Apeks sign jkaem

19-10-2020 12:08

The Norwegian rifler will soon return to his homeland to further his career after spending almost three years in North America.

Apeks have announced that they have completed the signing of Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad from 100 Thieves for an undisclosed fee. The 26-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Norwegian organisation, reuniting with his former G2 teammate Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman.

jkaem returns to Norway after almost three years in North America, where he competed for Renegades and 100 Thieves. He played his final match for the Australian team on Sunday — a 3-1 defeat to FURIA in the grand final of IEM New York — before the organisation officially withdrew from Counter-Strike.

jkaem completes Apeks' roster

"I had plans to return to Norway sooner or later. I didn't know when it would happen, but with the situation in 100 Thieves, my thoughts of coming home became clearer," jkaem said in a statement. "Apeks came with an offer that I was happy with, and after giving it some thought, it was the right decision. The idea of contributing to help to build the Norwegian esports scene became the deciding factor."

In the Norwegian team, jkaem will once again link up with dennis after the pair briefly played together in 2015 in the G2 team that reached the semi-finals at the DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca Major. dennis went on to join fnatic, while jkaem stayed with the team, which was bought by FaZe at the start of 2016.

Anders Kjær, Apeks' director of sports, expressed his delight at the signing of one of Norway's most experienced players and stated that this move will mark the start of a new cycle for the team.

"One of our biggest ambitions has been to bring back Norwegian stars while they still have a lot to give in their careers," he said. "Joakim is a gigantic resource in many ways and will impact the team in a tremendously positive degree. We will contribute with a very specific 'know-how' around how to become the best, both as a team and as individual players. He has played with many different teams and players, which has given him a lot of experience throughout his career. All that experience is extremely difficult and time-consuming to acquire, and it's something we're hoping he will pass on to the others. I really believe this step will do gigantic things for us, but it will definitely take some time."

Apeks will compete in Elisa Invitational 2, a Nordic-based tournament that will offer one spot in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown. The Norwegian team have been placed in Group B alongside ENCE, MAD Lions and AGF.

With jkaem's signing, Apeks now have:

Ole "⁠Marcelious⁠" Kristian Langan
Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen
Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman
Martin "⁠Nasty⁠" Garvik
Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad

Pål "⁠Polly⁠" Kammen (coach)

APEKS TOP 1 SOON!

Yeah , the problem is that he is not going to do anything... He is just going to build bad habits from stupid tier3 teams, yeah maybe they reach top40-45 with this lineup... but with no changes, they will not do nothing , with only +jkaem..

I believe pro players work on a "service" basis, not actually a real contract (i.e. to evade paying a ton taxes and shit). that's why a lot of them have "companies" on their name.

2020-10-20 11:47

isn’t there a fee to terminate contracts or somethinh

2020-10-20 09:29

People were also sceptic when allu joined ENCE to build the finnish CS scene, but they made a name for themselves. Maybe on the long run they'll manage to get hallzerk and other new talents in, I think it's gonna be interesting.

2020-10-19 15:57

It was the only option which would allow him to stay in Norway to compete.

2020-10-19 17:34

I think jkeam is going to be a boost to norwegian eSports beacuse he knows how it is in the international scene and that can help apeks and the norwegian scene

2020-10-20 07:44

+Jkaem +rain +hallzerk

2020-10-20 08:33

Braindead in that case. Fallen/Tabsen wannabe. Just because they managed to do it doesnt mean jkaem will.

