Firstly, this transfer allows the team to continue playing RMR in the American region, and secondly, <i>jks<\/i> is a fairly experienced player who can perform his roles clearly without hogging the spotlight. However, he hasn\u2019t played competitive CS since October 2023 and didn\u2019t look very confident in CS2 back then. Additionally, the distribution of roles between him and <i>NAF<\/i> remains uncertain. <i>jks <\/i>is already 28 years old, so the transfer addresses immediate needs but won\u2019t build a long-term foundation.<\/p><p>The acquisition of a new sniper is even more questionable. European Tier 2-3 organizations often accused <i>ultimate&#8217;s <\/i>former team of match-fixing. It seems <i>PashaBizeps<\/i>, who was once a streamer in the Liquid structure and mentored the young player, had a hand in this transfer.

If the peak of star Gambit players and subsequent Tier-1 transfers seemed logical, this roster is far from those ambitions. Communication difficulties with management, the American fanbase, and other commercial aspects can\u2019t be realized through these players.<\/p><p>Moving to the gameplay, <i>hooch\u2019s<\/i> departure, who helped assemble this lineup, also looks like a sort of \u201cwhite flag\u201d and an unwillingness to take responsibility for the results.<\/p><p>The main question remains the interaction between the coach and the captain, as this aspect was considered the main pitfall in the previous roster\u2019s failure. <i>Groove<\/i> has proven he can work with youth, but this benefit is only relevant for <i>ICY<\/i>. <i>Interz<\/i> is a return to basics, just a safe pick, and it\u2019s unlikely a similar rapport will develop with <i>HeavyGod<\/i> due to his character. In gameplay terms, <i>Interz<\/i> probably won\u2019t perform better than before, a level that was insufficient, leading to his benching.<i> ICY and HeavyGod<\/i> are promising players, but likely aren\u2019t ready to meet immediate challenges.<\/p><p>Questions also remain about <i>BoomIb4 and Ax1le\u2019s<\/i> current form, making it hard to give an optimistic answer. It seems this roster will require a lot of work and we\u2019ll see many Tier 2-3 games, with higher-level performances through the BLAST partnership, but no talk of HLTV top-10. Management fully trusted the players, didn\u2019t risk with an international roster, and perhaps wrongly held on to <i>BoomIb4 and Ax1le<\/i>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75ae006 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"75ae006\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35dfe44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"35dfe44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.
