MODDII stands in for SK at DHW

27-11-2013 20:17

Andreas "MODDII" Fridh will be standing in for SK Gaming at DreamHack Winter following the release of Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi, HLTV.org has learned.

Only two days before the biggest tournament of the year is set to start, SK Gaming have let go of Jacob "pyth" Mourujärvi's services.

Rumours have been going around the community that Andreas "MODDII" Fridh will step in for SK Gaming, and HLTV.org has learned he was indeed chosen as the replacement for Mourujärvi as expected.

MODDII will be wearing a SK jersey once again

That means Fridh will be returning to the organisation after a stint back in 2010, when he joined in July for Arbalet Cup Dallas and remained in the lineup as a stand-in until the end of the year.

This change applies to the SteelSeries CS:GO Championship at DreamHack Winter only though, which means SK will eventually have to find a full-time replacement for the future.

With the addition of Fridh, SK Gaming's lineup at DreamHack Winter will look as follows:

Marcus "Delpan" Larsson
Faruk "pita" Pita
Simon "twist" Eliasson
Jerry "xelos" Råberg
Andreas "MODDII" Fridh

SK Gaming were drawn into Friday's Group D alongside Astana Dragons, Copenhagen Wolves and one of the two teams coming from the BYOC qualifier.

And MODDII is the worst player for chemistry. Good work.

2013-11-27 20:51

Haha +1 . He is a complete retard.

2013-11-28 06:30

surely its not a stand in :)

I don't know if they already pracced some strategy on csgo with him, will see.

3 replies

ofc they have. Do you think they will go to DHW without praccing any strategies/tactics with MODDII?:D

2013-11-27 20:42

2 replies

Yeah but they didn't pracc as much as others, every other team is pretty much fully prepared for this DH, unlike SK.

Ofc every other team will be much more prepared than SK. SK will be some kind of "wildcard" in this tournament.

2013-11-27 20:50

+1 They should've pulled that move long before.

I'm guessing they're calling it stand-in since both parties (SK and moddii) want to see how it goes at DH first.

"at DH first" you're talking as DH isnt the main goal

2013-11-27 20:32

I'm talking about his title (stand-in). The fact that he's been taken in right before DH is undoubtably due to.. DH.

2013-11-27 20:47

DH isn't end of the world, SK now has very strong lineup

2013-11-27 21:03

They know each other already, that could help i guess .. It's not the best move, but maybe pyth was kinda problematic or something so they prefer to play with MODDII instead.

2013-11-27 20:41

About the best stand-in they could possibly get. I dont think SK would like to see another BeatIt! performance from pyth. MODDI is clearly with no questions asked the better choice for them at the moment

2013-11-27 21:29

cool

glhf

face to join SK after DH

no.

Imo sk to release this team after DH since they will probably fail to get out alive from the group stage (^_^) and considering VG will be no more VG for 2014... who knows.

2013-11-27 20:46

this

2013-11-27 22:11

What a surprise /s

they will fail and get kicked after DH

i think sk deserve better then moddiii

2013-11-27 21:30

Won't make it out of groups anyway so it doesnt matter.

Don't think they have a chance, unless delpan and moddii just go completely mental.

twist?xelos?

pita? Whats your point? That I don't mention those guys? They are good, but if they want to win I think those two will have to step up!

how come you say that delpan and moddi have to peform when twist xelos performed way better than both them in lots of tournaments?doesnt make any sense

exactly, if all of them perform then they have a chance!

How come you don't see what he is writing?

2013-11-27 23:55

goodsan luckysan

wont get past the groupstage itself, AD and CW too strong for em. Good luck though moddii!

gl sk, u need it !

Is this true ? suprising!

they will win DHW 2013, and kick MODDII, more money for SK! YEY, WIN!

wouldnt be surprised if SK pulled that off

Lows

2013-11-27 20:22

SURPRISE!

fuck sk , what they do to pyth

w0w really unexpected.

Gl hf MODDII

2013-11-27 20:28

the thing is it's just fucking stupid to kick pyth like a day before the biggest tournament ever :D

2013-11-27 20:38

2013-11-27 20:39

pyth should be a 6th just for online tournaments

2013-11-27 20:40

lol shut up

ROFL :D

2013-11-27 20:49

+zet & +jumpy U ARE WELCOME,MAkers! =D

fail with him in sk

RIP in peace SK.

They won't make it to semis and will get dropped by SK immediately after

SK signing VG, trusth me.

2013-11-27 20:52

It baffles me that people still want to play with this guy.

yup

2013-11-27 20:56

he's counterstrike's ibrahimovic. 0 loyalty

2013-11-27 20:58

moddii said he would never play for SK again for a thousand years because of the way they treated him last time. Ow well.

Nothing changes with pyth or with moddii they wont do any major damage, as much as I like the name SK this is not the best team available.

2013-11-27 20:59

if dreamhack goes well and NiP doesnt change -> SK moddii if they fail at dreamhack and so does NiP -> NiP moddii if they play well at dreamhack and NiP changes -> NiP moddii easy. both parties holding every option open.

2013-11-27 21:01

pyth is so much better xD

2013-11-27 21:09

2013-11-27 21:32

They will have TONS to catch up on after the group stage, and plenty of time to do it.

2013-11-27 21:50

SK disband after DHW.

2013-11-27 21:58

2013-11-27 22:12

boring..

2013-11-27 22:19

Actually MODDII was a monster in the past, when he was not IGL. It will be interesting to see them together.

2013-11-27 22:28

#moddii #run

2013-11-27 22:44

Can't stand SK, they'll do rubbish and fall apart after DH. Delpan has to be the most overrated fuck in csgo

2013-11-27 23:34

When can I put moddii on my dreamteam? Right now you guys still have pyth on SK's roster for dreamteam.

2013-11-28 01:02

expect sk to have a major lineup reshuffle after DHW.

2013-11-28 03:56

lol moddii the trash can gg sk

2013-11-28 04:42

And the guy who destroys everyteam comes again. gg SK, disband.

2013-11-28 06:31

It will be very good for MODDII and SK gaming,coz both have pretty good feelings of working together few years ago.I hope sk will show us amazing play

2013-11-28 07:10

troll?SK said that moddi would be in the "super team" of 2011 with f0rest and gtr after playing some crazy shit cs standing in for them with walle allen and some other washed ups..and then they announced the team without telling him anything xD
