Team Copenhagen Wolves CS2 roster — player bios & stats
The quick numbers below are practical “at-a-glance” indicators for readers. Ratings are the common HLTV “Rating 2.1/2.0” figures and are meant to be directional for the last team period or ~last 3 months (where noted).
Sindre “Tapewaare” Ellefsen — IGL (Norway)

Georgi “Jorko” Mitev — AWP (Bulgaria)
- Role: Primary AWP, clutch threat.
- Recent 3-month profile: ~1.07 rating, high clutching and AWP impact; opening duel volume is measured rather than hyper-aggressive.

- Recent 3-month profile: ~1.05 rating, high trading and entrying contribution.

Coaching
Christoffer “ko5te” Kostelac emphasizes drilled mid-round protocols (re-clear timings, late pinches) and roster development. The group’s week-to-week improvement shows in cleaner anti-ecos and better post-plant spacing.
Team Copenhagen Wolves CS2 results & recent performance (2025)
Podiums & notable finishes
- Runner-up — Galaxy Battle 2025 (Phase 3), June 24, 2025. Strong B-tier run; lost the final in a best-of-five but banked momentum.
- 3rd — European Pro League Season 26, July 16, 2025. Mixed group stage, recovered in playoffs; showed composure vs structured opponents.
Other 2025 checkpoints
- ESL Challenger League S49 Europe (April 8, 2025): 12th; eliminated by ex-Aurora in playoffs.
- United21 S25 (Jan 20, 2025): Champions; a C-tier win that kick-started the year.
Active/ongoing as of Aug 13, 2025
- Thunderpick World Championship 2025: European Series #2 (Aug 5–14). Mixed results; 2-0s vs ECLOT and m1x, a 0-2 to ECLOT, and a 1-2 to Passion UA.
- ESEA Season 54: Advanced EU (Jul 14–Sep 21). Solid early regular-season wins; aiming for Playoffs seeding.
- CCT S3 Europe Series #5 Play-In (Aug 13–18). A chance to convert recent form into Closed Qualifier reps.
Trendline (summer 2025): After June roster tweaks (adding n1Xen and Jorko, parting with Jackinho/kwezz), results stabilized. They oscillate around HLTV #80–#90 globally, with a spike potential when opening duels land and AWP impact shows up in series deciders.
How Copenhagen Wolves likes to play (map pool, pacing, and protocols)
Map pool snapshot (general)
- Comfort picks: Mirage, Inferno, Anubis — where the riflers can take fast space and Jorko can pivot between sites for late-round impact.
- Situational picks/comfort bans: Overpass and Nuke show promise with structure, but success hinges on early-round trading. Vertigo is played selectively.
Pacing & identity
- T side: Slow-build defaults into late 25-second hits; frequent re-routes to isolate solo anchors. Expect layered utility to deny counter-nades, then 2nd-wave flashes for trading.
- CT side: Anchor discipline is a strength (b1elany), while n1Xen/Matheos challenge map control with calculated re-peeks. Jorko rotates aggressively for man-down saves.
What wins them series
- Opening success from Matheos + AWP clutches from Jorko + clean 2-for-1 trades around Tapewaare’s mid-round calls.
What costs them series
- When entries stall versus well-prepared B-tier teams, their late-execs become predictable. Early utility damage vs their fast timing groups can blunt momentum.

Strengths, weaknesses, and win conditions
Strengths
- Young, hungry frag core with Matheos and n1Xen pushing pace.
- High clutch ceiling via Jorko; late-round poise.
- Coach-led structure that reduces eco upsets and cleans post-plants.
Weaknesses
- Predictability late in halves if early map control is denied.
- AWP dependency in deciders: If Jorko is neutralized, T-side closures can stall.
- Streakiness vs B-tier tacticians: Teams like ECLOT/Alliance punish timings with prepped utility.
Keys to upset higher seeds
- Secure opening duels (Matheos) on their comfort maps.
- Let Tapewaare drag rounds late—capitalize on spacing/trade discipline.
- Keep Jorko mobile: AWP impact peaks when he’s rotated into mid-round fights.
