Copenhagen Flames made one of the biggest cinderella runs in recent Major history during the PGL Stockholm Major, narrowly missing top 8, which cemented the team as a stable top 30 team on HLTV’s rankings. With Fredrik “roeJ” Jørgensen and Nico “nicoodoz” Tamjidi joining Fnatic and Jakob “jabbi” Nygaard joining Heroic, Copenhagen Flames have had to get back to the drawing board.
According to multiple sources close to the team, Copenhagen Flames is ready to present their main lineup. Their captain will be current Ecstatic IGL birdfromsky, who has been with the organization since late 2019. In early 2022 they rebranded from Lyngby Vikings to Ecstatic. He will be joined by ex-MAD Lions duo b0RUP and TMB and Fnatic Rising AWPer regali.
The final player will be current Sprout player raalz. The sources mention that Zyphon is a high priority target as a replacement for raalz in the Germany-based team.
According to the sources, the CPH Flames will consist of:
Thomas “birdfromsky” Due-Frederiksen
Johannes “b0RUP” Borup
Thomas “TMB” Bundsbæk
Rasmus “raalz” Steensborg
Iulian “regali” Harjău
Copenhagen Flames did not answer when I asked for a comment.
Sprout has chosen not to comment.
