GamerLegion bench Adam9130, dobbo

15-4-2021 15:45

The British duo has been removed from the active roster to "help progress the team out of a period of stagnation".

GamerLegion have benched in-game leader Adam "⁠Adam9130⁠" Ahmad and most recent addition William "⁠dobbo⁠" Dobson, the organization has announced. The duo leaves the active roster following a series of middling results in the first quarter of 2021.

"After much consideration we have made the decision to bench both Adam and Dobbo from our active lineup, effective immediately," the team's coach, Ashley "⁠ash⁠" Battye, has stated. "The moves are being made to help progress the team out of a period of stagnation, as we feel the core of the roster has the potential to compete at a much higher level in the not so distant future."

GamerLegion are down to three after the benching of dobbo and Adam

The team currently ranked 56th in the world has lacked good showings as of late, as they most recently placed 11th in ESEA Premier Season 36, escaping the relegation process ahead of the next season, and went out of Shadow League Season 1, Snow Sweet Snow 1, and the Pinnacle Cup early.

Adam9130 joined the team last July alongside Sean "⁠eraa⁠" Knutsson, William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman, and Patrik "⁠Zero⁠" Žúdel as part of an extensive revamp of the GamerLegion roster. dobbo arrived three months later after being transferred from KPI, replacing mezii following the 22-year-old's signing with Cloud9.

With the British duo out of the active roster, GamerLegion are down to just three players:

Alfred "⁠RuStY⁠" Karlsson
Patrik "⁠Zero⁠" Žúdel
Sean "⁠eraa⁠" Knutsson

Ashley "⁠ash⁠" Battye (coach)

Adam "⁠Adam9130⁠" Ahmad (benched)
William "⁠dobbo⁠" Dobson (benched)

Oh no! Anyway...

He didn't play for 2 years out of these 3 though. Info probably incomplete and there's a possibility he was in some mixes, but in HLTV timeline you can see that there was a long pause since somewhere around 2018 to the middle of 2020. As far as I know it's because he decided to get a proper education. That fact probably fucked up his career as a pro player since it will be hard to bounce back to the level he was (HR was a consistent top 15 team that peaked at top 7 if I remember it right), but at least he had options now if this doesn't work out in a long term, since pro player career is really short and you either have to make a ton of money in that period so you can invest or something or you need that alternative.

So that message exchange we had like month ago was fucking lie lol

what message? Huh?

2021-04-15 16:04

I was asking you why GL is keeping dobbo (because i thought he wasnt good enough) and you said they are keeping him. Few weeks later (without much matches played) they do this.

I think I heard about this literally as we spoke - a few days before the aTTx series or the one before that

2021-04-15 18:59

yeah timeline would fit. I know they played like 2 matches after we stopped talking. Also if they get iM and de Corsa who is going to IGL?

2021-04-15 19:06

I am not confirming or denying who they get - but IF it would be the players you mention, RuStY will go back to IGLing - like he did until Mezii left

2021-04-15 19:09

I know you dont want to leak anything naturally i am going off rumors. Also i didnt even know that rusty was calling.

2021-04-15 19:10

They didn't say anything when they signed Adam9130 - but RuStY was calling then. Then when Mezii signed for C9, it meant RuStY would take more responsibility as an individual, and they switched to Adam9130 calling

2021-04-15 19:16

Good ol insider info thanks. I knew adam was calling when they signed dobbo but under the impression that adam was IGL. Well good to know. thanks.

There are plenty of talented players in Romania and your second call besides XELLOW was cosmeeeN? Dont you see he hasnt taken this game seriously for the past 3 years? I expected more from someone whose hobby is being a CSGO analyst.
