H2k Gaming lose Victor 'VissEh' Gunnasrron and add Roe 'froz' Langaas.
The Swedish Call of Duty 4 side have been proving to be one of the best in the new season of Call of Duty 4. Since they played under the H2k Gaming tag, the team impressively finished 5-8th at the Crossfire Challenge 7, and even better, 2nd at the SteelSeries eSport Event, leaving them on a second place in the Cadred April Rankings.
However, the team has been forced into changes as they have to say goodbye to Victor 'VissEh' Gunnasrron. He has found a new job and thus he has no time to put into competitive gaming. His replacement is the upcoming talent Roe 'froz' Langaas.
Gunnasrron left this statement on the H2k-Gaming website:
It's a sad and good day for me. I am sad to leave my team mates behind because we have shared so many memorable moments, however, I believe that with froz stepping in they will be in good hands and can only with them the best for the future. I will be leaving professional gaming behind due to my new job which disables me to play actively.
Langaas comes from the team Pandorum, but has already displayed his skills at SEC, playing for the 4Dead mixteam, for whom his display was nothing less than impressive. He now first makes his first step to the absolute top, so he might be an unknown name to you. TEK-9.org has recently done an interview with Langaas, so just head over here to get to know the talented Swede better.
Statement by Froz:
After some weeks trialing for the team I’m really happy to be joining H2k as their new fifth. I’ve had a great time and a lot of fun playing with the guys after meeting them at SEC and feel very pleased to be joining Europe's number two COD4 team, and an organization such as H2k. Hopefully I can bring motivation and solid gameplay into the team and I’m really looking forward to attending the summer LANs with H2k. Finally I want to wish the guys in team pandorum the best of luck in whatever they decide to do and thank H2k for giving me this chance!
The H2k Gaming Call of Duty 4 line-up is now this:
Johan 'miRACLE' Gärtner
Adam 'Mumma' Timle-Händel
Fredrik 'qLimAxzU' Idh
Hampus 'mySpyS' Karlsson
Roe 'froz' Langaas
