LGB add twist and cype

11-2-2014 19:34

LGB eSports have removed Mikail "eksem" Bill and Alexander "SKYTTEN" Carlsson in favor of SK Gaming duo Simon "twist" Eliasson and Isak "cype" Rydman.

LGB eSports first broke out as a potential contender at DreamHack Winter, where they finished 5-8th after wins versus Na`Vi and Clan-Mystik, and a map win against NiP.

After DreamHack they placed second at Svecup Grand Final 2013 behind NiP, once again after taking a map from the Ninjas and overall after a much closer 1-2 series.

twist leaves SK to join LGB

The squad's most recent official match came in December, when they bested fnatic in FACEIT's monthly finals, thanks to a monster performance by then stand-in Eliasson.

Now the team has decided to part ways with two of its members, in order to bring in Eliasson and his SK Gaming teammate Rydman, a duo who also played together in LD.

"We are pleased to announce a new chapter starting in LGB in form of two new players joining our CS:GO ranks." Kevin "Kevz" Mikkelsen, manager of LGB eSports said in a statement.

"It is always sad to see great players leave, but despite the results, the team felt they could not evolve their gameplay any further, and that led to a mutual agreement between players and LGB eSports on letting Maikel “eksem” Bill and Alexander “SKYTTEN” Carlsson, follow another road.

"To cover the loss of two great players we want to welcome Isak “cype” Rydman and Simon “twist” Eliasson into LGB eSports.

"We want to thank Maikel and Alex for the amazing journey we had together and wish them the best of luck in the future.

In addition, a big thanks all of our sponsors Xtrfy, Gunnar Glasses, Crucial, MaxFPS and Orcbite and our fans for their continuous support."

Rydman expressed his joy about joining the new team in a statement of his own:

"We're really happy to be here and we feel comfortable about this new lineup.

We are really looking forward to the upcoming tournaments and we think we will be able
to achieve some good results.

A Big thanks to LGB eSports, Xtrfy, Gunnar Glasses, Crucial, MaxFPS and Orcbite for their support."

LGB eSports:

Isak "cype" Rydman
Dennis "dennis" Edman
Freddy "KRiMZ" Johansson
Olof "olofm" Kajbjer
Simon "twist" Eliasson

LGB eSports will next be on show in Fnatic FragOut League 3, set to start this week. They will also participate in EMS One Katowice's $250,000 tournament on March 13-16.

Yeah :( they added a great duo but lost one aswell, esp skytten was insane. and it seemed to mesh really well ingame eith the old squad, so wonsering why they switched. Then again, if you can get your hands on twist...

2014-02-11 22:13

Its Eskem,skytten,pyth,spitfire and someone more

2014-02-12 15:47

SK will drop the line.

2014-02-11 21:02

A shame they overlooked the rule that says its illegal to have olof and twist in the same team.. would have been a great lineup.

2014-02-11 21:49

What? So they wont be able to play EMS together or? Or was this just a joke? Lol

2014-02-11 19:46

wtf

2014-02-11 20:22

Come on dude...

2014-02-11 22:01

I thought there was a rule that you can't switch between two qualifying teams or something. Then I realized SK didn't even qualify and understood that it's a joke, which was obvious when i re-read his post. (and there's obviously no rule about this, I just assumed since he said it was ilegall. That's why I was pretty surprised).

2014-02-11 22:19

honest mistake

2014-02-12 01:07

TOO MUCH POWAH

2014-02-11 19:41

What rule?

2014-02-11 21:05

gl :D sad for eksem and skytten though :/ Are they joining SK ?

Hopefully not. Don't want them to fall so hard (,_.)

yup. But I don't see where they can find a spot, unless they start something up or go to "lower" teams.

2014-02-11 20:07

sTRONKKKK

really good change

2014-02-11 19:38

Really liked the old team but this doesn't look bad either.

2014-02-11 19:39

Twist top5 Sweden

6 replies

Top 3 SWE

2014-02-11 20:03

Agreed.

2014-02-11 20:50

I would vote 1 f0rest / GTR 2 f0rest / GTR 3 Twist / Xizt

2014-02-11 21:04

and olofm? wich spot? 4?

