OpTic to attend ESL Pro League with kwezz

6/10/2019 - 23:40

Oliver "⁠kwezz⁠" Rasmussen will step in for OpTic in the first group stage of ESL Pro League Season 10, team coach Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due has revealed.

The 19-year-old will step into the shoes of René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg, who has left the team amidst reports that he will return to North to replace OG-bound Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså.

On Twitter, team member Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen lamented the situation his team have been in since June, when the Immortals Gaming Club (IGC), owner of MIBR, announced the acquisition of Infinite Esports & Entertainment, OpTic Gaming's parent company. This has put the Danish squad up for sale and made it impossible for players to be added unless they arrive for nothing.

kwezz will fill in for OpTic in ESL Pro League

kwezz burst onto the competitive scene in 2017, when he played several King of Nordic tournaments and attended his first big LAN, Cross Border Esport, alongside current Tricked member Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen. This year, he has played for teams like Ambush, ImmuNe and maquinas, averaging a 0.91 rating across all competitions.

OpTic will face BIG, FaZe and mousesports in the first group stage of ESL Pro League, kicking off on Tuesday. cajunb's departure came just days after the team crashed out of DreamHack Masters Malmö 2019 in 9th-12th place after beating Liquid and losing to Natus Vincere and mousesports.

This means that OpTic will attend the tournament with:

Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen
Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen
René "⁠TeSeS⁠" Madsen
Oliver "⁠kwezz⁠" Rasmussen

Casper "⁠ruggah⁠" Due (coach)

all the young talent they picking up seems underwhelming af

2019-10-06 23:45

yea, a huge decision. Play in a tournament with "young talent" or don't attend at all. Hmm, yea. Bery Big Decision definetly shows they "ain't" scared.

2019-10-07 12:05

but ain't is a word...

2019-10-07 14:08

im not a grammar nazi, mr kangaroo men)) I highlighted "ain't" because optic decision is probably the only one they had (obviously apart from not attending). And im pretty sure that "ain't" is a word. Or maybe its not? I only heard it in memes or some shit. I dont know anymore. People keep saying "your" instead "you're" unironically or then instead than. Shits weird af.

2019-10-08 08:54

The English language is retarded. I was wrong ain't is a word but I thought it wasn't (nor should it be imo). Fair enough bro, have a good night/day

RIP OpTic :(

2019-10-06 23:43

who

"team coach René "cajunb" Borg has revealed." nice typo Also hopefully this young, unknown guy actually can show some promise. This is quite possibly the biggest chance he will ever get to prove himself.

0.9 rating while playing tier 3 max , yeah I don't think much will happen.

2019-10-07 09:04

THEY GOT RID OF MY #8 Sad face

I knewzz it

hahhaah luuuuuul 0.88

Thats sad to see. Rip k0nfig wasted talent.

What about kwezz? Is he a good player?

yeah, im good

2019-10-06 23:55

Could be decent in the future. Could have done better in Optic for this ESL group but it’s hard to say. They did put up reasonable numbers in the group.

2019-10-11 02:02

Is this kid dupreeh's brother or something like nephew?

Yeah I was waiting for a comment like this one , sadly I don't have an answer.

2019-10-07 06:25

2019-10-07 00:08

Canjunb is the biggest bitch that CS:GO scene ever had, he just did Optic --> C9 --> Optic --> North in less than a year. Everytime he sees a place in a team, he just goes and does shit for 3 months before leaving

2019-10-07 00:10

Hey dumbass he was a free agent on OpTic : no salary. Playing for free. The team is dying so they didn't sign him. He came to help and qualify for tournaments. Now he has a chance to go to North, sign a CONTRACT and get a SALARY. No bouyout. Months have passed since OpTic said they were willing to sell the team. He is going to wait forever ? Stfu.

2019-10-07 07:14

North Cajunbot ??? They need better Players for sure losing Valde already is huge now they bring in this Journeyman ?