2020-10-19 15:33

Yes after the Swedish team. I remember Rubino, Jkaem, Rain, Polly and at one point maikalele

Yes please

Rain costs like all players of apeks together

2020-10-19 23:49

They probably want to be Ence but for Norway, they need more cash tho, Marcellious very good and Jkaem is tier 1 player, but Dennis and Grusarn not convincing and Nasty is super bad, they need to get back Radifaction since hes been doing fine in Secret against decent opponents, get Cromen back from the hellhole his career has become and maybe scout some other promising youngster from Norway or elseJkaem will quit this project fast

2020-10-19 12:20

6 replies

Cash is not the problem unless they want to sign rain

2020-10-19 12:46

+1 I don't think Radifaction or Cromen are hard to get for Apeks, the problem would be rain in terms of cash, but it doesn't look like he's gonna leave FaZe

2020-10-19 13:00

i tried to predict who they could sign excluding Rain and Hallzerk because i dont think Apeks has the money and reputation to bring them in, but im no expert in esport finances sothey might have the money to do it, sometimes you never know just how much money the sponsors are ready to cash out

2020-10-19 13:06

dennis has literally been carrying them almost the entire time since joining the team. Plus Marcelious isn't very good, by the way, he just got good stats, because he is AWPing, hallzerk would be much better.

2020-10-19 16:41

Dennis has been carrying them but its still Dennis, very inconsistent player thats why I said he wasn’t convincing but if he can perform consistently against better opposition he can definetely be good, Marcelious isnt bad at all, I’ve watchd some games and he looks promising, considering he’s young and hasnt had much high level experience, he can only go up from there and his mechanics are good enough, Hallzerk is probably better but Dignitas has him under lock and key unless Apeks can buy him out, but I think that would be wasteful of their money.

2020-10-19 16:46

dennis is surely very good for this level, and he's been an in-game leader recently, as far as I know. I really hope that Marcelious will grow in a good player, of course. But right now, he often misses A LOT of easy shots, and he is also very inconsistent - look at his match history. Getting hallzerk over him would be a big upgrade.

2020-10-19 16:50

kekw

rain will prob join eventually. Grus has sick Aim and can Grow to be really good with jkeams experience. If not they could try and get cromen or Hallzerk.

2020-10-19 13:45

2020-10-19 15:06

Grusarn and Nasty don't seem that good though.

rip jkaem

2020-10-19 12:09

3 year deal??? I thought at most he would sign for a few months to stay active in Europe, and maybe get tier 1 offers in 2021, but this just killed his career.

13 replies

I guess they have some money if dennis signed after nip and jkaem after 100 thieves

2020-10-19 12:15

They only have 3 sponsors, all very small Norwegian companies and stores... there's some mafia shit going on.

2020-10-19 15:24

True

They are clearly trying to make a Ence type of move by trying to put togheter the best possible Norway team + Dennis, Marcellious might be good enough but to be bestest Norway team they need Cromen, Radifaction and Rain along with Jkaem and Marcelious, i can understand not getting Rain so Dennis will do his roles probably but yea, if they cant get at the very least Cromen this project dies

2020-10-19 12:19

Nordavind is trash rn, so he might as well just leave.

2020-10-19 13:03

i really hope him and Tenzki call it quits on Nordavind, the org has shown to be absolutely incompetent and made HS leave, also they kept bringing H4rre in and out the roster to plug holes instead of finding a good replacement, Cromen has a lot of talent he probably cant express cause of the awful mental state hes likely in(I hope moving to a norway team, with a respected player and person such as Jkaem can help him) and TENZKI used to be one of the most consistent tier 1 players from 2015 to 2016, seeing them rot away is soul crushing

2020-10-19 13:15

TENZKI also looked really good in early Nordavind. He basically carried them (back when they had RUBINO). After he had to call it quits, TENZKI started to play worse and worse. And Cromen has really bad roles in Nordavind if I remember correctly.

2020-10-19 13:20

They already had Radifaction, though, and benched him.

2020-10-19 17:14

yea, at the time he was playing really bad but on Secret he improved a lot and now hes holdiung his own in a better team than Apeks, maybe they can convince him to go back

2020-10-19 18:28

Are they gonna try to rebuild maybe around him and Dennis maybe?

2020-10-19 17:11

I would imagine they're going to be developing the Norwegian scene so in some amount of time I think dennis is going to be out, he's old and not the best player on the team. Marcelious is skilled enough to be a real prospect, I would imagine they try to build around Marcelious as a star, and jkaem as a mentor.

2020-10-19 17:13

So Nasty will stay???

2020-10-19 18:12

No clue. He could. They also might want to get rid of him. We'll have to see how this all goes forward!

2020-10-19 12:10

tier 2 LOL

my bad, tier 4

ikr , he should have wrote Tier 3

2020-10-19 16:02

damn

Dafuq? I understand he wanted to return to Europe, but surely there would have been bigger orgs happy to sign him?

Of course playing with teammates from your home country is a big plus, but that was what I was thinking as well. Let's hope he'll have a nice time in Apeks tho!

Most people considered him to be the second-best player of 100T, just below jks, this definitely is a huge surprise. I understand he wanted the challenge of building a new scene and maybe, should hallzerk leave DIG, they could have a shot at building a decent roster.

dont forget rain after faze break up when niko leaves for G2 ;)

2020-10-19 23:52

Just read his statement ffs "The idea of contributing to help to build the Norwegian esports scene became the deciding factor." He probably had enough offers but decided its time to do something in a bigger picture. With his experience he can really help the team and the scene which is why i respect that decision so much. Gl to him

2020-10-19 12:16

Also it’s probably a bit more chill then a t1 team, being away from friends and family for almost 3 years he probably just wants some chill cs, and if he does end up getting offers from good teams In the future the money from the buyout will still help the scene

Agreed. He's been in AU/US for so long now, he deserves a break in a home team. His stock is also pretty high anyway, so he could likely go anywhere he wants if he's ready to move elsewhere again

he apparently had offers from several world class teams, but still ended up signing with apeks. i think that commands some respect

2020-10-19 12:28

2020-10-19 13:05

It definitely does.

big rip for 100t, hope jkaem can take Apeks to high places

Glad he found a new home <3

LULW sorry what? tier1 -> tier3

why are they disbandingggg just get +1 and continueeee

Lmao what?

Hard to do it without an org plus Jks is about to leave as well

But they could've gotten someone like dexter or INS man

2020-10-19 13:42

If I'm not mistaken, haven't the players from Renegades already said that they don't wanna go to a different country because of their families??

2020-10-19 21:53

nice

G fucking G

downgrade for jkaem

jkaem looking for a retirement home then

pls olof next

POG

so... 100T core -40 major points?

They will most likely disband

-20% so 1133,8 points gone More soon when Complexity announce jks 😎

C9 jks

2020-10-20 10:18

GLHF!

Why would Jkaem sign with such a bad team if he has so much potential to be a on a tier 1 team waste of fucking talent

11 replies

I reckon he is just not very ambitious. It surprises people outside of scandinavia how little the average Scandinavian cares about "success". Money is not an issue to a scandinavian person as you just get free money from the government. As a result, people tend to strive to have a good family life or good experiences rather than the classic "American Dream". My guess is that he isn't that passionate about CS.

Tragic

Meh. I would understand if it was a traditional sport but honestly if you can make some bank off of CS and get out you are better off IMO. CS isn't an art or a game with historical and cultural importance. Its a video game that people take way too seriously.

2020-10-19 12:21

Most CS pros became pros to win majors and be the best I think a lot of cs pros have a lot of pride and hunger to win but I guess jkaem just wants to live the easy life

2020-10-19 12:24

"Apeks came with an offer that I was happy with, and after giving it some thought, it was the right decision. The idea of contributing to help to build the Norwegian esports scene became the deciding factor." Its more about this.

2020-10-19 12:30

+1 I think it's awesome that a guy with such in depth experience of international CS comes back to help his region grow.

2020-10-19 13:40

Like allu. First build good team and then go full snake mode

2020-10-19 13:57

Not as big as Stewie TwoFaced Toileto

2020-10-19 14:00

2020-10-19 14:01

Do you think nordic nations would be among the best sporting nations in the world with a lack of ambition? The dude has dedicated his entire life to CS, and has been living away from home and family for 3 years, and you think he is "not passionate about cs" lol?

2020-10-19 15:20

He hasn't dedicated his entire life you teenager. He's not even 30. Shows your perspective perfectly.

2020-10-19 22:10

Big downgrade, would have been a good replacement in lots of top 20 teams

wasted

Norwegian CS back?? pog

Biggest waste of talent ever rip

downgrade af, he could get to top 30 team

what the fuck

oh god. he is wasting his career

RIP career

ITS FREAKING DOWNGRADE. HE DESERVES A BETTER TIER TEAM.

Now +rain +hallzerk and they have a norwegian superteam

and +cromen and they would be pretty good

2020-10-20 04:05

from top tier to tier3

rip in peace little angel

Norge cmon

-nasty +kreaz Top 20-25.

Dennis and Jkaem back together, now we just need Rain Maikelele and Fox :D

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT. I DIDNT THINK JKAEM WOULD GO SO LOW

from tier 1 to tier 4 whew

2020-10-19 12:14

Great move

That potential in a really low tier club...

lets goooooo

Rain Hallzerk Jkaem +2

Sadly top2 NA team fell apart because of clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 who names himself "Jason Lake" Fuck complexity

It's all because of clown Nadeshot. Fuck 100T

2020-10-19 12:18

I don't think 100T that dumb to leave cs,having legends major spot Clown Lake just payed huge $$$,following contracts buyouts.100T wasn't able to say anything against it

According to your logic it's jks fault because he decided to leave from 100T.

2020-10-19 12:31

2020-10-19 12:42

FaZe good org who cares about fans of csgo competitive scene

2020-10-19 14:07

downgrading but seems like he doesnt wanna be away from home anymore , understandable . Now, +Rain and +Hallzerk when

Respect

wtf is this ???? jkaem are you ok?

2020-10-19 12:17

Honestly Apeks could break top 20. Dennis is a good player, Marcelious⁠ is also really good and now Jkaem, who we all know is a really great player

True, rain will prob join eventually. Grus has sick Aim and can Grow to be really good with jkeams experience. If not they could try and get cromen or Hallzerk.

2020-10-19 12:51

Dennis, jkaem, rain, hallzerk, and cromen or maybe Rubino

2020-10-19 17:44

Grus instead of cromen. Just trust me.

2020-10-20 11:06

Grus? Really?

2020-10-20 16:44

Yup.. If you ask around the norwegian community I bet 90% would say the same. I don`t follow it as close as some of my norwegian friends, but from what I have seen I believe them. He is the only Apeks member who has not been benched or kicked the last 1.5 year also. akez, truth, Radifaction and Marcelious have all been kicked or benched at some point if I am not mistaken.

2020-10-21 13:45

ahah jkaem has to play with these bots now F

xdddd

WTF?!

AHHAHHH WHAT:DDDDDDDd thought this was some 2013 article at first when i saw the title in recent activity

why u do dis

He has earned enough money and now he wants to return home. It's a respectable decision

I mean... Its not that bad. Apex finally can be a decent t2 team with this addition.

RIP jkaem

He want spend some time at home. That's all

2020-10-19 12:23

Is jkaem retarded? Why would he sign such long contract with a filler team?

coL JKS when??

please say sike

2020-10-19 12:25

2020-10-19 12:26

This can work pretty well if they find the right chem. Just imagine how great would it be if rain joined them too

People underestimate Apeks, this team could break top 30 for sure

Honestly we dont know could be second ence Just going nuts to top 10

No:(

+rain +hallzerk +cromen

Sick. Now we just need olofm/Rain instead of nasty. Then dignitas and apeks both ez top30

From top 15 to top 65 :( damn

rip

Good for Apeks. They are making some good moves

lol Apeks top 10 :O

+rain next pls

2020-10-19 12:34

2020-10-19 12:35

Actually a decent lineup. I would only remove nasty

2020-10-19 12:36

Bruh ??? Did he accept his retirement by this

2020-10-19 12:38

Disappointed... I just hope he didnt sign a 3+ year deal.

