LGB eSports, the Swedish eSports organization founded in 2013, has had to let go of its team due to lacking funds to support the aspiring squad. Until recently the squad seemed on the way up, specifically doing well at the two CS:GO Majors that have been held up to this point. They placed 5-8th after close games against NiP at DreamHack Winter, and improved to a 3-4th placing at EMS One Katowice losing to the winner Virtus.pro. Although they fell to 5-8th again at Copenhagen games due to another loss to Virtus.pro, the team is still easily a top contender at any tournament they attend.
Currently LGB are still actively competing in the FACEIT Spring League and ESEA, with good chances of making the finals in both competitions, however the ESEA finals are held in the United States meaning attending will be expensive without the proper support. Together with their manager Viktor "vuggo" Jendeby the team will be on the look out for a now team until then.OnGamers spoke to Isak "Cype" Rydman about some of the impacts the departure has for the team's near future:
Dennis "dennis" Edman
Simon "twist" Eliasson
Freddy "KRiMZ" Johansson
Olof "olofm" Kajbjer
