fnatic sign Jackinho

12/1/2021 - 19:03

The Swedish team have brought in a new AWPer to finalise their roster after the departure of Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist.

fnatic have finalized their lineup ahead of the 2021 season with the addition of Jack "⁠Jackinho⁠" Ström Mattsson. The 21-year-old sniper with limited international experience showed promise in domestic competition, prompting Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim and co. to pick him up as they looked to rejuvenate the team.

"Joining fnatic, wow... I'm really honoured and I'm really proud", the youngster said in the announcement video, in which he also praised the player he replaced, flusha. "He is someone I have a lot of respect for, but I will try my best to contribute with my strengths."

JW will stay the main AWPer of fnatic for the time being

Jackinho added that he played quite a bit with Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin over the last year, outside of the team environment. "We have a good natural chemistry, I'd say". Additionally, he posted a TwitLonger, explaining his thoughts at the moment:

"There is one part of me that is still trying to realize that I have achieved one of my biggest dreams and then there is the other part that is hungry and eager to learn, improve and achieve great things with this team for this organisation. This is just the beginning and I can’t wait to tackle this challenge in 2021."

With different mixtures of Swedish players, Jackinho won three domestic tournaments in 2020: Svenska Elitserien Spring 2020, Doritos Open 2, and Yalla Cup Winter. He averaged a 1.29 rating over 15 maps played in the year, although he did not face a single team inside the top 50.

With 48.8% of his total kills being with the "Big Green", Jackinho was expected take over the main AWP role for fnatic, which would see Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell change back to a rifling role which he played at different points in his career. However, the youngster has confirmed in an interview that the 25-year-old will continue wielding the AWP for the time being, while Jackinho tries out new roles.

"From the beginning, I will not play the AWP but JW will continue with it, and I will try some new roles. But it is a dialogue I had with the coach and our IGL and we have laid out a plan of what we think will work best", Jackinho said.

fnatic are now:

Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell
Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin
Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim
Jack "⁠Jackinho⁠" Ström Mattsson

Andreas "⁠Samuelsson⁠" Samuelsson (coach)

Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist (inactive)

Best of luck!

2021-01-13 17:46

JW Is not bad, that Fnatic has been underperforming during online play was to be suspected. The roster has been playing lan for a long time and the ones performing online are the younger generation Brollan and Golden who both play more pugs then the og's. Calling JW bad is just wrong.

The interesting point is that Jackinho will take over the main awp role. Would be interesting to see how JW performs now.

"for the time being". Read it yourself before talking shit. He's gonna end up awping anyway otherwise it wouldnt make sense to pick him up.

2021-01-13 01:58

phrasing. "For the time being" = not now, perhaps later, but we don't know yet. OPs comment implies that it's definitely happening, which we don't know yet

2021-01-13 02:20

Maybe JW will retire later?

who the fuck lmao

i have a bad feeling about this guy-his stats not so good-when he play against better team the stats could even drop worse

True. But, he is also playing WITH a better team, he can improve a lot.

2021-01-12 19:37

idk mens idk i think its a bad choice

Look on misuta He was the same and now He is great player

2021-01-12 20:47

not every player will be like misuta-he is top quality

2021-01-13 07:48

people said that when other players came in. Some of them still arent fantastic stars but are capable players happy to play the background roles for their top players

2021-01-12 21:16

cause his team had 4 bots with him and now his team has only one fat bot so he'll do fine

2021-01-12 19:40

Not a fat bot, a fat pig. Show some respect

Yes, before picking up the awp

2021-01-12 19:39

WHO???

lets go

Idk who but GL

-JW +Svedjehed

JW to NIP?

Don’t think JW is the right part for NIP, the only thing they need is time and experience(which will com with time). Rifling could be a way for JW to revamp his career and maintain the respect among the community and other pro players.

2021-01-13 01:55

Yea great idea, add a overrated baiter! Sved is a joke only baiting his mates in lilmix to look good, proxxor 100x better

2021-01-12 20:24

A very skilled player mechanically, still 17 years. Qualified to fpl at the age of 14/15. Within a good system Svedjehed could be used in a variety of positions.

2021-01-13 01:50

Another awp baiter/saver or maybe this one is going to add something to a team.

WHO?

lol

jv gone next?

mmm I don't think fnatic will achieve good results with jackinho but GL

He starts his career in fnatic. Risky is a very good word to put it in for fnatic.

Ronaldinho?

PogChamp

-JW next if this kid does well

Nonamer with few matches on hltv Sign this when u have bodenmaster and svedjehead Gj

2021-01-12 19:21

Hhahahahahahahaahahah

Is this no namer kid really the best they could find ? csgo GOAT left and they sign this dude lol Fnatic tier 3 confirmed

Thats what everyone Said about brollan and here we are again bashing on nonamers so patetic by guys like you

2021-01-12 19:57

brollan was not as much nonamer as this guy

2021-01-12 21:03

he kinda was though

2021-01-12 21:26

nah brollan was proven in t2 scene before joining fnatic.

