SKADE unveil Norwegian roster under vENdetta

8-8-2022 21:05

The team will go by SKADE X and co-exist alongside the organization's Bulgarian squad.

SKADE has partnered up with Jotunheimen Esports and ULTI Skins to create a new Norwegian team featuring some of the Nordic nation's best known players under the leadership of former Dignitas coach Halvor "⁠vENdetta⁠" Gulestøl.

The team's roster is comprised of Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes, Ole "⁠Marcelious⁠" Kristian Langan, Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen, Jesper "⁠Jimbo⁠" Kamsrud and Eskil "⁠LaX⁠" Bjørnsen.

vENdetta, the former Dignitas coach, is in charge of SKADE X

"SKADE X is a new team, but this time with the Norwegian scene in focus," says Morten Skaland, SKADE's CEO. "We have great faith in the team we have assembled, and not least in the wholeness that we get from the various parties in the collaboration.

"This is the first time that someone has come together in Norway to build a story like this, which we believe is important for the scene to be able to flourish here at home as well."

The team is built with a focus on the national Telialigaen, which truth, Marcelious and Grus have won in the past. The goal for the first season is to compete with the best teams in Norway and secure a spot in the tournament's LAN finals, which will take place at SpillExpo in Lillestrøm on November 11-13.

SKADE X is:

Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes
Ole "⁠Marcelious⁠" Kristian Langan
Jesper "⁠Jimbo⁠" Kamsrud
Sander "⁠Grus⁠" Iversen
Eskil "⁠LaX⁠" Bjørnsen

Halvor "⁠vENdetta⁠" Gulestøl (coach)

I actually didn't know that, I thought it's an Eastern European org or something, thanks for the info (Btw their webpage literally says "We are Skade, a Norwegian esports organization..." xd)

2022-08-08 22:28

Skade also means «damage» in norwegian :) glad u learned something

2022-08-09 03:54

Actually has some good players on there

2022-08-08 21:20

2022-08-09 14:45

Marcelious is probably the 2nd best Norwegian awper after hallzerk and a good talent if he can learn how to play at higher levels which seems likely under vendetta

2022-08-09 16:16

u are braindead

2022-08-09 20:23

Ez for Marcelious Wallace

1.05 highest rating, is it really going to work?

2022-08-08 21:23

who cares about rating 1.0 these days? why hltv has it implemented

2022-08-08 21:38

Marcelious has a 1.2 past 3 months

2022-08-09 16:25

True that, did not check, my bad. Then perhaps there is some potential, at least they got a star.

2022-08-08 21:52

We have always been bad (except for the first half of 2000 when only norway/sweden/denmark had good internet)

2022-08-08 22:00

You were pretty decent in CS from 2010-15 🌟

2022-08-08 22:10

generarion change in the 2010s and the former players just left CS all together, the young olayers had no coaching and the whole scene has been filled with joking around and toxicness. Last 2-3 years its finally starting to get better

2022-08-09 14:47

rich and expensive country, esports never paid that much to consider that as a career. obviously like in any sports, its possible to pursue that, just not as attractive, they probably get paid 3000 a month doing shit jobs.

2022-08-09 00:58

Suffering from success.

2022-08-09 13:17

Every part of the Norwegian scene is so bad. We have no stable teams, insane egos and toxicity behind every corner. Norwegian scene is almost as bad as uk...
