MYM remove moddii, confirm ESL replacement

ImageMeet Your Makers Sweden have removed moddii from their team and announced they will be using wazorN as their replacement for upcoming events.



DreamHack Winter champions Meet Your Makers swe have announced the removal of Andreas 'moddii' Fridh from their lineup. The news post cites unprofessional conduct as the reason behind the move. The team also took the opportunity to confirm their replacement for the upcoming playoff for the last IEM European Championship Finals spot. It will be Danish player Jack 'wazorN' Henriksen, who previously played for Spirit of Amiga .

Talking about moddii's removal pita said:

"Well he was a great player, but we couldn't play with him. He is very talented but has a bad temper so sometimes when we were loosing he just wined and made us weaker as a team."


While captain Jumpy explained:

"I'm sorry that it came to this becuse moddii is a great talent, maybe one of the best aimers out there at the moment, but this is a team game and it wont work with a person that whines and lower the team spirit. I wish moddii best of luck in the future and thank him for his time with us."


MYM's lineup:
Marcus 'Delpan' Larsson
Jimmy 'Jumpy' Berndtsson
Faruk 'pita' Pita
Marcus 'zet' Sundström
Jack 'wazorN' Henriksen (stand-in)

MYM's success seemingly came out of nowhere as with the addition of zet they went from being a team who would likely have not been ranked top 3 within Sweden to placing second at IEM IV Dubai, beating the likes of fnatic and Vitriolic (now AGAiN) at that event. They followed up on that success with an impressive victory at DreamHack Winter which saw them overcome an mTw.int who seemed practically destined to win based on the high level they were playing at.

Those successes have now been countered by some hard times as MYM crashed out of Arbalet Cup Europe with straight losses to AGAiN and mTw.int. At WEM the team failed to win any of their group games and then upon returning home won the match they thought would put them through to the IEM European Finals only to find out a defuse bug they exploited was against the rules. That brought about a rematch against Ravens and the subsequent loss put the Swedes in the situation they find themselves in now. They will now attempt to take the final spot for those finals via the last chance mini-tournament.
