kalle once again active in ESC Gaming

9-11-2011 20:00

ESC Gaming has announced that Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen has returned from inactivity and will re-enter the lineup, starting with tonight's match against mousesports in the German League Cup.

Two months ago ESC Gaming announced the arrival of a Danish duo, as Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen went inactive and Markus "pronax" Wallsten departed the team.

The Danish duo is no longer with the team, instead the team brought back Wallsten and picked up Jonathan "lidde" Lidgren. Since then, the team has had a hard time to live up to the results they delivered earlier this year, most recently crashing out in the group stage at ESWC 2011.

ESC has now announced the return of Haraldsen, who once again has the required time to play with the team. This also means that Lidgren has been released from the team, in order to make space for Haraldsen in the starting five.

"I've finally got things in place, so now I got more time next to the school and the job that is enough to be able to play actively before the events. Big thanks to the community for the support and the team that still want me back! I'm happy to be back, cu on DreamHack and EPS finals!" – Said Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen.

kalle back in action for ESC Gaming

ESC Gaming now consists of:

Andreas "moddii" Fridh
André "BARBARR" Möller
Markus "pronax" Wallsten
Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard
Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen

Haraldsen will return to ESC tonight, when playing the German League Cup semi-final against mousesports and will furthermore play with the team at the German EPS finals and MSI BEAT IT 2011 later this month.

Great news!

pronax does some really questionable things, he pushes and peeks a lot when he shouldnt. loses them a lot of rounds imo.

2011-11-11 20:18

pfff.. fuck off

good

Hope that they can perform as well as they did at GameGune. This line-up can be top 3 for sure and kalle is a fantastic player! And by the way, you may wanna edit to kalle not kale, Nix0n.

Doesn't matter. The players were at their top individually at that tournament, at least pronax, kalle and BARBARR were fantastic. MODDII I believe has had better tournaments and he has played better but that doesn't mean that he didn't play good, he always plays good. And tacky has stepped up a bit now, he played great their last games.

I don't want to ridicule you in any way, but in my honest opinion I can't see that happening if WinFakt qualifies...

2011-11-09 21:17

Every opinion is welcome my Scandinavian friend :) WinFakt is probably better at the moment but I believe that ESC can be considered as a top team again, depends on the motivation in the team and it's gotta' be high now that they got kalle back. WinFakt is a team that is also evolving day by day and they have a strong line-up.

I'm sorry, I always mess up Nordic and Scandinavian in English even if the word is pretty much the same as in Swedish, dunno why =)

Ja, no problem, I said that just so you know.

2011-11-09 23:02

Norden och Skandinavien, yes, very similar in swedish...

2011-11-09 23:12

Yep, and still I manage to mess them up =)

2011-11-10 10:53

Karringa was replacing tacky right? And if im not wrong Karrigan played OK in that tournament. And also, tacky has been playing amazingly lately, so perhaps this will be a better team than the one played the dreamhack tourney. PS: Im not arguing with you, just asking you if this info is right, and what do you think of my thoughts

2011-11-09 21:47

karrigan playing O.K. is like x2 tacky. At that karrigan played absolutely incredibly in some games at GG. tacky is a different kind of player, he brings different things to the team. However, he is definitely not as good as karrigan, whom imo is a top 5-7 player in the world right now. Their only downside in that tournament was the fact karrigan was new to the team, thus it wasn't a full chemistry squad. Then again, ESC arguably had the easiest bracket also. more or less, ESC = Winfakt = M5 (any one of them can beat each other on any given day), however now with mtw dismantled all 3 of these teams have better odds at a top 3 finish.

2011-11-09 23:42

+1 esc need karrigan!

2011-11-10 01:49

Are you seriously saying Winfakt is as good as MoscowFive :DDD M5 is top5 team at the moment with SK, AGAiN, Na'Vi and mTw (at least the old mTw lineup, lets see what they will do with the future lineup). Even if they havent really won any BIG tournaments, they've been finishing top3 in almost every tournament with really good teams.

2011-11-10 15:41

Top 3 at Copenhagen Games with this lineup =)

2011-11-10 14:47

good news kalle insane

better choice

2011-11-09 20:02

good to know this awesome team is back!

seems legit

The Norwegian viking returns! :D

nice! lidde is a good player so im sure he will find a great team

He's OK but in my opinion he's not good enough to play in either ESC, fnatic, SK or Lions.

2011-11-09 20:05

agree with you lidde's brother

Hey! He's copying me! :@

2011-11-09 20:14
