MSL returns to North

17-1-2020 11:32

In a jersey reveal video, North have unveiled Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen as their new signing.

The announcement gives little insight about the change in North, only showing the in-game leader in a new North jersey, leaving the question of who he is replacing unanswered.

MSL is back in North

MSL was a part of North since the organization's inception, joining from dignitas at the start of 2017. His removal happened a year and a half later, after the team's first Big event win at DreamHack Masters Stockholm was followed by an unsuccessful FACEIT Major. Since then, MSL represented Rogue and OpTic, and has been open to offers since the Danish OpTic roster was disbanded.

With it currently being unclear who is departing the roster, North now have six players:

Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup
Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye
Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade
Jakob "⁠JUGi⁠" Hansen
René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg
Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen

Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg (coach)

So ez for : GODMSL SNAKJAERBYE AIZY THE UNCUTTABLE WASHEDUPB BIG BOI GADE Cya JUGi LuL

2020-01-17 13:16

Even with MSL, I don't think they will be able to do such a result, maybe if refrezh comes instead of gade or something, but I won't mind them winning big matches again if this works

2020-01-17 13:19

Jugi is way too inconsistant

2020-01-17 14:47

They are not going to get rid of cajun for refresh? MSL tried to play with him in optic and it did not work, the only possible for cajun to be removed from the team is if MSL wants Jugi to awp then its +MSL-Cajun

Insider info which u end up revealing in HLTV forum? Nice try mate :) NiKo is a possible player to replace cajun though.

2020-01-17 16:29

Does it really matter if i reveal at hltv or twitter? Of course it is not done yet, just furthering the info I have

turn your brain on for once. he will be replacing someone. WHo is getting benched is still unclear

2020-01-17 12:27

Yes, that's only way North can win something

2020-01-17 13:34

True bro

2020-01-17 13:40

JUGI doesnt count

2020-01-17 14:46

Also true bro

Still going to be irrelevant

With 6 players ok the server they can beat some tier 30 teams I guess

2020-01-17 11:41

Don’t get your hopes up

2020-01-17 11:43

+1 it is north after all :wheelchair:

2020-01-17 11:55

Yes mens)) Once N♿rth always N♿rth

2020-01-17 12:00

2020-01-17 12:03

How are they irrelevant when they got the best awper in da world? A.k.a jugi

2020-01-17 12:16

Who do you think they are benching to get MSL?

2020-01-17 12:19

I think they should bench olof or even cold. Thank god they picked up msl since they needed a good igl and passed on aleksib

I think they should bench shox and bring in msl :()

2020-01-17 14:01

Irrelevant as their new logo

2020-01-17 12:25

The old -msl +msl

2020-01-17 14:16

expected

Damn it #2 :( Edit: nevermind

Nice #2 kekekekekekeke GL for next attempt

2020-01-17 12:07

It was #2 when I was posting it :(

2020-01-18 11:20

Finally, underrated IGL

Finally

Maybe North can be a good team now

Unless they cut aizy, no

2020-01-17 12:12

Would literally cut the majority of the lineup before aizy..

2020-01-17 12:30

+1 especially jugi

2020-01-17 13:47

They are def cutting jugi, asians suck at cs, everyone knows this

2020-01-17 14:48

Do you stay on hltv and wait for new post so you comment first?

-aizy -jugi +who?

2020-01-17 11:35

Keep aizy and -cajunb. Aizy and msl are bros.

2020-01-17 11:38

bring back their dreamhack stockholm master 2018 lineup, when they won astralis.

Ya..... Right after which MSL was benched...

2020-01-17 11:39

Don't really understand why they did this...

they thought they can be better without him, but they can't

Ye, but received his first MVP at the stockholm tournament, played exceptionaly good so he can get the MVP, beat the best team in the world (when you are in top 10,15) and win the danish derby and still decide to bench him. I just don't understand it. Also imo MSL is really, really better when he AWPs compared to when he is the rifle. It is like he has more comfidence when he is the main AWPer.

2020-01-19 17:04

Because it's N♿rth and they're retarded.

2020-01-17 14:54

Because the team failed terribly at faceit major qualifier and they thought MSL was the problem.

2020-01-18 19:07

CLOWN FIESTA

you could't live with your own failure. where did that bring you? Back to me! MSL RN

2020-01-17 11:36

axaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa, hair checks out i guess

LUL

Great pickup, now just -jugi -cajunb.

2020-01-17 11:37

Lul

16? whatcha smoking?

2020-01-17 12:08

Wasn't he kicked 16 months ago from North?

2020-01-17 12:18

NVM I just checked, time flies too fast WTF. I felt like it was less than a year ago.

Jugi or cajun

ez 6vs5

6v5, nice strat by north, but still Other Danish Teams > North

2020-01-17 11:40

Ok kick jugi now, trash player

-jugi -gade/cajunb

Yes finally

2020-01-17 11:45

Bye gade

Gade was in that video wearing the North jersey though.. Pretty sure its jugi getting replaced, but would like to se gade and cajunb go also.

2020-01-17 12:34

Wau

-jugi please for fuck's sake

2020-01-17 11:47

2020-01-17 11:49

Ez. 6 > 5

2020-01-17 11:52

why did they drop him again? then get him back ?

Finally MSL And Gade in one team

Sick move

jugi or cajunb. i would kick cajun. too old.

2020-01-17 11:57

damn north doing a 25000IQ gameplan 6v5

Please remove gade and jugi

finally. this was the obvious move for north from the start.

