nolpenki announce disband to allow players to pursue individual options

Long-standing unsigned team nolpenki have disbanded to allow the players to find individual opportunities.

nolpenki have been running in one form or another since June, and while the only member remaining from that original roster is Vakaris "vakk" Bebravičius, the roster featuring players such as Mehmet Yağız "cNed" İpek and Aleksander "zeek" Zygmunt has been around since late September. Since that time, they’ve won a few smaller tournaments, specifically the TOURSTAT Summer Clash and Valorant Challenge 2, as well as qualified for the First Strike Europe Regional Final, where they fell out in the quarterfinals to FunPlus Phoenix. As of the time of their disband, they sit at #6 in THESPIKE.GG’s European rankings.

There is certainly a wealth of opportunities available to the members of the team, with Alliance entering VALORANT, Team Vitality reportedly also getting in on the action, and teams such as FunPlus Phoenix, G2 Esports, and Ninjas in Pyjamas all looking or supposedly looking for new members.

All of the former members of nolpenki - vakk, cNed, zeek, Jesse "JESMUND" Terävä, and Aron "Aron" Fredriksson, are now free agents.
