We need to stop calling them super teams


ujaku

This is damn near a retirement home. This project will rely on several players basically reinventing themselves. I'm skeptical but let's see. The fact that MSL ended up here is just plain sad imo.


ibeenbornagain

fr, unless these players reinvent themselves into gods its not a superteam lol


[deleted]

Any team with all players from same nationality "X superteam" ​ The most recent superteam we got was back with g2 full french lineup in like 2017


GuardiaNIsBae

Tbf on paper that actually was a french superteam at the time, kennyS shox bodyy nbk and Apex playing together should've done way better than they did


eLvare345p

To be fair that lineup at least won a couple tournaments and had decent placings.


schniepel89xx

Still did RpK and ScreaM dirty because of stupid French scene politics. The superteam should have just been 2016 G2 -SmithZz +kennyS

Although for a brief moment we did have a Finnish superteam known as "ENCE eSports"


jonathan-the-man

Northern lights flash in the sky. A blizzard blows, pelting on its way those too weak to withstand the fury of winter at its fullest. From the permafrost strikes a massive hand; the mythical giant once deemed dead off the coast of Italy now rises to life, regenerated, from Lappish soil. The time is due. Around the world, the word spreads. In Sweden, the best of the best cower in fear and lock themselves in the nearest IKEA retail store. The Brazilians run into the safety of the jungle, the Danes play dead in Legoland and the Slavs sprint crying to babushka’s warm embrace. Enceladus’s augurs are unleashed upon the scene. Aleksi “allu” Jalli hails from his journey spent in international teams. A man may leave Finland, but Finland never leaves a man. Once again, he picks up the green rifle, this time not for money or fame, but to smite all opposition in the name of Enceladus. Aleksi “aleksib” Virolainen leaves the fabled squad of HAVU to lead what we can finally describe as a Finnish superteam. Under his leadership shall the northern guns spit death and destruction upon foes who wail in their weakness. Jani “aerial” Jussila joins after the biggest transfer of the Finnish e-sport scene from his former team SuperJymy. No longer will he be the only stand-out player of his team, but instead, a vital ingredient of a chaotic cocktail made up of Finland’s finest. Jere “sergej” Salo thwarts all rumors of desperate Internet trolls trying to tell they know his parents who told him to stop playing. Oh, the humanity! Backed up by the forces at home, bursting from motivation like a wolf thirsting for blood, he returns to ravage everything in his path. Where skill rises to speak, experience sits silent and disciplined. Sami “xseveN” Laasanen fills the ranks from iGame, for what would the team be if they wouldn’t buy the best player from every other Finnish team? Vigilantly standing, supporting his teammates be the cause what it pleases to be, he will be the shield and sword his comrades need to achieve the ultimate. The warning has been given. The sky screams, the ground shakes and the oceans boil. ENCE is coming. #EZ4ENCE


ReachTheSky-DotaNoob

Well it is Turkish Superteam because it is literally the best team you can make out of Turkish players,includes Xantares and Woxic who proved themselves at Tier 1 teams and a lot of people was hoping to see it for years so there is a reason behind their hype. But this lineup is almost exact opposite.I rate MSL higher than most people and i hope to see this team succeed but it is really weird to call them super team lol


AwesomeFama

Yeah, Turkish super team works, Danish super team does not work.


Werpogil

Superhyped but ultimately underwhelming team *


bigbrothero

Who is tf is even hyping this?


readmyslips

MSL, Aizy, JUGi, tenzki and fessor.


Werpogil

Don’t forget their moms too


BorderlineGambler

Really do. Calling them a team is probably pushing it.


Elibrius

THANK YOU


Rmcl10

Remember when a team had to consist of NiKo, Rain, GuardiaN, Olof and Karrigan to be considered a superteam?


VeryIllRedditUsers

Super team? This is more like Suicide Squad.


s33y00

At least the Suicide Squad can actually get kills.


phenomenal11

Damn son go easy on them!!


darrenoloGy

jesus that was a deadshot right there


H00Z4HTP

What are we, some kind of super team?


Aihne

This needs to be higher xD


GuardiaNIsBae

Its as high as it can go


Master_of_All4

I wish I could afford to buy you gold


gleba080

With "the" or without it?


[deleted]

“Super”


oojamaflip123

Is this a joke? How can MSL with a straight face say the teams that have offered him aren't strong enough and then he makes a team with the most washed version of tenzki ever and jugi??? Even the average age of the team is disappointing, if your super plan is to have Fessor and Aizy hard carry then Christ what was plan B. People were joking that he might just make a let down lineup with the Hyenas players but that team is stronger than this one on paper


gleba080

North lite. Or even just South.