2020-01-17 11:58

I would show them the middle finger :D

MSLUL

2020-01-17 11:59

Why

The only sensible choice, thank you north

north 6 players ez, 200 iq

2020-01-17 12:02

MSL Kjaerbye refrezh/TENZKI/cajunb (in that order) aizy gade

would love to see tenzki play with msl aizy and kjaerbye again. Would almost be like the 2015 dignitas

2020-01-17 14:31

god damn finally! Some order in North. Throw out the rest of the trash pls

2020-01-17 12:04

- BOT gade

This is good. Get rid of jugi. Lets go north!

6 man lineup ccant believe they dont use this more

Finally kick Jugi

Lol what else are they gonna do get niko back too?

-gade

gg north

2020-01-17 12:10

jugi not in the video = riperoni

they are done.

Expected and HUGE upgrade. Now kick JUGI.

Astralis are shaking

Lose all the hope for faze

let's do the same mistakes again and again lmao

2020-01-17 12:20

haha +1 lmao

2020-01-17 12:50

2020-01-17 17:32

Maybe if they will 6v5, they can go top30

2020-01-17 12:23

hahaahahhaahh luuuuuuuuuuuul

These fucking idiots in North could have done a really nice move to place the team on the map again... And they did not do it. - JUGi - aizy - gade + MSL + NaTo + refrezh But yeah keep your useless duo 🙄

You spelt blamef and konfig wrong

2020-01-17 12:39

They are locked in coL so they would not be able to get them.

2020-01-17 12:46

Nato is "locked in" aswell so there is no difference. And there is no such thing as "locked in" when money talks.

2020-01-17 12:52

Nato wasnt before signing with Nordavind. North would not buy BlameF or k0nfig, coL would ask more than North can provide, they are the richest of the two.

2020-01-17 13:25

So do they kick JuGi or gade?

jugi

2020-01-17 12:33

Finally north seems to have realised their mistake... Guess they will kick jugi?

2020-01-17 12:29

North won’t do shit even with six players

Ima sign Jugi, heavily underrated CEO of Blastralis

2020-01-17 12:31

pls kick gayde

2020-01-17 12:35

If they got blamef and konfig this team would be really good

2020-01-17 12:37

+1 wow indeed. Konfig, blamef, kjearbye, jugi, msl Perhaps aizy instead of jugi.

Wtf need do they have of jugi? Not perhaps, definitely.

2020-01-17 12:41

Rip gade or cajunb.

It is surely jugi who is getting replaced here, didnt you watch the video? Gade is standing around wearing that new north jersey.

2020-01-17 12:43

good news for north finally a good IGL

2020-01-17 12:38

North's strategy to become relevant again is okay 6v5

MSaveL

2020-01-17 12:44

kick aizy ffs

2020-01-17 12:42

I would have said yes about 1-2 years ago, but he has fixed his insomnia or whatever it was that kept him bottom of the leaderboards

2020-01-17 12:55

its really becoming the new meme after ence

Who is the player at 0.30 in the video? Doesn't look like neither aizy, cajunb or JUGi. It looks like two of the three are out with MSL incoming.

It's Marcuzo from their FIFA squad. So only one is definitely getting benched.

2020-01-17 12:48

the only way North can work, nice MSL enjoy in North u deserved it

2020-01-17 12:45

haha this is so fucked up

Jugi :((

2020-01-17 12:47

who's gone?

Its probably -Jugi as MSL can awp and well out of all North players, Jugi has been heavily underperforming since he joined the squad. Literally the anchor of the whole team.

-JUGi +MSL

2020-01-17 12:49

Norph

2020-01-17 12:53

ez top 1 with 6 players

Yeah Jugi is done for

Bye jugi

Bye cajunb

MSL RETURNS TO NORPH*

Happy with this news. He showed is competitive in the last event in North (I think when he showed this talent the team had already decided to leave). Good Luck!

holy shhh, about time, too bad no valde anymore

2020-01-17 13:10

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH LETS GOOOOOOO NORTH ERA IS HERE

2020-01-17 13:11

1- Who will fuck off? 2- Those jerseys would be lit without that brand logo. You are good at fucking good things up N♿rth

2020-01-17 13:13

2020-01-17 13:20

Kick gade asap

Cya cajun

- jugi

2020-01-17 13:28

Nice!! Definetly an improvement, finally. Edit: MSL also better AWPer than JUGi

2020-01-17 13:29

The kick has to be Jugi. Both him an MSL are not good enough on rifles

Ah shit, here we go again

2020-01-17 13:37

Bye gade.

CSGO 6 vs 5 ?

Hin her hin her entscheidet euch doch mal ihr dummen Dänen

2020-01-17 13:39

good move

2020-01-17 13:43

NICE

2020-01-17 13:44

ez4 6 men north

Norths kicking MSL + FaZe & ENCE moves really does show the importance of IGLs. Such dumb moves tbh.

2020-01-17 13:45

The onlysensible roster move North made in 2 years

2020-01-17 13:46

-cajunb pls. Amazing change.

2020-01-17 13:48

First good roster move North have done in forever, wow.

2020-01-17 13:54

Bye jugi, with an igl they might be able to win some matches.

2020-01-17 13:59

MSL had some worst pro awper moments in 2019 LOL

2020-01-17 14:00

wtf north playing 6v5? i guess everyone will be too busy looking at whatever the fuck that logo is to notice 6 players. Not like they'd win anything with an extra player anyway.

2020-01-18 00:10
