socN steps in for FeTiSh in Bucharest

13-9-2013 20:47

Copenhagen Wolves have had to add Søren "socN" Falke as a stand-in just a day before DreamHack Bucharest as in-game leader Henrik "FeTiSh" Christensen is unable to attend.

Copenhagen Wolves were one of the favorites going into this weekend's $15,000 tournament at DreamHack Bucharest after taking NiP to their limits in last week's RC EMS One Cup, but have suffered a big setback.

The in-game leader of the squad, Christensen, has had to pull out of the event at the last minute due to personal reasons. As a replacement the team has recruited Falke on a temporary basis.

"With Dreamhack Bucharest less than 24 hours away, Copenhagen Wolves are able to announce changes to the attending line-up. Prior to the upcoming Dreamhack Bucharest stop, hopes were high in the Copenhagen Wolves camp as the team had been putting in endless hours of practice so that the side would be ready to take on the World elite in the Romanian capital, Copenhagen Wolves said on its Facebook page.

"As tournament kick-off came closer, it became apparent that team captain Henrik "FeTiSh" Christensen would be unable to attend the event due to personal reasons. With Christensen’s temporary step-back, the team and management were forced to work around the clock in order to find a proper replacement for the long-standing team captain.

"Due to great dedication and professionalism shown by both our players and management, Copenhagen Wolves have been able to find a fifth member for Dreamhack Bucharest in the form of Søren “socN” Falke, who also helped the team during the RaidCall EMS One finals in Cologne back in the summer of 2013 when former Copenhagen Wolves star, Bo "wantz" Vestergaard, decided to retire only days before the tournament.

"Even though Christensen is an invaluable part of the team, Falke brings in a wealth of experience from his time as a part of teams such as 3DMAX, FM-eSports and more.

"Dreamhack Bucharest will run from September 14-15 in the Romanian capital. Copenhagen Wolves' campaign will begin in group B where the team will face the Swedish side of n!faculty, HEADSHOTBG from Bulgaria and the local side of IGG. Thanks to Komplett.dk, SteelSeries & adidas for the continued support."

Falke was last seen playing for Copenhagen Wolves as a stand-in at RC EMS One Finals in June. Prior to that he impressed as a stand-in for fm.TOXiC at Mad Catz Birmringham.

Copenhagen Wolves at DreamHack Bucharest:

Nicolai "device" Reedtz
Peter "dupreeh" Rasmussen
Søren "socN" Falke
Michael "Friis" Jørgensen
Andreas "Xyp9x" Højsleth

Copenhagen Wolves will begin their campaign in Bucharest tomorrow at 09:00 as they take on IGG in the first round of group B. You can read a preview on the team's status with Falke here.

[Going] for a top3*

2013-09-13 23:23

The [Going] means we're training for a top 3. Since their IGL got out it's quite obvious what I meant.

2013-09-14 17:20

huge loss

This is going to make their strats a mess...

actually socN > fetish

But fetish is the IGL, so yeah :)

2013-09-13 20:56

So, a fragger for their ingame leader.. Right.

ajajajai everything was going so well for everyone and now we see this. Hopefully they still do alright.

2013-09-13 20:53

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. so bad.

2013-09-13 20:55

I have fetish in dreamteam lol what now?

yea.. its not like he would go that much +

2013-09-13 21:09

If he was set to the rounds won as the IGL role itd really not make much difference, theyll probably still pound through their group anyway and after that you could switch him out.

2013-09-13 21:53

I hoped there wouldnt be many people that clever, damn ^^

2013-09-13 22:44

last place inc

Removing FETISH from "DT pick" option is probably a disadvantage to those who dont have him.

2013-09-13 21:12

i want him back!!!!!!!!

2013-09-13 21:15

2013-09-13 21:16

I smell trouble.

2013-09-13 21:19

sad

Just in case you don't know device is an extremely top notch igl also. I assume he will call

2013-09-13 21:24

Still though, device is like their main key to make big plays, this will limit him. Well i guess i cant say that for sure but its likely, bjt what other options do they have :p kinda cold he bailed on them like this but i dont know the full story. Hopefully hes okay!

2013-09-13 21:51

LOL.

2013-09-14 00:10

This it nothing about socN what so ever BUT that really sux, a major weakness in my mind for the team allready before it has startet :(

2013-09-13 21:31

this squad is always unlucky with their line-up and I was hoping for them to get top3 at least and that seems distant now...

2013-09-13 21:48

Well play like nip! Adapt to others and aim the fuck out of other teams. I wish Them the best, it might be fun to watch. GLGL team madfragger.

2013-09-13 22:01

my dreamteam ;/

2013-09-13 22:05

A major setback, but still - one of the only teams I know that has 4 players with IGL experience, tho' Fetish is by far the best. They might be okay afterall

2013-09-13 22:13

fuck, i have to change my dreamteam -.-

2013-09-13 22:18

Even though socN is great, wouldn't it be better to get someone like glaive or hunden?

2013-09-13 22:32

pretty sure they tried.

2013-09-13 22:54

Nah. Since they played with SocN at Raidcall i think that was their first choice. He did a great job last time, and know them personally.

2013-09-13 23:09

i only said that cos of this line: "the team and management were forced to work around the clock in order to find a proper replacement for the long-standing team captain."

2013-09-14 02:05

It wasn't their first choice :)

2013-09-14 14:06

FeTiSh isnt a lan dodger must be something real why he isnt attending. GL gonna be hard without fetish tho

2013-09-13 22:55

Playing without super advanced strats isnt always such a huge set back, especially not when you got players like xyp, dev etc and then add socN! Hopefully they can perform decent anyways!

2013-09-13 23:21

WTFFFFFFFFFFFF

2013-09-13 23:59

Rumour is that something happened to fetish's dad last night which caused him to tap out for this event.

2013-09-14 00:55

no IGL :o

2013-09-14 00:58

why socn LOL take in from awezome players better choice

2013-09-14 02:44

Aaaaand there goes CPH from any possibility from ranking top 3. Hell, socN is not a bad player, but losing the IGL after so much practise will definitely ruin their chances of winning at all...
