Some have speculated he will move into a coaching role or will remain on the roster in a substitute role

What has followed has been a stuttering start, losing their first game with Kostylev on board to a compLexity line-up supposedly down the pecking order in America, and then losing to the second-best CSGO team in Brazil, Tempo Storm, in the IEM Katowice qualifiers.

Most of that failure has been placed on the in-game leader Eric “adreN” Hoag, whose performances would be best described as erratic. Hoag has led something of a charmed life when it comes to being replaced, having dodged the bullet a number of times despite pressure from fans and pundits alike. However , the organisation will now be swapping him out for Suen, a CSGO player many believe already to be one of the csgo skins best talents the region has produced in some time.

What will happen to Hoag isn’t clear. Some have speculated he will move into a coaching role or will remain on the roster in a substitute role. Regardless of that detail, his time in the starting line-up is most certainly at an end. As much as it pains me to see Kenny go, it also gives me a great bit of pride– to see how he’s grown as a person and as a player these past several years, and knowing the opportunity he has in front of him now.
