Basso joins Finest

12-2-2021 11:37

The Danish player fills the final spot on the international team.

Sebastian "⁠Basso⁠" Aagaard has joined Finest, finalising the team's roster following the release of Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz in January, the Israeli organisation has announced.

The 22-year-old was benched from Copenhagen Flames in January and mutually parted ways with the organisation last week. He will now reunite with Shiran "⁠shushan⁠" Shushan after the pair played together on another international team, Adaptation, in mid-2020.

Basso completes Finest's lineup

In his latest stint with Copenhagen Flames, Basso averaged a 0.97 rating, a performance which he will look to improve upon alongside a new set of teammates. Finest recently placed 5th-8th in the first open qualifier for DreamHack Open January, beating Copenhagen Flames and Bulgarian mix team Mixich before losing out to SAW in a nail-bitting game with four overtimes.

WIth Basso's signing, Finest now have:

Israel Shiran "⁠shushan⁠" Shushan
Israel Tal "⁠meztal⁠" Hahiashvili
Azerbaijan Maksim "⁠t0rick⁠" Zaikin
Estonia Kristjan "⁠fejtZ⁠" Allsaar
Denmark Sebastian "⁠Basso⁠" Aagaard

United States Matt "⁠dayV1D⁠" David (coach)