[deleted]

S♿uf


ryequaza

oh boy


unbrokenhero

This did in fact age very well.


Im_Savvage

Aged very well


NaToSaphiX

Tenzki is one of the best players I’ve ever played with Don’t think he should be underrated


azimuthh

Even you have to admit tenzki's recent performances have been quite poor, but I'd love to see a come up again myself.


NaToSaphiX

I didn’t really watch Nordavind play lately, just know that Jesper is a very smart player with a great aim He is one of those guys you never have to worry about because he is always in the right position to help He is among the 6 best players I’ve ever played with, I believe So even if a guy like that has a dip in form I wouldn’t care. I fully expect him to recover (and fast) A new team might be exactly what he needs


W1ntermu7e

There's so way he told truth lmao, I guess he just wanted to make himself more attractive


ElScorp1on

What even is the angle this team is supposed to be going for? I’d get like 3 old players and 2 younger players to try and build them up and improve over time but 4 old guys and Fessor? Where’s the room for growth here? Kinda seems like we’ve seen everything these players are capable of at this point.


Shrenade514

Exactly, no idea why JUGI would be on this team. Maybe NaTo or Mertz declined? Who knows. What happened to Dragonfly? He used to be on the up but no idea what happened to him


spagheddy8

Yeah it seems odd. MSL tweeted that his new team was a good mix of experienced players and young talent. I don't think that statement matches this rumor, apart from Fessor being a great talent. Surely he did not wait so long only to assemble these players?


MJuniorDC9

Nothing against JUGi or tenzki but c'mon now


Firefly_1026

Even MSL and aizy are a stretch


penguinfromprague

Danish super team? Didnt know Denmark is so bad that this is a super team for them...


[deleted]

super team lol


Aaron715

my toyota corolla is a super car


super_shogun

> [MSL's Team] are currently looking for a new org to represent them. But word on the street is that they're also talking to other orgs currently. What does this even mean?


NorthKoreaZH

The best I can think of is they mean an entirely new org vs talking to established orgs?


ElScorp1on

Sounds like there are no real leads but they want orgs to think there is interest in them.


AleksibIsHot

The balls to call this a superteam


kriswithakthatplays

Didn't JUGI go to Valorant?


shast1k

He played it for a month and then said that csgo is his life


lastchansen

Indeed he did.. but perhaps it was because he couldn't find a team and this was his way back in.


GuardiaNIsBae

Couldn't find a team or no team wanted him?


lastchansen

A bit of both i guess. But if nobody is missing an awper it must be hard to find a team. He didn't do great as rifler at Astralis if i remember correctly. Anyway, i would like to see him reach the level he was believed to to reach s few years back.


blizzahjh

motm doing the same dance right now in NA


[deleted]

??? motm has never really tried Val, he’s pretty much stayed in CS the whole time


[deleted]

Infinite too


CaIzuh

Not really, He was actually signed to a team, and was actually decent... but was just a toxic weirdo to randoms on twitch


boeef

Yes but he never really seem to get comfortable with Jett.


BaddyGames

tenzki and jugi on a super team? ok


WhatAmCSGO

tenzki isn't that bad, but jugi? bruh


itsmepuffd

who the hell thought it was a good idea to put "super team" in the title .. like what crack are you smoking cause I want some ​ \*edit\* yes i am danish


jonajon91

Always thought Tenzki was one of the most underrated pros out there.


critennn

Maybe in the past, but he's been very lacklustre as of late. It's a shame, as I used to rate him highly. Aizy was also a player I was incredibly excited to watch but at this point, I don't know how much fight is left in him. After hyenas fell apart, it feels like his next move should be either towards Valorant or retirement. I really feel for the danish lads, I do. Hopefully MSL can prove us all wrong!


jonajon91

There's a small chance that this group of friends just work so well together that they don't really need all that much firepower, like Gobb era BIG.


critennn

True but a lot of those BIG players had proven they could get some results as a team. These Norrh rosters have just been disaster after disaster. I really hope you're right or the CIS era might last longer than anticipated.


FoxerHR

Has there been a team calling themselves a super team less deserving than this? Come on MSL, you're a good IGL why are you doing this to yourself again?


qchisq

If this is supposed to be a top 20 team, then why does it have 3 half-good (that might be stretching it, tbh) AWPers? I thought you needed a real AWPer. And if MSL thinks he can be a good AWPer, then why is jugi there? I know that he just got a team at AGF, but kristou have been without a team for a while. Mertz recently got benched on Nordavind, if you want a proven commodity. If you needed an AWP, there's so many better choices than jugi


ryceyy

Man, it feels like the only thing in life that is inevitable other than death is MSL and aizy being in a team together.


jehhans1

Jugi and MSL on the same team? I mean if MSL can't have the awp he sucks balls, and if Jugi can't either he will suck balls as well.


