Epsilon Fjeldern Named H1 Pro League Week One MVP

Week one of the H1Z1 Pro League commenced last Saturday, and while some teams were predicted to come flying out of the gates, the team that completely dominated them all was Epsilon Esports. They earned themselves a staggering 28 points overall in the first match and another five in the second to firmly cement themselves at the top of the scoreboard with 33 points. One player that was the backbone of his teams performance in Vegas last week was no other than Markus ‘Fjeldern’ Fjeld, who managed to snag an impressive 10 kills.

Hailing from Fagernes, Norway, Fjeldern said in an interview during the week two pre-game show that he’s “super proud” of earning the MVP award. His team’s outstanding performance during the first week has meant that the recent downtime between gameweeks has been split evenly between partying and practicing, and that their gameplan hasn’t really changed after their phenomenal performance during the first week. Epsilon are focused on simply playing their game, “getting the kills here and there”, and securing another win.

Going into week two, while Epsilon hold the top spot, all eyes will be on Luminosity Gaming after they were considered one of the favourites for the league but failed to snag a single point. Player for Luminosity, Hogne "Chipzy" Krogsaether, had this to say following their disappointing performance: "We had been practicing the past few days, and what we have been doing is what we tried to do in the matches. It just didn't work out. It happens. Bad days exist. I think we are going to go into the next week doing the same exact thing and hopefully have a better showing with better decision making."

Week two is currently underway, and you can tune in here on the official H1PL Facebook page. If you missed last week’s action, you can find our first game recap here and second game coverage here, where Cloud9 emerged victorious. You can follow Fjeldern on Twitter here.
