Tricked eSports has revealed that Johannes "b0RUP" Borup will be joining their CS:GO lineup as its final member.
The Danish organisation has been on the hunt for a fifth player since late October, when their star player Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen was signed by Heroic, leaving Tricked with a one player deficit. A new player has now been found however, following the team's announcement today that they have officially signed Johannes "b0RUP" Borup. Read Tricked CEO Morten "Phy" Jensen's statement on the matter below:
“
Today we complete our lineup after the transfer of Niko. It's not any surprise that this transfer was not a part of our original plans for the team. We have to adapt to the situation and respect our players' wishes, even if it means a setback for us. I think we have chosen the next big player in Denmark, just as we normally do.We have great faith in Borup's abilities and that is why I only think this is a minor setback for us. The team will have some training period to work in the new positions and teamwork, but I think we will reach our old level and form again. Tricked will give the team time to adapt, but our goals are the same as before. We wanted to see how the chemistry was in victory and defeat before we completed the deal with Borup and so far, we are very happy. The next 3 months well be hard work reestablishing ourselves a top team in Denmark and the next contender for minor/majors spots.”
With their latest signing, Tricked's roster consists of:
Johannes "b0RUP" Borup
Nicolai "HUNDEN" Petersen
Jakob "JUGi" Hansen
Lasse "maeVe" Elgaard
Patrick "es3tag" Hansen
