What initially was agreed as a temporary deal between Endpoint and Frederik “Fessor” Sørensen has now been permanented with the 22-year-old rifler signing a contract with the British organization.

Fessor, who already has played five matches for Endpoint, is set to fill out the big shoes of Guy “NertZ” Iluz after the Israelian decided to join ENCE earlier this month.

In a [link:{"url":"https://endpoint.gg/posts/welcome-fessor","isNewTab":true,"text":"statement "}][link:{"url":"https://endpoint.gg/posts/welcome-fessor","isNewTab":true}]to Endpoint along with the announcement, Fessor explains that he’s eager to lift some titles with the MiGHTYMAX and company.

- I am really excited to join Endpoint and that they gave me a chance to prove myself as a player even more. I've been fully focused after I got benched in Monte, so I am ready to win some trophies and grind my ass off with the team. I am also happy to work with Rejin, because he is just on the server 24/7 working with us players, Fessor stated.

Frederik “FESSOR” Sørensen is no longer a part of Monte’s active lineup going forward, the Danish talent revealed this Thursday. FESSOR has been a part of the Ukrainian roster ever since he left Astralis Talent around September last year.

- Sad news is that I got benched from Monte yesterday as well, really disappointed because I felt we had an amazing year (2022), and achieved the goals we expected. We just qualified for ESL Challenger and I really wanted to play it this season. I am thankful for the months we had together, and the memories we made, FESSOR wrote in a Twitlonger.

Fortunately for the 21-year-old rifler, there was also some good news to share in the post. Because it seems like he can come back to the server in two weeks’ time after he [link:{"url":"https://pley.gg/news/danish-rifler-month","isNewTab":true,"text":"revealed "}]that he suffer from a medical illness called “arthritis” earlier this month.

- Happy news, yesterday I got the right diagnosis from a doctor, who changed my medicine as well. He said he hoped I’ll be back in the game in max 2 weeks est. I never had so much pain in my entire life these past weeks, going from hospital to hospital.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"danish-rifler-month","isNewTab":true}]

FESSOR is open for offers in both Europe and North America, he explains.

Monte

Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen is set to be out for one month after discovering he has arthritis. Fessor announced on his Twitter that a new operation would take place on Wednesday. 

The FPL star will be set on the recovery bed for at least a month before returning to the grind on Faceit. 

Fessor is currently playing for the mixed European team MONTE. The team is placed at number 48 on the HLTV world ranking list.

Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen is a Danish pro player who currently earns his money from streaming. Fessor is often called out as one of the biggest pog´s on the FPL server. 

Fessor is playing for the mixed European team Monte with the likes of Woro2k, BOROS, DemQQ, and kRaSnal.

For those who don't know what arthritis is: arthritis symptoms include swelling, pain, stiffness, and diminished range of motion in joints. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and may come and go.

We all hope to see Fassor back in action. 

After a successful run at WePlay Academy League, Astralis Talent has announced a change to their lineup.

Benjamin" brzer" Jensen and Frederik "fessor" Sørensen will leave the team, while Nicklas "jarko" Rasmussen and Kristoffer "Kristou" Aamand will feature in the new lineup. Two new exciting prospects according to Kasper Hvidt, Director of Sports, Astralis.

- We are signing two new players from the top of the Danish talent scene who both have plenty of official match experience. Nicklas is 18 years old and has proven his high skill level by winning the Danish POWER Ligaen championship. Kristoffer is 20 years old and has played several matches for both AGF and North against some of the best teams in the World. I think those achievements speak for themselves.

While Benjamin" brzer" Jensen is headed to ECSTATIC, the future is still unknown for Frederik "fessor" Sørensen. The 21-year-old rifler has been one of the best players for Astralis Talent during his spell at the Organization.

- Frederik holds a ton of talent, which we mutually agree can be developed better elsewhere than with us. We recently found a suitable replacement for him who we expect a lot of, so now is the right time. We are very grateful for Frederik and his time with us, and we wish him the best in his future, says Kasper Hvidt.

