Copenhagen Flames has decided to remove Marcus “maNkz” Kjeldsen from their active roster, the Danish team has announced on Tuesday. The decision comes after the Danes recently have reached “new lows in our performance”. The 23-year-old rifler has been a part of the team since the start of January this year, where maNkz has presented the following stats: 0.97 Rating / 67.9 ADR / -254 K/D Ratio.
We have failed to reach our potential on and off the server and have decided that a change is needed. Sadly, starting today, @mankzCS is benched from our CS:GO roster. @dvorborg gives an update on the roster and our way forward: https://t.co/dTjCt7JsYb pic.twitter.com/PAFfBDtZjr

– It’s with a heavy heart we’ve made the decision to place Marcus on the bench. I truly do believe that Marcus can become a top tier player but it was hard for him to evolve in that direction in the system we had.
We have had an incredibly tough time, underperforming the past 7 weeks or so, but especially hitting new lows in our performance the past week. However; we are under no illusion that Marcus was the sole cause of this performance and we will need to do a lot of things differently moving forward.
As of right now, we do not have a replacement ready but are working on identifying the right fit for us. We will update everyone as soon as we can.
– Director of Esports at Copenhagen Flames, Daniel Vorborg explains.
