Optic just traded Stanislaw for Hiko.

What the gently caress is with NA teams and shooting themselves in the dick? Optic was looking so good.

lol wasn't stanislaw the igl. So they saw how not having one wen't so well for liquid and they decided to swap theirs for hiko. Oh boy. Maybe liquid are the winners out of that trade.

Now I'm torn on if I become an Optic fan or just stick with Liquid. I like Hiko. He seems nice.

Goddammit, learn to VP through this poo poo, CS teams. Work on your poo poo, don't just trade people as soon as something goes wrong.


Hiko is a nice dude, but also his igl outside of vibes seems pretty weak.

Also definitely be an optic fan, sterster.

To be fair, Liquid has been having issues for a while, even when they had S1mple.

But Hiko has been looking really burnt out. I can't see this as anything but a downgrade for Optic. Stanislaw had been both fragging and igl-ing really well for them

Well the issue with liquid seemed to be everyone wanted to do their own thing and they did which was a loving mess because only elige could do their own thing alone. So its good for them if that's how the ball bounces. The thing at optic was stannislaw who seemed to have basic igl poo poo down could make the the run and shootman players work together and he had gotten the better click heads peoples so it was just a matter of making them cooperate to lead to win/topfinishes If I'm an optic person im screaming at this moment. The only people team to ever make 5 peeeps doing their own poo poo work was fnatic and it was only for a while when they were all top 10 players in the world. Like how can you be the optic teamowner without freaking out at this point if you are getting hiko who's just going to say go a guys i'm a bait you going b every round.

I didn't think Hiko was igl for Liquid when they were at New York and Cologne was he? He seemed to be playing relatively well during that period and the igl stuff has stifled his play.

I don't know what Hiko expects to accomplish on Optic, or what they expect to get out of Hiko.

Probably another year or two of losing and then Hiko stops pretending he's pro material.

Optic also kick stanislaw w/ no warning after most major leagues had started, thus basically loving him. yea, they took him back in the end, but if I'm stanislaw, I get why he doesn't feel obligated to tell them.

Eh he gave the org time to arrange a swap, which is way more than you can say Optic did for him. If I'm working for a company and they fire me, only to decide to fire one of my friends instead and let me stay, I'm obviously not going to want to stick around. Sure, not quite analogous with a team, but I think it's super understandable.

I mean, at least tell your teammates whats going on, and not just after you've already quit?

This is not a "dude is a kid" move at all, this is pretty much a good idea/standard practice in all industries, especially if they have issues with management at their current job. Like Fusion Restaurant said, if my bosses were all "Hey we're firing you! Oh wait after we fired you it turns out we need you, we're re-hiring you!", I would certainly be looking for a new job, and I would not go around the office going "Hey coworkers, FYI I'm gonna quit soon, just looking for a better job!"

I would go to job interviews, take an offer I liked, and then ask for a couple weeks so I could give notice at my old job and help them set up to transition somebody else in. Which is exactly what stan seems to have done.


E: Actually, hell, this pretty much happened with one of the guys in my department like a month ago, only he wasn't even fired/rehired, just underpaid. Came in one day, said "Hey, I got a job at another company paying me more, gonna go talk to the manager and let them know I'm leaving, I might be around for 2-3 more weeks to help with the transition". I was bummed, because he was one of the people I got along with best, but I wasn't surprised he hadn't told anybody he was leaving before he got the job. (The company ended up having him use his remaining 2 weeks of PTO instead of sticking around to do the transition which seemed weird to me, but also was totally their call.)

Except in this case, he told them he was already out only after they asked him why he wasn't at the practice they had previously set up. That's pretty disrespectful.

I mean, yeah, they took time out of their day to practice thinking that someone would be there, and it turned out they wasted their time entirely.

Texting "hey this is going on, don't bother practicing" a few hours before hand isn't that hard. It's not like practice is an impromptu thing with these teams.

They didn't "take time out of their day", they logged on to their practice server because it's their job.

Umm, I think you're applying like a 2003 mentality to 2017 esports. There's big money involved here and the team is being paid to practice, or in the event someone can't show up, review demos or strategy or some other such activity regardless. If you planned to leave your job would you tell all of your other coworkers to just not bother showing up for work anymore? From Stan's side, it's the professional (and financially prudent) thing to do to not mention this until the deal is officially signed, as he could really get screwed over if the deal were to fall through but his team already knew he was on his way out. Again, if you found a new job I'm pretty sure you would not say a loving word to your boss or your coworkers until you've accepted an official offer (and if you would then you're an idiot). Not sure why you think it's such a dick move. If he ghosted the team because he felt like getting a burrito instead, that's a different story.
