Prior to joining Preasy, ?refrezh? was a part of Heroic’s roster. The player then moved to Sprout in August 2022 and remained a part of the organization until Rasmus “?Zyphon?” Nordfoss replaced him this April.
The veteran spent barely any time away from active play and joined Evil Geniuses that same month, after the organization parted ways with Jadan “?HexT?” Postma. Refrezh was placed on EG’s inactive roster in July.
During his four-month stint with the organization, he posted a 0.94 rating over 17 maps. Evil Geniuses won around 35% of the maps they played within this period.
Having joined the Counter-Strike esports scene in June, Preasy have now officially completed their roster. The team includes refrezh, nicoodoz, Alexander “?tOPZ?” Miklagard, Thomas “?TMB?” Bundsb?k, and Alexander “?Altekz?” Givskov.

After taking over as the in-game leader at Sprout, refrezh chose to step down from his duties after being quoted as saying it “has been tough for him”.
The Dane will bring a wealth of tier-one CS:GO experience, having played for top European teams such as Copenhagen Flames and MAD Lions, as well as winning ESL Pro League Season 13 during his 16-month stint with Heroic.
Evil Geniuses desperately need someone like refrezh, who has been playing at the highest level for a few years and has attended all three CS:GO Majors in Stockholm, Antwerp, and Rio de Janeiro in the last two years.
Because they don’t have an official event until May 29, when IEM Dallas 2023 begins, EG will have plenty of time to integrate refrezh into the lineup.

]]>The change was made due to a difference in views concerning the future of the team. Sprout also revealed that they were still in search of a new in-game leader and would inform the public once one was found.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to refrezh from our active roster. Due to different views on the project, we have made a mutual agreement to put him on the transfer list. We’re grateful for his commitment and the memories, especially our run to the Rio Major,” Sprout wrote.
In a follow-up tweet, the esports organization said, “With that said, @ZyphonCS resumes his role in the active lineup. As for the search for a new IGL, we’re actively testing candidates and will keep you updated on our progress as the week closes.”
Zyphon’s return to the starting roster comes 21 days after he was moved to the bench. While on the team, he averaged a 1.06 rating, but was sidelined after Sprout’s underwhelming performance at IEM Katowice 2023.
Refrezh was benched following Sprout’s early elimination from the CCT Central Europe Malta Finals, ending the player’s half-year stint on the active lineup. The player was also placed on the transfer list.
Refrezh joined Sprout with Zyphon last summer after moving from Heroic. He went on to reach the top three at the ESL Challenger League Season 43 Europe, ESL Meisterschaft Autumn 2022, Intel Extreme Masters Road to Rio 2022 European RMR A, and Elisa Masters Espoo 2022.
He took on the reins of the IGL as a rookie captain later that year and helped the team qualify for a spot in the IEM Rio Major Legends Stage. With refrezh on the lineup, Sprout recorded victories over teams like Spirit, FORZE, and B8 en route to their highest-ever placement at a Valve-sanctioned event.
Sprout were unable to maintain that level of play over the next few months, and refrezh notably had issues handling his IGL position. The team was eliminated early on in the IEM Rio 2023 Closed Qualifier and IEM Katowice
As a result, refrezh announced that he intended to step down from his in-game leader position at the start of February. Sprout hosted a number of trials to secure a new IGL, involving players like Mikkel “?Maze?” Sparvath.
Sprout’s updated lineup features Lauren?iu “?lauNX?” ?arlea, Victor “?Staehr?” Staehr, Adrian “?XELLOW?” Gu?? and ?Zyphon. The organization will need to sign a new in-game leader before the RMR registration deadline in order to compete in the Regional Major Ranking event slated for April.
For now, Sprout are participating in the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 and ESL Challenger League Season 44. They are also getting ready for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 European RMR A.
