The Swedish player has decided to move to NA and join the Ace gaming team. He's been expected to join the Canadian team since he was playing a stand-in role for them during two different tournaments.
Andreas "Maxaki" Andersson has officially been signed by the Ace Gaming side. Maxaki, following the steps of his ex-Team Orbit teammate Pyth, will be moving to NA to play for the Canadian team. He has already played for the Canadinas during two tournaments - the CEVO Professional and the ESL ESEA Pro League.
Maxaki has been without a team since the disbandment of Team Orbit. The former LGB eSports player has been struggling to find a team and has been seen playing in an international lineup, called Sententia Mortis, with the likes of George "hudzG" Hoskins. The team has quickly disbanded again, leaving Maxaki teamless.
Following Maxaki's recruitment by Ace Gaming the player himself has released a following statement:
“Going across the world to play a game I love is going to be lots of fun and a once in a lifetime experience. My goal is to try to bring some fresh EU air into the NA scene by supporting this team with everything I know about CS. It's initially going to be an uphill battle implementing a new playstyle, but I'm sure it will benefit us in the long run.”Alongside Maxaki, a renowned tournament admin and former LGB manager Robert "LillRobbaN" Jonasson, will be moving to Canada to manage the Ace Gaming team. Jonasson had this to say about the move:
“For me it's a great honor having been asked to take part in this project. On a personal level and see this as an amazing challenge and opportunity, while I'm also very grateful to Ace Gaming for allowing me the chance to bring along Maxaki, a player I respect and have enjoyed working with in previous teams. As I will be taking on a combined coaching and management role I will also get full access to help shape this team from the inside, bringing a European way of thinking to the NA scene.”ACE Gaming roster:
