After a prolonged period of speculation, Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså has joined North, the Danish team has confirmed.

Three months after Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså was benched on Heroic, the Danish player has found a new home and will be joining his former team's local rivals—North.

The squad under Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen's leadership was without a fifth player since the Major ended when they too decided to bench one of their players, Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif, leaving them with four. After valde was released from Heroic in July, it seemed like it was just a matter of time before the the 22-year-old joined North.
