Device is a prime example of a hybrid player.
My point was that Liquid is severely limiting themselves by keeping a player on the roster who's rifling is sub par and his current form on the awp is average at best. I would rather see Liquid pick up a player who is a good rifler and can awp if it is needed. In most cases I would say that you should have a dedicated AWPer but the current stock of North American dedicated awpers is garbage and none would improve what they already have, which is quite sad. (I personal would prefer to see Liquid stick with NA talent from now on). And given the team's current form and the form of certain players I feel they are one good move away from being serious contenders for North American Counter Strike and be some what competitive internationally.
I also feel like C9 and Optic will never improve internationally if they keep Shroud and Tarik on their rosters respectively. Personally, I like Sick, and feel that he would be a good addition for both sides and provide some potential room for growth.
