Nordavind transfer-list roster: "We are not leaving the scene"

4-8-2021 14:18

The Norwegian organization parted ways with Sabit "⁠mirbit⁠" Coktasar and co. after six months.

The Danish-Estonian-German squad that represented Nordavind since February is free to explore their options as the organization transfer-listed their whole lineup on Tuesday.

The team featuring Daniel "⁠mertz⁠" Mertz, Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann, Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn, Anton "⁠supra⁠" Tšernobai, and mirbit was ranked No. 58 in the world ahead of Nordavind's announcement, but Stein Wilmann, the organization's Managing Director, explains that the decision was "strategic more than performance-related."

Nordavind are looking to take the project in another direction

"Over the past years we've developed a pretty close relationship with HS and TENZKI in particular [Editor's note: the duo were a part of earlier Nordavind rosters], so it was a tough decision to make, but we are confident it was the right move according to our overall goals and ambitions for the future as an organization."

In the announcement, the organization stressed that they are not leaving the scene, with Wilmann adding that the approach to their academy roster Nordavind Talent remains unchanged, focused on the Norwegian and Nordic scene.

We are confident it was the right move according to our overall goals and ambitions

Nordavind's Managing Director

The Managing Director also confirmed that former Cloud9 assistant coach Joshua "⁠m1cks⁠" Micks will stay with the organization, having assumed the Nordavind Head Coach role in June.

"Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach our goals with the lineup even though we gave 100%," mirbit said in a statement to HLTV.org. "We fought through a lot of adversity, changes in the coaching staff, and other things that can't be controlled." The 24-year-old German player was calling the shots on the team and is interested in continuing with the role, saying that the experience made him realize he has "what it takes to be a top IGL."

"Every member of this team would be a great asset for whoever is searching for talented and dedicated individuals," mirbit added, noting that the squad is looking for individual offers and is still contracted to Nordavind.

The following players are looking for a new home:

Daniel "⁠mertz⁠" Mertz
Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann
Kevin "⁠HS⁠" Tarn
Anton "⁠supra⁠" Tšernobai
Sabit "⁠mirbit⁠" Coktasar

F supra

xDDDDDD

2021-08-04 14:27

VP.supra maybe? This guy's career went downhill too quick imo

-who

2021-08-04 15:04

Agree. I feel like supra is really underrated and has lots of potential.

2021-08-04 15:06

2021-08-04 15:14

Yeah,VP Prodigy maybe. Supra would do nothing for the main team

2021-08-04 15:18

2021-08-04 14:36

lol astralis couldnt pick mertz because he signed a new contact now they are transfering the WHOLE ROSTER

2021-08-04 14:38

new norwegian lineup with rain, jkaem, hallzerk, Akez and cromen confirmed

2021-08-04 14:39

cromen has retired sadly. -cromen +grus

2021-08-05 01:07

really? I didn't know. Well, at least he got his 5 minutes of fame in Belo Horizonte.

2021-08-05 13:23

on paper , this squad looked like capable of at least being a Top 30 team to me, great individuals as well. But they never really had consistent results, i felt like they werent ever able to play to their full potential.

The org itself can also be the reason for the failure. It surely looks weird.

2021-08-04 14:53

but the team changed a lot of times their roster. Nato left and came back, no ? I'm pretty sure that you will hire the msl's team. It kinda an upgrade. MSL can build something for there.

2021-08-04 15:13

Sprout + mirbit

2021-08-04 14:42

They're gonna look braindead if they don't buy him

2021-08-04 15:20

hhahahahahahahhaahahahahahaha

2021-08-04 14:43

WHYYY??? This is probably the best team this org will ever get, wtf are they doing

2021-08-04 14:46

I'm pretty sure that you leave the space for the MSL's team.

Still though, MSL's not really had any results in ages. Why would his team do any better? I thought this Nordavind team was pretty good, and judging by recent results, they haven't been bad.

