Epsilon part ways with Swedish roster

6 January 2018, 00:09

Robert GoodersonRobert "DevelOP3" Gooderson – @DevelOP3CS

Epsilon have tonight announced that they will part ways with their Swedish roster, citing a "lack of consistency in results and overall team cohesion" as their reasoning.

The team had finished second in the last Gfinity Elite Series, however presumably a mixture of that tournament not existing next season and the overall team dynamic has left the organisation unsatisfied with what the roster could bring for the future.

Last night the player took to twitter in frustration to say he would be taking a break until December 2018 due to being unable to get out of his contract, and today has expanded upon that and how it is effecting him and his home life.

Owen "smooya" Butterfield is currently contracted to Epsilon, where he was benched when the organisation decided that they wanted an all Swedish speaking roster, and that meant, despite good performances, Butterfield no longer fit into the line-up.

ESL ESEA

Match-fixing bans lifted by ESL & ESEA; new sanctions structure introduced

24 July 2017, 16:42

Hùng PhạmHùng "mahp" Phạm – @hungipham

2

After a prohibition released on January 26 of 2015, Valve Corporation explicitly declared that the infamous ex-Ibuypower players got disregarded from all competitive play. Today, a striking statement from ESL has been announced as the players are clear to play in selected tournaments.

Not all opportunities are good

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content"><h3>Not all opportunities are good</h3>On the 20th of August, 2014, a clash between iBUYPOWER and NetcodeGuides waited, as the fifth season of the CEVO Professional League was coming to an end. Sam "DaZeD" Marine, co-founder of NetcodeGuides, had already qualified for the finals with iBUYPOWER. It therefore seemed opportune to give NetcodeGuides a significant boost.<br />  <br />  However, with the implications of other hands like Derek "dboorN" Boorn and, amongst others, Casey "caseyfoster" Foster, it was later settled that a match-fix should take place, in order to gain an economic benefit.<br />  It didn't take long until evidence came around on larger news agencies within esports, marked with an outburst of the community from top to bottom.<br />  <br />  Five months later, a public letter from Valve Corporation got released pronouncing the players banned.<br />  <br />  <h3>A small sign of hope</h3>On the first edition of cs_summit, Braxton "swag" Pierce was admitted to play and that marked the first step towards forgiving the mistakes of the past.<br />  <br />  More notably, questions regarding the policies of such punishment arose. Without any precedent, other professionals, such as Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, disagreed with the decision of Valve Corporation.<br />  <br />  On the June 2, Ulrich Schulze, Vice President of Pro Gaming at ESL, released a Twitter post stating that he is, in fact, meeting up with players to discuss the match-fixing bans.<br />  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">One month - and we will release the conclusion after ESL One Cologne.</p>— Ulrich Schulze (@theflyingdj) <a href="https://twitter.com/theflyingdj/status/883554049777422336">July 8, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><br />  Today, the response has come.<br />  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">In line with the new sanction structure we will also be lifting the indefinite match-fixing ban on ex-IBUYPOWER players for ESL competitions</p>— ESL (@ESL) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESL/status/889485386040455168">July 24, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><br />  A complete player list has now been revealed as they are now clear for play in ESL and ESEA sanctioned tournaments. <br />  <br />  Additionally, ESIC's recommendation to sanction any match-fixing/betting fraud with a 5 year ban from competitive play.<br />  <br />  It is merely a question of time until one of the listed players will be leaping towards the next tournament.<br />  <br />  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you to everyone who fought for us and argued upon our behalfs. I really doubt without you guys that this would have been possible. ????</p>— Sam M (@GODaZeD) <a href="https://twitter.com/GODaZeD/status/889488174942003200">July 24, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><br />  The decision of ESL  and ESEA might be of interest for other tournament organizers, as it may awake greater opportunities in the future. Until then, it remains unclear if the concerned will ever get to take place in Valve-sponsored events ever again.</div>

