Anexis lose CS:GO team

27-2-2013 13:28

Anexis' CS:GO squad have confirmed to HLTV.org that they have parted company with the Germany-based organisation.

The news will certainly come a shock to many as the Danish team have been performing well since adding Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander and Nicolaj "Nico" Jensen in December, finishing runners-up to Ninjas in Pyjamas at Mad Catz after winning Gaming.dk and HKLAN earlier in the month.

In Vienna, Anexis topped their group with three victories from three matches before defeating TCM-Gaming and VeryGames in the playoffs to earn a showdown against NiP in the final, which they lost on two maps.

Danish team on the lookout for new home

Contract talks between the Danish team and Anexis broke down after Mad Catz, with the Germany-based organisation being interested in substantially lowering the terms of the deal, team manager Kevin "Kevz" Mikkelsen told HLTV.org.

"It’s with great confusion that we today are announcing our exit from Anexis eSport," he said. "During the evening, we sat down with Anexis eSport to discuss a new deal, and what they could offer us was not acceptable, it was actually worse than the previous one.

"Since there was no chance to come to an agreement with them, we decided to leave. When I say confusion, I mean that we have had a lot of success lately, like at Mad Catz in Vienna.

"We are a hard working team, always striving to improve, so it"s a huge surprise and a disappointment for us.

"All this means of course that we are in search of a new organization, so if you have any interest in our team you are welcome to contact me via via skype (Nilthias) or E-mail ([email protected] or [email protected])."

The Danish team, who will go under the name unu.AiN (U need us . Awesome is nothing) until they find a new organisation, are currently 10th in ESEA-Invite, with 12 points from 14 matches.

unu.AiN have the following lineup:

Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander
Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen
Nicolaj "Nico" Jensen
Nichlas "Nille" Busk
Jacob "Pimp" Winneche

2013-02-27 15:11

lol...read the article...the team parted ways with the organization, they are not disbanding! And why would they go to fnatic, when anexis are by miles ahead of them

7 replies

fnatic could hire the whole team

2013-02-27 13:36

I know that...though I deem it unlikely, because of trace & friis and their history their. I was merely referring to his hint that ex-anexis may undergo roster changes!

2013-02-27 13:52

i dont know about that really. anexis as a team are solid enough to get results while trace and friis dont seem like their old self. In 1.6 they were beasts. On the other hand a successful mixture of 1.6/css players might be even better! we will see

2013-02-27 14:00

"history" we're in CS:GO now though and they really haven't been showing any results, especially trace and friis aren't really playing good yet

2013-02-27 14:12

I know that, I personally just don't see that happening :) Let's just wait for an official statement :)

2013-02-27 15:13

or they could just drop their current danish lineup and replace it with a better one :D

Insanely good team, hope they find a top organisation soon! (Time for big names to get into GO?)

Indeed, hope fnatic considers them.

2013-02-27 13:33

If big names got into csgo, they wouldn't choose that team imo...

2013-02-27 15:02

which team then? The best teams right now are already contracted and seem loyal to their organisation, they're possibly the best free team atm. Too bad SK don't wanna pick a cs:go squad right now but I hope another big orga will

2013-02-27 15:22

Torqued and OI would be a way better choice than anexis. Quite frankly, I don't think anexis will ever be able to repeat the performance they did at madcatz.

2013-02-27 15:37

these have some of the most unstable players on the scene, I'd rather pick Anexis who already proved they worked well as a team. Besides their performance at Mad Catz is not a surprise, they've been performing great for a while now

2013-02-27 15:41

welcome to fnatic :D

free organizations : SK, 4K, millenium

great team , gl finding a new org

weird that on gaming.dk overrated individuals get mentioned probably fake since flam0r snake obviously wants a high salary

2013-02-27 13:34

fnatic pick them !

Alex Zavolka fnatic gaming chief this night fnatic will show new lineup changes and hope you will be happy

where you find this?

2013-02-27 14:16

Overrated Individuals join Anexis. That's why ex-Anexis where offered a even worse contract, then that they had before. I think Anexis joins fnatic.

