sL1m3 joins Sashi, n1Xen benched

sL1m3 has already helped Sashi win POWER Ligaen Season 25.

sL1m3 replaces n1Xen on Sashi's starting roster

Sashi has announced that AWPer Emil "⁠sL1m3⁠" Stolz has joined the team with immediate effect, with Mikkel "⁠n1Xen⁠" Borlund being moved to the bench to make room for the incoming 18-year-old.

With this move Sashi still have one more open slot on the starting roster, as Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen recently departed the team after his loan from 00NATION expired.

"We have tested different players... with the objective of finding a permanent AWPer for our roster," Sashi's coach Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen said in a statement. "The result of that search has lead us to sL1m3, who is a young talent with a lot of passion for the game.

"sL1m3 joins Sashi Esport effective immediately, and has already proven his worth in these early days, as he helped us win the trophy in the most recent season of POWER Ligaen."

sL1m3 recently represented Sprout after being promoted from their academy roster at the start of the year, but posted a measly 0.92 average rating over 2024 as the team struggled for results. The young Dane was benched just before Sprout ceased operations and released their players.

He joins a Sashi squad who have mostly featured in regional events and qualifiers in recent times, winning the last two iterations of POWER Ligaen but making little headway in qualifiers for more prestigious tournaments.

sL1m3 served as a stand-in for Sashi during their most-recent POWER Ligaen victory, posting a 1.30 rating over five maps in the semi-finals and finals and being the second-highest rated player on the team.

Sashi are now:

Martin "⁠nut nut⁠" Holm Vestergaard
Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup
Mathias "⁠PR1mE⁠" Carlsen
Emil "⁠sL1m3⁠" Stolz

Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen (coach)

Mikkel "⁠n1Xen⁠" Borlund (benched)
Allan "⁠Speedy⁠" Sørensen (benched)

Why does Sashi always get articles? This team is completely irrelevant

2024-04-04 20:49

Prime and slime tier5 dynamic duo, also wasn't n1xen their best player?

2024-04-04 20:52

He most definitely was. However, he was moved to the AWP and I guess they didn't think he could keep up with that role in the long term. Denmark have some great up-and-coming awpers as well. Hopefully n1xen will get a tier 2 offer soon enough. He deserves it

reunited with NUT NUT goat

2024-04-04 20:58

Team not looking that bad, might crack top 80 now.

2024-04-04 21:12

n1xen is better than slime by a decent margin bad move, hopefully n1xen finds a better home, maybe ex-preasy over kristou?

2024-04-04 21:29

I dont think Nixen primary role is Awper, he was played it on Sashi becuase they were lacking one i belive. But he is still insane with both rifle and awp, could go places 100%
