hampus fills in for Epsilon at WESG

Epsilon have confirmed via their website that academy player Hampus "hampus" Poser will play for their main team at the WESG 2016 World Finals.

The 18-year-old will replace Karl-William "⁠kalle⁠" Haraldsen, Epsilon's designated stand-in, as the Norwegian is not eligible to play for the team due to the tournament's nationality restrictions.

Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser has earned the chance to play at his biggest event yet after catching the eye while playing for Epsilon's secondary team, called Epsilon Hype, who have competed in a series of online tournaments lately, including the recent eSportsArcadeTV Cup, in which they were eliminated by Tricked in the first round.


Epsilon are attending the event with an academy player 

Epsilon CEO Greg Champagne stated that the WESG finals will be "a great opportunity" for hampus to continue his development and added the remaining players believe that the youngster is "ready to get his first shot in the biggest competition today."

Epsilon, who have been drawn alongside .Russia, Virtus.pro, Team One, subtLe and EnVyUs in Group A of the WESG finals, are attending the event with:

Sweden William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin
Sweden Fredrik "⁠REZ⁠" Sterner
Sweden Fredrik "⁠freddieb⁠" Buö
Sweden André "⁠BARBARR⁠" Möller 
Sweden Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser

At the same time that I'm happy for him, I'm sad for Kalle. I really hope they don't kick kalle for him in case they have a good performance. Good luck boys!

+1, Kalle is a beast, he just needs a team that's willing to train with him and so far Epsilon has been helping him to regain his 1.6 perf.

Too bad Kalle is just like neo, sixer, trace, edward, zeus, n0thing, karrigan, markeloff and many others that since the transition to CSGO never managed to play at the same level they played at 1.6, really sad.

It was posted on twitter by some players but only just today on the Epsilon website. That's why HLTV took so long to write about it
