　　With plentiful changes in the current Swedish team due to the likes of Fnatic, ex-SK and ex-LGB shuffling their rosters, the teamless players have stuck together to start a new project under the name FlipSid3. The roster consists of several surprises, not the least of which is the return of Andreas 'MODDII' Fridh after a lengthy spell of inactivity. After several weeks of increased streaming and matchmaking he has announced his return alongside a former teammate of his, the recently ousted Andreas 'schneider' Lindberg.

　　The two premier players are joined by the ex-SK duo of Simon 'twist' Eliasson and Jacob 'pyth' Mourujärvi, who have had a tough stretch of roster instability over the last few months. The fifth and final member is the equally (if not more) unlucky Martin 'cENTRYZ' Brandal, who had committed to full-time CS:GO, only to find his team ESC gaming cutting him from the lineup not long after.

　　With their amount of talent and experience, and potentially also leadership, the new FlipSid3 team can be expected to start challenging the top end of the Swedish and international scene if all goes well.

A statement issued by Andreas 'schneider' Lindberg read:

　　After a lot of back and forth with organizations I stumbled across F3 and since it’s not a familiar organisation for me and a lot of other CSGO players we were skeptical. We decided to hear them out anyway, as it turned out they were not what I expected. They had good sponsor agreements and good economic funding. The whole staff was really honest and kind with the will to get bigger and better.

　　I want to thank FlipSid3 Tactics and Flexible Gaming for believing in our team. I look forward to representing them in the future. Be sure to show your support by going to www.flexiblegaming.com.
