Epsilon pick up jenko

Epsilon have strengthened their squad with the addition of Tom "jenko" Jenkinson, Owen "smooya"' Butterfield has confirmed on Twitter.

The 18-year-old had been widely expected to join Epsilon on a permanent basis after playing for the team in recent weeks as a replacement for Cosmin-Mihai "⁠cosmeeeN⁠" Butuc, whose future is now up in the air.

Tom "⁠jenko⁠" Jenkinson was part of the Method squad that competed in the first two seasons of the Gfinity Elite Series, in which he averaged a 1.11 rating. Previously, he had represented fm-eSports, with whom he had won the UK Masters Season 2 and insomnia 59.

jenko will attend Copenhagen Games

The British player has joined up with the rest of the Epsilon squad for a two-week bootcamp in Belgium ahead of Copenhagen Games, which will begin on March 28. Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield's side will be taking part in the BYOC qualifier, featuring other big-name sides such as Rogue, Imperial and Windigo.

Epsilon now have:

United Kingdom Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield
United Kingdom Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man
Greece Konstantinos "⁠tsack⁠" Theodoropoulos
Sweden Robin "⁠robiin⁠" Sjögren
United Kingdom Tom "⁠jenko⁠" Jenkinson

u idiots talking about school and shit, clueless fucks stfu pls. reason to this stupid move was because robiin has a vac ban, the team would slowly but surely try to move him out of the team because they could easily attend minors/majors and ECS qualifiers, and since smooyas vac ban is not clear by Valve(im pretty sure he is vac banned), he made the smart move with robiin to bring in smooyas closest friend to the team, now they are 3 guys against 2? maybe even tsack is with smooya and them idk, but this is smooya and robiins move to make sure they are still in the team and not kicked becasue of vac bans obviously cosmeen would try other players instead of robiin, and later on it would be proven that smooya is also vacced, and rip careers

I didn’t think cosmeen was that good anyway, very inconsistent. High hopes for this lineup with Jenko, I think they’ll be better than the before

Fairly sure that Cosmeeen has finals this spring so he's most likely having an academic break
