HYENAS bring in cajunb to attend Flashpoint 3

5/5/2021 - 21:00

The 31-year-old, who is currently without a team, is part of the lineup submitted for the RMR event.

North's spot in Flashpoint 3 has been claimed by HYENAS, who have submitted a roster with René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg to meet the eligibility rules requiring teams to have 3/5 of the lineup that competed in DreamHack Open Fall, the last Regional Major Ranking (RMR) tournament of 2020 in Europe, HLTV.org has confirmed.

Despite cajunb's presence on the roster, it is unlikely that the 31-year-old will play in the RMR tournament as HYENAS are allowed to bring in the player that has been registered as their substitute, Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen, though they will incur a point penalty if they do so.

HYENAS to compete in Flashpoint 3 after bringing in cajunb

The HYENAS roster was created in late March, just weeks after North announced its closure due to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup's North contract came to an end last week, leaving Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye (FaZe), Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup (Heroic) and Fessor (BLUEJAYS) as the only players who are tied to organisations.

North obtained a spot in Flashpoint 3 after finishing in 11th place in the 2020 European RMR standings, starting the new year with 100 points following Valve's decision to reset every team's points. The lineup that competed in DreamHack Open Fall featured the HYENAS duo of Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade and aizy, plus cajunb, Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen and Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson.

HYENAS remain on the lookout for an organisation to represent in Flashpoint 3 and beyond. They have so far competed in just one tournament, the second European open qualifier for IEM Summer, in which they went out in the Round of 32 following a defeat to MAD Lions.

The Danish team will take on FunPlus Phoenix in the first round of Flashpoint 3, with their next match in the double-elimination bracket pitting them against the new-look Ninjas in Pyjamas or Anonymo.

HYENAS' roster for Flashpoint 3 looks as follows:

Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade
Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye
Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup
Johannes "⁠b0RUP⁠" Borup
René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg
Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen (substitute)

2021-05-06 23:05

wow

Team looks decent, but it's got that North bloodline so it may suck really bad. We'll see.

2021-05-05 21:01

They got the hyenas name instead of ex-norph so should be good)))

They should be good until some sucker org sign them and they will start to suck again.

2021-05-06 06:56

They’re just names at this point Kjaerbye and aizy Are washed up as fuck and Gade is no star player either I‘m sorry for Borup

2021-05-05 21:06

fessorGOD Will carry

Why tf is fessor a sub???

2021-05-05 22:20

because they have to be atleast three guys from the north squad that played dreamhack open fall (rmr) tournament just like this flashpoint is, and because Lekr0 is now playing with dignitas, the choice was between cajunb and MSL. but as #22 is saying cajunb is probably not going to play a single match its just because he has to be in the line up :)

2021-05-05 22:29

Ohhh, I see. Thanks for explaining

2021-05-05 22:30

2021-05-06 00:26

tbh aizy was kinda the most consistently decent player on that North roster. Kjaerbye on the other hand...

2021-05-06 03:28

The GOAT bloodline?

2021-05-05 22:37

Nah that's coldzera

2021-05-05 23:15

Who is awping?

2021-05-05 21:02

aizy

2021-05-05 21:11

Washed up -team

this is a little confusing to me , so they are bringing in CajunB to satisfy the 3/5 need but they are already replacing him with Fessor in the start and getting a penalty for that ? is that possible without CajunB playing a single game ?

2021-05-05 21:03

Yes it’s possible but they will lose a part of their RMR points

thank you Mr.Jerman.

Yes, Valve now allows teams to add a substitute player, so in theory cajunb may not even get to play a single match.

2021-05-05 21:05

hmm feels weird , i thought the 3rd guy would at least need to play one game before getting replaced for whatever reason. This basically feels like Hyenas throwing in and using Cajun`s name to get the spot and then not actually playing with a 3/5 core , at least not since the start. Anyway thank you.

2021-05-05 21:17

Exactly what they're doing

2021-05-06 08:21

feels scammy , all i am saying because technically , there is no 3/5 core playing

2021-05-06 08:23

yeah they're exploiting the rules

2021-05-06 08:43

yes sir

2021-05-06 08:44

thank you Mr.HLTV

2021-05-05 21:58

Was this just you saying that in theory it's possible or did you have a source who suggested they would do this? Just interested :)

2021-05-05 22:33

EZ last place if we don't take Fnatic into consideration

May be they will win fpx, but it's max for ex-north

2021-05-06 07:33

Called it

washed up bots who cars

Flair checks out

smart so fessor plays

"ex-North" is all I need to hear to know how good this team will be

nice

not a bad roster on paper

2021-05-05 21:08

but in practice they're terrible

2021-05-06 09:04

-fessor +cajunb best move

100% Agree!

2021-05-05 21:13

team of rejects, sad. but still gonna be decent t3 team

What a ragtag bunch! Cant wait to see it in action

2021-05-05 21:14

2021-05-05 21:18

Team of washed up

2021-05-05 21:22

thats actually a nice lineup

Could be good

They will win Flashpoint easily tbh

Wasted spot imo

2021-05-05 21:36

team washed up

2021-05-05 21:39

Imba squad

2021-05-05 21:43

Team: not good enough to be on Astralis/Heroic

2021-05-05 21:45

Kjaerbye still playing cs? lol

2021-05-05 21:53

major mvp be shakin like dat

2021-05-06 00:40

I thought he was going to Astralis omegalul

2021-05-05 21:55

can someone tell me whats the point of this? they are just the same line up as failure north was. some countries just keep forming same lineups with 0 success and at this point just paycheck stealers.

It is what it is. They should go international, but the Danish scene might just be xenophobic))) XAXAXA

they dont have an org so not really paycheck stealers.

2021-05-05 22:00

Unlucky for HYENAS that they will have to play with cajunb, honestly I thought he ended his career already, seems like I was mistaken, is he still going to compete?

They will not play with Cajunb

2021-05-05 23:01

Really? Then how does it work? They will put him as coach or what?

2021-05-07 13:21

They just have registered minimum 3 former North players and just before the game they can replace cajunb out for Fessor (Hyenas will get a point punishment)

2021-05-07 13:52

Oh ok, that's weird that they actually can do something like this, but ok.