Astralis Talent

At Roobet Cup 2022 Astralis and Movistar Riders had to wait until today to finish the match that started yesterday. Server issues postponed the match on the first map of Mirage, where Astralis were 7-6 ahead.

The two teams picked off where they left, with Benjamin 'blameF' Bremer continuing his one man army mission for the Danes. blameF crushed the Spaniards ending Mirage with a 33-14 K-D scoreline, which was enough for Astralis to win Movistar Riders’ map pick.

Overpass was next up, which also gave way to Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander returning to the lineup. The in-game leader had been ill yesterday and had been replaced by Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen on the first map. After a fairly even first half, it was Astralis on their CT-side that closed off the match with a stellar defense.

The Danes will take on Cloud9 in the next match, while Movistar Riders need a win against Complexity to stay alive.

Movistar Riders

We teamed up with Niels Christian "NaToSaphiX" Sillassen, who has looked into a lot of demos to find the candidates for this list, where we have excluded all players, who are already playing on a Tier-1/2 team such as Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov to name the most obvious one.

You can see the video here, and down below you can see all the names of the players.

10: {cflag:DK} Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen

The 21-year-old rifler is currently playing on Astralis Talent, but has been roaming around the professional scene for the last couple of years without breaking through. Is the highest-rated player before the playoffs start at WePlay Academy League Season 4.

Is currently playing for MONAD eSport on a C-tier level. The Swedish AWP'er is only 17 years old and could have a long career ahead of him in professional CS.

The Polish AWP'er had some big shoes to fill after Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás was promoted to the first team at the start of the year. But with a 1.22 rating in the WePlay Academy League, it seems like mhL is exactly what MOUZ NEXT had hoped for. 

This list and video were created before the news of w0nderful's move to Team Spirit. But we understand why! The Ukrainian is only 17 years old and has little to no experience in Tier 1 CS:GO, but we cannot wait to see him in action at IEM Cologne.

The AWP'er of Fnatic Rising can play both passive and aggressive with his Sniper rifle, which in today's meta is a huge deal. And hey, it's cool to see a new country in CS:GO (an honorable mention also goes to fellow Romanian Laurentiu "lauNX" Tarlea from Sprout)

Ladies and Gentlemen; We have an in-game leader on the list! IGLs are notoriously underappreciated in CS, but we hope to have picked one of the most exciting prospects for the future in "siuhy", who has won three titles in the WePlay Academy team with MOUZ NXT!

He is only 17 years old, but has already made quite a name for himself. The MOUZ NXT rifler has also been part of the successful spell at the team winning three titles and being one of the most hyped young players on the scene. But he did not make it into our top three! 

Another one! MOUZ NXT is packed with talents, and this one is special. Jimpphat is only 15 years old but is already signed with the best academy team in the world, which speaks for itself. The young Finn is actually VAC-banned, but since the ban was issued in early 2018, he can already compete at a Major next year.

The Russian is one of the most exciting players for the future. He is right on the edge of being on this list, but he is still largely unknown in the wider CS community. He is playing on 1WIN, who mostly are grinding C-tier tournaments.

[image:{"source":"cloudinary","publicId":"players/r1nkle_zfiwax","originalWidth":1280,"originalHeight":720,"customWidth":"100%","customHeight":"100%","cloudinaryAssetData":true,"cloudName":"pley-gg","format":"png"}]

Who is this guy? Niels Christian "NaToSaphiX" Sillassen was blown away watching demos of the 17-year-old Ukrainian AWP'er. He is currently playing for B8, but should have something much bigger in store for the future. Statswise he is currently rated 1.27 for his last three months, which is also very impressive.

Fnatic Rising

With the transfer of both Nico "nicoodoz" Tamjid and Fredrik "roeJ" Jørgensen to Fnatic, the Danish team is looking to completely rebuild their roster once again.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"official-fnatic-sign-nicoodoz-roej","isNewTab":true}]

But maybe this is not a bad time at all to do it. There have probably never been so many available Danes on the bench or on the free agent's list as now. Let's take a look at some of the different ways, the roster could look.

