When Fnatic were dominant in 2014-2015, everyone needed to match them in skill. Once Natus Vincere and Luminosity Gaming leveled up in early 2016, it was proclaimed that tactical Counter-Strike was back and the skill-heavy style of the past would no longer do. The implication here is that macro developments – probably best defined as shifts in the winning meta (acronym for Most Effective Tactic Available) – of the scene dictate micro-level moves by the teams themselves.

Once <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/5953/natus-vincere"><b>Natus Vincere</b></a></span> and <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/19825/luminosity-gaming"><b>Luminosity Gaming</b></a></span> leveled up in early 2016, it was proclaimed that tactical Counter-Strike was back and the skill-heavy style of the past would no longer do. The implication here is that macro developments – probably best defined as shifts in the winning meta (acronym for Most Effective Tactic Available) – of the scene dictate micro-level moves by the teams themselves.<br />  <br />  And there could, admittedly, be something to that in specific cases – but it is not what generally dictates roster moves. Teams always start from the micro. The macro landscape is the result of all the micro moves added together. Let us explore in more detail.<br />  <br />  If you were building a team in a video game where you get to allocate skill-points between various character traits, such as communication, aim, positioning, and smarts, you absolutely could try to shift abilities from one part of the game to another in a fluid way that would allow you to almost overnight go from a tactical powerhouse, such as the old Na`Vi team of 2016, to the second coming of the current <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/19805/faze-clan"><b>Faze Clan</b></a></span> roster. But in the real world, which is where the top Counter-Strike teams operate, at least until Nick Bostrom proves the simulation theory, player moves are limited by multiple factors.<br />  <br />  Unless the team in question is one of the most wanted destinations, timing works out with changes taking place right when teams are shuffling their rosters, and the organizations involved are willing to pay up to buy players out from their contracts, there are seldom many options to choose from. Players are happy in improving teams, the timing is off, or perhaps the buyouts are simply too high. And even when the stars do align, the plans may still not work out – there are a lot of moving parts to roster moves, especially when multiple teams are involved. Fans only get a glimpse of this from transfers that are reported, but do not end up happening.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/0000648783246f046a09.jpg" alt="Olof "olofmeister" kajbjer for faze clan." /><figcaption>Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer for Faze Clan.</figcaption></figure><br />  <br />  Without an easy way to alter the current players’ skillsets or the ability hand-pick the ideal players to fit any roles as wanted on their rosters, teams are faced with the reality of having to look at the options that are available to them. This is where the micro view comes in, with the big picture largely irrelevant – a non-driving factor. It is a classic case where in theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, they are not.<br />  <br />  Any team making changes will, first and foremost, attempt to address their weaknesses. Rarely is beating the most skilled team in the world done easiest by matching them in skill – and it would not be possible for most teams anyway. Likewise, one is not best off trying to beat the strongest tactical team by becoming an even better such squad. Teams need to play the way that fits their roster best, whether that means going against, or with, the prevailing meta. And that most often means going against it, simply because the team best at the current meta are likely to be the best at it.<br />  <br />  Scenarios can still exist where a team is only focused on beating a single opponent, and they might be concerned with relative strength in a specific area to them, meaning such an arms race-type view may prevail. In fact, some might suggest, partially correctly, that this is what drove FaZe to build their superteam after the losses against <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/20285/sk-gaming"><b>SK Gaming</b></a></span> started piling up. Sometimes a team’s micro needs and the perceived macro view of the scene overlap, and the roster move makes perfect sense from the point of view of the prevailing meta. But those instances tend to be the exceptions, even before considering what other options the teams realistically had.