Sources: Gaimin Gladiators release team

The players were informed last night that their contracts had been terminated.

nicoodoz has already announced that he is a free agent

Gaimin Gladiators have parted ways with their Counter-Strike squad, sources with knowledge of the situation told HLTV. The team members were informed on Tuesday evening that their contractual agreement had been terminated immediately.

Known for their highly successful DOTA 2 squad Gaimin Gladiators returned to Counter-Strike in April 2024 with the signing of ECSTATIC's roster, which had made it to the Elimination Stage of the Copenhagen Major weeks earlier.

The team could not reach the same heights under the Canadian organization, even after the high-profile arrivals of Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi and Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen, who were signed in July to replace Patrick "⁠Patti⁠" Larsen and Jason "⁠salazar⁠" Salazar.

The squad has been outside the top 30 since May and crashed out of MESA Nomadic Masters Spring and XSE Pro League in last place without a single victory to their name.

nicoodoz was the first player to announce his departure from Gaimin Gladiators. In a post on X, the Danish AWPer said he is a free agent.

Gaimin Gladiators have not yet made an announcement about the dismissal of the lineup or their future plans in the game. They had the following roster:

Denmark Magnus "⁠Nodios⁠" Olsen
Denmark Jonas "⁠Queenix⁠" Dideriksen
Denmark Tobias "⁠kraghen⁠" Kragh Jensen
Denmark Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen
Denmark Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi

Denmark Peter "⁠casle⁠" Ardenskjold (coach)

Denmark Patrick "⁠Patti⁠" Larsen (benched)
Denmark Jason "⁠salazar⁠" Salazar (benched)

Roej is already 31, but he was such a good player like 3 years ago.. Sad to see this kind of potential go missing since he didn't really have a decent career..

His professional career started way later than the avg. pro you find nowadays. For that, it's a decent career tbh

Wdym, he won a LAN, played at a major 4 times, went to major playoffs 2 times, this is something most players do not achieve and he’s still not bad individually

I am not saying he had no career, but in my eyes his potential was higher.. He was a selfless player who was making round winning plays, I'd have expected him to have some t1 trophies, hltv tops etc..

Is anyone surprised? Signing a team because they overperformed 1 time and you think you can guarantee stickers was dumb. Ecstatic owner is the real winner.
