elmapuddy⁠" Tebbit (coach)

lmao ok good luck anyway

Welcome to hltv

2020-11-07 13:49

All flashpoint partner teams suck. So Xizt will fit right in. The only good teams are the 3 invited ones.

2020-11-04 21:43

very cool

I think BnTeT said that koosta is IGLing now

2020-11-03 22:10

Yeah. Koosta is the IGL, so Xizt is useless on this team lol.

Xizt without IGLing >> Xizt IGLing. Remember Faze.Xizt

2020-11-03 22:42

ah yes when he was 10 years younger and was also a good fragger I remember

2020-11-03 23:05

Wtf??? 2018, 10 years ago?

2020-11-04 00:14

2020-11-04 00:18

2020-11-04 10:29

Like #84 said lol. Koosta have been the IGL for 2+ months.

2020-11-03 22:27

Koosta?? Igl??? The dude is easily the dumbest pro

2020-11-03 22:50

Yes Koosta. He took over the IGL role when Daps left.

2020-11-03 23:08

Doesn't mean he's doing a good job.

2020-11-04 15:16

But he does. GenG just need to sign 2 more players asap, thats the problem.

2020-11-04 15:27

Yeah get_right better

2020-11-04 03:21

They're now EU.

>Poland >EU Pick one

2020-11-03 21:44

Indonesia is EU and Poland is Asia

2020-11-04 06:43

What??

Ahahha out of everyone they could get they got fucking xizt who was basically kicked from a retirement home for being too bad and kreaz hahaha

2020-11-03 21:16

Agreed. So stupid

2020-11-03 21:35

Kreaz is not that bad, xizt on other hand...

2020-11-03 21:43

compared to Xizt kreaz is goat

kreaz is deffinetly servicable in T2/T1 xizt is ....

2020-11-03 23:32

Yeah kreaz was able to beat vitality standing-in for krimz, and he played quite well. Now xizt... man

2020-11-03 23:31

Might as well be

2020-11-04 06:36

Dude i had a wet dream of sucking xizts dick, does this mean anything

2020-11-04 06:38

Yes, it means you are finally embracing Xizt. You are about 28% until becoming a true Xizt fan.

2020-11-04 06:40

What happens at 100

2020-11-04 06:41

Nobody knows yet. I'm not quite worthy of such an honor.

2020-11-04 06:42

wtfffffffff unexpected

wtf my flair mens

xizt did stand in for pretty much every team lul

so did nato

2020-11-04 00:07

ixde

HOW IS THIS GUY STILL GETTING PAID WTF

2020-11-03 21:20

Pretty strange. So Extremium rumors are more true to the root now with Liazz not being announced and they arent really reliable on Koosta`s IGLing with XIzt in there.

In my opinion letting koosta IGL is a bad Idea from the start. I feel like he does not have enough experience on the top level of cs

2020-11-03 21:28

But getting in Xizt to do it is not that great of a decision either. He is basically a has been now who isn't even good enough for a retirement home.

2020-11-03 21:50

Yes xizt Is also a very bad pick

Interesting pick but good luck :)

Gen.G no obo I not understanding this

bro wtf u have koosta igling already. Only thing i can think of is xizt is helping koosta to learn how to igl

2020-11-03 21:21

Xzist was expected tbh

Extremum rumors are true(?)

2020-11-03 21:23

Wheres obo and liazz

Koosta will farm at this tournament.

2020-11-03 21:24

2020-11-03 21:32

As standin They could have gotten following players, everyone individually better and less washed up: OBO Smooya Azr Liaz Gratisfaction Guardian (not half as washed as xizt) Oskar (still not as washed) Get_right (washed but individually still better than xizt) Fer Fallen Hell; even taco Also innocent, Maikelele (yes I’m getting there) or some random danish dude

2020-11-03 21:25

Better than xizt definitely, better than kreaz nah

kreaz has been playing really well in FPL lately so I can see why they got him, and I feel xizt was their best option they had in such a short time frame, because montecristo said that they are starting to pressure orgs to announce their rosters. Because of this, they don't have time to negotiate contracts with Complexity or 100 thieves, and they already wanted liazz which obviously isn't going to happen because of extremum. out of fer fallen and taco, I'd pick kreaz over taco anytime and auti has said multiple times he wants to stay as an awper

Smooya has said he will literally play for anyone lol

He even said on Stream that he would love to play for GenG along with Liazz, like it's his dream situation in current scene.

