rain compares Gizmy to karrigan: “They are very similar”

After 100 Thieves upset Falcons in BLAST Bounty Season 2, Håvard "rain" Nygaard spoke about the team’s new IGL Jack "Gizmy" von Spreckelsen, who joined from Monte at the beginning of July.

In response to a question from Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg asking how rain might compare Gizmy to former teammate karrigan, the 31-year-old said, “In a way, they’re very similar.” rain credits both players’ proficiency for “making adjustments in the round and figuring out what the next move is.”

"I think Jack is even a little bit faster because his mother tongue is English, so it just flows really fast."

Similar to karrigan, Gizmy's impact has been difficult to quantify. In his first three matches and nine maps with 100 Thieves, the Brit has put up just a 0.86 rating. Despite the low rating and losses to NIP and Nuclear TigeRES, Gizmy seems to have improved 100Thieves' resilience, given their 3-9 comeback against #2-ranked Falcons.
