Sprout add kressy, slaxz-

6/1/2021 - 17:15

Sprout return to their roots with the addition of two German players.

Sprout have officially announced the signing of Marko "⁠kressy⁠" Đorđević and Fritz "⁠slaxz-⁠" Dietrich to round out their starting five, as the squad's active roster had been depleted to three players.

The return to a German lineup had been in the making since the end of 2020, when Sprout's Polish duo, Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki and Paweł "⁠dycha⁠" Dycha, were removed from the active roster last December following a failed bid to qualify for ESL Pro League.

kressy and slaxz- will now don the Sprout jersey after two years in aTTaX

Reports late last year noted kressy and slaxz- were high on Sprout's shortlist, with the rumors of their acquisition by the German organization gaining steam when both players stated that they would not be renewing their contracts with ALTERNATE aTTaX, the team they had been playing for since the beginning of 2019.

Adding to the acquisition of the two new players, Sprout have also expanded their coaching staff by signing Jan "jansen" Westerheide, formerly of BIG Academy, as the team's analyst.

Sprout are now set to return to action with their full German lineup at UNITED Pro Series, although they will then have to play the ESL Meisterschaft playoffs with stand-ins as the incoming duo played the regular season with ALTERNATE aTTaX and are therefore ineligible, before getting the upcoming ESEA MDL season underway.

Sprout's lineup is the following:

Timo "⁠Spiidi⁠" Richter
Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell
Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann
Marko "⁠kressy⁠" Đorđević
Fritz "⁠slaxz-⁠" Dietrich

Niclas "⁠enkay J⁠" Krumhorn (coach)

Paweł "⁠dycha⁠" Dycha (transfer-listed)

2021-01-06 17:29

denis actually improved other than kressy who is the most inconsistant player whiffing all time

2021-01-06 20:11

unexpected

2021-01-06 17:37

Moin, former analyst of BIG Academy. Hidden gem.

2021-01-06 20:48

idk why so many think bad about this roster move i think it's an upgrade honestly

2021-01-06 17:52

slaxz and kressy are good players but they haven't done anything special while at ATTAX. It could turn out to be greater than the sum of its parts but dycha and snatchie were probably Sprout's best players last year, so they will be tough to replace

2021-01-06 17:57

dycha was the best player for sure, but faveN was clearly the 2nd best player recently. Snatchie started off strong, but has been nothing special as of late, sadly.

2021-01-06 18:06

slaxz- is a good player who has a lot of potential and also hasn't reached his peak yet and I think that he can become a strong t1 AWPer with the help of enkay, their analyst and the team. I also think that he is individual as good as snatchie. kressy is also a good player but I doubt that he can be the star player dycha was last year. faveN was their 2nd best player last year and he has also a lot of potential so I hope he can also perform in LAN and in big events. Sprouts problem are denis and spiidi because they were underwhelming the last years and I hope that they play better this year. Overall I think that this roster is worse than the previous roster on paper but now they have more synergy, can speak jerman and also have an analyst who can support them so let's see how they will perform

I really appreciate this insight as I don't get to follow the ins and outs of the German scene!

2021-01-06 18:49

Np mate but these are my personal opinions about the current Sprout roster. I'm hyped to see them in action and I think that slaxz- and faveN can be a good duo and carry games. Have a nice day!

2021-01-06 19:28

stop saying Sproutlings

2021-01-06 17:59

Nt Sproutling

2021-01-06 18:00

Surprise surprise

2021-01-06 18:02

expected I hope they can replicate the same results that they had with syrsoN and k1to, slaxz and kressy are great additions

2021-01-06 18:04

Slaxz>snatchie easily but dycha is much better than kressy. All German should also workout much better, it’ll be interesting to see

2021-01-06 18:16

I agree that dycha is better than kressy but I hope better communication can improve the team overall (not relying in firepower but more in teamplay)

2021-01-06 18:22

2021-01-06 18:14

flair checks out sprout gonna be the best German team 2020

... should somebody tell you something...?

2021-01-06 22:20

Jansonbob gonna be the best analyst

Polish matchfixers finally have been removed

2021-01-06 18:32

wanna see these guys play, this is a scary roster

2021-01-06 18:33

scary roster like BIG looked like at the beginning but look how BIG is now lol

2021-01-06 19:53

Top 4?

2021-01-07 01:42

Really shaky and its online era so obviously but if it was lan big lose

2021-01-07 12:56

online era is gonna continue for years and years covid isnt going anywhere

2021-01-07 23:43

is this sprout ready to become a beautiful flower?

2021-01-06 18:36

actually a great move. excited for their future now. the only thing that could make this roster better (at least theoretically) (while staying completely german) would be -spiidi +krystal

2021-01-06 18:37

12 replies

they both can't kill, but krystal is top10 igl for sure

-Spiidi -denis +krystal +jdc

2021-01-06 19:01

2021-01-06 19:30

lmao krystal is trash

2021-01-06 20:05

Individually yes but tactically he‘s one of the best you can have. He always gets the best out of his team no matter how little he has to work with.

2021-01-06 21:51

spidii is enought as an igl

2021-01-06 22:19

Back when they still had tow b as coach I would have agreed with you but since he left sprout looked very unorganized

2021-01-06 22:25

Yep they should do that...

2021-01-06 19:04

Yeah this would be a good move. But imo they should also remove denis and add Krimbo/JDC if they actually remove spiidi. Maybe they can also build a six mens roster with prosus to give him some more experience. They could play with him in MDL against some weaker teams and use denis against good opponents just like Na'vi did with B1t

2021-01-06 19:34

i dont think prosus deserves a place on a top 3 german team at the moment He should go to UOL first

2021-01-07 13:31

Yeah prosus isn't ready for a top 3 german team at the moment but he would be like a standin and play against teams Sprout can beat with and without denis so that he can gain some experience. I also hope that he won't join UOL because I don't think they are going anywhere without JDC and with the current roster. UOL should've got some BIG Academy players a half year ago and build a new team with JDC and maybe Anddy and Patrick but now I think it's top late. Btw if prosus joins UOL now he will waste a few years in german leagues and ESEA advanced

2021-01-07 13:50

he is like what 17? playing a year or two in german leagues isnt gonna hurt him and playing ESEA advanced would actually be really good for him

2021-01-07 14:00

2021-01-06 18:58

Wow

slaxz > snatchie dycha > kressy Atleast they can speak jerman now

V nice

2021-01-06 19:15

Good pick ups. GOD Kressy with Aimlock

I wonder how it's going to work out gl

2021-01-06 19:16

Both are really good, nice additions from Sprout.

2021-01-06 19:44

xdddddddd

2021-01-06 19:54

JERMANS

2021-01-06 19:56

2021-01-06 19:59

kressy will start whiffing as soon the matches come! him and scrunk wouldnt fit either into the sprout roster Slaxz on the other hand is their syrson jr

2021-01-06 20:01

what a downgrade lol

2021-01-06 21:34

dycha wants to leave--> snatchie isnt that good to keep on an english speaking roster--> 2nd best AWP wants to split up with his team---> pick him and start with a new full german lineup in addition to some decent rifler like kressy( decent, might synergize well with slaxz like shox/Smithzz in the past)

2021-01-06 22:28

downgrade? slaxz is insane. i would only argue that kressy is a downgrade to dycha individually. but now you have no communication barrier anymore and maybe even better chemistry. this move made 100% sense
