sdy to miss Monte's upcoming matches, Marix to step in*

5/6/2023 - 18:29

The Ukrainian is taking an early break with the scene-wide player break on the horizon.

Update 17:29 : Monte have announced on Twitter that ex-OG Academy and current OG back-up rifler Max "⁠Marix⁠" Kugener will replace Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev while the Ukrainian in on leave.

It has been announced that sdy will be taking a break from competing with Monte for their upcoming matches going into the player break.

The announcement from Monte stated that sdy "is taking a break after a grueling season to come back with renewed vigor," and no information has yet been revealed about who will play in his stead.

sdy was influential in Monte's BLAST Paris Major campaign

Monte are set to compete in the upcoming Elisa Invitational Spring online tournament after receiving an invite from the tournament organizer directly into the quarter-finals. Their match is scheduled for June 8, so the team will need to find a stand-in by that time.

Elisa Invitational Spring 2023
08/06/2023	Monte 15:30 EYEBALLERS	Match

sdy joined Monte at the start of this year and has been a key component of their rise from tier-two obscurity to the upper echelons of the competitive scene. Taking up the in-game leadership reins, he helped the team terrorize the tier two online scene from the outset, even going on to win ESL Challenger League and several CCT events before going on an unexpected playoff run at the BLAST.tv Paris Major.

In Paris sdy helped his squad battle through the Challengers Stage with a 3-2 record, serving as the standout player in their qualification bout with paiN. There they shocked the world by qualifying for the playoffs, and again sdy was instrumental as he topped the scoreboard in Monte’s 2-0 rout of Natus Vincere to seal a quarter-finals berth.

GamerLegion proved too much for Monte in the playoffs themselves, but it was still a fantastic run for the team and sdy finished as their second-highest rated player over the Legends Stage and playoffs. Their top-eight finish saw the team rise to No. 10 in the world rankings.

sadge, but expected. they have been playing so much that not suprised he's taking a break

everything's fine :)

Ye s1mple can blame sdy for the 2-0 in Major

2023-06-05 20:19

Maybe, if you see the rates, but he tried and tried, that's the weight of being a S1mple's teammate, but he never became the star that all wanted. But hey, pressure is what make diamonds. He was very good in the Major and I think is thanks to the time on NaVi's roster. I'm a NaVi fan but I hope sdy to be way better player than now.

Sdy and Blad3 in one team? nah...

Why not?

2023-06-05 18:14

They dislike each other you forgot? Sdy was saying that Blad3 is arrogant for example

2023-06-05 18:16

and if we were to judge things by results on the Major - we are inclined to agree with SDY. Cause blad3 is pushing electronic to be the IGL while SDY was set up to fail. Just to bounce back and show that he's a great IGL. But that's just one angle, either way we can argue that this is a huuuuuuuuuge miss by Blad3

2023-06-05 19:10

I think that Blad3 just wanted to give strats and everything and Elec was the best for him and Sdy had position that made him worse but he gained experiance

2023-06-06 02:30

I somehow missed it. Oh well.

2023-06-05 21:17

Well Blad3 is arrogant thats s1mple :D

2023-06-06 12:19

I mean s1mple wanted sdy on Navi so..... S1mple is pretty much locked there xd

2023-06-06 13:14

SDY TO LIQUID

2023-06-05 15:16

Would be amazing

2023-06-05 15:49

Would be EG 2.0

2023-06-05 16:19

You could put a litterally toddler as Liquids fifth and they still wouldn't ever sink to EGs

2023-06-06 08:13

they could even add me and be better

2023-06-06 13:27

Would be interesting

2023-06-05 17:00

boros fan kekW cant wait(no) when Monte will perform well on a t1 tournament once again, or demqq will turn on his maphack again?

2023-06-05 15:42

I wonder when will g2 start actually performing at a major though or will NiKo need to igl again?

2023-06-05 15:45

g2 at least perform on another tier 1 tournaments, and at least they play them. not CCT)

But still they can't do shit at a major though

2023-06-05 15:51

oh ok, monte can do shit, 0-2 vs GL with both maps being smashed is real shit

2023-06-05 15:54

Yeah and G2 losing to t2 teams is also real Maybe pray for ur beloved team to not lose to these so called "t2" teams everytime at a major?

