Today, Turkish organization Sangal Esports announced the signing of former Young Ninjas player Linus "LNZ" Holteng. This was announced by the organization on its Twitter.

LNZ commented on his move to the team as follows:

I’m extremely excited to be joining Sangal for the upcoming season and i want to thank both Sangal and the team for giving me the opportunity to start Counter-Strike 2 here. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and to starting to build our relationship before the next season.

The arrival of a new player in the lineup was also commented by the organization's CEO Hamza Senmez:

As we decided to move forward to a younger and dynamic team, finally the time has come to announce one of the newest player. Our eyes are always on Scandinavia when it comes to young talents. So we encharged LNZ to lead to a new meta of Sangal for upcoming seasons. Please give a warm welcome to LNZ, welcome to family

And team coach Clesti "stikle-" Cola was not left out and also commented on the event:

Now, we are pleased to start a new chapter with LNZ, who’s very much welcome at Sangal. He is a very highly skilled player, as despite his young age, he has already managed to gain some achievements. I am looking forward to seeing him on the server and I’m confident that our team will have a very strong consistency for the upcoming game.

But, the Snagal Esports roster is still not fully staffed, they are still missing one player:

• Janer "Soulfly" Keshichi
  
• Jan "kyuubii" Ali.
  
• Max "PANIX" Hangebruch
  
• Linus "LNZ" Holteng

• Clesti "stikle-" Kola (coach)

LNZ's merits

The 20-year-old player from Sweden started his career back in 2018. But for obvious reasons, the player's career blossomed only after joining the Young Ninjas roster as a riffler.

In all that time, he has already managed to win $59,787 in prize money, as well as a great performance on the:

• Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Fall: Europe (1 place)
• PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (5-8 place)
  
• BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2021 (1-3 place)
  
• BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2021 (4 place)
  
• Atlantic Esportal Invitational (1 place)
  

It should be clarified that all these tournaments were played together with the main squad.
