[VOD] North's Head of Esports operations messioso joins HLTV Confirmed to discuss changes and future

30/11/2020 - 19:56

Why are North cutting ties with their longest-standing players and how come they missed out on Danish talent are going to be the main topics of HLTV Confirmed with Graham "messioso" Pitt, live on Twitch at 20:00

The esports veteran that took over the position of North's Head of Esports operations in November of 2019 joins HLTV Confirmed after news that his team benched Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen and Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup.

aizy was the team's longest-standing member, while MSL, the in-game leader, was removed in 2018 only to return at the start of this year. The latest addition of Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson didn't change the team's direction, with a big shift expected for 2021 as North are set to test out Rasmus "⁠kreaz⁠" Johansson and Kristoffer "⁠Kristou⁠" Aamand.

messioso has worked with ESL, BLAST, and GODSENT in the past

With the panel of Chad "⁠SPUNJ⁠" Burchill, Milan "⁠Striker⁠" Švejda, and Zvonimir "Professeur" Burazin asking the questions, the show will aim to peek behind the curtain of an esports organization and see why North are lagging behind other teams in Denmark.
