Red Reserve bench twist; open to offers

14-9-2018 19:27

Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson ended on the bench of Red Reserve following the team's 5-6th placing at DreamHack Open Montreal.

With a short Twitter post, Red Reserve revealed that their 23-year-old AWPer was removed from the active roster and placed on the bench, effective immediately. As of now, it is not known who will replace twist, with more updates to follow "in the coming days".

twist is out of Red Reserve's active lineup and open to playing in European and North American teams

The organization didn't put out the reason for the benching but did state that they are open to offers for twist. Red Reserve's last tournament was DreamHack Open Monteal, where Alfred "⁠RuStY⁠" Karlsson stood-in for their IGL Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser, and before that they played the Europe Minor, finishing 5-6th at both events.

twist was the team's best performer over the last three months, sitting at a 1.12 rating. The news of his benching comes just shortly after Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell stated in our interview that twist was someone they were looking to pick up during fnatic's struggles in February.

Red Reserve currently have:

Fredrik "⁠freddieb⁠" Buö
Joakim "⁠disco doplan⁠" Gidetun
Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin
Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser

Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson (benched)

Christian "⁠chrille⁠" Lindberg (coach)

sorry to say that but hampus is the difference maker

2018-09-15 08:15

He's good definitely but twist was better and is more experienced.

2018-09-15 08:23

yeah he was 6month ago, but now cmon

2018-09-15 08:26

We'll see once he settle down!

2018-09-15 08:29

i mean he can bounce back and he is definitely good maybe he will gain motivation in a new team a become good again like guardian did, and im fine with it

2018-09-15 08:33

So am I. He's way too good for this shit.

2018-09-15 08:34

He probably benched himself

2018-09-15 05:43

Hes looking for new opportunities as you can see

2018-09-15 11:34

fnatic twist

hopefully

Hope he finds a good team he deserves it

he declined the offers from both NiP and fnatic in the past, lul

2018-09-14 19:32

inb4 ''Singularity signs twist''

2018-09-14 23:10

He’s actually surprisingly garbage player

2018-09-16 10:06

GG Red Reserve

Unexpected.

refused to everyone benched

He refused to join fnatic , now he got benched from the worst swedish team lol

2018-09-14 19:51

they said they "benched" him because he didnt want to say he was leaving coz they are their friends

2018-09-14 22:02

I hope he joins clown9 or mouse tho 😐

2018-09-14 22:50

Why

loool read JW's Interview and this one gets sooo interesting haha

Isn't twist one of their food players?!

WHY?

what the f#ck CJ?

Why?

wtf now hes open to offers but he declined fnatic and nip in the past? what an idiot

. +1 I'm trying to make this post visible for all the idiots in early posts thinking that this guy can join a T1 team and be ok. What a clown.

2018-09-14 23:12

ahahahahahaahah turned offers from nip like 2x-3x, turned down offer from fnatic and now he is benched in RR:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

2018-09-15 12:18

Rip RR

"he's loyal to Red Reserve" - JW, 2018

"Benched" Red Reserve 2018

UK brain lmao. Benched cos he want to.

2018-09-14 19:58

Says who?

2018-09-14 20:07

just read his twitter.

2018-09-14 20:08

Are u retarded? In no way does that suggest that he left on his own , he got kicked by the organisation

2018-09-14 21:34

salty Fnatic fans lol. i feel u got rejected by him lol.

2018-09-14 22:41

???? wtf ?????

2018-09-14 23:44

fnatic or we riot

can he speak Russian? If so join ENCE.

NA brain

2018-09-15 07:31

Typical no common sense European Nerds only book smart

2018-09-15 12:10

obviously a finnish team speaks russian and not finnish lmao

2018-09-15 19:43

Obviously u fell for the bait of calling Finns Russian. But no u just a typical nerd with no sense of any humor at all and thinks every is dumb. Sorry nerd but even the dumbest of the dumb understand the differences between Russia and Finland. But obviously not everyone can tell the difference in common baits. Go back to ur history n mathematics books nerd.

2018-09-15 20:07

Probally hes been link with fnatic JW recent comments. Draken good bye

they just lost their best player

LOL. If fnatic has waited for a bit longer, they might have pick a better AWPer. Well, they probably needed to seal the deal with draken in time for Major roster change deadline. BTW, NiP can totally use twist as well. That team basically has no dedicated AWPer.

yeah if twist actually wanted to go to either fnatic or nip

both teams already made offer to him and he turned those offers down...and now he is benched in RR. omegalul

Well, let see how Fnatic and NiP do this Major. If they go out early, they want twist again.

2018-09-14 19:43

-Draken -Xizt Golden JW flusha KRIMZ twist why not ?

would be amazing

2018-09-15 12:17

-xizt +twist prbly

Who will IGL? And why 2 AWP players? And 1 more support AWP player?

