Tricked set to lose team

25-5-2017 13:58

Tricked have announced that they will not be extending the contracts of their CS:GO squad.

In a statement, Tricked CEO Morten "Phy" Jensen explained that the management and the team could not come to an agreement regarding a contract renewal, with the players free to pursue other opportunities after June 30.

This brings to an end a year-long association with team captain Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen, who was recruited in May 2016 to lead the former Reason Gaming squad.

HUNDEN's team seek a new home

While representing Tricked, the team's most notable achievements include a semi-final run at Copenhagen Games, a 5th-8th place at ESWC and a 5th-6th place at DreamHack Open Tours.

"We had many talks with our players and the board over the last couple months, without any real progress, while they received a lot of offers after their performance at Dreamhack Tours," Mr. Jensen said in a statement.

"The era of God Hunden has to come to an end.

"While we're saddened about it, Nicolai has been with Tricked for over a year now, and I'm very proud of the results we ended up with, after more than 12 months of hard work.

"It's hard to find more dedicated players, with the drive and ambition to become the best.

"Hunden has been the captain of the team, helping the new players feel welcome and shotcalling for everyone.

The Tricked boss added that the organisation is already on the lookout for a new team, with news expected in time for the Summer event season.

The Danish team consist of:

Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen
Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen
Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup
Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen
Michael "⁠Friis⁠" Jørgensen

Why would any organization who previously had a T2 team pick up a lineup like NiP? They suck

2017-05-25 17:39

Because you can't see the bigger picture not everything is about ingame performance

2017-05-25 20:30

What

aw man rip, they had potential

how does a new organisation change that? :D

2017-05-25 14:06

Motivational people, motivational goals, motivational money eventually

2017-05-25 21:50

Yeah and they will sign better contracts now. They got better offers than tricked and chose not to renew the contracts with tricked because tricked couldnt offer that much. Or atleast thats what I understood from this. So, its only the beginning.

2017-05-25 14:29

That's about what I got out of it too. Plot twist, Astralis Academy.

2017-05-25 15:01

Just remember. Tricked has the support of a famous really rich former bank owner. The money are there. But agree. Money is always the issue

2017-05-25 17:24

Even if the money is there, it doesnt mean he wants to use it. Maybe someone else was overpricing the lineup, or maybe Tricked just wants to stay with lower teams.

2017-05-25 14:22

I'm pretty sure that hunden opens up an own organization like astralis big & co

2017-05-25 14:24

Could be Fnatic Ac, but I don't think it's them cus phy for sure won't pay a dime for a new team. So probably Singularity since they are better than tricked right now and looking for a new home, because their contracts are to expire within a few weeks.

2017-05-25 14:25

funny how tricked management thought they were the biggest org in denmark

2017-05-25 14:26

Tricked will probably pick up the old Fnatic Academy team. Not a big deal but this team isn't garbage they'll find a new org

2017-05-25 15:39

2017-05-25 15:41

2017-05-26 06:29

They won't achieve anything with hunden, sadly. Seriously, his fragging power is so low. He's really under the average. He could be a decent coach, but as an igl he has to frag something
