Jumpy to stand in for Kjaerbye in Road to Rio

7-5-2020 20:32

Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson will stand-in for Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye for up to the remainder of ESL One: Road to Rio - Europe due to an illness on the player's part, North has announced.

The Danish organization announced the news shortly ahead of their penultimate match against Movistar Riders in the tournament's group stage, where they are currently sitting in tied-fifth place with a 2-3 record.

If Kjaerbye manages to recover before North's campaign in the tournament is over, the team will be allowed to revert the change according to Valve's Regional Major Ranking event rules.

Jumpy slots in for Kjaerbye

However, due to the substitution, the Danes will already suffer a 20% cut of the Regional Major Ranking points they earn in Road to Rio, and in case they opt to swap Kjaerbye back into the roster North's points would be reduced to 64% of the original value.

With six teams in the running for the second-fourth places in the group at the moment, a run to the playoffs looks unlikely albeit not impossible for Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen's team. Their fate hinges on the result against the Spaniards and against G2, whom North will face on Sunday, in addition to other results in the remainder of Group B.

North's lineup in ESL One: Road to Rio will be the following for the time being:

René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg
Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup
Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade
Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen
Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson (stand-in)

I hope it's not CORONA

Xyp best Astralis player by far, roster #1

2020-05-07 23:08

astralis will never sign kjaerbye again, except he would level up his perfromance massively, but that wont happen kjaerbyes snake move just destroyed his career imo.. north is probably not even the 3rd best danish team lol

2020-05-09 01:12

imagine signing esetag but than saying kjaerbye isnt good enough clearly its Kjaerbye > Esetag

2020-05-09 09:48

Yeah but there is more then on a scale.

2020-05-09 19:02

Sad for the other teams because Jumpy will destroy them!

post this when the game is almost finished

WOW, thanks for the news mr HLTV! That's just in time!

2020-05-07 20:34

Sad

ill and can't play online game? he would've been better than jumpy for sure no matter what

its probably not just a full nose bro.

2020-05-07 20:38

2020-05-07 20:52

2020-05-08 06:35

Get well soon

Kjaerbyes aimbot finally detected

Waiting for updates from his coder :KEKW:

Kjaerbye astralis

10 man roster incoming

2020-05-07 20:40

no 69 man roster

2020-05-07 20:53

Nice

2020-05-08 06:45

This will give them less points they will be able to get for RTR because of a standin?

did you read the article??? "However, due to the substitution, the Danes will already suffer a 20% cut of the Regional Major Ranking points they earn in Road to Rio, and in case they opt to swap Kjaerbye back into the roster North's points would be reduced to 64% of the original value."

2020-05-07 20:36

Yes, any roster change, permanent or temporary, reduces points by 20% per player changed.

It's pretty much bullshit, especially during a god damn pandemic.

2020-05-07 23:58

Yeah, 100% agreed. BS at its finest. Their should have been no penalty when the coachs stands in for a member of the "locked roster"

2020-05-08 01:59

+1111 the active roster should include the coach

2020-05-08 02:19

And Valve even gave coaches option to IGL during the game but when they want to be a part of the active roster they get penlized? Makes no sense. I get if they would penalize them on LAN tournament where coaches have limited responsibilities but not online.

2020-05-08 19:20

Kjaerbye snaking back to astralis?

Sad for North.

2020-05-07 20:47

I'd be sick too if I had to play for North

2020-05-07 20:48

it seems especially harsh due to the change being due to illness and not a roster change.

Also makes less sense since it's their coach and not someone outside of the organization

2020-05-07 21:13

At this rate it's not gonna matter that much anyway cause North need results to go their way if they're gonna get out of groups.

2020-05-07 21:23

6 replies

True, but there's still other potential qualifiers.

2020-05-07 21:24

Well by that point Kjaerbye will hopefully be healthy and there will be no need for standins.

2020-05-07 21:28

Then they would still be reduced in the rankings by 64%

2020-05-07 21:33

It's just for this one not the other tournaments.

2020-05-07 21:37

thankfully, they really need to adjust these rules for the next major

2020-05-07 23:45

Not true.

2020-05-09 03:51

Then turns out Astralis is doing the right thing with 7 men roster because this way if someone gets sick they don't loose points plus the guy can train with his teammates more to know their tactical play 400iq by Astralis

2020-05-07 23:36

@illness on the player's part jk Kjaerbye back to Astralis

2020-05-07 20:58

Can they not ff their remaining games and keep their points to 100%?

