Endpoint part ways with Fessor

The Dane will now become a free agent heading into the off-season.

Endpoint have announced the parting of ways with Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen by mutual agreement. The 22-year-old, who joined the squad only four months ago, is therefore free to explore his options in the market as a free agent.

The European squad, now on the market for a fifth, have already been playing without the Dane for over two weeks. Instead, Max "⁠MiGHTYMAX⁠" Heath and company have been competing with Aleksandar "⁠CacaNito⁠" Kjulukoski and Fraser "⁠Frazehh⁠" Sollom at events such as ESL Premiership Spring and CCT North Europe Series 5 after Fessor was benched mid-May.

Fessor had joined Endpoint in February to replace Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz following the Israeli rifler's transfer to ENCE. The Dane was coming off of a stint in Monte at the time, during which he had to deal with issues stemming from arthritis in his left hand in the late stages of 2022.

During his time in Endpoint the Dane struggled to fill the large shoes left by his predecessor — who is now shining on the world stage with ENCE —, as he recorded a 1.08 average rating to NertZ's 1.14. The British organization were thankful for "his aggression with the rifle," however, stating in their parting words that "[he] was key to our performances including semi-final finishes in three CCT events."

Endpoint announce Fessor signing

The aggressive style of Endpoint's two substitute players suggests it is an important trait the team is seeking, as Frazehh — who is playing the Premiership where a British core is needed — and especially CacaNito have taken 22% and 27% of opening duels, respectively, while under the orders of coach Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen.

NertZ's countryman, Tal "⁠meztal⁠" Hahiashvili, has also been one of the players in the mix to try out for the team, although he got his first matches in already before Fessor was moved to the bench. He started out subbing in for Nikita "⁠HeavyGod⁠" Martynenko before playing in the Danes' absence.

"We have decided to part ways with Frederik "Fessor" Sorensen by mutual consent," read the statement released by Endpoint.

"Endpoint will now trial new players to replace Frederik while he is free to explore new opportunities. [...] Endpoint remain committed to Counter-Strike and are looking to sign a new fifth soon to finish CS:GO and transition successfully to CS2."

Fessor and Endpoint will have one final reunion at ESL Challenger Relegation, where the Dane will play due to the tournament's roster lock rules.

Endpoint are currently:

Max "⁠MiGHTYMAX⁠" Heath
Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man
Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak
Nikita "⁠HeavyGod⁠" Martynenko

Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen (coach)