<br />  <br />  Recently, SK moved away from <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/302/taco">Epitácio <b>"TACO"</b> de Melo</a></span>, a very accomplished player who had built up years of team-play and communication habits with the team, for an upgrade in skill to <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/325/stewie2k">Jake <b>"Stewie2k"</b> Yip</a></span> – with setbacks elsewhere, at least in the short-term, due to him being a non-Portuguese speaker. As the dominoes fell, <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/6242/cloud9"><b>Cloud9</b></a></span> opted to add a tactician in <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/128/fns">Pujan <b>"FNS"</b> Mehta</a></span> , despite suffering significantly in skill in comparison to Stewie. In Europe, <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/21203/g2-esports"><b>G2 Esports</b></a></span> replacing <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/32/shox">Richard <b>"shox"</b> Papillon</a></span> with <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/119/mixwell">Óscar <b>"mixwell"</b> Cañellas</a></span> looks like a downgrade in both skill and communication. There are other factors in play, but I struggle to connect any of these moves to the current meta in Counter-Strike. Instead, they are responses to each team’s internal struggles.<br />  <br />  <figure><img class="img" src="https://static.fragbite.com/stock/bab39ff43a5e9406a580.jpg" alt="Jake "stewie2k" yip" /><figcaption>Jake "Stewie2k" Yip, now of SK Gaming</figcaption></figure><br />  <br />  Beyond the very highest tier of play, availability begins to matter more. It seemed as if <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/8293/ninjas-in-pyjamas"><b>Ninjas in Pyjamas</b></a></span> needed more leadership to replace <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/21/xizt">Richard <b>"Xizt"</b> Landström</a></span>, and yet they picked up <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/94/dennis">Dennis <b>"dennis"</b> Edman</a></span> because he was the best Swedish-speaking player available. Teams focus on making incremental upgrades to themselves, either by addressing their weaknesses or by improving their strengths. Sometimes those gradual changes end up adding up to a juggernaut, other times they are not enough – and while you may have an idea, you never know how it is going to play out. Counter-Strike is a video game, but due to the complexity of ten interacting players on a server, it can never be solved by math. <br />  <br />  In some ways, incremental upgrades are all teams can control. The rest is a function too complicated to be solved, featuring endless competition. Partly it is also the beauty of the game – who would have guessed the previous Cloud9 roster, or the <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/21204/optic-gaming"><b>Optic Gaming</b></a></span> team of late 2016, would have worked so well together?<br />  <br />  Media narratives can be good heuristics, shortcuts for understanding why something happened or makes sense. Yet unfortunately they too often are made to fit the situation ex post, instead of actually looking into the case in more depth, trying to understand the underlying facts and causal relationships – as was the case with home advantage in Counter-Strike. In fact, using the heuristics can sometimes be downright dangerous, as it can lead to defaulting to the most obvious possible explanation.<br />  <br />  The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers were all-but destined to meet in the NBA Finals for a couple of years. In those years, an arms race-type mentality made sense – they were going to destroy everyone else, and only that specific match-up mattered in the grand scheme of things. But in Counter-Strike, teams must go through a minefield before getting to a single grand final – much less the same one repeatedly. Any team would be a fool to focus their efforts on beating a single team, who may not even show up. FaZe may have been ready for SK in 2018, but because the Brazilians never showed up to a playoff series, any effort they have put in has been in vain.<br />  <br />  Luck of the draw can set teams up for potential championship runs by avoiding their nightmare match-ups, but even in those runs teams need to win multiple games where they have a 35-50% probability of losing. Those are the games, even when the team is at the top of the hill – just ask the current FaZe roster – where they need to take care of business. <br />  <br />  They do that by addressing a seemingly infinite number of very minor issues in-game on a micro level. And when they manage that successfully, the media can then talk about its macro implications.<br />  <br />  <div class="rich"><b>About the author</b><br />  Tomi Kovanen, more commonly known as "lurppis", is one of Finland's most prominent Counter-Strike experts.

