acoR leaves ECSTATIC

The Danish sniper has opted not to extend his contract for 2026.

Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand has announced his departure from ECSTATIC following the expiry of his contract, making him a free agent.

"When I joined ESCTATIC, it was on a short contract with an option to extend. An option I have chosen not to take going into this new year," the AWPer said on X.

The 28-year-old joined ECSTATIC in September and averaged a 1.04 rating across his tenure. With the experienced Dane, the team notably reached the final of DraculaN Season 3 and placed 4th at Fragadelphia Blocktober 2025.

Their form at the end of the year netted them an invite to the upcoming BLAST Bounty 2026 S1, set to begin on January 12 with the online stage.

With acoR's departure, ECSTATIC are:

Denmark Thomas "⁠TMB⁠" Bundsbæk
Denmark Anton "⁠Anlelele⁠" Huynh
Denmark Martin "⁠nut nut⁠" Holm Vestergaard
Denmark William "⁠sirah⁠" Kjærsgaard

look, I liked watching acoR play, but if he can't even farm CCT then he's not underrated by any means, as he is considered tier 3 player and played solid in tier 3.
