According to sources close to the situation, Shahar “flameZ” Shushan is in the final stage of negotiations with Team Vitality. Previously we reported that flameZ has been exploring his options as his contract with OG expired.
If nothing abruptly changes, Shushan will soon join the French organization for the upcoming Counter-Strike season. According to our information, flameZ will replace Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen in the roster.
In the past CS:GO season Vitality showed a tremendous performance. The French powerhouse managed to grab a victory at home ground, winning the last CS:GO Major, BLAST.tv Paris Major. Also, they won IEM Rio 2023 and took the second place at BLAST Premier Spring Finals.
Currently Vitality are #1 ranked team in the world both in ESL and HLTV ratings.
Wow did not expect this at all. Sad that dupreeh is leaving though, wonder who would pick him up.
Maybe he changed his mind and decides to retire. He achieved more than any other player in CSGO and he’s a family man now, a child can change a lot.
Dupreeh retiring, or being kicked?
I’d have to imagine retiring since he has a kid now and may want to spend time with his family, but not sure. Guess we’ll have to wait for the official announcement.
After the major he said he wanted to keep playing unless I am misremembering. So possibly getting kicked? I wonder who liquid is going to get now since I thought it was gonna be flamez.
It seems like he wanted to keep playing but after being kicked he might retire, unless he gets on a good team close to family
I love dupreeh, but this would be a sick move
Honestly I’m not too big of a fan of teams making relatively big changes before the whole CS2 launch happens.
