After a month that has seen multiple top teams get picked up by various big name MGOs. It is not all roses and love songs as NORDIC-eSports have parted ways with their Team Fortress 2 team of Israeli allstars.
What both sides are calling a ‘lack of communication’ which is a shame as it sounds like there were no major disagreements or issues just a lack of contact and perhaps effort. However on the bright side the team seem unaffected by the loss of their MGO getting on with their games in Division 1 of ETF2L after kicking off their campaign with a close loss to idk?. They look like a team that could really go places with some impressive performances with quite a few players who are new to the big time.
There has also been a recent unrelated roster change with Khaoz leaving which led to the undeniably loveable fadestep going full time from his backup position. I’m yet to see how this line-up shuffle will affect their style and performances but on paper they will lose Khaoz’s pure fragging power and aggressive high damage, high risk gameplay but they gain a more subtle scout with bags of ability and he can only improve with the experience he is going to gain from playing in Division 1. Good luck to both parties.
A statement from NORDIC-eSports website:
From today’s date NORDIC-eSports management have chosen to part their ways with their current Team Fortress 2 team. After having them under our organization for several months, we’ve come to the conclusion that we don’t have enough communication and gain from the team. The team couldn’t live up to the expectations, and didn’t show any kind of interest in our partnership. On behalf of NORDIC-eSport, we’d like to thank the team for a good time, and wish you the best in the future.
A statement from Niv "Nivzeh" Eini:
Basically the mgo manager said we are not communicating with the multi and he wanted us to improve on it, so I went in to the private pentia channel but they only talked Dannish I belive, so couldn't communicate but no excuses. After some weeks he decided that he had enough and we parted ways in a good spirit, and we are back trying to find a decent multi again! :D
The as yet unnamed team are:
Dean 'techtron' Lev
Dan 'Spary' Michaeli
Matan 'matnuN' Romanov
Niv 'Nivzeh' Eini
Daniel 'daniel' Davidovich
Zur 'fadestep' Ulianizky
Nati 'Sentor' Sadeh