2014-02-11 21:12

I did not watch him that much to comment about that :)but i heard hes sick

2014-02-11 21:30

hes a beast. GTR forest xizt friberg twist jw flusha dennis olofm schneider sickest top10 swe invidually in no order.

2014-02-12 10:19

Very nice, gl!

old team was better

2014-02-11 19:40

this team is top5 eu on paper, hope they can live up to hype

2014-02-11 20:11

they will change line up in 1 month max

2014-02-11 20:23

Nope :)

2014-02-11 21:18

2months?

2014-02-11 22:03

twist + cype = magic.

2014-02-12 00:28

Skytten?

Delpan/pyth better than cype......but he is not bad xD

If you take the old SK, then old LGB, Delpan was the worst player among those. There still are about 10 players in Sweden better than Delpan even if we exclude the current fnatic, NiP, LGB and rest of possible SK.

2014-02-11 21:08

Delpan & twist were the best 2 in SK....but the problem is that Delpan = Awper and LGB got dennis....

2014-02-11 23:20

Well we seem to disagree here and I'm fine with that.

2014-02-11 23:48

Mikail "eksim" Bill :D?

risky move

Top 5 no doubt, wouldn't be surprised if they take down nip and vg.

2014-02-11 19:42

toppest kek m8ington

how can they drop "eksim" when they never had such a player as "eksim"?

2014-02-11 19:43

This team seems now really strong. All this time, LGB needed player like twist. Combination of olofm-dennis-twist looks now powerful LGB is top 2 in Sweden righ now, back of Fnatic.

2014-02-11 19:51

The new NiP

Guys where's moddii?

2014-02-11 19:45

I think he will be replace twist in SK

2014-02-11 19:48

rip sk

Twist and olofm OP. GL

twist dennis olofm, wow. same calibre as f0rest get_right friberg.

2014-02-11 19:47

they get stronger :o

crazy lineup! kRiMZ needs to control those 4 madaimers

2014-02-11 19:49

madaimers 4h4h4

2014-02-11 19:50

good changes imo, twist is an insane fragger and cype is a good teamplayer

2014-02-11 19:52

Skytten ;_;

2014-02-11 19:54

Eksem and Lidde are campers in DM, really :(.

2014-02-11 19:59

Atleast official, LGB always showed great porformance as undergons and now even stronger, good luck guys! =]

2014-02-11 20:00

next super team to come

2014-02-11 20:01

super haha

2014-02-11 20:28

on paper they are stronger than fnatic now. which obviously means they will go out very soon on FOO3.

By your logic they are top1 now.. but calm down they are just top4. 1. Fnatic 2. Titan 3. NiP 4. LGB

2014-02-11 23:06

why the fuck titan > nip?????????????????????????????????

2014-02-12 08:04

talking rawskill they surely are better than fnatic, but as you should know theres way more... and the top 10 is very vague anyway, you could name atleast 15 times who deserve a topten spot..

2014-02-12 17:28

Fnatic is not the best team in the world, good joke though.

2014-02-17 06:30

top5 eu easy...

2014-02-11 20:08

hell yeahhh dopppe line upp!

2014-02-11 20:14

tell twist to start streaming again pls :D

2014-02-11 20:17

Skytten and eksem deserved better than this. Where do they go now? It feels like a hobo changed place with a rich person. And twist and cype was the hobos and Skytten and eksem were the rich guys. And it's now all opposite. Skytten and eksem are now the hobos. GJ kevvs!

2014-02-11 20:18

20 replies

Actually twist and cype came from Sk so they were rich... They got richer and eksem and skytten lost their jobs so now they're hobos

2014-02-11 20:25

Idc if they were from sk, they didnt preform good as team. LGB was way better than SK. I talk about the performance of the team.

2014-02-11 20:29

They played katowice qualifiers with pyth, spitfire and lidde.

2014-02-11 20:26

whats your problem?They just felt team that team reached their max potential and changed 2 players?

Am talking about kicking two players from a good team, and taking in 2 guys from a bad team.

2014-02-11 20:30

HAHAha taking 2 bad guys?Twist is probably one of the best players in sweden xD

2014-02-11 20:34

Bad team doesnt mean bad players....

