Gaimin Gladiators SIGN ROEJ, NICOODOZ

Gaimin Gladiators  have announced the additions of seasoned Danish players Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen and Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi, who will take the places of Jason "⁠salazar⁠" Salazar and Patrick "⁠Patti⁠" Larsen.

The latter's departure means Magnus "⁠ Nodios ⁠" Olsen will take over as in-game leader, HLTV has learned.

The Canadian organization returned to Counter-Strike in April by signing the  ECSTATIC  roster that broke out at PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen and entered the top 20 in the world rankings.

After their signing, the team dropped to No. 40 in the rankings as they failed to build on the success of their Major run. Early exits in several online cups and a winless campaign at MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2024, their only lan tournament in their new home, prompted the organization to enact roster changes.

nicoodoz comes into the team to take over AWPing duties after playing the first half of the year in  Heroic . The move marks the Dane's return to a team from his local scene where he first broke out with  Copenhagen Flames .

roeJ has been inactive since the disbandment of the Preasy squad earlier in April, where he averaged a 1.14 rating. The 30-year-old reunites with long-time teammate nicoodoz, with whom he played on  Copenhagen Flames ,  Fnatic , and Preasy.

"We got an opportunity to bring in two really good players who also bring a lot of experience," coach Peter "⁠casle⁠" Ardenskjold told HLTV. "Sometimes it's about making the changes when the chance is there. We believe that this can help us get back up the table."

Gaimin Gladiators  are now:

 Magnus "⁠ Nodios ⁠" Olsen
 Jonas "⁠Queenix⁠" Dideriksen
 Tobias "⁠kraghen⁠" Kragh Jensen
