A new Swedish team has been formed under the name qwerty, featuring former FaZe player and NiP stand-in Maikel "Maikelele" Bill and ex CLG coach Faruk "pita" Pita.

The lineup features various talent hailing from Sweden, including Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill, who has been teamless since he went inactive in early April following FaZe's unsuccessful journey at MLG Columbus.

He returned to activity in late August when he temporarily rejoined NiP to stand in for Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi in ESL Pro League and at several offline tournaments, including StarSeries where he helped the Swedish squad take their second title this year.

Joining him in qwerty is Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita, who coached CLG in the first half of 2016 before he stepped into the active roster for ESL One Cologne and ELEAGUE Season 1.

The remaining three members are former fnatic player John "⁠wenton⁠" Eriksson, ex-Escape's Fredrik "⁠slap⁠" Junbrant, and Simon "⁠atter⁠" Atterstam, best known for his time in Torpedo.

"I am happy to finally announce our new lineup. We actually began working on this project in July this summer, but the work was put on hold due to both me and Maikelele taking part in different endeavors with the two Swedish giants Fnatic and NiP." John "wenton" Eriksson told HLTV.org "As of early November this project is resumed – and the feeling within the team is better than ever before. We have a great mix of individuals with different skill sets, as well as a great work ethic – the latter being something that I think is especially hard to come by these days. With pita taking on the leader-role within the team I’m certain that Sweden can bring another top contending team into the scene."
