ave takes over as North's coach

26-1-2018 15:27

After a disappointing Major, North have decided to relieve their coach Casper "ruggah" Due and replace him with Alexander "ave" Holdt.

Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due has been a part of this core since May 2016, when Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen led a team featuring Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann and Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel, and played a part in the squad's biggest achievement a few months later—winning EPICENTER 2016.

ave will be taking over ruggah's position

Following North's 0-3 run at the ELEAGUE Major 2018, the Danish organization has decided to end the cooperation with their current coach and bring Alexander "⁠ave⁠" Holdt up, putting him in charge of the first team. Up to now, ave's work was a combination of analysis for the first team and coaching of North Academy, with Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke speaking highly of him and his work in our interview during ESL One Cologne 2017.

North's Director of Esports Jonas "⁠whimp⁠" Svendsen noted that being with the players every day was something that ruggah couldn't do, and the organization thought was needed:

"We have looked long and hard at our setup and concluded, that we needed our First Team Coach to be in the office with the players every day. Due to Casper’s situation, that was not a possibility for him however."

"At the same time I am happy to see Alexander take up the reigns, and I have high hopes that he, together with MSL and the rest of the team, will turn around the current situation."

ave added his own statement:

"I am incredibly excited to take on the job as North's First Team Coach. I want to create a distinct North playstyle together with the team, and from my time working as an analyst with them, I know that we share many of the same views on how to play the game."

The squad is set for a LAN debut with their new coach at cs_summit 2 in February, while the organization will be looking for a new North Academy coach in the meantime.

North is now:

Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen
René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg
Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup
Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså

Alexander "⁠ave⁠" Holdt (coach)

THEY are just lacking motivation, since the danish teams get that much money they all started sucking dick.

2018-01-26 19:01

and everything they need to do is to go home and keep practice that's what they need to do, they have done good things many times so let them practice by themself and then they show you good result again and by the way I don't see you are north fan so why are you even talking

2018-01-26 19:04

rofl everything about you screams ''12 year old kiddo'' I need to be a north fan and a professional player in order to analyse CS? absolute fucking idiot :DDD Cya in 6 months when they finally make it to playoffs and you'll say ''see, they just needed to go home and practice'' fucking idiot

2018-01-26 19:06

waow you coulnd't even answer back on that and you analyst HAHA you are terrible and 6 month yeah right if you think there go 6 months then fine but I know they doesn't care about your opinion because they have something you don't have and that's moral if you even know what the fuck that means kid

2018-01-26 19:08

12 year old calls and adult a kid, haha classic. used to do that when I was 12, although I wasn't this braindead luckily

2018-01-26 19:09

2018-01-26 15:54

cuz hes playing as an awper rofl he got forced into it

2018-01-26 16:11

lol awpers are usually star players pick any team except c9, every awper is a fucking banger

2018-01-26 16:44

the danish scene doesnt have any top awpers thats thy device and cajun had to become mainawpers cuz there are no fucking awpers in denmark besides jugi nowadays cajun really should go back to rifle again and take over aizys role

2018-01-26 16:48

juuuuugiiiiiiiiii

2018-01-26 16:49

Or mertz btw

2018-01-26 17:05

It's fucking north (PSG csgo divsion) just buy some good awper, they get better results playing with magisk without awp.

2018-01-26 20:06

psg csgo division? xd its fc copenhagen and they are not that rich

wow, legend

great move, best igl of all time

nice

Nice

Danish shuffle?

legend, on par with zonic

Konkel? 1 year?

noice

the coach was the problem not cajunb LOL

after all, they are owned by the football club FC Copenhagen! And football teams usually change the coach, not the players :P

2018-01-26 15:31

Every MSL led team since nico was still in his prime has always had at least one (but usually two) players in roles they're not comfortable with ... or doing something they aren't very good at (compared to other people in their field). CajunB is another casualty of that.

2018-01-26 15:33

Not going to save the team lul

just dont pay them money, maybe then they will start play.

the start of the danish shuffle

Nice, now bring mertz from the academy team, too.

He couldn't be in the same room as them every day? That bad, huh?

-CajunB

just need cajunb and aizy out now

legend ave

Hopefully this in only a step in the many steps required to reach the top for North.

this is very unexpected news especially on part "We have looked long and hard at our setup and concluded, that we needed our First Team Coach to be in the office with the players every day. Due to Casper’s situation, that was not a possibility for him however."

ave was a mastermind in his era, GL

Gl ave, legend!!

I think a danish shuffle is needed, probably mertz to north and then cajunb to heroic to be back to rifling, some nub from heroic to north acad, also kjaerbye exchange for valde

Kjaerbye best player in astralis wtf u talking about blyat

2018-01-26 17:19

'' I know that we share many of the same views on how to play the game." Well that worked great the last few months...

2018-01-26 15:34

he's gonna teach them how to use deagle trust me :)

North most boring team in the scene..

ahhh well, this might be a good change, sure. thru workin with the academy team for a long time and obviously his past glory in 1.6 im sure ave can be a great coach. but: if they think thats all they need to change then theyre gonna get their anusses destroyed just like it happened at the major xD

2018-01-26 15:35

You can't fail with such a handsome coach!

Expected bigger change tbh

Arcadion could do good work as a coach as well I'm sure.

2018-01-26 20:19

won't fix their problems

2018-01-26 15:59

ave is a real mastermind nice choice

new coach isn't the fix but whatever...

2018-01-26 16:01

Ave knows his shit, he was a brilliant caller back in the day. Still one of my all time favorite lineups was ave, whimp, MJE, Sunde and zonic

Agreed!

2018-01-26 16:47

The problem is that MSL never could figure out where aizy fit in the puzzle, and got rid of magisk for valde as if that would help anything Ave is great but I have my doubts this is what the team really needs

2018-01-26 16:03

ave wycc

2018-01-26 16:08

Are those old player with no job ? or they just quit a regular job for coaching ?

still bad

2018-01-26 16:22

zonic = Astralis' coach and now ave = North coach. Good decision btw, mTw.dk was one of the best teams ever, along with Na`Vi, fnatic, SK, the Poles, NiP.

2018-01-26 18:22

What a retarded change, it has nothing to do with the coaches. I'll tell you the probs right here: - CajunBOT's less than mediocre awping isn't sufficient. - Where the fuck was k0nfig? I'll tell you where, in the dumpster. Step up. - Aizy still too shit for tier 1. Solution: Tell shitfig to step up or gtfo, and kick CajunBOT and Aizy.

2018-01-27 00:03

North could be a very solid lineup if they kick cajunb and get someone like JUGi. Young and hungry. JUGi awp is much better than cajunb's awp, and JUGI's rifles are miles better than cajunb. Cajunb may have more experience, but JUGi is definitely an upgrade in terms of RAW skill.
