It hasn’t been easy for Copenhagen Flames since the departure of the CS:GO team led by Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen following their playoff run at the PGL Antwerp Major in May. Copenhagen Flames has way fewer resources than its Danish counterparts like Astralis and Heroic, so it had to hit the reset button and look for players who were outside of tier-one.
After a slow start at the beginning of the second half of the competitive calendar, which included not even qualifying for the Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) for the IEM Rio Major, Copenhagen Flames are finding their footing. The new lineup led by Thomas “birdfromsky” Due Frederiksen accomplished last week what only a handful of teams have done: they won two CS:GO tournaments in the span of a few days.