Awesome! flusha is the best, but he have been more miss than hit during these online times and with JW full rifle with mr jACKY boi defending with the green, he could be full on aggro and annoying, compensating for the lack of flushameister. fnatic g2 vit liquid astralis col Much stack, many excitements!

2021-01-12 19:23

Idk man... JW on rifle didn't work out last time. Fnatic tried it out with draken and twist on the awp. Although both were shit, JW didn't have as big of an impact with the rifle. He's should remain the main AWP imo. But let's see what jackinho can do. Fnatic surely needs more firepower.

2021-01-12 23:14

It’s not like JW is any impactful with an AWP.

2021-01-13 03:02

he is. JW AWP > JW rifle

2021-01-14 20:31

If Jackinho is a solid Awper, then there is enough firepower in Krimz and Brollan, and JW just need to play decently.

GOD Golden

2021-01-12 19:55

who the fuck is this guy?

2021-01-12 19:56

Can't comprehend their management to be fair, removing one of their legends just like that... Benching him? He surely deserves better than this kind of treatment. And I mean ok, if you have to change him do it but give him some time and a minimum of respect.

2021-01-12 19:58

fnatic lacks firepower because they have too many IGLs in their team. flusha was obvious to cut. Maybe only brollan and krimz are trying to play.

2021-01-13 05:46

flusha was great and entertaining. It's sad that he left but it's good to give younger players a chance to prove temselves also.

2021-01-12 20:06

let's go

2021-01-12 20:10

must be a very talented guy if he gets signed by fnatic by basically playing almost no official matches

maybe cause he played a lot with brollan and he said he is good

2021-01-12 21:27

Wait who is this? Seriously never heard of him

2021-01-12 20:11

F for Flusha

Never heard of him. Is he good ?

i genuinely want to know where they found this guy. fpl, possibly?

WHOOOOOOOOOO???

2021-01-12 20:45

never heard of him but happy for all of them picking a new player, instead of bringing in some 30 year old, gives the youngster a chance and saves fnatic a lot of money GLHF

2021-01-12 20:48

He looks like genuinely nice guy, I will cheer for him in the future

jackiechan?

2021-01-12 20:57

good fit

2021-01-12 21:05

all the highlights they showed is like from the same 1-2 match he played under 1 tourney.. was it really enough to sign him for fnatic?

2021-01-12 21:01

Good luck!!!

2021-01-12 21:21

2021-01-12 21:25

new blood

expected, i hope he's pretty good and make fnatic beast again.

2021-01-12 21:36

pls dont suck

new star like olofmeister?

2021-01-12 21:37

Idk why but for me he gives the same vibes as Rekkles was for their lol roster. He have a lot of potential.

2021-01-12 21:44

Good luck !

2021-01-12 21:45

wtf who lmao

2021-01-12 21:59

imagine keeping JW to rifle LOL Fnatic care more about merch selling than winning

2021-01-12 22:00

1.03 rating on tier 986897916649497689 and he's better than flusha?

2021-01-12 22:12

no one said he was better than flusha

2021-01-12 22:32

Jackin-WHO

2021-01-12 22:48

2021-01-12 22:50

let me think for a while Flusha was lurker/support Jackinho is awper and i'll take the position from JW JW have an extreme big ego, he would't play as support, even because he misses tons of simple smokes And this guy is famous by rushing and being agressive, how would he play as lurker? would krimz or golden do this position? and if they do, who would be the support? This move dosen't make sense to me, -JW would've be way more simple to adapt, and even if Fnatic find a way to adapt this, they i'll take at least 6 months

2021-01-12 22:57

Great analysis from someone who didn’t even read the article.

2021-01-13 02:48

i read that he would try new roles, but why the fuck they brought an young awp star to play rifle and support roles? there's a lot of solid rifles in sweden right now that would be way faster to adapt

2021-01-13 13:51

That I can agree with, but let's see, maybe Jackinho is also good with rifles.

2021-01-13 13:52

i think he could be good with rifle, but will take a lot of time to adapt, hopefully i'm wrong

2021-01-13 02:34

jackinho is like br say wtf kkkk

2021-01-13 02:39

Not sure why they would pick an awper. Awpers always have the better stats and when youve got a 48% kills with it... idk. And a 1.29 rating vs tier 50+ teams and barely any hltv recorded maps (about 15) its a weird signing. My guess is that they saw potential and that he played with brollan. I think brollan recommended him. Its going to be fun to see how he does for sure. New swedish talent 💪🏻 Lets get back to the top

2021-01-13 02:57

what a joke nice player without any exp on hltv matches and not playing fpl/fplc

2021-01-13 03:55

it's possible

2021-01-13 04:46

I suppose he plays SPL.. The Swedish fpl...

2021-01-13 05:36

Well by the way he talks, you can tell he sounds a lot like most Fnatic players tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if they picked him up because of his personality more than anything. Best of luck either way.

2021-01-13 05:42

Good signing! Can’t wait to see what he can do for fnatic

2021-01-13 05:49

he is pretty known in the swedish scene

2021-01-13 19:41

Give him the big green and let JW rekt people with riffle
