Epsilon part ways with kalle

Epsilon announced they have released Norwegian player Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen.

Sweden's rising organisation, Sweden Epsilon Esports, announced that they have parted ways with their sole non-Swedish player, Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen. Before signing the latest roster, Epsilon had a successful period in their first years of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, finishing second at DreamHack Summer 2013 and reaching the quarter-finals at ESL One: Cologne 2014 with their Swedish and French-Belgian rosters notably featuring the likes of Robin "flusha" Rönnquist, Jesper "JW" Wecksell, Richard "shox" Papillon and Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom.

But after 2014, Epsilon remained rather quiet and worked with a Spanish roster that failed to achieve much internationally. In March 2016, Epsilon made the return to international Counter-Strike by signing their second Swedish roster which featured Joakim "disco_doplan" Gidetun and William "draken" Sundin. Various international achievements resulted with the loss of the mentioned players to bigger Swedish teams and therefore Epsilon's ascension was halted.

In order to sustain their international glory, Epsilon made a few roster changes, one of which was the addition of kalle. With the Norwegian player, the team went on to win the WCA 2016 Global Finals but 2017 hasn't been fortunate for them so far. Hoping to end the team's row of disappointing results, the management decided to part ways with kalle. With his departure, Epsilon's roster now consists of just three players.

Epsilon are looking for options and have three players under contract for now:

Sweden Fredrik "REZ" Sterner
Sweden Fredrik "freddieb" Buö
Sweden André "BARBARR" Möller
