TCM-Gaming add Nuggi

16-2-2011 21:18

UK-based TCM-Gaming have announced that Nikolaj "Nuggi" Larsen has been introduced into their Counter-Strike ranks.

TCM-Gaming had prior to the Intel Extreme Masters 5 European Championship Finals in January announced Danish-based No Problem! as their new Counter-Strike representatives.

The Danish squad had the previous week put an end to their cooperation with Copenhagen Wolves, while at the same time replaced Daniel "dalle" Kjersgaard for Michael "Friis" Jørgensen.

Now, roughly one month later, the team has been subject to yet another change as Taymaz "TAY" Babaiasl has decided to step down because of his lowered level of motivation.

"Today we will announce a change in our lineup - Tay didn’t feel like playing with the team anymore and decided not to continue. So after some discussion with the team, we are happy to present our new player, Nuggi! He will act like the 2. awp and he is a very talented and a well respected player in the danish scene! We all look forward to our next event, Intel Extreme Masters Global Finals in 2 weeks", Baljit "zE-" Lal told the team's website.

Nuggi links up with TCM-Gaming

In order to fill the void created by Babaiasl, the team has called upon the former Gravitas man Nikolaj "Nuggi" Larsen, who the last year has been donning the colors of Cheap Times!

Larsen will have his debut in less than two weeks, which is when TCM-Gaming will be taking the trip to Hannover to attend Intel Extreme Masters 5 World Championship.

TCM-Gaming now have:

Baljit "zE-" Lal
Danny "BERRY" Krüger
Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer
Michael "Friis" Jørgensen
Nikolaj "Nuggi" Larsen

tay was a beast with his awp, but nuggi is also high quality player. decent line from tcm

interesting descision. good luck TCM

ye, nice player

I think TAY wanted to play awp and the team didn't, because Friis is a better awper?

friis arent better ... sad tay lose place in team :/

2011-02-16 21:43

false to my mind, TAY has a better awp than friis. If this one is the sniper of the team, it's because he doesn't know play with others weapons (like cogu)

2011-02-16 21:33

zE- + friis + nuggi... sounds good

2011-02-16 21:27

expected and deserved

2011-02-16 21:29

nuggi good choise but still They shouldnt have deleted tay they need to delete ze instead:p

2011-02-16 21:31

They didnt deleted TAY, "Tay didn’t feel like playing with the team anymore and decided not to continue. So after some discussion with the team, we are happy to present our new player, Nuggi!"

2011-02-16 22:20

zE is one of the best

2011-02-17 04:59

expected. a really good player switch i must say after watching him play in their last official game. Nuggi was much better than i expected, guess he got a big motivation boost now that he's finally in a team that actually have the ability to deal damage in international tournaments and also got a stable org behind them. best of luck!

lol dude :D feel so sorry for you

2011-02-16 22:11

and why is that, if i may ask?

2011-02-16 22:12

good choice

nice :DDDDD

2011-02-16 21:34

v. good player

2011-02-16 21:36

To all of you posting BERRY should be kicked/leave. Just so you guys know, he is the ingame leader, and the team wouldn't work without him !

2011-02-16 21:37

finally, someone that got a brain! thank god BERRY is a good fragger, a good leader and very smart. He is the most qualified player in the danish scene to lead this team(except arcadion and ave)

You got all your assumptions right ;)

Isn't wazorn a good IGL too? (He is an IGL isn't he? O.o)

wazorn is retired.. but yes he was igl when arcadion left the team

2011-02-16 23:21

I thought he just played with mTw not long ago, meeh so much happens when stuck with work! -.-

2011-02-16 23:25

yea i know :S but he was just a standin for them at iem5 at the first match coz ave had a exam :)

2011-02-16 23:28

AAAAH ok :D Tak m8 :)

2011-02-16 23:38

he isnt retired, he got a new team

2011-02-17 00:38

Ok nice.. its just he announced his retirement the last time i saw it but nice for him ^^

2011-02-17 10:11

Nice And Gl

2011-02-16 21:38

to bad i liked tay.

2011-02-16 21:40

I liked him too but this lineup might be better since they will have a higher motivation level:)

2011-02-17 14:03

would rather have seen turkizh

he was awesome in last matches i saw him.. smart move from tcm gaming

TAY was the best with snappi....

2011-02-16 21:46

some one from exFG will be better

2011-02-16 21:48

not very suprising the did imba good as standin

2011-02-16 21:54

New DK TEAM: suranga, wazorn, turkizh, FaagaN, Sunde Good ?

Not gonna happend :D

Okey :D But good team ?

2011-02-16 21:58

Nice , Nuggi is good player !

2011-02-16 22:00

Nuggi is an awesome player, love him from "ideal" times with xone etc.

2011-02-16 22:09

ideal was a very good team yes :)

2011-02-17 02:17

Tay > Nuggi, bad news

Naah, players incomparable, different styles (one awp, one rifles), Tay unmotivated, nuggi motivated = good for team-spirit= GOOD NEWS!!

2011-02-16 22:34

Well yeah, you're right but I hoped to see TAY bring in some serious awping

2011-02-16 22:53

Understandable point, but as he seems to have lost motivation to play on a professional level, that won't happen I guess :-)

2011-02-16 22:58

what the hell are you talking of replacing ze? he is an awesome teamplayer and really skilled. ze will only leave to join mtw :)

2011-02-16 22:15

who are you talking to? If you want to refer to a user just press the "reply"button and he/she will know about your point. Aside from that point, whoever wrote that zE is bad for the team, I do support your point... leaving aside mTw players, ze is one of the best danish player, for sure.

2011-02-16 22:38

TAY is weak. NUGGI ++++++++++++

2011-02-16 22:16

Friis is on another level compared to Tay

2011-02-16 22:17

good decision, gl Nuggi

2011-02-16 22:27

Sad to see Xaxa fall apart. Tay was fkn good

2011-02-16 22:29

TAY, tukizh, sunde, wazorn and fagan!

nice roster for iem5 finals

they should take suraNga he is good or even FaagaN but Nuggi is really skilled too i think they will rulle anyway

2011-02-16 22:40

gl :D

2011-02-16 22:39

in this moment they play pcw versus NaVi =) nuggi top fragger

2011-02-16 22:46

liked tay's awp

stf n4p

2011-02-16 22:51

+tay -berry

sad but I'll always love TCM becouse of Friis

2011-02-16 22:54

sad that friis will leave again as soon as he gets too bored with things... :D

2011-02-17 02:18

I look forward to something like that happens :)

2011-02-17 13:32

like Friis getting a better offer? where should that offer come from? mTw has enough self-absorbed players for the moment, i only see him change positions with minet/trace without making mTw a worse team. And as for that change, i don't see that happening any time soon as both minet and trace is playing fine...

2011-02-18 08:52

Uhh, trace is mTw's best player...

2011-02-18 09:22

uhh a team consists of five players, not one :) you can't be the best alone :-( and what i'm trying to say has nothing with skill to do, you have to consider their personality as well as their skill :-) i believe friis has the same kind of personality as trace & minet rather than zonic, ave and arcadion. and to maintain a topteam you need someone who's stable as a person, and i just don't see Friis in that way :)

2011-02-18 12:20

i think about offer came from one of the swedish teams :) like karrigan he can change the country :P that will be amazing :) he is on of the best players of the world imo :)

2011-02-18 10:58

he has one of the biggest ego's and unlike karrigan he does not speak fluently in a 3rd lang. such as swedish or german... EDIT: But yeah he's very skilled :) i think the reason why he's not playing in mTw is that he's more complicated than what's good for a topplayer :>
