\nMovistar Riders has parted ways with its Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> AWPer Alvaro \u201cSunPayus\u201d Fern\u00e1ndez Garcia. This comes exactly a year after the Spaniard joined the esports organization from the Iberian Family.<\/p>\n

The franchise took to its official Twitter<\/a> page to make the announcement. Having thanked him for his impact on the team, Movistar Riders reassured him that he would always find a home with the franchise.<\/p>\n

The tweet read:
\n\u201cOfficial Statement
\n@SunPayuscsgo breaks away from our club.
\nWe want to thank Alvaro for his effort and commitment that have led us to achieve historic achievements for our club and for our country.
\nThis will always be your home.\u201d<\/p>\n

SunPayus left the team on Thursday, creating room for the franchise to acquire Antonio \u201cMartinezSa\u201d Martinez S\u00e1nchez. During his time with Movistar Riders, the player helped the team emerge as champions at the ESL Challenger Valencia, which took place in July.<\/p>\n

In the same month, the all-Spanish squad also reached the semifinals of one of the most distinguished CS:GO events of the year, IEM Cologne, with the SunPayus playing a key role. After quickly climbing the ranks and getting into the playoffs, they defeated Team Liquid in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

SunPayus\u2019 stats for Movistar Riders this year made him a crucial part of the team. The player reached a 1.16 rating, which is reportedly the highest among the rest of the players on the team. In-game leader Alejandro \u201cAlex\u201d Masanet Candela was the only player who came close with a rating of 1.08.<\/p>\n

The 23-year old commented on his exit from Movistar. He took to Twitter to bid his teammates farewell and thank them for the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany thanks to the one I have considered my home and my family during this last year,\u201d SunPayus tweeted. \u201cTogether we have achieved incredible things. Thanks @dav1gCS @DeathZzaky @bladEisHere_ @AlejandroMopoz @alexitownzz @repk3ys @Kini_Psicologia @Resettlol @RachelXGin<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd to all other members of @Movistar_Riders @MovistareSports . I have received many messages, I can only say thanks to all of you, the support is enormous, the decision has been very difficult. I love you ma people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The player ended his one-year stint with Movistar Riders a few days ago and will reportedly be part of ENCE\u2019s lineup going forward. The team\u2019s long-time AWPer, Aleksander \u201chades\u201d Miskiewicz, was benched and given permission to explore other options a week before SunPayus left Movistar Riders.<\/p>\n

Hades started playing with ENCE in June 2021 and has been an integral factor in their journey to the top five teams in the world. The 22-year-old reportedly averaged 1.07 this year, a score that is not bad but not as impressive as SunPlayus\u2019 1.16.<\/p>\n

The player also notably had little impact when put up against the other top teams worldwide. With SunPlayus\u2019 departure from his previous team and ENCE\u2019s apparent interest in him, it’s only a matter of time before the official announcement is made.<\/p>\n

Although Heroic is the favorite to win the opening fixture of the IEM Cologne Pro League against ENCE with moneyline odds of $1.65 as opposed to $2.10 placed on ENCE by esports betting sites<\/a>. When SunPlayus is officially announced, the odds could move in favor of ENCE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
