NaToSaphiX leaves Nordavind's active roster

10-8-2020 15:06

Niels Christian "⁠NaToSaphiX⁠" Sillassen has left Nordavind's active roster after the two sides decided to split as a result of differences in philosophies, the organization has announced.

The 23-year-old leaves the active roster after what he describes has been a "rocky road" since the team went an international route with his and Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn's signing at the beginning of the year following the loss of Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli to Dignitas.

Two months after the new team came together, their former in-game leader, Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel, was forced to take a break because of a wrist injury, and he was replaced permanently by Haris "⁠H4RR3⁠" Hadzic after a three-month stand-in period.

NaToSaphiX is on the lookout for a new team

The Nordic-Estonian mixture went on to slowly climb up the ranking, reaching their peak in 38th place in early August, but for the most part struggled for deep tournament runs apart from their win in the Eden Arena: Malta Vibes' first cup in early July.

"Despite some good results and improvements, we've realized that the opinions of the players differ too much to evolve into a championship-winning team," NaToSaphiX explained to HLTV.org. "I wish my former colleagues best of luck in their future and hope they find a suitable replacement who more closely aligns with their idea of how to play CS:GO."

Nordavind are one player short as they are about to face Movistar Riders in the semi-finals of the FunSpark ULTI qualifier at 16:00 . The team will also play in the seventh cup of Eden Arena: Malta Vibes, kicking off on August 12.

Nordavind have:

Jorgen "⁠cromen⁠" Robertsen
Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn
Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann
Haris "⁠H4RR3⁠" Hadzic

Dennis "⁠Rytter⁠" Rytter (coach)

Niels Christian "⁠NaToSaphiX⁠" Sillassen (bench)

why??

2020-08-18 08:54

I swear to fucking god if Astralis did this...

lmao this made me laugh so fucking hard

2020-08-10 15:12

my first thoughts after reading the headline lol

2020-08-10 15:23

XD but dont think so No offense to him but this is like a jugi buy No point Would*

2020-08-10 15:25

Nah he is too bad for that level.

2020-08-10 15:31

He is consistently average, I think he wouldn't be that bad for a while ...or for their second squad if it's comming

2020-08-10 15:33

They should have another main awper for the 10 mens roster

2020-08-10 15:55

i hope so

north? probably not mad lions unless they already want to get rid of innocent after one game

Maybe Copenhagen Flames? They were about to build new chad roster

I think they already have a full starting 5, seen it on twitter or smth but im not so sure, we will see. Maybe.

2020-08-10 15:13

Doubt NaTo would leave Nordavind for a roster filled with nonames.

Cph has money to buy big names just look at their recent transfers, I doubt they gonna make something irrelevant

2020-08-10 15:28

But why would NaTo leave Nordavind for nonames? There are no big name players (or at the very least not 5 of them) that are in a position where it makes sense to leave for CPH Flames.

2020-08-10 15:38

Implying Nordavind isnt nonamers, CPH played at Road to Major: Rio and developed so many players compared them to Nordavind its deffo upgrade (Nordavind is a home for washed up players tho)

No doubt about it CPH Flames have made the names of a lot of players, like TeSeS, refrezh, Farlig for example. But why would NaToSaphiX, who is already an established name, move to CPH Flames? Nordavind are also a fairly big org and could probably pay a pretty decent salary, so that's not it.

2020-08-10 15:56

Because he lost his prime to play for bigger names? I know that its hard to adopt sometimes but people can drop off their skill ceiling pretty rapidly, i dont see a place for NaTo in t2 right now so proving himself in lower tier yet again may be more efficient than trying to do so with Nordavind who are really struggling with good approach to the game (that empty bombsite retake was something that happens on MM not in pro match), anyway cph playing their first match with new roster in 2 days so we will if he got annouced or not

2020-08-10 16:05

I guess. Highly doubt that, though. They probably would have announced his leaving much sooner. I mean, Nordavind are playing today, right?

2020-08-10 16:06

Time will see but its only my personal wondering since im following cph with their new roster and it might be possible to take him

2020-08-10 16:20

would be about the time for north to finally fucking give awping to somebody else so msl starts doin smth instead of just boosting his own ego with how good he is w an awp

lul

Or maybe switch to valorant

2020-08-15 19:08

"as a result of differences in philosophies between the two sides, the organization has announced." Hltv via instagram

because he is too good for them

2020-08-10 16:45

8 replies

Yeah, for a pro player

2020-08-10 15:49

Obv, im not comparing him to the average mg1 in MM :/

2020-08-10 16:01

Yeah, I know. But he has a lot of fanboys

2020-08-10 16:10

rlly? honesty I don't think I've ever seen one wtf

2020-08-10 16:16

youtube.com/user/NaToSaphiX 144k so far

2020-08-10 16:56

Yeah, but those are mostly just ppl who like his videos/him I'd say, not necessarily fanboys

2020-08-10 17:06

who tf fanboys him?

