XpreZ removed from EPS Scandinavia
Due to accumulating too many penalty points, XpreZ has now been removed from the ESL Pro Series Scandinavia. It started with players not having Premium which is needed for the full season, followed by not uploaded Matchmedia after their match against GamePlay and now using two stand-ins being in need of roster changes as elemeNt has retired from gaming.

Due to accumulating too many penalty points, XpreZ has now been removed from the ESL Pro Series Scandinavia. It started with players not having Premium which is needed for the full season, followed by not uploaded Matchmedia after their match against GamePlay and now using two stand-ins being in need of roster changes as elemeNt has retired from gaming.
With a total of 7 Minor Penalties and 2 Major Penalties leading to a prize money deduction of 35% XpreZ have been removed from the current Pro Series, banned for the running ESL Amateur Series and also banned for the upcoming Pro Series Season II. The cap for penalty points is 30% prize money deduction until you get removed.
The future of the team was not quite sure too after Ola 'elemeNt' Moum announced to retire again as well as Preben 'prb' Gammelsæter and Mats 'noLa' Nygren might leave the scene. The team added Tommy 'tacky' Mosgaard, Ulv Ares 'xern' Bjornsson and Thomas Holm 'quitY' Nilsen where xern and tacky have played in the ESL Pro Series even though the would have to wait for a full playday.
This change has no effect to the ranking right now as the team did not win any match so far but also all upcoming matches will be cancelled. Check out the ESL Pro Series Scandinavia Season I.

But indeed element is a great player ..
They have their rules for a Pro Series, all teams knew what those rules were. Not following them results in penalty points, continue not to follow them leads to removal. Christal clear.
one of these is that pro-players always are aware of rules of tournaments where they could participate in. this is very important. if anyone doesnt keep their rules , maybe would going out of tournament for sure.
I think we would all agree letting them add 2 players instead of forfeiting would have been better than having them try to sneak them in or whatever, considering they were allowed to play in 1 week
