Epsilon part ways with CS:GO squad

24-7-2013 02:52

Epsilon eSports have announced they are parting ways with their CS:GO squad, thus leaving the Swedish lineup homeless.

Despite increasing success of their CS:GO squad in recent months, which saw the Swedish team place 9th-12th at Copenhagen Games and then build on that with a 2nd place finish at DreamHack Summer, Epsilon and the squad will be going their separate ways due to the organization "shifting priorities and venturing into new territory".

flusha, jw and schneider will be looking for a new home

Jesper "jw" Wecksell confirmed that there is no bad blood between the two sides and that the team will stick together.

"The time has come, the time to say good bye to Epsilon.

"We have had a lot of support playing under the management of Epsilon and we want to give a special thanks to our manager Slick who picked us up when no one else believed in us.

"We appreciate everything Epsilon has done for us, we improved greatly under their name and we became a top team while playing for them. But nothing lasts forever and we have decided to part ways on good terms with each other. Don’t worry though; we will keep playing under the tag SY&b until we find a new home." - Jesper "jw" Wecksell's statement for Epsilon-esports.com.

Swedish lineup was recently strengthened by Andreas "MODDII" Fridh and they finished the 14th season of ESEA in 6th place, which technically meant they will have a spot at the finals as at least three teams ahead of them in the ranking have no plans of going.

However, with the departure from the organization the trip to USA is now under question as there is only three weeks left until the North American event.

SY&b lineup:

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

Now under their temporary name SY&b, Wecksell & co will begin a search for a new home, and the next chance to see them in action will be Mad Catz Invitational on July 29th-August 1st when they are scheduled to play a best-of-three relegation match.

Should the team not find support in time for attending ESEA Finals, the next LAN event in their crosshairs will be DreamHack Bucharest.

What team is free atm, that Fnatic should pick up beside this? - " Scandinavian "

because they were doing so good before.

2013-07-24 03:34

Lol. This lineup is far better than the old Fnatic lineup in GO.

not to mention moddii is now in the line-up and he already has connections inside Fnatic. It seems like the only obvious choice to be fair.

Yeah, if fnatic picked up Epsilon, it's pretty good actually. But I just think that VG, LDLC, CPH Wolves , Western Wolves are better choices. Maybe I don't know much about Epsilon, so be cool :D

I am being cool man, just putting my point across. I'd put Epsilon on the same level as any of those teams you just said apart from VG though. Just my opinion.

Alright :)

2013-07-24 09:42

Ww n VG ,wint leave theorie org, other two teams are same level as syb

2013-07-24 11:36

It's on theory, changing org never be that simple. Yeah, they're on the same level, but I think those four are slightly better than Epsilon.

2013-07-24 14:06

cArn want pick only scandinavian team .. so - Vg aand -LDLC ... WW have good organisation so I don't think so then they leave it ... and CPH wolves is not so good like they were in past ..

2013-07-24 12:00

Although I trust those four teams better than Epsilon, I still think picking them up is a pretty good choice, cause some reason you mentioned above. Not good enough but not bad at all. And I think CPH Wolves are much stronger than before.

2013-07-24 14:17

how is western wolves a better option? lel

2013-07-24 17:02

Just my opinion.

2013-07-24 17:38

what did epsilon tht you say that they are better? second place at DH and Swedish Championship? and thats it?

2013-07-24 09:52

with that linup epsilon show nothing , ohh sorry yes they lose 16:0

2013-07-24 10:34

both teams were pretty much on the same level, so I don't see the point in recruiting them. although they probably have "potential" as they are young.

2013-07-24 11:42

they both are total shits

2013-07-24 08:54

i don't think so mad bro Epsilon stronk

2013-07-24 12:23

tru, this team is much better than old fnatic.

2013-07-25 23:44

2013-07-24 03:14

epsilon to anexis

2013-07-24 03:24

moddi back to fnatic once again, that would be hilarious haha

2013-07-24 03:27

Anexis would be a good fit.

2013-07-24 03:32

Swag, Yolo & Bitches

2013-07-24 03:44

Anexis

2013-07-24 04:00

well org start droping teams and its obvious its like few cheap tournaments in 2 months.... and price pool not higher 50k so fail

fnatic.moddii take 99

2013-07-24 04:13

There's nothing MODDII can do, fnatic is his home

2013-07-24 04:23

hopefully they are leaving for a better org, i can't understand why epsilon would possibly want to part ways with them now considering their recent results have been better than ever

2013-07-24 04:28

haha MODDI can't stay away from fnatic loooool

2013-07-24 05:13

fnatic or Anexis probably

2013-07-24 05:15

SK gaming ! ... or fnatic ? :d

2013-07-24 07:29

why do you think SK would start all of a sudden a cs:go squad by now?

just dreaming :) As SK and Fnatic fanboy

2013-07-25 13:46

SK gaming don't want to sponzor CS:GO squad :)

2013-07-24 12:02

2013-07-24 09:53

2013-07-24 09:55

can organisations stop dropping their teams already?

2013-07-24 10:03

if you give them money maybe

2013-07-25 13:49

anexis

2013-07-24 10:32

Would be a stupid decision

2013-07-24 13:23

for who? anexis said they will get a new team soon? and ex-epsilon needs some financial support of a team? i doubt that epsilon had enough success to join fnatic ( the DH-weekend could've been a fluke as well)

2013-07-24 13:41

bad news but can only be expected, would have to be a fool to invest in a CSGO team unless they're NiP. new UK team to replace?

2013-07-24 10:39

"Now under their temporary name SY&b, Wecksell & co will begin a search for a new home" pls...all know they will join fnatic. GG Carn. Your under-work through MODDII worked. Now you can pick one of the best scandinavian team