2020-11-03 21:52

he said he want to be the Main AWPer for any team not a Secondary AWPer/Rfiler

2020-11-04 02:55

ah yes , i missed that detail.

2020-11-04 06:25

i gotchu from the back lol

2020-11-04 12:43

full asain stack, nice

2020-11-03 21:26

Gl have fun

nice

2020-11-03 21:27

LOL

Xizt will be the worst player at the tournament. Legija will also be playing at this tournament. and yes, you read that right. Imagine PAYING MONEY to loan Xizt....

2020-11-03 21:29

omg i forgot about legija jesus fucking christ

2020-11-03 21:42

I thought that was the dumbest roster move in a very long time, Gen.G making me realize otherwise... I cant believe were going to see more of Legija lmao idk how tf he convinced Envy to let him play

2020-11-03 21:56

-xizt+grux bntet igl

2020-11-03 21:30

Oh no

xizt KEKW

they should have played in 3

2020-11-17 04:39

kreaz throw game again lol

2020-11-03 22:30

As long as Xizt doesn't IGL he's pretty alright. He often had good reads, so he makes for a good secondary, and his experience can never harm. If he's been practicing his gameplay he'll do fine as a stand-in.

2020-11-03 22:40

+1 bro agree

2020-11-04 05:47

Yea, he won some majors with NIP back in 2018.

2020-11-04 16:26

What the absolute fuck

2020-11-03 22:43

key word: stand-ins So basically they don't have enough time to negotiate for the players they really wanted. Weird roster.. not sure what to expect

2020-11-03 22:47

2020-11-03 23:00

Omg zzz , just see at flashpoint how gen.g play at EU

2020-11-03 23:14

Washed up igl and who?

2020-11-03 23:17

Very weird that they got xizt considering they've said ever since daps left that koosta is focusing on IGLing. They couldve easily gotten a good fragger like smooya, obo, innocent etc If that was the case even if just for standin

Xizt is top 1 fragger thats why

2020-11-04 00:39

Xizt Lets go!

2020-11-04 01:21

2020-11-04 03:48

I think the whole cloud9 destroying transfer markets certainly makes it tough for team out there. Probably plenty of org, knowing the predicament Gen.G is in, are demanding ton loads of money than they would've otherwise asked. Instead of succumbing, Gen.G probably decided to held back. But damn son... hopefully we can get the FaZe.Xizt form from IEM Sydney 2018. Otherwise, God help us!

2020-11-04 01:50

I was all for daps leaving the team...But losing s0m was a bummer. The kid still had a lot of potential. I think Liaz would have been the best fit. Too bad they couldnt secure him,

2020-11-04 01:52

Why is xizt always standing in Is he like $0 or something

2020-11-04 02:36

No teams just know that with Xizt they can win anything and everything

I guess the 💯T core are staying together then.

2020-11-04 02:42

They go to Russia ?

2020-11-04 02:46

Somewhere in Europe, guess we'll have to wait and see.

2020-11-04 11:34

feels bad for autimatic lol. its all over again the stand in shit similar to back in C9

2020-11-04 02:49

This time he has Xizt though

2020-11-04 03:49

Haha ur boy Anime4life here confirming that GenG will become top 1 now that they have seen the light of Xizt~

oh man why not gtr

2020-11-04 08:22

Shoulda picked up Xizt and GTR

2020-11-04 08:49

There were tons of played they could pick as stand in and they choose the dogshit xizt, my fckin god. Probably they want him to igl since they have nobe right, now, but they should just let bntet igl with his trash english instead of bringing a fucking xizt... gegg gonna bomb tournament like furia did.

2020-11-04 10:21

No Xizt will single handedly carry them to ez major~

2020-11-04 20:53

2020-11-04 20:55

what's last tournament he won? 0/8

2020-11-04 20:59

talking smack about a multiple major winner, you’re literally trolling

2020-11-04 21:04

Multiple? More like 1 time major winner who hasn't averaged a 1.00 rating for over 5 YEARS now. nt but 0/8

2020-11-04 21:10

Gggg We need an all-Asian team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2020-11-04 16:10
