Official: MODDII joins Epsilon

2-7-2013 19:18

Epsilon have confirmed via their website that they have secured the services of ex-fnatic ace Andreas "MODDII" Fridh.

After quitting fnatic earlier in the day, the Swedish player has officially linked up with Epsilon in what was one of the worst kept secrets in the recent history of e-sports.

He will step into the shoes of André "berg" Kjellberg, who was removed from the team last month due to his alleged lack of motivation.

MODDII new Epsilon ingame leader

Fridh will be taking ingame control of a side who recently finished in second place at DreamHack Summer, where they played with Norwegian sensation Martin "cENTRYZ" Brandal from H2k as a stand-in.

"We have been very proud of the recent achievements of our Epsilon.CSGO squad, particularly over the past month, and the acquisition of such a highly regarded talent to round out the CSGO squad does not come as a surprise," Epsilon general manager Greg “slick” Champagne said.

"The consistency, experience, and talent that Andreas brings will greatly benefit a young, extremely potent line-up and will raise our standards even higher."

The Swedish veteran will make his debut for Epsilon already today, as the team will take part in FACEIT's June Cup.

Epsilon now have:

Jesper "jw" Wecksell
Robin "flusha" Rönnquist
Andreas "schneider" Lindberg
Jonathan "devilwalk" Lundberg
Andreas "MODDII" Fridh

Moddi lovin' life.

Yeah, you are right. But that's how it looks when NiP runs over VG over and over and over and... over aswell!

that's the thing tho, they haven't rolled over them that much when it matters, VG just loosing when they got a 14 - 5 lead etc, happens alot actually.

There's been a few close games, I agree. But 16-0 is never really close, is it? :D

You should treat teams fresh when they get a new player. VG with shox have never played nip (on lan)

2013-07-02 19:34

Worst result from VG against NiP was 2-16. Not that it matters a lot, but you know, you've got to give them that ^^.

2013-07-02 21:42

True story hahaha

2013-07-02 19:49

LOVE

Fetish certainly kept close to the situation, i guess they practiced against each other haha, after his statement why not go live with it i suppose.

Its probably interesting to fetish n co due to their danish companions in fnatic coming up for grabs, or perhaps a spot in fnatic for one of the (former) cphW players

2013-07-02 20:09

It was never a huge secret and some ppl did know it for some weaks before EMS

2013-07-03 00:23

True

glhf moddii!!

woow, go andyyy!

2013-07-02 19:25

Oh yeah! MODDII! Wish you the best for the future!

2013-07-02 19:29

gl!

2013-07-02 19:30

Eventhough I really liked cENTRYZ's aim and his playstyle MODDII is a top class player for sure

You sir, have no balls! You should be in this lineup!

2013-07-02 19:36

he was just a stand-in

2013-07-03 11:49

beda((

2013-07-02 19:40

lol :D gl in future centryz, create a team with kalle,DaY and others :D

2013-07-02 19:50

Im just wondering, what makes people think kalle even plays anymore ? If he did, he DEFINATELY would have a team, that also goes for "WHERE DID XEQTR, KALLE, VERTIGO, SERPEN, SYRTEKZ, ELEMENT, oOPS and REAL?"

11 replies

WHERE DID REAL?

My mistake.

2013-07-02 21:01

haha i think it's not that big comparing to that drinking game @ cph games ;d

......

2013-07-02 23:36

that's a good one man

2013-07-02 23:38

A few months ago I watched a stream of Xizt he played gather against kalle, and that I believe he still plays CSGO :))

2013-07-02 21:11

Im pretty sure that was not kalle :-)

2013-07-02 21:17

maybe :D

2013-07-02 22:46

i've played vs kalle in a csgo cup a few months ago

2013-07-02 21:24

That might be true, because he did play CSGO for 1-2 weeks :)

2013-07-02 22:33

haha

2013-07-02 22:47

2013-07-02 20:18

gl MODDII!

if they wanted a caller and a good igl im not sure this is the right thing :/

who left epsilon?

Berg Centryz was just a stand in (and Norwegian, which is probably why they opted for a Swedish player as definite solution)

2013-07-02 20:11

ty :)

2013-07-02 21:06

Yw ! :p

2013-07-02 22:16

Epsilon just got more interesting :D

2013-07-02 19:32

readmore already posted this 4 or 5 days ago? or even more

just like HLTV.org. Headlines are pretty much the same.

who left Epsilon?

cENTRYZ?

he was stand-in..

centryz i think

2013-07-02 19:35

i think it was burg i am pretty sure centryz was a stand in

LOOOOOOL

2013-07-02 19:39

good move, fnatic sucks anyway, fnatic is not even close to what they once were, they are kicking and bringing some disappointments all the time

not an sk fan but I think they should take their example, the scene is new and u don't know what players to pick so its easy to fail.

jw + moddii monster

2013-07-02 19:44

expected, gl.

centryz was a beast, should hav kept him.

2013-07-02 19:52

exactly, devilwalk is the one who needs to be replaced

2013-07-02 19:56

-devilwalk +someone from lemondogs

2013-07-02 19:58

Devilwalk good player...

2013-07-02 20:07

moddi wants to wear nike :[

2013-07-02 20:05

<33

2013-07-02 20:10

good luck guys! :-)

2013-07-02 20:12

gl moddiii

2013-07-02 20:13

bad choice.

2013-07-02 20:14

moddii being igl seems so strange to me.

Great for epsilon, but I would rather see him focused only on fraging which he does so well.

2013-07-02 20:26

nobody wants to be IGL in Epsilon's current lineup from what I remember during devilwalk's interview at DH

2013-07-02 20:38

good luck moddii in new team, but fnatic anyway > epsilon ATM

2013-07-02 20:42

sick news btw cENTRYZ is a great player, gl to them!

Interesting line-up! Hope cENTRYZ can form a good Norwegian team!

2013-07-02 21:07

Expected, he was carrying fnatic all this time.

2013-07-02 21:09

2013-07-02 21:16

New Fnatic: FeTiSh dev1ce dupreeh xyp9x socN

Nice to see berg leave. He wreaked havoc on my dreamteam bank at dreamhack lol. Looking forward seeing these bAdBoYz on LAN again. Beast of a team, gl!