2020-08-10 16:58

Not fanboy, but people overrate him

2020-08-10 17:21

new astralis player?

always getting fucked

North

Why not buy smooya

2020-08-10 15:27

I don't personally like him, I think he has a bad reputation. He is skilled, tho.

2020-08-10 15:58

Still i dont think will go to north, i think he will go to t2-3 internationalt lineup

2020-08-10 16:26

wtf only tier 3 news

Expected

Reply needs to have actual content

Cool content

2020-08-10 15:57

thanks men))) 😎

best roster move in a while

North ?

2020-08-10 15:09

Understandable - didn't seem to be such a good match - gl to NaTo and Nordavind

Astralis 9 v 5 inc.

One of the most overrated players, good choice

+1 Watch nordavind get better results with fejtz

2020-08-10 15:40

Yeah good move from Nordavind

2020-08-10 15:45

Hope Nato finds a decent team :]

theres gotta be something wrong with how he approaches the game

Astralis in talks with Nordavind over NaToSaphiX; device takes medical leave Ez.

Wouldnt they wait for glaive then let dupreeh and magisk split awp instead now with es3 and bubskji If he were to take leave tho doubt it

Bring back Hallzerk?

no +fejtz

2020-08-10 15:14

I mean I like NaTo but somehow he always ends up leaving or getting kicked/benched from somewhat competent rosters and im starting to think it could be on his side of things-

Copenhagen flames probably picking him up.

+fejtz?

astralis inc :>

2020-08-10 15:15

Another danish player is a free agent which means we have a new Astralis member. Welcome to Astralis NaTo! GL in your new team.

+jugi inc

Ditching the team right before a semifinal in a qualifier, good guy nato

2020-08-10 15:17

Overrated +Fejtz -tenzki +RUBINO back again

2020-08-10 15:19

welcome to astralis

Oh no :)

2020-08-10 15:24

No one: Me: good that i didn't pick him up in my fantasy team, was about to.

2020-08-10 15:26

same

2020-08-10 15:35

We both have been saved by such a dangerous situation 🥺🥺😭😭

Nordavind nukkye ;O?

--------------------------> Astralis

BET ON MOVISTAR TILL YOU CAN

2020-08-10 15:32

"(...) differences in philosophies" lmao he didn't want to throw for food anymore

"Nordic-Estonian roster" that answers that

Nordic-Estonian k

2020-08-10 15:36

Astralis' 9th player incoming

2020-08-10 15:39

mousesports?

I'm glad this overrated garbage is kicked once again, he should just focus making youtube videos long time ago

2020-08-10 15:48

Astralis

sadly it will probably be trash org north or valorant

North???

2020-08-10 15:54

Well, North needs to do: -Cajunb -Gade -MSL Natosaphix (AWPer) Aizy (Rifler) fr0slev (Not sure about role tbh) +IGL +?

2020-08-10 16:15

Hope north will go this way Msl Lekr0 Kristou/cajunb Aizy Jkaem or another nordic player

2020-08-10 16:28

Yeah damn, i forgot about Lekr0 to be honest lol. Lekr0 Aizy fr0slev Natosaphix +IGL This could also work, but, your roster is probably more likely (-Jkaem) I just dont understand how North can keep Cajunb, Gade and MSL on their team lol.

2020-08-10 16:29

Love that but I will hold msl as a igl so he dont need to carry

2020-08-10 16:52

Nooooooo

GoodLuck!

2020-08-10 15:59

-chrisJ + NaToSaphix Right now mouz faces a great obstacle. I believe this change is good for them.

Astralis ok

2020-08-10 16:04

Astralis 2nd team incoming

Good, they've been shit quite frankly and Nato deserves a better team. Maybe mad lions?

Narosaphix was clearly the best player on nordavind

expected

2020-08-10 16:18

Astralis buying every player until there is no competition left

2020-08-10 16:35

Astralis buying out whole Danish scene, nice.

2020-08-10 17:00

First thing in my mind when I see a avg Danish player leaving a team, Astralis? Why?

2020-08-10 17:03

Astralis would be interesting or maybe CPH since they’re making new roster. He’s a pretty consistent player and can IGL, awp, rifle (ehh), etc

He is going to North, Nordavind will probably +jUGi

2020-08-10 17:48

He is a really good player, I'm sure it won't be hard for him to find a new team, althrough I have no idea where he could possibly go rn. I don not understand his decision tho, I think ever philosophie problem can be fixed by some kind of compromise, and I think this Nordavind roster had potential. Maybe they needed a coach change or something, but the roster on paper looks good for me.
