The past few weeks have been fraught with accusations, bans and player dismissals that have remained prominent in the headlines. However, in the background it appears there have been some action taken against two members of the newest fm-eSports roster.
A statement from the fm-eSports organisation on their website cited behavioural problems from the two new players, resulting in countless warnings towards them. Despite this, it seems the task of remaining professional when representing one of the country’s longest standing names in Counter-Strike had proven too much to take up, and it appears that with regret the organisation had to release Aaron “fre1” Frei and Tramaine “stan1ey” Stanley.
An excerpt from the announcement of the organisations website reads:
It wasn’t all plain sailing and we most definitely didn’t expect to bring 2 players to a level they’ve not competed at before and hit the ground running. That being said, both fre1 and stan1ey showed some incredible promise and over the course of the lineup, there were some spells of greatness. Unfortunately however, this period would be marred by far too regular attitude and behaviour issues, causing uncomfortable situations for the team and management to deal with. As a team we issued multiple warnings regarding this, however even after said warnings (and a final one issued just a few days ago) regrettably the problems remained.
Thus with two men down, the fm side appear to have turned to two players that are extremely familiar to the organisation. They will, for the foreseeable future, be calling on Phil “Whindanski” Nicholas and Søren “socN” Falke to bolster the side for upcoming events, including the insomnia58 event in just under two weeks time. This leaves the roster looking more and more similar to an fm line-up we have come to excpect, and it is hoped that the team can pull it together in time to get back to winning ways.
The fm-eSports roster is now:
Neil “nEiLZiNHo” Finlay
George “hudzG” Hoskins
Som “s0m” Hadow
Søren “socN” Falke
Phil “Whindanski” Nicholas
