xelos parts ways with Epsilon

Over the past two weeks Epsilon have been playing without Jerry "⁠xelos⁠" Råberg, fielding stand-ins Niclas "⁠PlesseN⁠" Plessen and Fredrik "⁠slap⁠" Junbrant in his stead during the ECS Season 2 Development league open qualifier #2, and DreamHack Bucharest closed qualifier, respectively.

Today the organization announce the release of the 23-year-old, who has been part of the Swedish roster officially since June 1 after a month-long trial period, while the squad are currently looking into replacements.

Under xelos's leadership, Epsilon garnered wins at Pro Gamer League Summer and ESPORTSM, as well as a second place at ASUS ROG Summer following a loss to Space Soldiers.

“I’m no longer the team captain of Epsilon nor am I a part of the team. It has been a very nice journey playing with new talents and we managed to become a great team and also to take home two titles and show a lot of good counter-strike.

As you all know, I was the In game leader of Epsilon and I split with the team due to them taking this decision.

I want to thank all the guys in the team for giving me the chance to play with them! But mostly I want to thank the people behind Epsilon especially Greg, Samy and Kurtis for making my time in Epsilon the best I’ve ever had in a organization, thank you. I know we will cross paths again sooner or later.

Right now I’ll focus on playing as much as possibly while maintaining my mindset and goals and develop myself as a player and leader. I’m looking forward to my next challenge!”