Why not give some of the old guys a new chance? We've seen karrigan, Imperial, and lately Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski perform at a very high level despite their age. The biggest reason why this will probably never happen is the wage. Most of the players would expect to be paid quite a bit more than the Copenhagen Flames are capable of paying. And then they would also have to pay NIP to secure the service of device. Yeah, this will not happen...

[image:{"source":"cloudinary","publicId":"teams/ninjas in pyjamas /Device_NIP_1_nvt3n8","originalWidth":2048,"originalHeight":1152,"customWidth":"100%","customHeight":"100%","cloudinaryAssetData":true,"cloudName":"pley-gg","format":"jpg","caption":"Credit: Ninjas in Pyjamas","alt":"device, dev1ce, NIP, Ninjas in Pyjamas, CSGO"}]

Five players that have all been on top-tier teams before, but who would all benefit from taking a step down to kickstart their careers again. This could be a very interesting team with some strong MAD Lions vibes. The biggest problem here is, who should be the IGL?

[image:{"source":"cloudinary","publicId":"players/kjaerbye_lnts8q","originalWidth":2048,"originalHeight":1152,"customWidth":"100%","customHeight":"100%","cloudinaryAssetData":true,"cloudName":"pley-gg","format":"jpg","caption":"Credit: StarLadder Igor Bezborodov"}]

While Copenhagen Flames have stated, that they are looking for a new home for the three remaining players, we could easily see them continue on the team. Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen is rumored to be leaving Astralis Talent, while Philip "Lucky" Ewald's contract with Astralis ended mid-May.

Have we missed anyone? Give us our guess on Twitter!

In a recent stream, Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen saw himself situated in a tough 1v5 clutch in a FACEIT Pro League match. Despite having all odds against him, the 21-year-old managed to turn things into his favour. 

That is most likely what has been said in the comms before these three CT players triple peeked a completely stunned and helpless Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen in connector on Mirage. You can watch the satisfying play right here in today's Pley of the Day. 

Astralis is quite possibly the most well-known organization within the realms of CS:GO. Having sported the arguably strongest Counter-Strike roster-core and won four majors there are no teams who have accomplished what the Danes of Astralis have managed over the years. As of recent times, however, the Astralis roster has had to make room for powerful CIS teams such as NaVi in the top of the rankings. Despite of this, the Astralis Talent roster is beginning to pick up form and it seems as if it is only a matter of time before one of these talented Danes gets the chance at a higher level. 

A player that has recently proven himself capable of remaining calm and collected in intense situations is Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen. When facing against NAVI Junior he managed to win a clutch round with two satisfying P250 headshots. Using the pillar as coverage he takes his time and manages to separate the two opposing players closing him down. 

Take a look at the satisfying clutch from the only 20 years old "Fessor" from Astralis Talent: 

[twitchClip:ViscousHelplessCaribouFreakinStinkin-v6Lg42lf8g2ROgQf]

Aces are seen semi-regularly, and they have become more normal than they used to be. It's probably a consequence of the crazy number of ultra-talented players that we have at the moment in the CS:GO scene and the delicious number of high-tier matches that we see. An ace is a display of incredible individual skill, and they are often absolutely amazing!

When Astralis Talent and fnatic Rising clashed yesterday in WePlay Academy League Season 3, we saw a rare three aces performed by Francisco "kst" Fragoso, Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen, and Iulian "regali" Harjău over the course of the Bo3.

[twitchClip:weplaycsgo/clip/DistinctLaconicAsteriskImGlitch-tVcjWmbaqZ0sKrvV]

Astralis Talent ended up taking the win after three maps.

Fessor has lately been playing as a stand-in for the Astralis Talent squad, but the time as a stand-in has now come to an end as the young Dane officially joins the team, the organization has announced.

The 20-year-old talent is already a well-known name in Denmark, having recently played for HYENAS and South with veteran players such as MSL and aizy. Already this Monday night, Fessor will play his first official game against Masonic in the Power Liga. The addition of Fessor resulted in Mads “vester” Vestergaard getting benched, while they explore his options, Dennis Vang, Head of Astralis Talent, stated on Twitter.