2019-10-07 00:12

hahaha this bot

2019-10-07 00:28

Who? Mb 4+bot better?

2019-10-07 00:36

Ouch... Obviously a rushed decision sadly.

2019-10-07 00:42

Cojonesb

2019-10-07 00:43

North needs a competent IGL, gade is not. Simple as that. And who do they bring ? cajunb. I'm surprised cajunb is joining this dead team, they struggle so much with roles and they lack structure...

9 replies

Picking up Jugi was a huge mistake and allowing Gade to IGL is even worse.

2019-10-07 02:53

8 replies

Well gade might be better as an IGL since he doesnt bring firepower anyways

2019-10-07 03:57

IMO he's useless in North Valde was the IGL and they seemed to be doing fine under him. Replace Jugi with Nato and Gade with k0nfig and you have a good team

2019-10-07 04:46

You have no fucking clue if he is useless or not? You are just guessing.

2019-10-07 12:25

Who? Gade? mate ever since they added gade everything has been going downhill just look at the fucking results mate. Both Jugi and Gade are terrible fucking players. period.

2019-10-07 12:30

So the random noname hltv silver 2 can spot Gade is useless but somehow the professional players from North can't? Like are you for real mentally challenged? You have no clue how he acts in teamspeak or anything else, and you probably don't even know what a good player is. You just look at stats. You have no clue so stop acting like you know anything lmao

2019-10-07 19:00

"So the random noname hltv silver 2" And who are you to make this judgement? LMAO. Am I not allowed to have an opinion? or are people only allowed to have an opinion which you agree with? And if you watch the fucking games you can see how Jugi is useless and how gades call are fucking rubbish. Maybe you should actually watch cs?? LMAOOOO typical arrogant French boi. Go raise your white flag m8

2019-10-08 00:28

I can really just tell you suck at the game :D Just an assumption, and you've yet to prove otherwise. Yeah you're allowed to have an opinion, but if you want to voice your opinion on a forum then be ready for someone to challenge it????? Jugi has been really underwhelming. But you have no clue if Gade is a good caller or not. "How gades call are fucking rubbish." Okay, give me one example, should be easy, right? Not even French, nt.

2019-10-08 00:47

"I can really just tell you suck at the game :D " aight gamer I maintain a +1kd on HLTV but whatever. Fake flagging so reported lmao Gade won't work as an IGL IMO it's not in him I just don't see it working at all. I suppose future results will tell.

2019-10-08 00:48

Who? you have players such as nato, cadian and refezh but u choose this no namer?....... MSL wat doink

cajun why snek? PepeHands

2019-10-07 01:04

North wants CajunB instead of K0nfig, Niko, Stavn, Bubzkji? WELL DONE NORTH REPLACE YOUR YOUNG STARPLAYER WITH OLD MEDIOCRE PLAYER!

2019-10-07 01:23

Not to mention refrezh...

2019-10-07 05:34

CajunB might not be flashy, but he plays decent structured CS. Stable, consistenly performing on average (not excellent), but you need thse kind of guy in your team.

2019-10-07 07:16

Of course you do, That's why they have Gade and Aizy! JuGi is pretty flashy, Kjaerbye is gonna be the star now, but they North now has 3 potential support players... why? Aizy and Gade are enough of a support, they need someone young that can develop, at least in my opinion.

2019-10-07 16:28

errr... I thought aizy was meant to be one of the stars? Since he was one of the up and coming talents...

2019-10-07 23:15

Msl is trolling

2019-10-07 02:16

MSL is 24 years old? WTF no way.

2019-10-07 02:42

Lmao ikr

2019-10-07 10:50

MSL IS 24 NNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He looks like an anime character imo

2019-10-07 04:23

Cajunb is a free agent, that's probably why they are getting him. If you think the decision comes from Optic you don't understand anything. North should also bring k0nfig & MSL FFS, remove Jugi and Gade (or Aizy, depending on roles).
