Johnny Speeds release SHiNE

The young Swedish in-game leader is free to join a new project.

Casper "⁠SHiNE⁠" Wennerberg has entered free agency two weeks after he was benched on Johnny Speeds.

With Jack "⁠Jackinho⁠" Ström Mattsson in place of SHiNE, the team won the $4215 Svenska Elitserien Spring LAN finals and climbed to #57 on the HLTV World Rankings (#1 in Sweden).

Their fight to be Sweden's number one was helped by the signing of wunderkind Liam "⁠MaiL09⁠" Tügel and their launch as a fully-fledged organization in February.

22-year-old SHiNE has been through the Swedish ringer already, turning out for EYEBALLERS, Metizport, and Johnny Speeds in the last three years, and is now on the lookout for a new project.

"Dont know what to say to be honest," SHiNE said when he was benched. "This one came to me quite unexpectedly and also feels pretty unfair in many ways. But thats life i guess... I respect the decision and wish all the players and staff good luck moving forward. It was a quick little fun ride together."

Johnny Speeds are now:

Sweden William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin
Sweden Anton "⁠Sapec⁠" Palmgren
Sweden Leo "⁠Svedjehed⁠" Svedjehed
Sweden Liam "⁠MaiL09⁠" Tügel

Sweden André "⁠BARBARR⁠" Möller (coach)

kreaz doesnt wanna play in a swedish team and there is no one else, it'll be lekr0, i mean they played with him as a stand-in for adamb there is 0 chance they dont sign him (unless they go international, then MAYBE)

Aha, so it isn't confirmed? I agree that it's hard to see many other options.. at least except for Kreaz. Has to be HEAP for Adamb as well right?