2018-09-14 21:41

xizt is garbage igl anyway, flusha was okayish igl and twist rifles are as good as his awp

2018-09-14 22:27

Oh shit, he is obviously going somewhere because no way they bench their best player otherwise

to the dumpster cuz he denied both nip and fnc.

2018-09-15 07:32

WTF

RR dumb af

Twist doesn't want to leave his friends, but his friends think he deserves better team so they bench him.

2018-09-14 20:12

bench best player maybe fnatic or nip will pick up twist finally

2018-09-14 19:35

only if he stops rejecting them

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA Rejected offers from giants like fnatic and NiP, now benched on a tier 3 team.

-draken +twist inc but i hope NiP picks him up

-who?

2018-09-14 23:18

TOP KEK

RiP twist or NiP twist >?

or fnatic twist

2018-09-15 07:33

2018-09-14 19:42

-freddieb + plopsk1 -twist+grux

Hopefully he FINALLY uses his ability and plays in a tier 1 team. He is so fucking good.

2018-09-14 19:47

nip pls

Disband

i want to play in rr

Now is probably his last chance to finally man up and join a top tier team

2018-09-14 19:54

C9 inc

2018-09-14 19:55

Benching best player in the team..

2018-09-14 19:59

I believe he left on his own to join his friends like he always do

2018-09-15 02:12

I believe that you believe you know what you are talking about when you absolutely do not.

2018-09-15 15:45

pbs.twimg.com/media/DnFyMeYXoAMHYnL.jpg:.. I have a reason to believe ;)

2018-09-15 16:16

WHAT? He is playing faceit with people?? How can this be.. Im super shocked at this revelation.

2018-09-16 01:31

-draken +twist 110%

2018-09-14 20:14

haha he declined fnatic for this??

2018-09-14 20:18

Hopefully he doesn't go to NiP

2018-09-14 20:27

virtus pro twist?

2018-09-14 20:31

FaZe twist

2018-09-14 20:42

2018-09-14 20:44

-GeT_RiGhT +twist

2018-09-14 20:57

no.

2018-09-14 21:40

hate to break it to you RR but your other 4 players are ass

2018-09-14 21:06

-draken +twist -xizt +olof , after major :)

One can only hope. That would be a sick lineup , tho igl is still a problem. If twist can become a good igl+awper then this team would literally be fucking insane , like , out of control insane

2018-09-14 21:37

That is not at all a sick lineup. Olof is average, twist is average, flusha single digit fragger now a days.

2018-09-14 21:48

2018-09-15 12:15

olof would make fnatic great again. Xizt is trash

to c9

2018-09-14 21:15

unless skadoodle retires they need more proactive players as opposed to twist imo. hopefully he doesnt go to lower level swedish teams that would kill his career

2018-09-14 21:46

Ooooohhh burn !

2018-09-14 21:23

twist best swe player

2018-09-14 21:24

- Guardian + twist

2018-09-14 21:27

-Oskar +twist So obvious!!

2018-09-14 21:28

Not even in dreams. Wtf are you talking about?

2018-09-14 21:42

Rumours about Oskar geting cut after the major = they need a new awp'er = pretty nice timeing isn't it?

2018-09-14 22:06

they will take byali and chrisj its main awper not twist lmao

2018-09-14 22:51

Just wait for FaZe to ask for his price tag if they go out 0-3

2018-09-14 21:29

>refuse to join good teams in the past >get benched by a team whose income mostly comes from online matchfixing nice

dennis will rejoin fnatic instead of xizt while twist will take dennis spot in nip, thats my theory

2018-09-14 21:43

This guy refused offers from NiP, fnatic and now he is benched from a tier3 team. IDK what to say.

-draken LUL

2018-09-14 21:53

-draken +twist ofc

2018-09-14 22:14

Since the idiot declined both Nip and Fnatic before he dosent deserve either teams..

2018-09-14 22:22

Ok so he says no to 2 huge opportunities to actually join a tier1 organisation to latter be benched by the org he didn’t want to leave. P.S Now he probably won’t even join a tier3 org just like pyth.

2018-09-14 22:25

+1, dumb person who ruined his own career

2018-09-15 12:14

Probably got a new gf who wants more expensive shit and is a gold digger, but Twist knows he has some value so he's trying to get a better paycheck from top teams.

IT'S HAPPENING

2018-09-14 23:20

Hopefully he goes to NiP. 'cause, Nip.twist.

2018-09-15 00:59

Hahaha +1

2018-09-15 01:12

Rip draken lmaooo hahaha nice karma

2018-09-15 02:10

-Dennis +twist

2018-09-15 02:35

Cya draken

2018-09-15 03:18

Come on cloud9 take the money you got from Stewie and get Twist

2018-09-15 03:19

If Twist is willing to go to NA, why doesn't he just join a good fucking swedish team like NiP? If he wants to play with his friends, what friends does he have in NA?

2018-09-15 03:21