On the 28th of September, the former North and OpTic in-game leader Mathias “MSL” Lauridsen announced the creation of South. A new Danish roster filled with young talents and experienced players, which MSL should lead in-game. However, after less than three weeks of the announcement, the team has disbanded.

- I'm very sad and dissapointed about this! I believe all the players have great potential and I wish them the best. I'm open for new offers and I'm searching a stable organisation, where I can build something strong over time, MSL wrote on [link:{"url":"https://twitter.com/MSLcsgo/status/1437820697103974412","isNewTab":true,"text":"Twitter"}].

[slugORMA:{"slug":"fessor-part-ways-with-south","isNewTab":true}]

South consisted of the former North trio MSL, Phillip “aizy” Aistrup, and Jakob “JUGi” Hansen, where the youngster Frederik “Fessor” Sørensen and Jesper “TENZKI” Plougman was the last two pieces on the roster. The new team didn’t really manage to find a footing together, and MSL and co. lost against lower-ranked teams like AaB and AVE.

The 20-year-old Dane has announced that he has decided to part ways with South immediately as he didn’t feel it was the right place for him, despite playing with experienced players from his country. Fessor stated that he’s still hungry to compete and is open to other opportunities in hopes of breaking out elsewhere.

Fessor’s departure comes less than a month since the roster was revealed back in August and it’s the third team that the youngster leaves this year, having played for BLUEJAYS’ international squad before joining up with his fellow countrymen in HYENAS, the team that was disbanded when former Astralis player, Markus “Kjaerbye” Kjærbye decided to retire.

The CS:GO scene has just got a completely new team, with the rise of a fully Danish roster called South. The team is led by Mathias "MSL" Lauridsen, who revealed the news about his news team in July this year. However, today the captain has unveiled the roster, headlined by renowned players like Philip "aizy" Aistrup Larsen and Jakob "JUGi" Hansen.

The former North trio will be joined by the youngster Frederik “Fessor” Sørensen and the former Nordavind player Jesper "tenzki" Plougmann Mikalski. The team will for now play without an organization, as they wish to find a potential org to represent. 

South, the antonym of North, will get their debut this Wednesday at the qualifier for Funspark ULTI Regional Series.

HYENAS

After yesterday's announcement regarding the retirement of Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye, the rest of the four remaining players at HYENAS have called off the project.

- It was fun while it lasted but we discussed it, and the decision felt right for everyone, Philip "aizy" Aistrup wrote on his Twitter. Several former North players created the team with Frederik "Fessor" Sørensen and Johannes "b0RUP" Borup added as an extra mix.

[slugORMA:{"slug":"kjaerbye-retires-age-23","isNewTab":false}]

The team was active for three months where they competed at Flashpoint 3 and other minor tournaments on the circuit. The five Danes were never backed by a sponsor.

- 100% a free agent, and will be looking for my next adventure (as a rifler) hopefully after the summer break!, Philip "aizy" Aistrup added on his Twitter.

René "cajunb" Borg has been submitted to the roster list for HYENAS for Flashpoint 3, HLTV.org confirms.

The former North-player has joined the roster for the RMR-tournament in order for the team to be able to attend with three out of the five orignal North roster members on the team.

According to HLTV, cajunb will most likely be substituted with Frederik "⁠Fessor⁠" Sørensen, who is part of the new Danish project, that includes these names.

On paper a strong lineup for the Flashpoint 3 tournament, where they will face FunPlus Phoenix in the first round.

The Russian tournament organizer called U Can Company has just announced that they will hold the ninth edition of LOOT.BET with a profiled pool of attending teams, running from the 12th of April – 16th of May.

The most notable news regarding the announcement is that the former North trio in Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup, Markus "⁠Kjaerbye⁠" Kjærbye, and Nicklas "⁠gade⁠" Gade has been invited to the event, however this time under their new banner called HYENAS.
