Sweden isn’t the only Scandi country taking a battering in this week’s roster news, OG have also announced that their two Danes, Chr1zN and nicoodoz, will be moving to the bench.

A surprise given that nicoodoz is one of tier two’s most consistent players and Chr1zN is one of the best young IGLs in CS, it’s hard to imagine that the two players being benched didn’t come down to a mutual decision. Especially when you see this interview from last month.

Chr1zN, as YouM3 pointed out on Twitter, should be looked to leverage his availability into a move up the ladder. Still a relatively unknown prospect at tier one, he’s fragged at a solid level since joining OG, and he was a big reason as to why they managed to claw their way back up the rankings in 2025.

We’re not sure where he could end up, Astralis was the obvious spot before HooXi, but considering he’s former MOUZ NXT and MOUZ have had some pretty dodgy T sides at points this year, a new IGL could be what they need to finally take the last step as a team.

As for nicoodoz, he’s now a very known commodity. A side-grade is the absolute best hope for him, and even then, we’re not sure where that would be.

Anywhere except VALORANT, we suppose.

Oh, he said he’s down to switch? Oh dear…

Anyway, OG are reportedly set to be replacing one (or both, we guess?) of their outgoing players with cadiaN.

And for once, we’re genuinely speechless.
