Lions part with CS team

10-8-2010 23:32

HLTV.org has learned that Lions and their Counter-Strike team have gone seperate ways.

The Norwegian squad has decided to part company with their organization after several disagreements over a longer period of time, uttering it is time to move on.

Rumors the past week had indicated that former MYM and NiP member Øyvind "KF3" Magnestad would join up as the team's permanent fifth player, replacing Michael "mikkis" Sokki.

Going from rumor to reality, Øyvind Magnestad was today confirmed as Michael Sokki's replacement. Together, the team will continue their careers.

HLTV.org knows that the team is already in talks with a new organization, though supposedly not 4Kings.

These five currently stand without an organization:

Thomas "Vertigo" Andresen
Øyvind "KF3" Magnestad
Martin "hellzerk" Solbakken
Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard
Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen

too bad, hope they find another orga

2010-08-10 23:36

Hope the team will stay alive in another org. .)) I love 'em (OK, I like mikkis more than kalle or Vertigo, but thats just personal opinion..so I am sad that mikkis is the one who "part ways" with Lions).

HaHaHaHa Nice Joke . 4Kings would definately think to grab good players, k1ck is not at that level of even LIONS H2K or ex MYM . So Think twice mate before u write such post .

1st of all I didn't say that 4K should or would grab k1ck lineup, and probably you shouldn't talk about a them that you don't know that well, remind you that k1ck won Lions when they had REAL last year's Gamegune with 19.11. I think they aren't the best option for 4K but they aren't that bad ;)

2010-08-11 12:48

I though they were doing fine :(

2010-08-11 16:02

all gone wrong since pekky left. I thought the team was going to go really far, they just need to stay together. Shame about CS is that even big teams aren't managed properly, never stay together long enough to make a lasting impact. anywho, hellzerk is gunna be one of the best players in the world imo, kf3...is not.

Dead? If you take the time to read the content in this article you will find that the roster is already in contact with a different org, hence not dead.

the norwegian cs scene died when cbteam parted. Lions were never a TOPteam, and they will never be that either ;). U need players like REAL to make that happend, and as far as i can see, Lions never had someone like that.
