Players that are too good not to be signed

With the 2021 season coming closer and closer, many teams have opted to make roster-changes in order to have the strongest possible roster going into the new season. Whilst this is great news for the general Counter-Strike fan, it is also sad when some players are left without a team and the possibility to compete.

Not always is a roster-change smooth and easy for everyone involved and players are often left as free-agents or on the transfer list. At this current moment of time, there are more players than ever before that are simply just too good not to be competing.

Let's take a look at some of the players we hope to see competing again as soon as possible.

Miikka "suNny" Kemppi:

The Finish 26-year-old was removed from the ENCE roster in December 2020 after having played for them for just over a year. The team decided that something needed to change after lacking performance and never quite hitting their previous form. Whilst ENCE didn't have great results at the time "suNny" played for them, he is an experienced complementary player that most teams will benefit from having on their side. He has shown exactly that, not only when playing for ENCE, but also in his performances for Mousesports, his previous team.

Owen "oBo" Schlatter:

"oBo" departed with Complexity in September 2020, and despite not having found a new team yet he is undoubtedly one of the more exciting free-agents available at this current moment of time. At an impressively young age of only 17 years old, he managed to compete with the world's best players and put Complexity on the Counter-Strike map alongside his, at the time, teammates. Without much experience under his belt, he seemed composed and geared to compete at a very high-level. Once given the right environments to grow, it seems as if the sky is the limit for this young prospect.

Robin "flusha" Rönnquist:

From a 17-year-old prospect to a 27-year-old icon in the Counter-Strike scene. fnatic announced their roster-changes going into the 2021 season yesterday, which sadly meant the end of "flusha's" 7 years of service for the Swedish team. You can read more about the departure here:

Despite having played at a high-intensity level for over 7 years "flusha" shows no signs of stepping down or even slowing down. At this current moment of time rumors have it that he is currently in talks with Miikka "suNny" Kemppi and Timothy "automatic" Ta in regards to establishing a new top-tier roster.

Whilst it is sad to say goodbye when a great player is removed, it is just as exciting to follow their new journeys in finding a team and competing alongside new players. Hopefully, we will see all the phenomenal free-agents, that are currently without a team, competing again in 2021.