Allu on ENCE tv: “I feel great, it’s good to be back home.”

20 March 2018, 15:10

John GoodersonJohn "dronee" Gooderson – @dronee_

Returning to ENCE Esports, Aleksi "allu" Jalli sat down with his organisation's head manager, and his former Ninjas in Pyjamas coach, Joona "natu" Leppänen for an interview for their website. We take a look at the highlights and transcribe some of the answers.

The interview gave insight into Aleksi "allu" Jalli's career over the past year, the comings and goings with him being in Faze Clan and Optic Gaming before returning home to ENCE eSports.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2DADxrp6hs" target="_blank">The interview</a> gave insight into <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/25/allu">Aleksi <b>"allu"</b> Jalli</a></span>'s career over the past year, the comings and goings with him being in <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/19805/faze-clan"><b>Faze Clan</b></a></span> and <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/21204/optic-gaming"><b>Optic Gaming</b></a></span> before returning home to <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/19094/ence-esports"><b>ENCE Esports</b></a></span>.<br />  <br />  In the interview he discusses the rollercoaster ride that was 2017, with ups and downs, including himself and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/28/kioshima">Fabien <b>"kioShiMa"</b> Fiey</a></span> being removed from Faze.<br />  <br />  <blockquote>“During StarLadder there was a lot of internal issues between players and we tried to solve that, and then we kind of reached a common ground. But eventually everything went south, in a really bad way and we barely practised at some periods of time. There was a lot of tension in the team.”<br />  <br />  “After we crashed out of PGL Major last year, we had a long, 3 or 4 hour team talk about everything, and we agreed on something. But eventually it came out that the rest of the team had decided it was best to remove me and kio, rather than solve our problems.”</blockquote>After being removed from the starting Faze roster, Jalli went on to join Optic gaming who signed a European roster including <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/24/friberg">Adam <b>"friberg"</b> Friberg</a></span>, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/207/magisk">Emil <b>"Magisk"</b> Reif</a></span> and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/167/hs">Kevin <b>"HS"</b> Tarn</a></span> who joined <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/119/mixwell">Óscar <b>"mixwell"</b> Cañellas</a></span> in the lineup.<br />  <br />  <blockquote>“Moving forward to Optic, it was an adventure to say the least, we had alot of good times there. Obviously it was a bit rough going back and forth from Europe to US, Europe to US, playing Pro League there, and going home, attending multiple events, it took a toll on us and limited our practise a lot. Creating a lot of problems that shouldn’t have been there. And in the end we decided that everyone would go their separate ways.”<br />  <br />  “And then there was some discussion that maybe we should move to the US and start to play from the US, but that was not an offer that I was interested in, which ended up with me being released from Optic.”</blockquote><b>On why he didn't want to move to NA with Optic:</b><blockquote>“Obviously my whole life is in Europe, in Finland, friends and family. So to go away, I think it might have been a good thing to do, but for me, I don’t think it’s necessary and I don’t see myself living in the US for a long time. A scenario we had before, moving back and forth could have worked, but it was really rough, going through different time zones and attending different events, and fitting in practise and everything, it was really rough. We discussed maybe playing from Europe, the majority of the team would have wanted that, but Optic wanted us to play in NA as they are from there."<br />  <br />  "Then with Magisk joining Astralis was pretty much the end of this team. I am really happy for him, I think Magisk is great, I really like him as a person and as a player.”<br />  <br />  “There was this plan that me and Friberg would move to Texas, along with some other players. Personally I was like ‘Yeah, No, this is too much hassle, everything was so chaotic.’ It was tough but in the end I think this was the correct move for my own career.”</blockquote>With his time in Optic Gaming at an end, and his former teammates going their separate ways the Counter-Strike world was looking on to see where Jalli would end up. It was then announced that he would be returning 'home' to his former Finnish organisation ENCE esports.<br />  <br />  <b>On Ence: </b><blockquote>“I am super excited, to have room to build your own team, to have a responsibility I really like. I think there has been a lot of development in young and up and coming players in Finland that can have the talent, ability and commitment to move up to the next level. And I think this team will manage to do exactly that, I have high expectations.”</blockquote><b>On the new team: </b><blockquote>“All the players have to have similar ambitions, and team chemistry needs to be on par. Everyone has to be able and willing to work with each other, not as five individuals, but as one unit. </blockquote>A great insight into the year of Jalli and some of the things that go on behind the scenes. <br />  <br />  <hr><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2DADxrp6hs">ENCE TV</a><br />  <small>Youtube</small><br />  </div>

Optic Gaming disqualified from Game 8 of IEM Katowice PUBG Invitational

8 March 2018, 18:00

John GoodersonJohn "dronee" Gooderson – @dronee_

1

The IEM Katowice PlayerUnknown'sBattlegrounds Invitational came to an end over a week ago, so you'll be forgiven for thinking that all was done and finished. However it has been announced that the final standings have changed due to a disqualification to Optic Gaming.

The ruling on the disqualification comes after Optic player Ian "Bahawaka" Crowe was seen on stream abusing a bug, that when you move in a certain way, without a weapon equipped you can see through the wall of a building, which he was hiding inside.

Optic cause shock in the CS:GO scene, with Friberg and Allu making way for an all new lineup, consisting of three Danes and two players from the North American scene.

Optic Gaming have completely refreshed their roster for 2018 in a move that sees Adam "friberg" Friberg and Aleksi "allu" Jalli not included in the lineup.

Optic Gaming release Magisk

7 February 2018, 07:54

Robert GoodersonRobert "DevelOP3" Gooderson – @DevelOP3CS

1

After yesterday's news that Optic Gaming were parting ways with Óscar "mixwell" Cañellas, they have announced yet another departure. This time they bid farewell to one Emil "Magisk" Reif.

Whilst Optic Gaming rapidly announce the departure of their players, without announcing any new arrivals, it is time for the players themselves to look for new homes.

Optic Gaming release mixwell

7 February 2018, 00:22

Robert GoodersonRobert "DevelOP3" Gooderson – @DevelOP3CS

As the deadline for roster locks moves ever closer for ESL Pro League, there is a whirlwind of transfer activity as teams look to get their contracts signed and the ink dry before time runs out. It is Optic who are the latest to make a move, but we are yet to hear of any incoming players.

We have been waiting for a while now to see what move Optic Gaming would make next, with it being apparent that something was going on behind the scenes. The team has been dropping out of qualifiers and we're not even sure what continent they want to be playing on.

