Kjaerbye因身體問題缺陣 North租借丹麥小將Kristou填補陣容

丹麥戰隊North宣佈他們決定租借正效力AGF的18歲丹麥小將Kristou，事關陣中成員Kjaerbye因身體問題需要缺陣一段時間。

Kjaerbye早前亦因為身體問題的關係已經缺陣較早舉行的ESL One:Road to Rio 歐洲賽區賽事，隨後North找來了教練Jumpy臨時出戰並成功打入淘汰賽階段。根據North的官方聲明提到，Kjaerbye因為最近幾個月時間經歷著腹痛、呼吸困難及胸部絞痛等問題困擾，所以希望藉此進行休息。

目前為AGF效力的Kristou，這名18歲選手平均rating為0.98，而他在丹麥本土賽事Elgiganten Ligaen中，則以1.47 K/D領先並協助AGF於11場比賽中勝出其中9場比賽。

North電競總監Graham Pitt就提到Kristou是他們一直想要的選手:

“We have been collecting and tracking data on a number of young talents in the Scandinavian region as part of our expanded scouting directive in 2020. When it became apparent that we would need a short term substitute due to Kjaerbye’s unfortunate situation, we wanted to take the opportunity to look at the future and use a young and developing talent.
(在2020年，我們已經收集及分析很多北歐地區年輕選手的數據，當Kjaerbye的情況變得越來越差時，逼使我們決定要找來臨時隊員，我們希望在未來簽入更多年輕選手。)
“Among the many players that were at the top of our metrics, further analysis from our coaching team lead to Kristou standing out as a player that had the qualities that we desired for the role we were looking to fill. We are looking forward to seeing him play during our run in Dreamhack Masters.” – Graham Pitt, Head of Esports Operations
(在考慮所有人選後，我們的教練團隊最後決定找來Kristou，我們期待著看到他為我們出戰Dreamhack Masters的表現。)

and give it time to recover fully. I don’t know when I will be back on the server but, I do know that I need a break. I want to thank my family, fans and the North team and management for support and understanding.
