Former Fnatic coach Jumpy finds new home, joins North

Danish esports organization North has secured a significant coaching acquisition, appointing Jimmy “Jumpy” Berndtsson as their new head coach for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This strategic move sees Jumpy taking over from departing coach Torbjørn “mithR” Nyborg, who guided the team throughout the previous competitive season.

Through an official announcement published on theNorth organizational website, the incoming coach expressed genuine enthusiasm about the team’s underlying capabilities and future trajectory:

“The opportunity to coach an organization with North’s infrastructure and player talent genuinely excites me. I recognize substantial raw ability within this roster that simply requires proper direction and development systems to reach elite competitive levels,” Jumpy stated, emphasizing his confidence in the team’s potential.

Christian Engell, North’s performance coach, extended a warm welcome to the new addition while highlighting the strategic value Jumpy brings to their coaching staff. Engell’s endorsement reflects genuine organizational confidence rather than mere promotional rhetoric.

Following his departure from Fnatic in September 2019, Jumpy remained available in the coaching market for several months. His three-year tenure with the prestigious Swedish organization established him as one of CS:GO’s most accomplished tactical leaders. During this period, Fnatic secured multiple prestigious tournament victories including the championship atIEM Katowice 2018, the global title atWESG 2017, and dominant performance at thePLG Grand Slam. The squad additionally delivered consistently strong showings at premier Valve-sponsored events such as theELEAGUE Atlanta Major
and the
PGL Krakow Major
throughout his leadership period.

This coaching transition follows North’s comprehensive organizational rebranding initiative launched in January, which included the complete elimination of their social media footprint. This dramatic digital reset generated widespread speculation about potential organizational collapse throughout the esports community. Many followers expressed disappointment when the team’s dramatic reappearance failed to include additional structural or personnel modifications beyond visual identity changes.

North management anticipates Jumpy’s championship experience will catalyze the team’s return to competitive form following an inconsistent 2019 campaign. The roster demonstrated capability for impressive live event performances but suffered significant tournament setbacks that relegated them to mid-tier status within the challenging European competitive landscape.

Jumpy assumes leadership of North’s established five-player Danish roster, which includes:

• Markus “Kjaerbye” Kjærbye
• Philip “aizy” Aistrup
• Nicklas “gade” Gade
• René “cajunb” Borg
• Mathias “MSL” Lauridsen

This lineup combines experienced veterans with emerging talent, creating a foundation that could benefit significantly from Jumpy’s systematic coaching approach and major tournament experience.
