ArcadioN forms We Need $

ImageEx-mTw in-game leader ArcadioN has formed We Need $. Its lineup is the same as the zeDanes team which won the BEAT IT qualifier, but with suraNga instead of FaagaN.

Ex-DK mTw in-game leader DK Timm 'ArcadioN' Henriksen is amongst the lineup of the newly formed Danish team DK We Need $ . The team's name represents the fact they are seeking an organisation with funding to send them to events.

The lineup is essentially the same as the one which qualified for BEAT IT under the name DK zeDanes, but now features DK Morten 'suraNga' Jensen instead of DK Rasmus 'FaagaN' Møller Thomsen.



ArcadioN was interviewed (in Danish) about the new team by XplayN.

On playing with his brother wazorN:

"Jack (ed. wazorN) and I've almost always played together and it also means that we know each other really well, and that roles are largely in place. He's really good to supplement during the fighting, and while many casual gamers may have trouble seeing his influence when watching HLTV, I think most people have played with Jack knows he contributes a teamwise and thus making the others on the team better."


Seeking an organisation:

"We are obviously looking for an organization and would sit there any interested people out there, then they should feel free to contact us."


ArcadioN, wazorN and suraNga were all members of the Full Gaming lineup which beat mTw at the Danish 2010 WCG qualifier, DSRACK #3 and KGC #2. The team also won DSRACK#3 and finished 2nd at KGC #2. They also infamously flopped in the group stage of WCG 2010, losing to MK ENTiTY and ES B4G. ArcadioN has a long history of upsetting the top Danish team. In 2008 his ATS.dk team beat out mTw to win SLAP and in 2010 his Cheap Times lineup, which also featured suraNga, took them down to win the Danish Masterscup.

Despite playing with the likes of zonic and trace during his career it wasn't until Arbalet Cup Europe 2009 that ArcadioN got a shot in mTw, as he stood-in for their 2nd place finish. He stood-in again at the IEM IV European Finals, where the team disasterously failed to progress from the group stage. When Sunde was removed prior to Dreamhack Winter ArcadioN was brought in as the in-game leader, moving ave to a backup rifle position.

During his tenure as mTw leader ArcadioN placed 2nd at Dreamhack Winter 2010, 2nd at the IEM V European Championship Finals, 3rd at the IEM V World Championship Finals, 2nd at Xperia PLAY, 2nd at Dreamhack Summer 2011, 4th at e-Stars Seoul and 3rd at IEM VI New York.

wazorN, zecer, b1ng0 and ArcadioN all played together in p00nhandlers in early 2010. ArcadioN, wazorN and b1ng0 also played together in Gamehotel and SoA. Without the other two ArcadioN's SoA placed 5th-6th at the IEM II Finals, beating out fnatic to progress from the group stage. b1ng0 also played with ArcadioN in Improved Gaming in 2007.

wazorN played with Sunde in Mirror. Later, in 2009, wazorN's Mirror placed 5th-6th at the IEM III European Finals.
