degster, Patsi on transfer list as Espada disband

11/1/2021 - 12:42

The remaining three players are no longer under contract with Espada and have now joined the free agent pool.

Espada have parted ways, ending up in three players becoming free agents, Dmitry "⁠S0tF1k⁠" Forostyanko, Dmitriy "⁠Dima⁠" Bandurka and Vladislav "⁠FinigaN⁠" Usov, while the organization has decided to hold on to its two youngest assets, Abdul "⁠degster⁠" Gasanov and Robert "⁠Patsi⁠" Isyanov, who have been marked as transferrable.

The news was first reported by community figure Alexey "⁠OverDrive⁠" Birukov, which HLTV.org has been able to confirm through a source close to the team.

Espada have decided to part ways ahead of the coming season

Espada broke into the top 30 in the world ranking during their time together, peaking at No. 27 in December, and were frequent competitors at online cups such as Nine to Five and Eden Arena Malta Vibes, one of which they won. By the end of the year they managed to win the DreamHack Open December closed qualifier and finished the main event in 5-6th place.

Much of Espada's success was fueled by rising star degster, a player featured in our One for the future series. The 19-year-old, who has been on the team's books since May 2019 and accrued a 1.23 rating during his time in the active lineup, has now become an option for teams scouring the market in search of a talented up-and-coming AWPer ahead of the coming season.

I saw on twitter Deg has been playing with Navi with s1mple returning to rifle

2021-01-11 13:08

they tried that with guardian but afterwards s1mple said in retrospect it wasnt a good idea because he needs to awp to have maximum impact

2021-01-11 13:13

sorry but degster awp >>>> s0mple awp

2021-01-11 13:25

Name checks out

2021-01-11 13:51

nt snax

2021-01-11 16:24

I know bro, but i think Navi will become better TEAM with this move.

2021-01-11 14:28

4 replies

that was the goal with guardian too. have three stars instead of 2 because the third who wasn't s1mple and electronic was awping and that'll help the team. i think degster could be a good move if he was able to keep up his form without being set up as much because s1mple and electronic get the good spots but im skeptical because no matter who plays for NaVi, only s1mple and elec ever perform well consistently

2021-01-11 16:42

Electronic was inconsistent lately. Maybe, motivational issues because of online play.

2021-01-12 15:56

his "inconsistency" is still gonna get him a top 10 placement this year. maybe inconsistent for his numbers in 2018/19 but not inconsistent by any reasonable standard

2021-01-12 18:39

I doubt he will get into top 10. Most of the time he did not perform at top 20 level. Let’s see.

2021-01-15 12:36

They played well in the second half of the year, it's a pity. GL next

degster is nuts tier 1 awper for sure

lmao why they were a solid top30 team

2021-01-11 14:41

Sure lets disband when we have the best player in the history of our org, good lord

2021-01-11 13:20

NaVi buying Degster??

2021-01-11 13:22

Hes an awper, surely not. Does he speak english? They should buy player(s), but not an awper....

He speaks Russian?

2021-01-11 14:42

??? Navi ceo said that they are thinking about exploring their csgo roster, and afterwards what’s the problem to put him on awp on some maps and simple on rifle like vita do it with nivera

2021-01-11 14:56

AWP brings more impact in the current state of CSGO however it doesn't mean that degster can't *potentially* AWP godlike

2021-01-11 16:43

He does

2021-01-11 18:44

Someone save Degster, please

Autimatic (go back to rifling Tim, ya goomba) Flusha Sunny Degster Twistzz also -ChrisJ +Degster would be legendary

Does he speak English?

2021-01-11 18:03

he plays plenty of fpl, his english is prob around s1mple level

2021-01-11 18:16

I see, thanks for the answer!

2021-01-11 23:51

This actually make sense, mouz desperately need sniper...

2021-01-11 21:09

Degster deserves better, mens :(

2021-01-11 14:17

They werent overrated tho, everyone saw them as a 5th or 6th best CIS team. Degster was hard carrying them thats for sure.

2021-01-11 14:24

+1 I loved them

i cheer for degster, finally he will play in decent team !

2021-01-11 13:48

werent they in position that every t3/4 team wants to be?

good luck

2021-01-11 14:14

-flamie +degster not a bad move tbh

2021-01-11 14:19

-chopper - idisbalance +degster +patsi

2021-01-11 14:21

Chopper is igl mens

2021-01-11 14:23

Also a fucking insane player why would you want to replace chopperis

2021-01-11 15:01

right, the whole team is built around him, he can't be replaced atm.

2021-01-11 17:20

- S1mple + DEGSTER

sick and desperate move

2021-01-11 17:21

Good luck in your future teams.

2021-01-11 14:26

-flamie +degster or if you cant solve whos taking the awp then +patsi for the love of god and we dont need b1t

i think he is good enough to play with rifle as well

2021-01-11 15:05

Lol sure, being in a bitch role for navi to serve simple is the best for young talent development.

2021-01-11 15:12

Would be a waste of talent, there is no more room for a third star player on NaVi. He would probably drop off very fast.

i think he can be the magisk of astralis xypex - perfecto glaive - boombl4 device - simple dupreeh - electronic and magisk - degster.

comparing gla1ve to boombl4iq LMAO

role wise yes

2021-01-11 18:23

rip major spot

2021-01-11 14:39

Wtf espada were my favourite wtf noooo

2021-01-11 14:40

#ComeToMouz

???? Enter top 30 - Disband ????

degster mouz`?

degster is really good, he will find a new team soon, Patsi is pretty good to. The disband had to happen sooner or later.

degster to Navi, maybe? They can try him in Flamie's place. Anyway, that's not gonna happen probably. Perhaps Spirit should take degster in place of idisbalance, or as a 6th.

2021-01-11 15:30

Hope Nemiga sign degster, speed4k has been dragging them down

2021-01-11 15:37

2021-01-11 16:01

I pretty sure that degster will go to much better team.

Espada CEO: Degster and Patsi wanted to buy, we couldn't refuse them

2021-01-11 15:43

Dima and degster are really good pickups

2021-01-11 15:59

navi degster Poggers

2021-01-11 16:17

degster to mouz pls

2021-01-11 16:22

Yo les noobs, First of all why?? They finally made a breakthrough and their work started to pay off. Second there’s no suspens for where Degster and Parsi will end up given that Espada is basically Spirit Academy. The question is wether it is sdy or magixx that gets benched along with Idisbalance (they could even make a 6-men lineup, which thinking about it is the most sensible option. Also sensible to release the other 3, it would be a waste of salary as no one will buy them, maybe Dima or Finigan but I doubt the price would have matched the org’s demand.

2021-01-11 16:47

wtf wtf

2021-01-11 17:04

Nice! Degster deserves! So many starts in the making in Russia right now, I wonder when Na'Vi will wake up