2021-08-04 16:01

Yeah, but MSL's can reach tier 1,5 which nordavind didn't really achieved. We will see, MSL had a long time between the last result. He looks motivated and maybe with a better team, he will get some success.

2021-08-04 19:34

Agree, will have to see

2021-08-05 12:34

2021-08-04 14:49

2021-08-04 19:28

This was the best line-up they had in a long, loong time. I wonder whats gonna happen next.

2021-08-04 14:52

2021-08-04 14:54

Made millions on rigged matches and close roster Nordashit too smart

2021-08-04 14:59

Org for gorillaz?

2021-08-04 15:08

Maybe this is the MSL’s org since he has his project and they are looking for the org. Or maybe this could be Turkish superteam’s org

2021-08-04 15:16

Lol shouldve taken the astralis offer mertz

did nothing and already disband KEKW

2021-08-04 15:21

Mirbit to woxic team cuz xantares igl would be such a joke

2021-08-04 15:22

riolu! cheated

Mertz is a decent signing for t2 t3 teams

Poor supra...

2021-08-04 15:23

Bold prediction: Riders will pick up at least 1 of these guys

2021-08-04 15:27

Wouldnt surprise me HS as their new igl makes the most sence and maybe Supra as well

2021-08-04 16:49

supra 0iq move from gambit

2021-08-04 15:28

He got benched ...

2021-08-04 16:53

check interview before telling this

2021-08-05 10:22

I said he got benched from Gambit.

2021-08-05 16:28

he was able to stay in team but his behavior was shit

2021-08-06 11:06

New home of DBL Poney nice

2021-08-04 15:29

2021-08-04 15:38

2021-08-04 15:56

F supra , such underated player...

2021-08-04 16:04

-Poizon +Mertz PRETTY PLEASE

2021-08-04 16:12

-Hobbit +Supra Ez out of top 30

2021-08-04 16:14

Either flusha or msl team maybe mix both

2021-08-04 16:18

Typical nordavind org type of shit.

2021-08-04 16:19

Never forget insane choke v MR when Smooya rage quit. After that match I knew this roster would eventually disband :)

2021-08-04 16:25

mad how supra is only 19 too, still got a lot of years ahead of him. Should probably try and join a CIS team next..

2021-08-04 16:36

-interz +supra ?

2021-08-04 16:46

-olof +supra

2021-08-04 18:49

2021-08-04 19:15

-jks -poizon +tenzki +mertz Can swap them later on for better Danes, no reason not to.

2021-08-04 16:45

fair enough

2021-08-04 18:51

Welcome DBL Poney

2021-08-04 17:04

But they only wanted to go tier1... Losing to weak teams doesn't mean they aren't capable of being strong team, it's not the place for showing full potential I'm so disappointed right now

2021-08-04 17:19

should have kept mertz

2021-08-04 17:33

probaly cause msl insists on awping

2021-08-04 19:31

Surely the reason they are doing that is because they picked another roster. Probably MSL's roster or maybe BnB, given they got an American coach.

2021-08-04 17:39

Flushas team perhaps?

2021-08-04 17:53

Flusha's team shown 0 impact and achieves so its netto money wasting after these players get kicked individually from any team.

2021-08-04 21:44

Well, it seems like they are signing oplano. And what you just said, The same goes for them.

2021-08-05 09:05

But atleast with O Plano they can make a lot of money from merch, not like Flusha's team kekW Have a lot of delusional brazil fanboys.

2021-08-05 15:42

I dont know what you mean by kekW but I agree that Brazil do have some lets say passionate fans.

2021-08-05 17:06

I mean who the f cares about flusha and his team when they played a lot of matches and have less success then O plano.

2021-08-05 17:15

Well, with hs-shokz-supra all on the market. I think its time to team up with fejtz and ropz to finally make that Estonian team!

2021-08-04 17:52

mertz is available? Interesting.

2021-08-04 17:59
