hampus goes on loan to Johnny Speeds as VLDN returns to BLEED's starting five

12-9-2024 17:08

BLEED's post-RMR qualifier musical chairs ends with nawwk staying and hampus departing.

hampus will return to Sweden to link up with draken in Johnny Speeds

Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser has departed BLEED on loan to Johnny Speeds, returning to his homeland with a full-Swedish lineup.

BLEED's roster has been in flux since their collapse from 2-0 to 2-3 in the European closed qualifier for the Shanhai Major RMR.

OG, KOI, and BLEED miss out as EU RMR qualifiers reach end

After sporting several lineups in the last few weeks, including one with hampus and Bulgarian AWPer Deyvid "⁠h4rn⁠" Benchev replacing Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson, it is just BLEED's former IGL who makes way with nawwk back in the squad.

As recently as August 30, head coach and general manager Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović took to Twitter to say hampus had a "set buyout" and was "not going anywhere," but the situation has developed to the point where his exit could not be prevented.

The direct replacement for hampus is supportive rifler Vladan "⁠VLDN⁠" Radević, who was harshly benched in May to make space for incoming signing Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad and now returns to the starting five.

kassad turned nexa into an IGL at Renegades in 2017 — could he do the same in BLEED?

It remains to be seen who will take over hampus' in-game leadership duties for the new lineup.

Former G2 skipper Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković is one option, though he has gone on record multiple times to state a preference for his current lurker-anchor roles, as is 30-year-old veteran jkaem.

Johnny Speeds part ways with chawzyyy

Johnny Speeds also missed out on the Shanghai RMR after Hugo "⁠chawzyyy⁠" Günther missed the qualifier for personal reasons.

hampus enters the mix as in-game leader to relieve William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin of the captaincy he has held since Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson was acquired by BC.Game.

He will debut on September 13 against Rebels online before appearing on LAN with the squad at Svenska Cupen 2024 in November.

Johnny Speeds are now:

William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin
Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser
Olle "⁠spooke⁠" Grundström
Kalle "⁠Ro1f⁠" Johansson
Jonatan "⁠bobeksde⁠" Persson

Christian "⁠chrille⁠" Lindberg (coach)

While BLEED are:

Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković
Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson
Cai "⁠CYPHER⁠" Watson
Vladan "⁠VLDN⁠" Radević

Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović (coach)

another kassad disasterclass but respect for +vldn

2024-09-14 16:13

Yeah, Hampus is such an underated igl, hejust had 9 chance to get one round on t side mirage for the RMR spot. 9 chances against GL. His calls are so on point.

2024-09-13 02:00

Just let the guy call in Swedish and the problems are no more

2024-09-13 11:03

Hampus is good individual player , but questionable igl.

2024-09-13 19:23

2024-09-12 18:16

is draken's dad not funding them? he's a multi millionaire isn't he?

2024-09-12 18:10

Something like that. They were recently at NIPs office and had a bootcamp, someone had to fund that (even tho Erik Wendell said they got given a fair prize). But they are still searching for a team and draken did mention that the players can't go without wages for too much longer.

2024-09-12 18:19

wow no way

Losing your IGL on loan is crazy?!?

If nexa is not igl who tf is lol, its gotta be nexa

Only chance for him to save his career in t3 is to igl otherwise no team will pick him up with his stats so it has to be him

2024-09-12 17:37

If they go with the move -nawwk +h4rn then h4rn could be the IGL as well.. Bu who knows what's happening in the head of the genius Kassad 😅

2024-09-12 18:22

I'd like this. harn is 10x better then nawwk

2024-09-12 19:52

wasn’t kassad saying he’s going nowhere like a week ago

ok now nawk to metiz

2024-09-12 17:16

LMAO

2024-09-12 17:21

Kassad: 'hampus is not going anywhere' - your igl goes on loan to a orgless team?! Bleed: 'VLDN brings valuable experience' - he played in tier3 for 2 years bleed being the highest achievement, where does he bring that experience from?! I mean, while i think vldn is a good player and did well in bleed (no reason imp to be cut), if they dont bring an igl wtf are they doing Ofc this might just be a replacement till after rmr/major so they have more options, but still losing ur igl after saying you wont is crazy considering nexa said he doesnt want to igl unless he changed his mind so he stays in the business after the attrocious year he had

2024-09-12 17:22

would rather have the worst player as igl atleast if he has to stay

2024-09-12 17:23

Aleksandar „hes going nowhere I’m very close to him“ Trifunovich collecting L‘s like they‘re trading cards

2024-09-12 17:26

2024-09-12 17:47

Cypher’s the last man standing :( I’m happy to see VLDN back though

2024-09-12 17:53

The only worthwhile signing tbh

2024-09-12 19:53

clown fiesta

2024-09-12 17:57

Now pick up a good IGL like Sense, he just departed CPH Wolves, and then reunite Apeks lol

2024-09-12 17:58

it just gets worse

2024-09-12 18:07

Funny how both Hampus and Kassad have talked shit about the poorly managed revolving door roster with roles that didn't fit/clashed that NiP was while Hampus was there only for BLEED to turn out kinda the same and Hampus seemingly once again being fed up with it

draken and hampus best friends again. nice

2024-09-12 18:11

kassad masterclass

2024-09-12 18:12

thanks for keeping us in tune

2024-09-12 18:14

2024-09-12 18:38

Finally, they got rid of hampus. He id literally the biggest douchebag ever.

2024-09-12 19:23

Johnny Speeds back on track

2024-09-12 19:25

2024-09-13 02:12

hampus ruining another team lessssgoooo

2024-09-13 02:39

hampous has no price

2024-09-13 03:43

Isn't Johnny Speeds orgless? Is Hampus just going to go there and not earn any salary or are Bleed still paying him? Seems like a really odd move all around. It'd make sense if Bleed were selling Hampus but letting him leave on loan is weird.