2020-05-07 21:04

They don't loose point its the coach

2020-05-07 21:08

going back to astralis

Lol

2020-05-07 21:09

The 64%-thing is absolutely retarded

2020-05-07 21:12

Totally unfair in case of proven illness.

2020-05-07 21:16

yeah

2020-05-07 22:43

Hope he recovers but the 20 to 64% point reduction is total bullshit. Illness is something no one can control and comes out of no where. Especially with a coach standing in, the reducetion makes no sense imo. If it was a case in perhaps teams like Astralis and Ence to swap a player in and out then that makes sense to have the reduction in points. But when someone is unable to play for injury or illness there shouldn't be a point reduction.

2020-05-07 22:47

Reduction is fair enough. Otherwise everybody would use illness for excuse

2020-05-08 04:09

smart move by ENCE to allow Jamppi to get more practice while main core play other tournaments

2020-05-07 21:43

Too unfair to take 36% of North. It is coach, he is already part of the team, I think there shall be no penalty. Otherwise, when Astralis is going to play with God-knows how many players, just take all their points away too.

2020-05-07 21:52

Kjaervid-19

2020-05-07 22:09

0.84 as player no discuised . well cursed coming for north. the karma becoz kick jugi

2020-05-07 22:13

looks like im not the only one who thought of Jamppi xd

Eu group B can be fun after last games :D Faze almost guaranteed 1st, but if mouz win both games, north win against g2 and godsen win against movistar we can have 4 teams in 3 places with 12 points :D

2020-05-07 22:51

Huuge loss for North.

2020-05-07 22:58

Thats no north at the major

2020-05-07 23:14

Kjaerbye Astralis' 8th

2020-05-07 23:16

Expected: Welcome to Astralis snakebye <3

2020-05-07 23:32

Actually this points that people lose bcs coach stand in is so bad. Its online cs, maybe someone have some internet or pc problems so he cant play so they must play with coach. Just stupid from esl

2020-05-08 01:00

2020-05-08 02:01

+1 it's retarded. They could get a good standin instead of coach and still lose same amount of points

2020-05-08 06:29

its not esl man, its VALVE, they do this to valve sponsored event only. esl not that dumb to do this kind of utter bullshit rules.

2020-05-08 23:36

Wow! So, Kjaerbye is going back to astralis

2020-05-08 01:08

Ez 4 astralis

2020-05-08 06:19

Ez 4 Jumpy 59 bombs incoming in every map

2020-05-08 09:01

Stupid, i would had played the match sick if my team would get more points for that, playing with jampii is shit. 1. He isn't as good 2. 20% -

2020-05-08 09:38

So if I happen to break my arm and I cannot play an official, the whole team is getting punished for using another member of their roster... and in this case a coach ? What the fuck is wrong with ESL ? Imagine in regular sport the whole team getting lower points because one guy is ill or broke his leg or something (happens all the time in NBA for example), this would be chaos. They have no idea what they are doing...

2020-05-08 10:01

Valve rule, not ESL

2020-05-08 10:09

Thanks for clarifying !

2020-05-08 10:40

100% win rate of north with jumpy tho. Is jumpy god o wat ?

2020-05-08 10:14

Kjaerbye has been sick of his life since he left Astralis

2020-05-08 10:44

Astralis's CEO trolled North on Twitter. Said "That's what happened when we couldn't get hold of him back in 2018. Kjaerbye to Astralis incoming?"

2020-05-08 14:32

Aizy is the only good player in this team. Shakerbye probably going to Boringstralis

2020-05-08 12:27

gade is actually pretty solid too.

2020-05-08 14:33

Aizy good player LOL hes average

2020-05-08 15:42

smart move by ENCE's sub

2020-05-08 12:58

Jamppi vac ban

2020-05-08 13:00

if astralis play 7v5 then they will have a chance against fnatic, faze and navi

2020-05-08 14:10

Imagine if FC Barcelona couldn't bring in a substitute due to an injury... Imagine if LA Lakers couldn't bring in a substitute due to an injury... Imagine if New England Patriots couldn't bring in a substitute due to an injury... This is not logical, it's just stupid. How hasn't this changed in CS:GO yet? ESL get your finger out of that bum!

2020-05-08 15:10

That is how some people pronounce jamppi xaxa

2020-05-08 18:13

lol RiP North