2014-02-11 20:35

twist+olofm+dennis = unstoppable

2014-02-12 09:33

u got to be kidding

2014-02-11 20:32

What is your problem, why is it you blame me? :D You have absoulutely no clue what on earth you are talking about do you, you just write something and hope its correct?

me?

You, i didnt reply to you? :D

ah,sry

2014-02-11 20:37

can u tell twist to start streaming again?XD

2014-02-11 20:39

As you can see, in my comment you replied to, I, was describing how I was feeling sorry for eksem and skytten. For leaving sucha great and successfull team, and will probably joining Sk? People seem to, even you. Miss the point..

2014-02-11 20:47

I give up.. Pointless..

2014-02-11 20:52

you are pointless

2014-02-11 20:54

Okay :) - new troll of HLTV

2014-02-11 20:55

Tog alligevel 5-6 comments før du kom frem til det :D

2014-02-12 08:42

2014-02-11 20:56

i really liked eksem's defence

Good move! Really like new lineup

Nobody wants to play with Delpan... =D

LGBEASTS. Best of luck. Feeling sorry for eksem and skytten though.

OH YES. I miss pyth though!

2014-02-11 21:14

SK Gaming about to sign ubergeekz? To bad they didn't buy the whole LGB lineup.

2014-02-11 21:19

fuuuuck better was kick krimz worst player on lan, SKYTTEN sometimes was best in team

2014-02-11 21:27

new chapter bla bla bla

2014-02-11 21:32

people hating on cype should back off. he's a great player. a lot of times you see him topfragging even though he's a support player (and i think he's among the top5 supports in csgo atm) ...and no, i'm not from Source so you can see that i am objective here... and no, i don't want to hear any "jw best" jokes

2014-02-11 21:37

saucer knows nothing :D cype may be best support but not best (jw best)

2014-02-12 15:45

"Orga made by 5 friends ... bf4ever blabla"

2014-02-11 21:45

Nice lu

2014-02-11 21:51

I dont like this, old lgb was sick Feeling sorry for eksem and skytten But this lineup is sick too gl lgb and gl eksem & skytten

2014-02-11 22:02

The olofm, twist and dennis trio sounds devastating, real aim monsters all of them. Best of luck in the future!

2014-02-11 22:09

SKYTTEN :<

2014-02-11 22:10

olof 4 minister

Honestly, SKYTTEN is a badass player. I would keep him. Can't say much about eksem, but twist is clearly a natural aimbot :D

2014-02-11 22:15

Nice line-up. Eksem & Skytten are sick players too, gl in another team.

2014-02-11 22:21

Probably: Eksem Skytten Pyth Spitfire Lidde

2014-02-12 01:27

strong on paper. lets see how chemistry will work

2014-02-11 22:28

good change :)

2014-02-11 22:57

twist strong

2014-02-11 23:55

I really enjoyed watching LGB play, a small small "favorite" after fnatic. Good luck and have fun during 2014 boys :)

2014-02-12 00:31

RIP Skytten

2014-02-12 01:35

Delpan SKYTTEN Pyth rdl eksem blz

2014-02-16 01:18

current sk lineup ? ..

2014-02-12 03:14

SK starts to fail when they kick cype for pyth, despite the fact that pyth was maaaad. It's obvious the apport of cype in a team. Plus, twist is better with his forever mate cype. GL HF LGB Esport.

2014-02-12 04:00

Hope for a SK line up with ... Delpan Moddi Zneel Khrystal and Pitta

2014-02-12 05:37

glgl

2014-02-12 07:42

:( Hope that eksem and skytten will be finding a nice team. Though, in the long run this might benefit all parts. Dennis, olof and twist mad combo. gl guys.

2014-02-12 08:43

Now lgb will be better than NiP. =)

2014-02-12 08:58

Feel sorry for Skytten. I thought he was one of the best players in that team.

2014-02-12 09:02

New swe mixteam inc, Spitfire SKYTTEN eksem rdl pyth (n!/LGB Merge =DDD )

2014-02-12 09:39

Not sure about this. I think its not that smart to destroy the old roster, which had an insany chemistry lately. Still, Twist is one of the best swedish players and im looking forward to see the new lu in officals.

2014-02-12 09:58
