FunPlus Phoenix reach agreement to sign GODSENT roster

28/12/2020 - 16:43

The current GODSENT team is set to play under a new banner in 2021, pending the signing of individual player contracts.

Petar "⁠peca⁠" Marković, FunPlus Phoenix's General Manager, announced on Twitter that his organization and GODSENT have agreed on the transfer of the roster featuring the likes of Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković and Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk.

The Chinese organization is now working on signing individual contracts with the players, after which they will officially become members of FunPlus Phoenix.

Maden and co. should be representing FunPlus Phoenix in 2021

"The mutual agreement between FunPlus Phoenix and GODSENT about FPX acquiring their CSGO roster starting from 1.1.2021. has been made", peca said in response to a picture that showed Maden and co. as members of FunPlus Phoenix. He noted that "players and their legal representatives" are currently reviewing the contracts before they are "eventually" signed.

At the moment, it is unknown whether Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković, who stood in for GODSENT during the final period of 2020 after the removal of Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend, will have a spot in FunPlus Phoenix, while their coach Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg is expected to make the move alongside the players.

The European mixture has reportedly been in talks with Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi, who could complete the lineup by reuniting with former teammates STYKO and Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala.

The talks between FunPlus Phoenix and GODSENT were reported by HLTV.org as early as October, shortly after peca was unveiled as the General Manager of the Chinese organization. Despite being a Flashpoint founding member, FunPlus Phoenix didn't participate in the second season of the tournament as they focused on building a "promising, long-lasting" roster for 2021.

FunPlus Phoenix, a renowned organization in League of Legends, made its foray into CS:GO in March when they fielded Heroic's roster in Flashpoint 1. However, the deal with the Danish team fell through after Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen's move to Astralis, seeing Bad News Bears represent the organization temporarily, in Flashpoint 1 Stage 2. With the signing of the current GODSENT lineup, FunPlus Phoenix would have a roster that is currently ranked #20 in the world.

Astralis is red triangle basically and nip is golden/brown star . Seriously godsent has one of the coolest colours and designs for CSGO sticker its actually insane.

2020-12-28 17:07

Godsent has probably the best logo for a CS GO team in history I also like the Fnatic logo even though It looks like a Fire Blast from Pokémon

2020-12-29 18:10

0/8 liquid has the best stickers of any team

2020-12-28 19:10

Name and flair check out 1/8 bait

2020-12-28 19:22

not bait, truth liquid stickers look amazing, especially the katowice 2019 one

they might look amazing doesnt mean they are the best. i.redd.it/k1lwh5resig31.png I am telling you nothing beats godsent stickers Btw liquid has very cool design for katowice but their logo is so underhwlming it gets beat godsent stickers still But to be honest liquid does have best sticker out of katowice 2019 stickers so good for you i guess

2020-12-28 22:11

the godsent atlanta one slaps tbh, i do wish they made more majors.

2020-12-28 22:54

Godsent katowice 2014 without the black leaves backround and the text just the eye and triangle. Why do katowice how such cool stickers?

2020-12-28 22:57

Other than the meme of illuminati, the sticker is just a mess without style. It's too bulky and clumsy, almost any other sticker has a better design and looks a lot cleaner.

2020-12-29 01:19

0/8 really good colours really nice logo. and all stickers since 2017 look pretty meh

2020-12-29 19:24

2021-01-04 19:08

indeed

no sunNy ?

9 replies

it only says farlig. zehn. styko and maden on the tweet so could be sunny as 5th

2020-12-28 16:47

+1 But lets be honest here both krystal or emi fit better than sunny on paper to how this team plays.

2020-12-28 16:55

id like someone like SunNy then have Krystal as a coach since Krystal can help with calls and Sunny can sort the fragging out

2020-12-28 17:14

Thats not really good plan for LANs. Coach calling is only allowed during online era BTW krystal is going to attax

2020-12-28 17:17

MORE FIREPOWEr

2020-12-28 17:15

Sunny is a good player but he really isnt good IGL for secondary calling he is pretty solid but IGL is not for him

2020-12-28 17:16

They are going to have so much fun.

2020-12-28 19:06

I guess that they have not made any agreements yet, so they wont announce it yet.

first we need a major to get any stickers

2020-12-28 16:46

they changed their logo lol

7 replies

Whats their new logo?

2020-12-28 16:56

it just says fpx lol

2020-12-28 17:13

When you look at their twitter they tweeted match on christmas day (24.12. 2020) with phoenix logo so idk about that. twitter.com/FPX_Esports/status/134195863.. i know you mean this one twitter.com/FPX_Esports/photo

they announced that they have rebranded 4 hours ago. They might stay with their original logo for their LoL team though.

2020-12-28 17:18

So we dont get fucking awesome godsent stickers but we also dont get semi cool firebird stickers. China being asshole once again

2020-12-28 17:22

Correct. Don't know why they decided to rebrand before signing their csgo roster. Old logo was very cool.

