Mirror kick Friis after EM3

Today the team of Mirror have announced changes after the ESL Extreme Masters III Continental Finals Europe with removing Michael "Friis" Jørgensen. The main reason behind this is the bad communication during matches.

This leaves Mirror with only four active players once again after Timm 'ArcadioN' Henriksen left shortly ago. According to their manager Marc "MarcK" Kjærsgaard they are currently looking for a replacement and will announce as soon as they found a new fifth. This makes it look like a more hasty decision not having a replacement ready soon.

Check the full statement below:

"It has been a very hard decision for the team, myself and the whole organization, mainly because Michael is obviously a very skilled player -and a good friend of everyone on the team. Nevertheless, the decision was made in consent of the whole team and organization. The main reason that Michael will no longer represent XLBet.Mirror, is that communication between him and the rest of the team, has not been as good as it could have over the recent period. These communication difficulties may have, and have had an impact in the matches against the best teams in the world. Therefore we have to draw consequences of this, and sadly parts ways with Michael.

Although we are sad, we feel that this decision is necessary, for the team to move even closer to the world elite.
At last i would like to thank Michael for everything he has done for the team, this kind of commitment is rarely seen. Good luck in the future mate!

We are ofcourse on the lookout for a replacement, and will come with an official statement as soon as the right person is found.

Marc "MarcK" Kjærsgaard"