Optic withdraw from cs_summit 2 — Torqued to step in

2 February 2018, 20:47

There is something going on behind the scenes at the Counter-Strike branch of Optic, we're just not sure what. Now they are set to miss another event, leaving the fans confused.

The Optic Gaming side pulled out of the IEM Katowice qualifiers, whilst some of their roster compete in others mix teams. They have today also pulled out of the upcoming cs_summit 2 as the confusion and speculation around their roster continues.

ECS Season 4 Finals — Mousesports and Faze progress to the Semi-Finals

17 December 2017, 01:33

Robert GoodersonRobert "DevelOP3" Gooderson – @DevelOP3CS

Day two in Cancun for the ECS Season 4 Finals has already seen two teams go home, and with two best of three decider matches we have sent two more packing and two victors through to the Semi-Finals.

The first decider match was between Optic Gaming and Mousesports. Mousesports had not looked strong on the first showing on day one, however did manage to move through 2-0 against Luminosity Gaming earlier today. They continued this winning form against and Optic side who looked completely out of sorts at times. After putting up far too little fight in the first map of Nuke the mix of European players, qualified from the North American league, were being run over on Train. Trailing 12-3 after a poor CT side, Optic did manage to pull the game all the way back to 12 rounds, eventually falling 16-12.

On the first map of Mirage the answer was a rather resounding no, the trio of <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/20/olofmeister">Olof <b>"olofmeister"</b> Kajbjer</a></span>, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/95/rain">Håvard <b>"rain"</b> Nygaard</a></span> and <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/86/niko">Nikola <b>"NiKo"</b> Kovač</a></span> ran riot over their opposition, finishing the only three positive players in the server. <br />  <br />  The second map was more competitive, with one player from the North American side in the form of <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/296/rush">Will <b>"RUSH"</b> Wierzba</a></span> actually being the second best player, in numbers, on the server for that map. However overall the European mix was too strong for them once again, 16-11 being the final score. <br />  <div class="match widget matchSmall matchResult"><a class="inside top" href="/cs/match/73649/faze-clan-vs-cloud9-esports-championship-series-season-4-finals">

The first match of the day was the North American winners Optic Gaming with their European mix team fighting Fnatic for a chance to meet the super team Faze Clan in the Semi-Finals.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">The first match of the day was the North American winners <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/21204/optic-gaming"><b>Optic Gaming</b></a></span> with their European mix team fighting <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/18758/fnatic"><b>Fnatic</b></a></span> for a chance to meet the super team <span class="team widget teamInline"><a href="/cs/team/19805/faze-clan"><b>Faze Clan</b></a></span> in the Semi-Finals. <br />  <br />  The first map was Inferno, in which we saw a battle of players who have all been regarded amongst the best in the world in the past. Whilst everyone played their part, the main influences on the map were <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/19/krimz">Freddy <b>"KRiMZ"</b> Johansson</a></span>, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/18/jw">Jesper <b>"JW"</b> Wecksell</a></span>, <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/207/magisk">Emil <b>"Magisk"</b> Reif</a></span> and when it mattered most <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/24/friberg">Adam <b>"friberg"</b> Friberg</a></span>. <br />  <br />  Johansson appeared to be running the show himself early on, pulling clutch after clutch and showing the star we all know from the past. Despite a strong start on the Terrorist side for Fnatic, Reif and his team had a different outcome in mind. An inspired Terrorist side led to Reif ending the map 30-20 with 108ADR but it was Friberg who secured the win with two back to back rounds with three kills to gain their 15th and 16th round, with Optic coming out 16-14. <br />  <br />  The second map was Optic's pick, Train, however a dominant Counter-Terrorist half from Fnatic saw them move into the second half with an 11-4 lead. Despite an impressive attempt to comeback in the second half, Optic eventually fell 16-10 with <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/17/flusha">Robin <b>"flusha"</b> Rönnquist</a></span> this time leading the way for the Swedish outfit. <br />  <br />  This result means the match was to go the distance, with Mirage as the deciding map. The first half ended with a 9-6 lead for the mix team, but with yet another pistol lost in the second half, Fnatic began to run away with it. Optic worked their way back into it however, with <span class="player widget playerInline"><a href="/cs/player/167/hs">Kevin <b>"HS"</b> Tarn</a></span> being the player this time to give his team hope. <br />  <br />  Eventually Fnatic proved too strong as a unit over the final two maps and secure themselves a spot in the Semi-Final, 16-14.<br />  <div class="match widget matchSmall matchResult"><a class="inside top" href="/cs/match/73613/optic-gaming-vs-fnatic-esl-pro-league-season-6-finals">
