Refuse pick up ex-Aposis

Team Refuse have signed the Norwegian quintet who formerly played for Aposis.

Greece and United Kingdom-based organisation Team Refuse sported a prolific number of teams back in 2014, including Finnish and Danish teams at various points in time.

Since then, the organisation was dormant until today announcing the acquisiton of the Norwegian ex-Aposis players.

Aposis were recently seen competing in the Hitbox Arena Showdown and are also currently playing in CEVO Main (where the team have already qualified for Professional playoffs in sixth place), the StarSeries ProLadder, and ESEA Intermediate.

Team manager Bastian "⁠rawriez⁠" Skjelstad (who himself was an active player last year) gave an official statement on his team's thoughts on being signed by Refuse:

"We are very pleased to announce that we have come to an agreement with Team Refuse, resulting in what we hope will be a long-lasting and successful cooperation with said organization. Following our recent success in CEVO Main securing a spot in the play-offs and winning KBX (and approximately $5000 USD) in Oslo, we are very hopeful for our future as a team.

We will initially prove our worth online, which eventually will be followed up by international LAN event attendance if everything goes as planned. We recently also won KBX.no lan, where we won 3-1 in a bo5 lanmatch versus Lions, also secured ourselves approx. ~5000 dollars.

We wish to thank all old as well as new fans and friends for supporting us on our journey towards new heights. Lastly, we would like to send our thanks in the direction of Team Refuse (especially Nick) in addition to their partners, namely, Tesoro, Lenovo, Kinguin and GUNNAR Optiks."

Refuse's lineup is now:

Norway Tommy "⁠tomzey⁠" Weierød
Norway Håkon "⁠hk0n⁠" Kvande
Norway Lars "⁠k0na⁠" Engen Skadal
Norway Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes
Norway Endre "⁠phrzer⁠" Solhaug

Norway Bastian "⁠rawriez⁠" Skjelstad (manager)

Borrowing this comment just to say that the reason they were removed from the Aposis org, is that they were caught matchfixing in the biggest e-sports league in Norway proof:gamer.no/artikler/e-sport-counter-strike.. just use google translate, should work fine

You are wrong. The guys initially decided to give the opponents (Zodiacs Dragons) the default win as we had already left the organisation. Aposis then picked up a new team which was involved in this match fixing case. Summarised we have nothing to do with this. :)

Smart to check your sources before talking shit. The reason they left Aposis.org is because of really bad managment by the org itself. The matchfix is bs

To clearify to the people saying Aposis was caught matchfixing. This is correct HOWEVER it was not this lineup. This lineup left Aposis approx 2 months ago, whereas the matchfixing issue happened about a week ago with their new lineup. Don't trash teams unless you know the facts.

Out of all organisations and teams it's no wonder that ex-Aposis, a team known for match fixing joins Refuse who doesn't have a great reputation themselves. Coincidence? I think not.