RIP godsent sticker

Really exciting to hear such news. Great roster if they add sunny.

Nice

+ suNny

twitter pic shows devilwalk as 1 of 5? is this temporary or what

Devilwalk is going to coach obviously. FPX just didnt sign krystal because they would kick him anyway. Its waste of money to buyout someone you dont want

2020-12-28 16:48

yeah obviously but it just looks like they put him in active lineup like this, i was hyped for a sec lol

2020-12-28 16:50

Its not out of realm of posibilities but they would have to get coach anyway... Maybe emi to coach LULW

Long time coming, but who's their fifth player?

suNny

2020-12-29 05:41

Will sunny IGL? Because if so, that would be bad Better sign a real igl

2020-12-29 10:19

He was IGLing in mouz but in ENCE nothing worked out because they had huge problems inside the team

2020-12-29 22:49

pls sign AZR

I dont understand why Godsent came at first place back with csgo roster if they were not planning to make something lasting

They made a lot of money i am pretty sure about that. They bought low (except for farlig) and sold high. They basically sold major spot to FPX pretty good deal for them. And if i had to guess this is SK gaming all over

CHAOS OR 100T LINEUP

2020-12-28 18:46

please just kick LWX first

2020-12-28 16:51

Good job GODSENT :)

Good for them!

2020-12-28 16:54

SadMinus Lion

it says devilwalk in the roster.. is he actually going to play? rip godsent if so

They dont have a fith yet, thats why devilwalk is in the picture. He will coach obvisouly

2020-12-29 10:20

this is...news.

emi pls stay in roster :(

rip my boy pronax

2020-12-28 17:04

2020-12-28 17:34

Sign Ex chaos😳😳 No but fr they will probaly disband tbh. Or build a tier 3 roster that will only play ninetofive all day

2020-12-29 10:22

Lets fucking go

2020-12-28 17:36

LOL

2020-12-28 17:37

good move

Godsent roster already dead after krystal departure

Imagine thinking kystal really did shit KEKW

2020-12-28 17:44

look at his teams history when he joint a team, the team got better and he always had nonames or players nobody else wanted

2020-12-28 17:54

yes but they didnt get worse with emi. they were more or less in the same place

2020-12-28 18:01

Just look at his stats, poor guy

2020-12-28 18:38

shouldve gotten Chaos

2020-12-28 17:56

heroic*

2020-12-28 18:05

Fpx was litterly on the edge of signing heroic. If they did they would have had gold in there hands because heroic suddenly became really fucking good

2020-12-29 10:24

LETS GO

2020-12-28 18:03

tier 50

easy for god farlig

FPX about to 3-0 G2 in cs aswell

2020-12-28 18:08

Woooooh

2020-12-28 18:22

not sure how much I can care, GODSENT fan but without Pronax's heritage and legacy it's just any other team, only this time owned by the Chinese....

2020-12-28 18:27

maybe godsent signs a new roster

They probally will but not on the same caliber as ex godsent. Probaly some tier 3 ninetofive team

there are plenty of available rosters out there. ex 100t and chaos are the best, but the former are going to extremum most likely and the latter probably don't want to move to europe. ex-contact is also available, although they are still in contract and are an obvious downgrade.

2020-12-29 12:32

will sunny still join the roster?

2020-12-28 18:28

they need more firepower

2020-12-28 18:34

FUCK WHAT DO I DO WITH MY FLAIR NOW

2020-12-28 19:27

They NEED EMI ffs

2020-12-28 19:54

NoChance -> SMASH -> GODSENT -> FunPlus Phoenix rly ?

2020-12-28 19:57

Whats wrong? NoChance was mix team that got picked by shitty org (SMASH) after tryout in SMASH they moved Under GODSENT and now FPX want buyout them Nothing wrong man

2020-12-28 20:13

Good news! Good luck to the team!

2020-12-28 20:01

Nice. Gl

2020-12-28 21:50

Feels bad for emi, he really wanted to prove his worth with this line-up, I was really hoping that he would claim karrigan scalp, the last missing in his Danish IGL collection.

2020-12-28 22:40

:( gl to peca, hope emi reunite with otto, espi and shipz

2020-12-28 22:42

gl to FPX

2020-12-28 23:34

This team has been looking really good, nice signing from FPX.

2020-12-29 02:00

#FEELSBAD, GODSENT has the sickest meaning and logo in the whole cs imo /:

2020-12-29 02:38

Good luck FPX! Pretty good team! But wish we had Godsent stickers((

2020-12-29 04:27

this will end badly. And I Hope so.

2020-12-29 06:26

And Kassad as coach

2020-12-29 13:13

godsent will sign a brazilian roster my mens)))

2020-12-29 14:50

cool

2020-12-29 22:46

Interesting.

2020-12-30 20:54

Honestly em1 is the better option for em. His IGL skills just bring much more to the table. He will make a huge impact when he settles in. Easy choice imo.