2020-10-19 12:37

make norway great again

In my opinion, he made a bad choice. But, I wish him luck.

Everyone saying "rip career", "nice retirement home". This is basically the same situation we had with ENCE in 2018, a lot of people saying the same thing over allu joining ENCE with "4 less known/skilled players". Watch Apeks climb up the rankings and become a solid top 30-20 team in a year or so. I hope Apeks would do +cromen and -dennis though.

2020-10-19 12:39

+1 cromen is an underrated beast

2020-10-19 12:40

cromen is playing for nordavind

2020-10-19 12:44

gg jkaem career over

wtf jkeam

This is huge for Norwegin CS. Apeks will become a top 30 team.

Apeks its a rich org...soon they will add some good players to compete for top20...just watch

2020-10-19 12:47

Understandable in pandemic world, to stay at home country. Good luck.

2020-10-19 13:43

well, we will never see jkeam again, rip! 3 years? THREE!!?

Marcelious AWP dennis IGL jkaem Entry truth/Grusarn cromen (support)

2020-10-19 12:49

he deserved better than a tier 100 team...

hopefully they'll make more roster changes

Imagine + Hallzerk and +rain or + croman Top 30 Team conformed

Welcome home! Hope this will bring a good Norwegian team

2020-10-19 12:56

Jkaem is good enough for a better team... surprised he chose Apeks

2020-10-19 12:59

rip apeks

Replace nasty with cromen and grusarn with nato = top20 team

2020-10-19 13:01

grusarn have pretty solid individual but play all the entry/anchor bitch roles, so I think he should stay, nasty is kinda meh

2020-10-19 13:09

jkaem and dennis reunited

Apeks Lineup 20/21 - Jkaem - Marcellious - Cromen - Radifaction - Hallzerk

2020-10-19 13:02

thanks

Sign Hallzerk !! Finally a Norwegian team Happy for you guys

What a massive step down, sad to see, hope he got a good deal at least to compensate for this

top teams - i sleep apeks - real shit 😎😎😎

jkeam deserves a better team. He was almost tiered 1 player know he moved to team which is not even in top 50.

2020-10-19 13:07

Nooo

2020-10-19 13:12

i can see what he's trying to do. i hope it works out for him.

For some reason I thought he was way older than 26

big oof, surely a better team would have wanted him like complexity or something.

2020-10-19 13:14

Poor bastard, sent to t3 hell Really should have been signed by an na team but if he wanted this then so be it

2020-10-19 13:21

RIP, why would he join a t3 team? He should have had signed for any other team in EU and he could still stay in Norway with the current pandemic situation.

+1. I don't understand.

2020-10-19 13:27

they need actual pro players in the roster not "faceit stars" hallzerk jkaem dennis rubino cromen

2020-10-19 13:23

i hope rain will join them eventually otherwise it will become a retirement home for both jkaem and dennis

2020-10-19 13:26

rip career

2020-10-19 13:30

2020-10-19 13:38

Apeks will be his end, it's a fucking graveyard for washed up players.

2020-10-19 13:39

Wtf rip jkaem

Damn i hate that 100 thieves disbanded. But im way more disappointed that he joined apeks, instead of some other team man damn

+rain +hallzerk ez

2020-10-19 13:41

I'm surprised by this too. Jkaem is a top level player easily deserving of a solid top 10 team. Hopefully Apeks do put in the work to improve with this pick up.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I respect his wishes but I hope he doesn't fade away into obscurity. He deserves a much better team. A 3 year contract is also way too long.

why not North

Seems like capitulation to me. A 3 year contract in a team that has shown nothing to indicate that they could make in into tier 1 is something that geriatrics like dennis might accede to but jkaem could have looked for a more promising team.

