BLEED brought in two players from Apex, bolstering their ranks with veterans Joakim jkaem" Myrbostad and Tim "nawwk" Jonasson, while Tsvetelin CeRq" Dimitrov and Vladan "VLDN" Radević were removed from the top five.
Less than two weeks after Apex I officially confirmed that their current team is up for sale, jkaem and nawwk have found a new middle ground. Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović took advantage of the opportunity and brought two extremely high-quality players, who have a top 4 finish behind them at the last CS:GO Major, when Apex was stopped in the semi-finals of the Paris tournament by the future winner Vitality.
They spent two years in Apex, and jkaem previously worked with kassad, while nawwk played alongside captain Hampus "Hampus" Poser in Ninjas in Pyjamas.
BLEED made a potentially huge boost to the AWP position with this move. CeRq didn't manage to do his best on the team, and in his big return to competitive CS, while nawwk was consistently one of the best individuals on his team. On the other hand, VLDN performed very well during his time in BLEED, which is why fans regret his departure, but it is still understandable how BLEED can benefit from the experience that jkaem brings.
VLDN and CeRq have been given permission to search for new teams, and the first line-up of BLEED now consists of:
Hampus "Hampus" Poser
Josef "faveN" Baumann
Cai "CYPHER" Watson
Joakim "jkaem" Myrbostad
Tim "nawwk" Jonasson
Aleksandar "kassad" Trifunović (coach manager)