After five years in the team, Adam "friberg" Friberg has left NiP Gaming's active roster, the team has announced. Friberg has been a part of the roster since the return of Ninjas in Pyjamas, which was by the time Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was launched in mid-2012. He was also very much a part of the legendary 87-0 streak that the team had at the beginning of the CS:GO era.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">After five years in the team, Adam "friberg" Friberg has left NiP Gaming's active roster, the team has announced. Friberg has been a part of the roster since the return of Ninjas in Pyjamas, which was by the time Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was launched in mid-2012. He was also very much a part of the legendary 87-0 streak that the team had at the beginning of the CS:GO era.<br />  <br />  Besides dozens of trophies, friberg also has a major victory under his belt. At ESL One Cologne 2014, the tournament where the saying "third time's a charm" was very suitable, friberg was — according to many — the most valuable player for NiP Gaming as they finally broke the silver-curse of Valve Majors.<br />  <br />  <h2>REZ steps in</h2>To fill the gap from friberg, NiP Gaming have turned to youngster Fredrik "REZ" Sterner. The highly observed 19-year-old has been seen playing for Epsilon this past year, and was a recurring name when HLTV.org asked pro players who they thought was going to break out in 2017. It certainly looks to be that way now.<br />  <br />  <blockquote>"I am extremely happy to have been given the opportunity to play for NiP. This is a dream for every player that is working their way into the top scene. Together with the NiP team, I strongly believe we’ll reach the top. Reuniting with draken is also something that I'm really looking forward to as he’s been a long time teammate and a close friend. I am stoked to continue my career together with him and the other guys at NiP", REZ tells <a href="https://nip.gl/news/2017/announcement-roster-change-ninjas-in-pyjamas-csgo" target="_blank">NiP.gl</a>.</blockquote> <br />  In NiP Gaming, REZ will be playing with the core trio that remains as well as his old team mate. William "draken" Sundin, who played with REZ in Epsilon, was recruited by NiP Gaming earlier this year. If this is the recipe for success is for the future to show for the following squad.<br />  <br />  <div class="lineup"><h3><b>NiP Gaming</b></h3><img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Richard "Xizt" Landström<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> William "draken" Sundin<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Fredrik "REZ" Sterner</div> <br />  <div class="videoWrapper videoWrapperYoutube"><iframe width="100%" height="372" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zzapc46N4iQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div>

One of the Swedish Counter-Strike: Global Offensive circuit's budding stars in Fredrik "REZ" Sterner has, reportedly, received offers to join both Ninjas in Pyjamas and GODSENT, according to SlingShot Esports.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">One of the Swedish Counter-Strike: Global Offensive circuit's budding stars in Fredrik "REZ" Sterner has, reportedly, received offers to join both Ninjas in Pyjamas and GODSENT, <a href="https://slingshotesports.com/2017/05/28/epsilon-200000-buyout-rez/" target="_blank">according</a> to SlingShot Esports. <br />  <br />  The Epsilon organization has, reportedly, set Sterner's buyout at 200,000 USD, which could certainly be considered a steep amount for a player that's been competing actively for only one year's time.<br />  <br />  Sterner, who has competed in the Swedish Epsilon Esports roster for roughly 14 months, has received praise for his competitive performances and is widely regarded by certain pro players as the breakout star of 2017. But despite his reputation and individual level of performance, Epsilon have been unable to share the same success.<br />  <br />  The team is currently only fielding three permanent players, and were also forced to compete in the recent qualifiers for the European Minor with two stand-ins. The team was unable to impress and were ultimately eliminated by NiP without winning a single map.<br />  <br />  <div class="lineup"><h3>Epsilon</h3><img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Fredrik "REZ" Sterner<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Fredrik "freddieb" Buö<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> André "BARBARR" Möller<br />  </div> <br />  The report by SlingShot also mentions that REZ is believed to be leaving Epsilon in the coming weeks, in case the organization and any potential buyers are able to reach an agreement.</div>

Kar-William "kalle" Haraldsen became part of Epsilon eSports roughly two months ago. The Norweigan player was brought on following the departure of Joakim "disco doplan" Gidetun from the roster.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">Kar-William "kalle" Haraldsen became part of Epsilon eSports roughly two months ago. The Norweigan player was brought on following the departure of Joakim "disco doplan" Gidetun from the roster. <br />  <br />  Now, however, Epsilon has elected to remove Haraldsen from the roster, and will instead be scanning other available options.<br />  <br />  <blockquote>"We today announce the release of Karl-William ‘Kalle’ Haraldsen from Epsilon CSGO. The team have decided to explore new options and will be looking at alternatives over the coming days. We would like to place on record our thanks to Kalle for his efforts during his time with the team and wish him luck in whatever he undertakes next. More information will be released as and when we have it. For the present time, the team are looking at options and seeing who would be a good fit for the team dynamics", the organization wrote on its <a href="http://www.epsilon-esports.com/news/kalle-released/" target="_blank">website</a>.</blockquote> <br />  Together with Haraldsen, Epsilon won the 2016 World Cyber Arena event against VG.CyberZen by a 3-0 mapscore in the grand finals. The Norweigan's last event with the team was Copenhagen Games, where Epsilon were eliminated by BIG in the quarterfinals. During the event, the team also competed with Simon "atter" Atterstam as its fifth player. Whether or not Atterstam will remain on the squad, remains to be seen.<br />  <br />  <div class="lineup"><h3>Epsilon eSports</h3><img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> André "BARBARR" Möller<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Fredrik "REZ" Sterner<br />  <img alt ="Sweden" title="Sweden" class="flag x3x2" src="https://dynamic.fragbite.com/flags/sverige.gif" /> Fredrik "freddieb" Buö<br />  </div> </div>
