Frederik "acoR" Gyldstrand has announced that he will leave ECSTATIC following the expiration of his contract and is now a free agent. The AWPer said he signed a short-term deal with an option to extend and chose not to exercise that option as he enters the new year.
The 28-year-old Dane joined ECSTATIC in September. During his time with the team he posted an average rating of 1.04 and contributed to several notable results: ECSTATIC reached the final of DraculaN Season 3 and finished fourth at Fragadelphia Blocktober 2025.
Those late-season performances secured ECSTATIC an invitation to BLAST Bounty 2026 S1, which is scheduled to begin on January 12 with the online stage. Despite acoR's departure, the team retains a competitive record that earned them that spot.
With acoR gone, ECSTATIC's current active roster consists of the following Danish players: Thomas "TMB" Bundsbæk, Anton "Anlelele" Huynh, Martin "nut nut" Holm Vestergaard and William "sirah" Kjærsgaard.
acoR indicated on social media that he would not extend his short-term contract, and he is now available on the free-agent market. ECSTATIC meanwhile enter the new event with the four remaining players listed above, leaving a vacancy in the AWPer position on their roster.
