Copenhagen Flames have found a new shining star
Will the Danes have trouble keeping Iulian "regali" Harjău away from bigger teams in the future?
Earlier this year Copenhagen Flames were forced to enter a massive rebuilding phase after selling their successful roster that rose to fame at the PGL Major in Stockholm. Once again, they decided to go with a fully Danish-speaking squad – led by the experienced in-game leader Thomas “birdfromsky” Due Frederiksen.
Two months after the new roster was formed it stands quite clear who the star player is going to be: Iulian "regali" Harjău.
The 20-year-old AWPer have by far been the standout player for CPH Flames having presented a stellar level since joining the Danish organization. With a 1.27 Rating / 1.40 K-D ratio, regali has highlighted himself as a super strong and impactful player, despite his modest age and experience.
