ego undergoes major shuffle

April 12, 2016

Internal changes are plenty in ego, sparked by former scout faithless being unable to play due to changing personal circumstances. In the hunt for a new player, ego have picked up gnat, last seen on Gossip Girl, who placed second in the ozfortress summer cup and was in a strong place to be in the top half of premier this season. Unfortunately, just before the season started gossip girl disbanded, leaving a number of players, including gnat, as free agents.

Gnat comes into ego on the roamer spot formerly held by aporia, who is making the move to pocket. Aporia has a wealth of experience playing the game at the top level, including a short stint on pocket in the OWL 14 team Pump n' Dump.

yuki, who was playing pocket beforehand has now moved to the scout spot left vacant by faithless, a position he played on OWL 13 team Cash Money. He was also noted for playing with runaway 5 in ESEA Invite season 14, proving himself a strong scout even playing in a high ping environment.

ego captain yuki had the following to say:

It's a shame we had to say goodbye to faithless. He is a strong player and a good guy, so his presence will be missed. In his absence, I'll be taking up the scout mantle, welcoming gnat to our roster as our new roamer, and having aporia relegated (hehe) to pocket. I'm actually quite excited for this roster, as I feel on paper it has a lot of potential. Our combo is extremely experienced, and with my tendency to play close to the combo as scout will overall have our combo as a huge asset to our future games. gnat is also no stranger to roamer, and he's a prospect I've had my eye on for a while if aporia ever stopped playing/swapped roles. We look forward to playing out the rest of the season with our updated roster.

ego is now:

  • Scout: yuki
  • Scout: namey
  • Roamer: gnat
  • Pocket: aporia
  • Demoman: term0
  • Medic: Jersh

from what ive seen, gnat is pretty bad but the roster change was sick overall, because a) yuki is an upgrade on scout and b) now termo is pocket demoing and just slaying

and as for the gnat point, pudddy is basically the only roamer in au so I dont really blame them

idk how you can say this, like do you honestly think yuki would pick up someone who was anything less than completely deserving of playing for his team?

clearly you haven't seen gnat play or know, like smith said how committed hes been to the game.

I'm glad to see the horde of aussies descend on me for sharing my opinion of a player's skill, knowing nothing about how great of a guy said person is (which is completely irrelevant)

this is the team that went to i49 with antwa, and played with bulk on medic for like a month before the season, it's not like every single decision has been flawless

plus, there are like 0 roamers in au so even if this was the best possible option that doesn't guarantee anything

its not that at all, you posted something which is just completely untrue.

of course it doesn't guarantee everything, but you simply stating "gnat is pretty bad" in your op would naturally result in people saying he isn't.

how good someone is is relevant

when I say "gnat is pretty bad", take it as "gnat is pretty bad if these guys want to beat jasmine tea/do well at i58"

in that context, I fail to see how it's "completely untrue"

he wasn't great but he wasn't bad. doesn't help his net is godawful.

Has a good knowledge of the game so the transition wouldn't have been too hard. We ended up settling on Jersh - bulk didn't seem super keen on playing either tbh

Not going to lie, the banter is probably the reason I'm most excited for the pre-playoffs roundtable panel