2013-02-27 13:35

I could see this being the new fnatic roster.

It's because Overrated Individuals is joining Anexis. They have already made a deal

#14 :O

2013-02-27 13:38

i dont think they're good enough for fnatic org

cArn just tweeted this: "Winds of changes - @FNATIC CS:GO"

and current lineup is ?

2013-02-27 13:46

rytter jokern xyp9x friis trace but this night will know new fnatic lineup

no, that's why they'll change it

2013-02-27 13:56

hahahaha now fnatic team is playing shit so stfu they <<<< anexis

I know this ain't gonna happen, but it could be fantastic to see these guys in either EG or SK :D

2013-02-27 13:51

I think they gonna keep Friis. He's been the best performer so far even with terrible IGL/mediocre fragger in Rytter and not-so-productive teammates.

2013-02-27 13:53

pimpz nico gla1ve friis xyp9x

2013-02-27 13:55

Stupid team with two AWP's.. You must feel bad.

2013-02-28 10:05

okay guys Lexxeech ( alex Zavolka) This change won't have anything to do with Anexis. snappi or pita ?

I highly doubt that they will find a new organisation. I think fnatic is picking up Torqued.

2013-02-27 13:57

Don't really see fnatic only picking a few of them up as that would mean they would keep some players. Mainly you would expect fnatic to keep Friis as he's been performing well, but that would mean they have an awper and Nico is the awper from ex-Anexis, so that makes it a bit tricky. I think either entire ex-Anexis going to fnatic. But also moddii just posted on facebook he was going to CPH games. So I guess tonight we might get some exciting news !

to CPH wolves? w0w

2013-02-27 14:02

Anexis such a good team right now, and they are improving. It's such a shame that **** fnatic will split them up. Would be great if fnatic will take all 5 ex-anexis players, I know Friis and Trace are stars, but it was in 1.6, now then can't show themselves.

2013-02-27 14:05

relax its not ex anexis

2013-02-27 14:06

Disgraceful from an organisation!

Overrated Individuals to Anexis. ex-Anexis to fnatic. ex-fnatic to ?? DISBANDDD!

This change won't have anything to do with Anexis. Alex Zavolka (c)

2013-02-27 14:13

Overrated Individuals to Anexis. Source?

2013-02-27 17:59

2013-02-27 14:08

2013-02-27 14:15

2013-02-27 14:33

Oh our team is owning and winning tournaments. Better lower their salary

2013-02-27 14:34

Yeah. This roster was pretty amazing when they played together in CPH wolves. Too bad wantz stopped :(

2013-02-28 18:23

if fnatic will pick only some of them will ruin this great team ,no respect for them anymore

that's true.

Time for SK-Gaming to join the GO scene. They would get instasupport from the goodguy move supporting this team and would easily have a huge fanbase considering their history. Maybe RobbaN and such could give them some support, sharing some knowledge etc.

2013-02-27 16:19

2013-02-27 16:45

Fnatic just picked up moddii and stingeR. aL has a poor squad now and this ex-Anexis team is far better than mousesports too, both options are possible.

2013-02-27 16:46

So they drop a really good team, to get an average team? :S strange stuff

2013-02-27 17:06

They are really coming together as a team. One of the solid organizations is going to pick them up and give them the support they need to take their game to the next level. I would actually view this as a good thing. Good on the Anexis boys to hold out for what they deserve! I will be streaming their match vs Virtus Pro coming up in a couple of hours. i will also have the other 2 VP games before and after! Tune in for the euro invite action!!! twitch.tv/santi___

2013-02-27 17:31

overrated are really overrated compared to anexis...they were beginning to gain confidence and evolve as a team...this is sad....imo anexis would have produced better results than OL in coming tournaments

2013-02-27 17:37

Wish the best of luck to these guys. My fav team atm, even before their performance in Vienna.

2013-02-27 17:49

Its funny that everyone doubts the change to fnatic because of Friis and trace. Lol as if they're gods, just solid nothing more. And the current ex-Anexis team is hugely better than the whole fnatic team including Friis and trace. fnaticRC = ex-Anexis most likely
