Updates and info about SMB
After Drama between Russ and everyone (I'm calling everyone because according to Izzy and Brave, they all considered sending 1 player which is russ, probably about his toxicity. Then paura and turko joined to russ's side that's why they left.) They've took best players of OXG. OXG had rough times but still xistou and glove was the best ones on that team and they did good with worst turkish jett TORONTO. Izzy and brave is on form atm and xistou is also on shape, they're usually top 3 on frag every game. CyderX is ex cs-go player IGL and I feel like upgrade to paura as IGL but time will show it, only one I'm not sure is glove, I don't think he is upgrade to turko but don't think downgrade also. I'm expecting more at this roster then the old one, they considered sterben before glove but sterben didn't went to meeting, he chosed FF over SMB. It could've been huge if sterben has joined SMB but it is what it is.
This one will be a real test for new SMB to show their strenght and if Acend doesn't ban Ascent easy 1-0 start, old SMB was Ascent gods , I think they've proved it against Gambit(which considered other Ascent gods) as 13-1 on EMEA finals, they are different then old one but still ascent is comfort zone for Turkish teams. Reason of that is similarity between dust_2 and Ascent, every turkish player's main map was dust_2 on cs 1.6, cs GO. We even call the map turk_2 insted of dust_2 you can guees how much they like it. And I'll give some statistics about SMB's Ascent starting from emea ( times when they didn't have any conflict). 13-6 W against FPX, 13-5 against G2 (T start for SMB), 13-1 against GMB, 13-6 against ACE (T startfor SMB). New SMB also only dropped one map on closed, and nobody couldn't reach 2 digits against SMB on Ascent.
They didn't have much time to prepare for all maps at TR qualifiers so Izzy didn't play any raze yet, Izzy on jett is comfort zone for SMB so I'm expecting bind-split picks from Acend, if SMB have prepared for other maps also it will be a banger. GL to both teams but #BURNTHEMALL
