OverDrive on replacing El1an: "All good AWPers are not available and it will be very hard to find a decent replacement"

Esports blogger Alexey "OverDrive" Birukov took to his Telegram channel to comment on the rumors about the replacement of Aleksei "El1an" Gusev in the Entropiq roster. According to him, the team considered the possibility of signing a new sniper at the beginning of this year but decided not to take this step due to the lack of suitable candidates.

Birukov added that now it will be difficult for Entropiq to find a replacement for the AWP role among representatives of the CIS region. He advised the organization to develop its academy project to address the player selection problem in the future.

The rumors about replacing El1an have been around since the beginning of the year, but since there were no worthy replacements, the roster was not changed. In fact, in the CIS, all good AWPers are not available and it will be very hard to find a decent replacement. Entropiq should really consider an academy team option. If the academy project has a good coach and scout, then 90% of the replacements in the main lineup will go without any trouble.

Earlier, OverDrive reported that El1an is no longer part of Entropiq without revealing any additional details. As of now, the information has yet to be confirmed officially.
