Fessor leaves South, team disbands*

The five players have decided to part ways, disbanding the 20-day-old project.

Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen was the first to announce that he was parting ways with South effective immediately as he did not believe that the project with his more experienced countrymen was a good fit, although the youngster is eager to continue playing and is open to other opportunities to keep competing.

The youngster's departure came less than a month since the team's unveiling in August — with only a handful of matches played across four tournaments —, and a day after a painful loss to Spirit Academy.

Fessor will keep playing in hopes of breaking out elsewhere

The Danish squad, led by Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen, followed suit and announced they were disbanding after failing to show promise in their first weeks together, as the team finished 5-8th at the Funspark ULTI 2021 Europe Regional Series 3 Closed Qualifier and the IEM Fall 2021 Europe Open Qualifier, and narrowly missed out on the V4 Future Sports Festival International Cup falling to SINNERS in the qualifier's semi-finals.

South's last loss, a best-of-three series against Spirit Academy in the Malta Vibes Knockout Series 2 was the hardest pill to swallow, as it put the team out in 25-40th place.

Fessor's exit from South means he is out of his third team this year, having started off 2021 in BLUEJAYS' international roster before joining up with Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup in HYENAS, the squad that was disbanded in July when star player Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye retired.

The rest of the players, after announcing the team's disbandment, have also joined the free agent pool at a complicated time for transfers with the PGL Major fast approaching.

South was:

Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen
Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup
Jesper "⁠TENZKI⁠" Plougmann
Jakob "⁠JUGi⁠" Hansen
Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen
