Copenhagen Flames complete roster with roeJ, HooXi, Zyphon

18/5/2021 - 16:42

The Danish organization sees two former players return to the fold.

Copenhagen Flames has announced the finalization of their roster rebuild, parting ways with Magnus "⁠Nodios⁠" Olsen and signing a trio of players, leaving them with just two members which represented the team a month ago.

After the departures of Marcus "⁠maNkz⁠" Kjeldsen and Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen, Copenhagen Flames reached out to MAD Lions' benched duo Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen and Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen, bringing them back to the team they represented between 2018 and 2020. Additionally, the team signed former Astralis Talent member Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss, who slotted into the team instead of Nodios.

Former Tricked and MAD Lions player returns to Copenhagen Flames

"I've worked with HooXi before and have always appreciated him as a player and leader," Copenhagen Flames Head of Esports Daniel Vorborg explained in a roster update. "Luckily for us; HooXi has also enjoyed working with us in the past and it was quickly evident that both parties wanted to make this work."

roeJ is added as a veteran player that will "guide and lead a lot of the young talent we’d have on the team", while Vorborg describes 17-year-old Zyphon as "one of the most gifted individual players either of us has seen in a long time". The youngster left Astralis Talent in April after being their best performer with a 1.15 rating across 23 maps played.

The roster changes will see Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard take on more anchor positions on the CT side and lurking roles on the T side, it is explained, something Nodios didn't feel comfortable doing - deciding to step down from the team instead. Finally, keeping his spot on the squad is 20-year-old AWPer Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi.

"I really want to thank Marcus "mankz" Kjeldsen, Asger "AcilioN"Larsen, and Magnus "Nodios" Olsen, who are all moving on to new lineups now. I truly do believe that they are great players and certainly good enough to be representing Copenhagen Flames. However, the circumstances did not allow it this time around. I had talks and discussions with all the players throughout the process, and they were extremely professional in their handling of some very tough situations," Vorborg concluded.

Copenhagen Flames are now:

Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi
Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard
Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen
Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen
Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss

Magnus "⁠Nodios⁠" Olsen (transfer list)
Asger "⁠AcilioN⁠" Larsen (transfer list)

Daniel "⁠djL⁠" Narancic (coach)

exactly

It always went from Hunden to Acilion to Hooxi

2021-05-18 16:59

wasnt it from hunden to friiis to acilion to hooxi? XDD

2021-05-18 17:10

Nah, Friis was never IGL. But there has been igl's like Haste and Berry in the equation as well haha

2021-05-18 17:38

Snappi?

2021-05-18 21:36

Snappi as well yes. Back with niko, B0rup and Jugi. Got stolen from Hunden, who took them from Haste.

2021-05-18 22:01

Acilion left himself..... Duo to not finding a good 5.

2021-05-18 19:17

Thats the official statement. But in a podcast that came out two weeks ago Roej said he would rather play with Hooxi than AcilioN, due to Hooxi being a better midround caller. Also he praised Zyphon as the biggest talent in Denmark. Coincidence?

2021-05-18 22:07

LOL facts

2021-05-18 16:45

Nice move.

expected

damn actually a great move

Why jabbi and not nodios? jabbi plays pretty bad and nodios was almost their best player

maybe read the article before looking at the stats and making assumptions? fucking hell

2021-05-18 17:06

Weren't these guys making a team with Kristou and CajunB? This is a better squad for them after all though. Roej and Zyphon are pretty good.

cajunb is technically on Hyenas now

Didn't they just use his name to get FP spot and replaced him with Fessor? Cajun was playing another official game with AGF iirc while Hyenas were playing FPX.

2021-05-18 17:17

Zyphon Pog

lets gooo shouldve kept nodios tho

replace jabbi and this team is decent

seems like a nice team, good luck!

is Jabbi rain’s brother?

2021-05-18 16:49

yaaaaaaay, go kiddo!!!

Gl with Zyphon. That Toxic baiter

wtf, is he toxic?

Yup, i've played on the same team as him, and he is extremely toxic, and very arrogant. He also baits soooo much

sad

2021-05-18 17:13

Not bad tbh.

2021-05-18 16:52

actually looks kind of good, good luck both HooXi and roej are half decent, and i've heard excellent things about nicodoz

2021-05-18 16:53

roej deserve for better team

2021-05-18 16:54

2021-05-18 19:48

Zyphon LETS GOOOO

Called it

Good team, GL 👍 Jabbi, Nicoodoz

2021-05-18 16:56

Why nodios? their best player

literally just read the article

no time bradda

2021-05-18 18:24

Zyphon traitor

Why nodios!! He looked promising lately

Just read the article

2021-05-18 17:35

Great, hyped for the team!

2021-05-18 17:08

2021-05-18 17:11

Copenhagen flames with the 300iq play of selling players to MAD Lions and then getting then back for free/cheap.

wtf is that music?

2021-05-18 17:14

I really hope they can deal with zyphon's attitude problems. If they can it will be a good team for sure

2021-05-18 17:15

I would have attitude issues as well if I had a 1.3 rating and the rest of my team averaged a .9-.95

2021-05-18 18:41

actually good team, gl

solid roster

2021-05-18 17:20

Good for zyphon and co. ! Gl guys

2021-05-18 17:23

Good picks after all

Having nodios leave he was the best player? And hooxi joins ML after acillion left and now after acillion leaves CPF hooxi joins

2021-05-18 17:40

Looks good.

2021-05-18 17:44

2021-05-18 17:45

Nodios gone? He was the best in the team! And how TF can Jabbi still be in the team with these amount of changes? Haha 😅😅😅

2021-05-18 17:49

who knows. doesn't look good for cph

2021-05-19 01:58

jabbi is doing well in 2021 and he is still very young

2021-05-19 16:28

Well? Have u seen recent months? :o

2021-05-19 17:07

yes

2021-05-19 17:40

Why is everyone lying on internet?

2021-05-19 19:35

Actually good

2021-05-18 17:58

Save AcilioN pls, he is chad using hltv

2021-05-18 18:01

2021-05-18 18:08

Zyphon is by far the best player on that team... And i am afraid he is wasting potential :(

2021-05-18 18:15

Look at where the past best CPH players ended up. Teses and refrezh to Heroic, Farlig to FPX, TMB to ML, Mertz tearing it up in NVD. Being the star player on CPH is the best place to be for an up and coming player

2021-05-18 18:56

+1, Cph flame is the best cannon for upcoming talent in Danes scene

2021-05-19 08:38

if HooXi can push his individual level to not be a liability while IGLing, this could be a pretty good team tbh

Wtf kicking Best Player Nodios lol

2021-05-18 18:37

"It is explained, something Nodios didn't feel comfortable doing - deciding to step down from the team instead."

2021-05-18 18:54

Okay

2021-05-18 19:16

GO ZYPHON!

2021-05-18 18:43

2021-05-18 18:45

Once again proving CPH have the best management in cs. Its insane the amount of talent they produce and sell to top teams and still compete.

2021-05-18 20:35

good luck

2021-05-18 19:45

should've kept acilion instead of hooxi and you got a good team

2021-05-18 20:00

Nice, I am so glad that Zyphon gets a proper team and not "just" an academy team. I look forward to see what this team can do.

2021-05-18 20:26

Oh this is real good I swear Zyphon is a machine, roej aswell and hooxi is just good

2021-05-18 21:30

Kinda would like to see roej in a higher ranked team

2021-05-19 01:57

gl gl

2021-05-19 05:41

Nice Danish Team, top 25 potential if nicoodoz shown up and roeJ being a solid rifler

2021-05-19 08:36

I think Zyphon made a weird decision. He is still very unexperienced, left the best organisation in the world that would develop him the best imo. Astralis talents have/had some prospering players like void or Zyphon of course and imo Astralis Talents with him could be better in one year than this mix of rejects+toxic roeJ.

2021-05-19 16:22

Interesting

2021-05-19 18:45

zyPHOON phoon is back?
