Preasy sign roeJ from fnatic

roeJ re-unites with nicoodoz and vorborg in the embers of Copenhagen Flames.

roeJ is the second high-profile departure from fnatic this week

Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen has been signed by Preasy from fnatic and will replace Alexander "⁠tOPZ⁠" Miklagard on the starting lineup.

He will join fellow ex-Copenhagen Flames members Daniel "⁠Vorborg⁠" Vorborg and Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi there, who were also key parts of the Danes' underdog run to the playoffs of PGL Major Antwerp.

The move means fnatic are down to three, after William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman joined Vitality earlier this week.

"roeJ is very gifted in reading the game on the fly," Vorborg told HLTV. "[He can] set up easy-to-understand rounds that counter the way the enemy plays in or against map control. We want to play a very free-flowing brand of CS, but that requires strong communicators and players that are good at reading the opponents as we go — roeJ brings all of that."

The move will also mean a slight re-shuffling of roles to allow roeJ his favored map control positions. "We've had a bit of an issue with roles on the team since the inception. We've lacked a rifler that thrives in playing map control, and the central positions on CT. roeJ has basically done nothing else his entire career.

"tOPZ has been trying to play the map control roles, but it wasn't his natural strength as a player, and on CT refrezh can take a step back and play more anchor positions, which he wanted to do from the start."

roeJ's first test will be at the fourth iteration of CCT's online finals, where Preasy's full lineup will be:

Denmark Ismail "⁠refrezh⁠" Ali
Denmark Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen
Denmark Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi
Denmark Thomas "⁠TMB⁠" Bundsbæk
Denmark Alexander "⁠Altekz⁠" Givskov

Denmark Daniel "⁠Vorborg⁠" Vorborg (coach)

Denmark Alexander "⁠tOPZ⁠" Miklagard (benched)

I like this move for both teams and the player. Fnatic can finally properly rebuild, roej goes back to a danish squad where he plays his best CS, and Preasy gets an experienced veteran aggressive player who can help nicodoz in opening duels more. Overall, for all 3 parties involved, big W.