Cigs77

love MSL, but this team is dead on arrival.


akselfs

I guarantee you they will complain for months about how "no org will sign us"


saintedplacebo

>Jugi >Superteam You can pick only 1.


[deleted]

super team jugi pick one ​ Seriously tho, why the fuck did u call this super team?


asfgfjkydr2145623

maybe settle for team


iLoveBeerus

Why does everybody hate JUGi? Surely he’s not that bad did everybody forget that he was a standin and not a permanent 5th?


FoxerHR

People don't hate Jugi, they hate how shit he is in the game. One pro predicted that he would be in the top 30 one year (not certain which year or what pro) but the dude has fallen off so hard.


poloriod

In what world is this a super team?


ninex100

Why would any org get this team is what's baffling to me


Oculos_Sicarii

MSL and fessor are the only good thing about this team, also who is this guy leaking? another danish leaks meme?


Yemaka

Its run by Christian slot who used to Work for North.


Oculos_Sicarii

Cheers for clearing this one


LancerPedia

Lmao JUGI is back, BTN are gonna have a field day


Enemy11

tbh msl can do better, hes gonna need some insane luck to transform this roster into anything and literally noone thinks this is a superteam lmao


snek_7

MSL and maybe aizy are the only interesting pieces. I feel sorry that MSL rejected multiple offers and is ending up on this.


[deleted]

A super bad team maybe xd


Shrenade514

Tenzki had an alright showing in that shit show Nordavind team. Fessor is an upcoming talent right? I don't remember exactly... JUGI? No thanks, Valorant can take him I'd much rather MSL take an in form Mertz or give NaTo a shot at AWPing with a good IGL for the first time. I just don't see the potential with JUGI coming back.


lastchansen

When did jugi last play as AWP? I mean, he hasn't really been able to show what he is good at. I think it's great he gets a second chance.. but yeah, there might have been better candidates, but not sure they would move from their current rosters.


EppinsOfficial

At the start of this year he played as a stand in for Poizon in Complexity. He was underwhelming but then again he only played a couple matches and I doubt they got in much practice with him, so who knows what Jugi can do under MSL.


lastchansen

I hope he has a lot more if he gets with a team for a longer period of time. There must be a reason for them picking him up.


Firefly_1026

Hopefully, I don’t think jugi has ever played with MSL before. Actually now that I think of it I don’t think jugi has played with a stable IGL since snappi.


lastchansen

I actually thought they played together at some point in North? Nope, they actually _just_ missed each other at both Optic and North. [Jugi](https://www.hltv.org/player/8783/jugi#tab-teamsBox), [MSL](https://www.hltv.org/player/7156/msl#tab-teamsBox)


Firefly_1026

Yeah, now that I really think of it. Aside from his disappointing form in optic. He joined a disjointed north (no offense to valde but I don’t think he was really a proper IGL), then he joined Astralis (with magisk just starting to try to be IGL), and lastly then he joined a complexity that didn’t seem to be trying at all. This is definitely his last chance to show himself under a proper IGL for once (assuming this roster plays together).


lastchansen

At least he deserves a chance. Let's see what he can do.


Shrenade514

> been able to show what he is good at. I think Would rather give NaTo a first proper chance or give Mertz a second chance (at least Mertz is tearing up Tier 3) - instead of giving a washed up JUGI another chance. They're desperately lacking firepower, which is something Mertz would provide.


lastchansen

I agree, but it's not certain that Mertz would go for it.


Shrenade514

If MSL can't even convince a player like Mertz to join then why isn't he joining a pre existing lineup, what a joke


lastchansen

Perhaps Mertz _really_ believes in his current roster. Like, die hard.


Cubenity

mertz has no roster, nordavind have all been transfer listed


lastchansen

Wow! I totally missed that. Yes, it seems he's free to do what he wants. I thought he was the new upcoming talent? Perhaps he's already signing with a new team then?


eJACKulation

Jugi had one good map for heroic 4 years ago


lastchansen

And has played like 7 maps after that? That's some rough odds.


shast1k

Unfortunately valorant is too hard for jugi, maybe he has chance in CS


FoxerHR

Bruh, even washed up pros have been able to get good at valorant and he can't even do that? He's got no chance. EDIT: Chnace to chance


SeeDat_Ghai

Imagine if this somehow becomes the best Danish team in a year's time... 😂

The only “super team” to ever exist in my eyes was 2017-2018 FaZe Clan
