krimz steps down from TEAMGLOBAL

12-6-2014 19:11

Freddy "krimz" Johansson has announced that he has stepped down from his place in TEAMGLOBAL

The Swedish team have been going through a rough patch since parting company with LGB eSports back in May, despite rumours suggesting they could be picked up by Alliance, something that has so far failed to materialise.

Earlier in the month, TEAMGLOBAL had already been given a hard blow when Dennis "dennis" Edman decided to become inactive after accepting a full-time job.

krimz exits TEAMGLOBAL

Now, with less than 48 hours to go before the start of DreamHack Summer, the Swedish team have witnessed the departure of another player as Freddy "krimz" Johansson has lost his drive as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the squad.

"When we left LGB, we had high ambitions, but when things did not work out and Dennis quit, it suddenly felt as though we were not a team anymore," Johansson told fragbite.se.

"Because we lacked the financial support I simply lost my motivation."

TeamGLOBAL have been drawn in Group D of DreamHack Summer, together with Na´Vi, AliGon and one of the two teams who will come from the BYOC qualifier.

The Swedish team currently have:

Olof "olofm" Kajbjer
Isak "cype" Rydman
Simon "twist" Eliasson
Christian "Spitfire" Schiölde (stand-in)

i think they left LGB in anticipation of SK picking up a csgo squad, and their plan went to shit when SK picked up pita's team

Yeah thats a good theory. But the one i answered anticipated that TG got kicked by their sponsors, but it was actually TG's choice to stand alone for a while, since they had money to manage for a while.

It was such a good team. Wow.

2014-06-12 19:13

Remember when people were certain they'd join Alliance? Game dead, team dead. Seriously though, when there is no proper organization willing to pick up a team with their résumé, how can the game possibly be on the right tracks?

lol? what resume? They didn't even win a single tournament, even Na'Vi has more achievements.

Exactly. They had shown they could hang with the best consistently, but were not big enough to demand (high) salaries or anything. Give them proper payout/practice conditions and motivation, and you could comparatively cheaply have a top contender on your side. The perfect pickup for someone wanting to enter the scene.

2014-06-12 19:23

exactly? you claimed they had a resume, and they don't. they never won anything worthwhile or memorable, and although they are skilled, they never once set themselves apart from mid-tier teams like Clan-Mystik, Na'Vi, HellRaisers, or even compLexity. not every team can land a sponsor, especially one that never won a major tournament, and their chances at getting one were probably hurt when dennis left. unfortunately for them, they didn't have a competitive squad when fnatic was looking for a team. nothing in any of your posts actually supports the notion that the game is dead.

2014-06-12 19:35

You know, a résumé doesn't necessarily mean "having placed 1st". 3-4th EMS One Katowice 2014 7-8th Fragbite Masters 2014 2nd Svecup Finals 2013 5-6th fnatic FragOut League 3 5-8th DreamHack Winter 2013 2nd FACEIT March Cup 1st FACEIT December Cup 3-4th Fragbite Masters 2013 And in terms of setting themselves apart from other mid-tier teams, you know, those other mid-tier teams actually do have proper organizations backing them. Also, you can't tell "game is dead" was an exaggeration? It remains true that LGB not getting an appropriate backing is a bad sign for the game. And dennis leaving is a bad argument, seeing as how he left because they didn't get proper backing.

+1 Sponsors aren't looking for #1 placements necessarily, they only want publicity. Reaching the quarter/semi finals is enough to get a good organisation.

2014-06-12 20:31

LGB are a decent team, but you spoke about a resume and i don't think they have one. 3-4th on EMS one 7-8th on fragbite? is that really worth mentioning? 2nd swecup? is that worth mentioning? 5-6 fnatic fragout is that worth mentioning? 5-8 dreamhack winter is that worth mentioning? 2nd faceit was with a mix 1st faceit is ok 3-4 fragbite might be ok. The team has potential there is no arguing about that, but the only point im here to present they are a really decent team but they have no resume, they were about to build one and it could have been a strong one but sorry what you posted can hardly qualify as a resume.

2014-06-13 12:41

2 replies

5-8 dreamhack winter is definitely worth mentioning, they went 1-2 against NiP in the 1/8 finals, that's very strong

2014-06-13 23:05

Yeah, placing 3-4th in a tournament with a higher pricepot than there ever was before in CS is hardly a resume. Get real.

2014-06-14 00:32

LOL are you a retard?They have 10x more prizemoney won then na vi in the last 6 months.They are always on of the top contenders for top 4 at lan.So stfu n00b

I know that you have never been presented to a sponsor or anything like that, but let me simplify this for you. If you go to a job opportunity and you are sat down in front of the head of the HR when he asks you whats your resume you don't answer i have money.

2014-06-13 12:35

1 reply

Well yeah but maybe being able to answer "I belong to TOP 10 people in the world who can do this job" could help a little don't you think ? :D And there is no doubt they were a TOP10 team, maybe even TOP5. If such a team can't find a decent organisation, then I really don't know who can.

2014-06-13 16:15

If it was about tournaments only NiP would have an orga.

2014-06-12 20:17

I think they actually won a LAN in Sweden

2014-06-12 19:34

They need to create a new team with just stars, always loved watching them play.

2014-06-12 19:22

Can't really understand what was the reasoning behind leaving LGB, when there wasn't any other organisation waiting to pick them up. Guess things didn't go as planned. Overall, one dissapointing blow again to TG. With the original line-up they'd place easily top 5 in DH.

2014-06-12 19:23

2 replies

from what their "Manager" said on fragbite they had an organisation after LGB but when dennis left they org doesn't wanna sign 4 people so they wait for 5th before signing to them.

2014-06-12 19:39

1 reply

Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that one up. I just hope they get a solid five man line-up and backing from a good org because I believe that this core team with two motivated player picks could inflict some serious damage.

Man only if Dennis left earlier, I'm sure they would've signed with SK, and then without dennis pick up pyth. Replace cype with someone else, and you got yourself a formidable team to compete. So sad.

Very much agreed. I remember two months ago I believe, where he carried LGB on season against Na'Vi. If anything their old roster coulda competed for the top spot, but it's so sad to see all this news. Like my stomach dropped when I read that the team is slowly dissipating. As for you getting kicked out of AliGon was even more disappointing.

2014-06-12 20:48

quite true.. +1, he was the most stable player in the team, always fraggin and stuff

2014-06-12 21:37

True leaders lead by example and by all accounts he held up his end. Sry to troll you in the other thread, what I said was true of mOE his negativity is nothing but a bain. For your sake keep your head up and stay positive at all costs it's the only way to succeed.