2020-10-19 13:52

If you take the best players from Dignitas and Apeks you might get a stable top 30-45 lineup.

gl jkaem!

This signing is really weird, jkaem has so much more to give tbh. I respect his decision tho, gl jkaem!

2020-10-19 13:59

RIP CAREER

Never seen such a huge downgrade for player before. R u retarded, jkaem?

2020-10-19 14:03

This is just like allu did with ENCE in 2018. Apeks top3 next year

2020-10-19 14:09

Add cromen and rain Dennis Cromen Jakeem Rain Marcelious they can be top 30 forsure

2020-10-19 14:20

Good stuff I'm happy that someone joined a team now I want the others to find a team so I can support a new team

2020-10-19 14:28

He still gets salary wherever he plays and hopefully this team will accomplish something .

2020-10-19 14:32

-nasty +hallzerk -marcelious +lekro -grusarn +rain

2020-10-19 14:36

Have you even watched them play? Marcelious is great. By far their best player.

2020-10-19 15:12

I felt like hallzerk would be a direct upgrade but if what you said is true then he’d be fine

2020-10-19 15:35

Marcelious is a good player, he can play secondary awp and let Hallzerk main awp and ez double awp setup

2020-10-19 17:05

Well, his post was removing marcelious so have no idea why you are telling me this..

why does 100t roster fall apart? just because org droppped them?

2020-10-19 14:37

Because jks is leaving for another team (Complexity most likely)

2020-10-19 15:02

no org = no wages probably there isn't any offer yet for the whole roster

wow

2020-10-19 14:38

I was not expecting that... but I was expecting not to expect something so it doesn't count

thanks for your service jkaem. salute.

2020-10-19 14:41

decline north offer for this xD

2020-10-19 14:43

Norwegian scene incoming

2020-10-19 14:48

rather want to see him in Dignitas or Fnatic

Yeah. Dignitas are so fucking cheap.. Little org Apeks are willing to pay for him but not dignitas? Such bullshit.

2020-10-19 15:09

from tier2 to tier3 sad

2020-10-19 14:53

wtf ???

2020-10-19 14:56

Imagine his salary. It must be huge

Could have at least gone to North or joined forces w/ olof you're better then this :(

I hope they get some other good players soon as well.

jkeam waving his GIGANTIC GIGANTISSIMUS

Good luck to jkaem at home. You did your best to carry 3 kangaroo bots + jks

So little org Apeks are willing to pay for him but dignitas was not? This pisses me off so much!!

2020-10-19 15:08

I respect his decision. Even tho Apeks is #65 in the world.

2020-10-19 15:27

Absolute steal from Apeks...I'm sorry but Jkaem deserved better then this.

2020-10-19 15:29

I can't help but feel like this could be a RIP for jkaem at tier 1, but I hope otherwise. I suppose that he might attract norwegian talent back to a norwegian roster?? I hope it goes well, can't blame him for going exactly where he wants when he had "better" offers. I hope they get there.

2020-10-19 15:46

Rain next plz

2020-10-19 15:49

Pog

2020-10-19 15:50

rip jkaem :(

2020-10-19 15:53

OK nice

2020-10-19 15:54

shit move? yes, no doubt but its a 3-year deal while being close to his family it seems like this is the only thing he wants atm, stability and family you have to respect that

2020-10-19 15:56

What a waste of the talent in rubbish team. It's a shame really

Sick downgrade lol

2020-10-19 15:58

What a downgrade lol, how much is he gonna get paid

2020-10-19 16:00

His career is basicly dead

2020-10-19 16:04

smart move from apeks

2020-10-19 16:18

It seems he is happily stucking at outside of top 30

2020-10-19 16:29

This is disappointing on so many levels

2020-10-19 16:42

It's great he is coming home, but it's big downgrade regarding team in my opinion. Never mind. GL&HF

2020-10-19 16:54

Why everyone talking so much that they are shit? wait and see i think atleast they can be a solid tier 2 team like rank #30-40 atleast

2020-10-19 16:56

Wheres Cromen

2020-10-19 16:57

dead player

2020-10-19 16:58

unexpected. I'm quite excited to see him in a EU team though, hopefully apeks continues with investment and get at least 1-2 more high quality players.

