Lions to Copenhagen with Delpan

18-10-2010 21:13

Lions will this week attend two events in Copenhagen, but they will be without Frej "kHRYSTAL" Sjöström, who is unable to travel with the team, due to an important math test.

The former Meet Your Makers AWP'er Marcus "Delpan" Larsson, who has been without a team ever since the MYM breakup, will this week help Lions, when attending DSRack LAN #3 and Komplett Gamer Challenge #2.

Larsson stand-in for Lions in Copenhagen this week.

Lions will be without Frej "kHRYSTAL" Sjöström, who is not able to travel with the team to Copenhagen, as he has an important math test this Thursday.

"It's totally my own decision not to go there. I really want to but I have to put higher priority on this right now." - Sjöström told HLTV.org.

Lions will for DSRack LAN #3 and KGC #2 consist of the following:

Richard "Xizt" Landström
Niklas "niko" Johansson
Marcus "Delpan" Larsson
Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson
Björn "threat" Pers

You will be able to catch Lions in action Wednesday to Thursday, where they will play DSRack LAN #3 and Friday to Saturday, when attending KGC #2.

Not to mention the only reason why Delpan is playing for Lions at these events is because kHRYSTAL can't.

2010-10-18 21:24

If he turns out great, why wouldn't they keep him? But still, Threat isn't the man that should be replaced, imo

2010-10-18 21:26

6 replies

Because these guys are doing just fine, kicking a member and adding another will most likely screw up the balance in the team. CS isn't all about fragging, it's also about the teamplay. These guys are really close and I believe they have found their ultimate lineup. Delpan should go to SK or start up something new with some young players ;)

2010-10-18 21:28

5 replies

Many of current Lions member already played with Delpan.. So the chemistry and teamplay shouldn't be that of a problem.. Anyways, let's not speculate, and just wait and see what happens :D

2010-10-18 21:31

4 replies

Nothing will happen, trust me :/ Also, what makes you think they will make lineup changes? They needed a replacement for kHRYSTAL for these 2 events, they bring in another player, that's it.

Just saying it's not realistic that he would join Lions and the only reason why he's playing with them is because kHRYSTAL can't, nothing else.

2010-10-18 22:36

just because hes a fan doesnt mean he has to be a fanboy

2010-10-19 12:41

IGL role is so overrated, xizt or niko could do it but imo threat isnt at the same level as the others.

2010-10-18 21:22

4 replies

If it was overrated, carn, ave, and many many others wouldn't have a team right now. Threat knows the game very well, and ever since he joined Lions, they were getting better and better. His aim may not be like in the days of Blank, but he still has a great mind for the game

2010-10-18 21:25

THREAT strats is what brings the other to that level :|

2010-10-18 21:29

OMFG, you have definitely no clue about CS at all! The most pathetic comment ever

2010-10-18 21:33

The fact is that in theory it might work that anyone could just call strats. But in practice, the thing is that most people aren't comfortable with stepping up and telling everyone what to do, and also, when the team fails at some point, I would think that the IGL is the most likely person to change how the team plays. You could see this pretty clearly in the former roccat / gameplay lineup when lurppis left/got kicked and contE was calling strats. In the beginning they did very well, even better than with lurppis, but then in a few months, they didn't from my perspective change their game up at all and did all the same strats as they did 6 months ago and became extremely predictable. Naturally one could probably find other reasons as well, but I think that a real IGL who has done that job and thinks strategically was one of the biggest.

2010-10-18 22:52

barbarr called strats in that particular team.

Actually, you were right. But ever since the retirment of Jumpy and addition of FYRR73, MYM was going down and down..

yeah i 100% agree with what you said, just because the strat caller doesnt drop massive frag counts, doesnt mean he is valued. That being said, i really liked that MYM team :(

i think this team can do really good because its almost the same lineup as sweden had on enc when they won.. just +xizt -get_right, think they will do top3!

2010-10-18 21:54

I dont understand you people! No matter what team, you always want to change players! Lions is great team. More then year ago it was almost the same lineup but they had face instead of Xizt and they were doing really good until SK wanted to buy 2 of their players, cuz SK felt scared of new raising team in Sweden. Now back with that awesome lineup you still want some chances. Leave it, because every player in that team is very skilled and experienced, what is more they are really good friends, playing together long it. Give them some time and you will see 3rd Swedish giant, easly being in top5 world

2010-10-18 22:51

Always great to see Delpan in the public eye. If he preforms well hopefully he will be picked up, but I do not see many need for changes in the top 3 teams at the moment. Fnatic, SK, and Lions all have great chemistry right now and throwing Deplan in could cause problems.

threat = IGL kHRYSTAL = too awesome xizt = the mad fragger (possibly in the top 5 swedish aimers) niko = pistol king and a great teamplayer in 2 v x , and 3 v x situations .. fyrr73 = if u have seen him , u know that he plays the role of entry fragger and he is damn good at it ..... and we can see this chemistry showing good results as Lions are dominating these days .... so even an outrageous player like Delpan shouldnt be added now b/c i think these guys are way better than SK at the moment and with the increasing rate of their improvement , they will be top 5 in the world in a year if they stick together .... so goodluck to delpan but in Lions ?? it shouldnt be permanent

Lions can get rly stronger whit delpan but instead of -khrystal i say -niko or -trheat , more random but more agressive

yep, pronax is better, it sucks he had to leave

2010-10-19 08:24

delpan is probably the only (caught) cheater that i have respect for. that's how good his awp is.

if theres proof for him cheating the fucking fag should be banned forever.... if ones 2 low 2 play he shouldnot play. and if ones ultrahigh he doesnot need cheats.

2010-10-20 08:11

yep in that demo there is nothing special, teammates could tell him where enemies where and he had sounds i suppose

2010-10-19 08:46

hes still really good, GL Lions :)

2010-10-19 09:49

Delpan is easily better than kHRYSTAL so maybe this temporarily change will make them better, even though they won't have the same teamplay.

2010-10-19 09:51

2010-10-19 12:35

yeah if lions had removed threat they would have been better butno, why do you idiots think that threat is bad? hes been playing great for Lions.

threat really isnt skilled enough to be on this team. His skill reminds me of Jumpy's. You can say Jumpy was good, but if you watched a POV of him, he was easily the least skilled pro. I cant comment on threats ingame calling, since im not on the team. But hes probably the least skilled pro swede right now.

I think he means that walle is the least skilled pro swede atm and have been for at least a year.

2010-10-19 17:03

-threat +Delpan will lead to epic fail I think. People are underestimating leadership and team chemistry. These things are fundamental to a successful team

2010-10-19 17:11

i already say that -.-

2010-10-19 18:40

Awesome. Get a known cheater to play for you.

coz he's still cheating. on lan. NOT

2010-10-19 19:45

Lions don't really need changes.. u will see that Delpan will not bring something big to them, he would bring more to SK imo. & btw niko is the best LIONS player, he always makes them win gunrounds & help them in the important rounds + madffraging vs top teams so please next time you want to say something check it before :)
