A new profiled roster has seen the light in the CS:GO landscape, as the former c0ntact coach Neil "⁠NeiL_M⁠" Murphy has joined forces with a mix of Swedish and Lithuanian players. The new team haven’t been signed by an organization yet and will play under the banner of MANS NOT HOT.

The Swedish-Lithuanian roster is led by the former NIP player Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson and the 20-year-old Rokas "⁠EspiranTo⁠" Milasauskas, who both looks to be the highlight players on the newly-created squad. The duo is joined by the Swedes Robin "⁠robiin⁠" Sjögren and Denis "⁠grux⁠" Gutaj, while EspiranTo’s countryman Armandas "⁠maty⁠" Kneita round up the roster.

Head coach, NeiL_M has given the following statement to HLTV: 

- Our goals are simple, to create a new international home where each player is at his highest peak in their most impactful role to shine. All five players here are slotted into the most natural role that they wanted, we've already started to practice as much as possible. We're ready to compete in events to grind our way up the ladder and prove who we are.

North annonced back in September 2020 that the Organization was focused on changing their roster from being Danish to a Nordic roster. Today the 21-year-old Denis “grux” Gutaj has been signed as the fith member of the active roster.

grux has played on minor teams, and is a relative unknown name. But according to the North management, there is big potential in the young Swede.

- I've studied him for some time. As he seemed very promising, we reached out and had him try to practice with us. Right away, it was evident that he has a lot of skill, but, at the same time, also is far from reaching his ceiling," says the coach of North, Jimmy "Jumpy" Berndtsson.

- Playing in this team will help me stay consistent and learn new things, and I'm motivated more than ever to play. I believe in our future and the game style we will bring on our matches," says Denis "grux" Gutaj to North's homepage.

North is currently trialing 21-year-old grux from Sweden for its active roster and he has been practicing with the line-up over the past week according to a report by dbltap.com. It’s yet unknown if the Danish organization will start the year with him as their official fifth player.

It’s expected that the Swede will fill in for Rasmus “kreaz” Johansson who stepped in on the team late last year and was also trialing for North in their most recent matches.

The 21-year-old Swede has not had a ton of experience playing at a professional level, with short periods of time on multiple Swedish and international roster between 2018 and 2020. His tenure with SMASH Esports, which he joined in late 2019 was his longest and lasted for six months before the team parted ways with the organization and went their separate ways.

Representatives from North declined to comment.