2023-06-05 15:58

when did i tell the opposite? dont see any point to continue this dialogue

2023-06-05 16:02

That same "GL" also eliminated G2 from iem Rio major last year so it's somewhat contradictory

2023-06-05 16:08

Any day of the week: Niko > chockros Monesy > fluke2k Jks > radarqq Hunter > kraslul HooXi da king >>>>> SoDeadYogurt Sry <3

2023-06-05 16:26

Kinda ironical that you mention "niko > chockros" even though niko is the biggest choker out there

2023-06-05 19:27

He even chockes better then botos :D But yeah, I should ve mentioned it like "Flukeros and chocke2k"

2023-06-06 22:37

True

2023-06-07 03:59

and yet the major is where every player wants to peak. g2 chocked and monte didnt

2023-06-05 18:55

Yep, monte didnt choke on major, but choked 5 days later vs Spirit Academy hahahahahaha

2023-06-06 07:32

still 2nd to chocking at major as you agree on. so you agreer on g2 biggest chocker and it think we can stop there kiddo

2023-06-06 14:33

Ok, cant wait to see Monte win 10 more CCT 322 tournaments, cause we wont see them after EPL on tier1 event ever

2023-06-06 14:35

im happy that you have something to look forward on in life. im not jealous about the topic tho, more shows how sad as a person iu are

tf u saying, so if i dont care of tier 2-3 team means i have a sad life, google that causal relationship is

2023-06-06 14:40

"Ok, cant wait to see Monte win 10 more CCT 322 tournaments" = dont care?

2023-06-06 15:21

yeah man, i can see the way u like them, so i could not waste an opportunity to troll u a bit

2023-06-06 15:23

nt, i dont

2023-06-06 15:28

oh, ok. at least i tried

2023-06-06 15:35

and failed, just like g2 @ the major

2023-06-06 17:40

nt, i dont care

2023-06-07 08:25

sorry to say, but 0/8. it was you saying so :P "oh, ok. at least i tried"

2023-06-07 08:52

This post isnt about G2, so not sure what are you talking about

neither is it about a tier 2 team.

2023-06-05 15:20

If you can use a T3 team's flair, then they for sure can write about T2 teams

HLTV is a CS news website, they are entitled to post an article about everything relative to CS, tier 2 or otherwise. If SDY is taking a break from MONTE, that's pretty relevant news.

2023-06-05 15:22

Flair.. . Regards Edit: general grammatical corrections.

2023-06-05 15:48

Yeah, I noted the flair, of course.

2023-06-05 16:01

flair

2023-06-05 15:25

calm down, nobody talking here about g-tier2

2023-06-05 15:40

G2 is the shitties team in the scene

2023-06-05 17:12

Zeus or Edward will stand-in

2023-06-05 15:19

wonder who the sub will be

2023-06-05 15:21

Marix most likely

2023-06-05 15:24

Please no XD He was so bad in Sprout.I would rather have anybody XD

2023-06-05 16:57

+Jerry He will continue the good Igling sdy has been doing.

2023-06-05 15:30

nice bait, it's strange why a bunch of raged ua guys didn't come to you

2023-06-05 15:53

I wanted to, but you're already raging enough in the comments section 😅

2023-06-05 16:50

What is that hand sign on the first picture?

2023-06-05 15:41

Exposed

2023-06-05 16:51

Not a soul cares about Monte roster moves.

I do. Guess I don't have a soul then.

2023-06-05 16:28

sup ginger

2023-06-05 17:02

I was expecting that, not disappointed.

2023-06-05 20:32

Glad I could help <3

2023-06-05 20:39

You do care enough to write about it

2023-06-05 16:52

after SDY got set up to fail in NaVi while they are pushing electronic to be an IGL just for SDY to bounce back in Monte and do well on the only tournament that really matters - it's more reasonable to care for monte than to care for navi

2023-06-05 19:12

Considering this thread has 102 comments at the time of my comment, I would assume your assumption is incorrect

2023-06-05 23:56

Says a guy with dead scene ayyyy go to valorant kid

2023-06-06 00:04

trial for Navi you mean

2023-06-05 16:14

comeback soon <3

2023-06-05 16:17

stand in fear

There's problem now.Maybe they will find a good replacement for now.Maybe Jackz?

1/8 at least try cmon

Wdym try? I try to find someone to fit into sdy positions XD Sdy was a Jackz type of player

2023-06-05 17:55

i admit i didn't watch too much games of monte... but wasn't Jackz entry?

2023-06-05 19:55

Jackz in G2 was a guy that can do everything. I think that Jackz is the same type of player like Sdy and he would fit perfectly plus his personality.

2023-06-05 19:58

sdy to navi confirmed ez 10 CS2 majors

2023-06-05 17:04

+fessor

2023-06-05 17:42

2023-06-05 18:46

starix aka biggest maloros in post-soviet cs scene?

2023-06-05 18:58

Wdym? Lmbt also coached ForZe and many Ukrainian players play or played with Russian team for such a long time

2023-06-05 19:02

lmbt didn't cooperate with russians after the war. but it's ok, I see you are maloros as well. Have a nice day <3

2023-06-05 19:04

How i am maloros? XD U act like they fought IRL XD

2023-06-05 18:50

2023-06-05 19:05

2023-06-05 19:25

marix oh
