nexa takes a jab at degster: He has a really big ego and he’s difficult to work with
The former OG in-game leader has given a candid interview where he criticizes his former star AWPer degster.
Why is Abdul “degster” Gasanov sitting on the bench? Why hasn’t he played a competitive match in over six months? And how does it come that there are no transfer rumours about him circulating?
If you ask his former in-game leader in OG, Nemanja “nexa” Isaković, there could be one good reason for that: His persona.
In a recent podcast hosted by Duncan “Thorin” Shields and Nikola "LEGIJA" Ninić, nexa offered his view on degster stating that the Russian AWPer is both “difficult to work with” and that he has a “really big ego”.
- He [degster] is a very difficult person to work with. He definitely has the skill, but he wants everything done his way. He’s also taking a lot of space from everyone in the team all the time, but he’s even ungrateful to get all of the space that he gets. He still wants more and he’s always blaming others for all the mistakes, nexa said and continued:
- So, I would say that he has a really big ego. I think it’s fine if you have a really big ego if you have numbers and stats to back it up, and you’re actually helping the team win. But I think a lot of his stats come at the expense of other players.
nexa, who is now with G2 again, did not hold back when talking about degster
"His playstyle is not so beneficial to any team"
Although pointing out his big ego and his selfish behaviour, nexa wasn’t shy to praise degster, whom he played with in OG for more than six months, for his strong abilities on the server. The Serbian IGL also believes that degster can make it far, but only if he changes his mindset, he explained.
- Sure, here and there he will have an insane round like a 1v4 or 1v3 clutch – like he’s really good individually. But his playstyle in general is not so beneficial to any team pretty much in my opinion, and he’s really stubborn and unwilling to change or adapt from the way he sees the game.
- I think he’s a great player and I believe if he can try to see the game from someone else’s perspective and not only his own – or maybe if he gets an in-game leader who’s going to stand up for his bullshit – then I think he could definitely be a really good player in the future.
We have reached out to degster to get a comment on the words about his persona, however, he did not turn back in time for the publication of this article.