2020-10-19 16:59

Why jkaem looks like a 40 year old man?

I’m sad and disappointed he didn’t join C9 or some other brand that was well-known. If they do the Super Norwegian team then: Rubino (Last Chance to prove his worth) Rain Jkaem Marcelicious Cromen (One more chance to prove)/ Hallzerk I like Radifaction, but he hasn’t been looking good :(

2020-10-19 17:02

They should find rubino and pick his ass up

2020-10-19 23:17

Nice!

2020-10-19 17:04

Yall are tripping laughing at this. This is a smart move for jkaem.

2020-10-19 17:12

yeah, he can finally relax at home after making the big bucks

2020-10-19 18:02

Great signing from Apeks. He is a great player and will bring a lot to this team. I think still changes are needed, but the core of Marcelious, Grusarn and jkaem looks exciting.

2020-10-19 17:52

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

2020-10-19 18:05

hopefully they have the money to make the Norwegian super team PogChamp

well.. on one hand yikes, but on the other maybe the team can climb again? otherwise enjoy the paychecks I guess

2020-10-19 18:18

+hallzerk +rain then they might be relevant

Nice gl jkaem

2020-10-19 18:21

What happened to mystic? If they had that online god they would actually be rank 1

2020-10-19 18:33

I was waited this move from dignitas instead of heap. GL to norwegian cs and jkeam

2020-10-19 18:53

Wtf he could have waited and joined a better team

2020-10-19 18:59

not like this jkaem :(

2020-10-19 19:04

tell me why ?

2020-10-19 19:13

nationality

2020-10-19 19:18

Rip c9

2020-10-19 19:15

Best of luck bro

2020-10-19 19:17

2020-10-19 19:21

Whos the AWP in the team? and is he better than Hallzerk?

2020-10-19 19:24

Marcelious, dont know whos best really

2020-10-19 23:36

Lol everyone so harshly criticizing this move by jkaem. Relax kiddos he’s an adult he can do what he wants

2020-10-19 19:26

Good move

2020-10-19 19:37

why? he could be of use in a top 30 team for sure.

2020-10-19 20:01

2020-10-19 20:02

RIP JKAEM

2020-10-19 21:06

if they sign more t1 players instead of those 3 t3 ones, He actually may have a chance.

2020-10-19 23:04

2020-10-20 05:03

2020-10-19 23:16

2020-10-19 21:10

2020-10-19 22:02

cringe, the only one norway good player just ruined his career

rain ?

2020-10-20 04:25

ahh my bad sorry, i forgot about him xDD

2020-10-20 13:06

Flair checks out.

2020-10-21 05:52

hallzerk?

2020-10-20 11:18

#374

Where the fucc is rubino he needs to be on this team

+rain sooner

2020-10-19 23:39

2020-10-20 02:11

Uh what are you doing dude

2020-10-20 02:26

MAKE NORGEWIAN CS GREAT AGAIN jkaem rain cromen hallzerk H4RRE

2020-10-20 05:28

GL Jkaem <3

2020-10-20 06:26

2020-10-20 09:14

Obviously jkaem could play for a top10/15 org. He and jks have been the standouts for 100T without a doubt. Unlike many others here I really like his decision. Moving back home to try and create a top team from your home country. I can really respect that. Plus he probably gets a decent salary and he is close to his friends and family. Nothing wrong with that.
