fnatic down to two players after benching ALEX and poizon

21/5/2022 - 12:02

Only Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson and William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman now remain on the active roster, around whom the organization will build a new team.

fnatic have announced that they have moved Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin and Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev to inactive status and that Peppe "⁠Peppzor⁠" Borak has returned to the fnatic Rising academy squad.

The move leaves the active lineup with just two players, KRIMZ and mezii, who have been the highest performers for the team in 2022 with a 1.03 and 1.07 rating, and fnatic are now heading for another overhaul after having made several changes over the past three months.

Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield was the first to leave the roster in late February and the team went on to trial Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău and poizon for his replacement. Just before qualifiers for the PGL Major began fnatic were dealt another heavy blow when their star player, Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin, was bought out by NIP, and Peppzor came in from the academy team at the last minute.

ALEX joined fnatic last August

Despite having little time with the new players fnatic managed to qualify for the Regional Major Ranking event and surprised many with a playoffs finish at ESL Pro League Season 15, but since then their results have taken a turn for the worse. They were eliminated from the RMR itself in 12th-14th place and missed out on a spot at the Major before also failing to qualify for IEM Dallas.

It's unclear where the organization will turn for replacements, but, as always, the Major is certain to shake things up and put players on the market. Some have already made early moves and announced plans of changes, with the most notable being OG benching Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså while reports suggest that Nikolaj "⁠niko⁠" Kristensen is also out of the roster.

fnatic are in a race against time to put together a new team, as they have been invited to compete in the Pinnacle Cup Championship taking place in Lund, Sweden, in a little over two weeks (June 8-11).

fnatic's roster looks as follows:

Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman

Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin (inactive)
Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev (inactive)

Mezii stays goated

Didn't they move him to the active roster ? He got covid and they replaced him with poizon and after one life game they gave him a deal. Pretty stupid imo.

Aslong as he is active in the academy team he will get his shot. Maybe its not in fnatic but i believe in the kid :()

Hltv has not updated, but he said that he is not contracted to fnatic anymore and he is on a break until he finishes high-school this summer. Idk if they will re-sign him or he goes to other team.

regali is terrible

2022-05-21 12:50

He's not that good do

Exactly.. they signed poizon rofl. They deserve the situation that they are in rn

2022-05-21 12:30

Wtf are they even doing at this point. Embarrassing.

2022-05-21 12:46

Trust me, they don’t know what they are doing… That’s why they ended up in this mess in the first place

2022-05-21 12:51

To much trust on fluke alex i guess, thought carn was smarter than this thou

LOL and they have a torny in 2 weeks lol

2022-05-22 00:33

Rare truthium moment by notorious hltv user David_Beckham.

2022-05-21 14:15

The point is that smooya>>>>>jackinho,poizon

2022-05-21 14:46

smooya didn't have one match of his life, he was carrying in 2021 then in 2022 his performance dropped, but so did everyone's and he was still their 2nd best performer

2022-05-21 17:11

they should never of benched him

2022-05-23 23:26

i knew Fnatic was done for when they removed smooya. ruined a good team

2022-05-21 17:20

Agree

2022-05-22 00:35

ong

2022-05-21 21:33

poizon is beast but he needs good teammates around him, not bots like peppzor or other player from academy

2022-05-22 22:30

ok fnatic can finally win now

alex career was made by that french player, so you can see in his project on cloud9 and this one how bad he actually was

You clearly have no idea, please stop commenting. You're an embarrassment to yourself

And then? Finding loose pieces again. Just pickup a cohesive squad

2022-05-21 12:05

7 replies

Its pretty expensive having to poach squad especially after the major except cphf, fnatic might sign another free agent as usual and the cycle continue

2022-05-21 12:07

just sell the 4 players they have and sign CPHF, might aswell make profit with that

2022-05-21 12:18

Sell to who? To pawnshop who will buy any player at any time?

2022-05-21 12:22

mezii and krimz are still valuable and probably could get sold ehen the post major shuffle starts, not sure about alex and poizon tho

2022-05-21 14:01

mezii to OG KRiMZ to NiP Sign CPH Flames or Outsiders (Will probably go to trash without Yekindar)

2022-05-23 06:55

CPF are going to most likely disband according to interview during the major

2022-05-21 18:18

For me, their best options it to buyoout some mouz nxt pieces. Siuhy for entry IGL. Maybe mhL for awp. The last one could be xertion, jks, valde, mir, lolipop

2022-05-21 18:40

True but I feel like they could sell them and just invest in more academy players or something Krimz for Plopski, Mezii for Valde maybe?

2022-05-21 17:35

Wtf, why would Plopski want to join fnatic?

2022-05-22 00:37

I shouldn't have said for, that implies a trade, I meant as a replacement for

2022-05-22 13:33

mezii will learn swedish so krimz can come back and destroy everyone

flair checks (or rather the org itself) out but I agree

And buy bne

2022-05-21 12:08

Exactly

2022-05-21 12:37

and buy CPH

2022-05-21 12:14

bots

Top-8 at the Major, and three of your last four replies are shit talking them lmao

2022-05-21 17:37

flag checks out

2022-05-23 09:11

Just make it a full Danish team... Talent enough available.

or CIS... those 2 have some of the biggest and best pool of talent holy fuck

2022-05-21 21:00

They’ve already picked up Nicodoz and Roej

2022-05-22 16:15

source?

2022-05-24 16:44

My friend. He's very close to flames org. So the source is pretty much "trust me bro", but he has been right will all the roster moves he has told me way ahead of any leaks.

2022-05-27 00:10

Wow

LMAO

O.O

just disband if u cant build a proper team, stop wasting their time

There are plenty orgs that can’t “build proper team” doesn’t mean they have to disband.

2022-05-21 12:44

so you want one of the biggest e-sports orgs to leave csgo? you are stupid

2022-05-21 13:34

2022-05-21 22:49

this is fnatic you are talking about

2022-05-21 13:40

Yes just disband every teams that playing so bad then make csgo dead, typical hltv user.

2022-05-21 14:17

they've done this many times, just bizarre to me they aren't just letting them go

2022-05-31 18:16

about time

deserved for kicking RATKING their results with him werent bad, and he was sacrificing himself to make space yet got booted karma striking back also when are orgs going to stop being baited by one exceptionally good series by Poizon ? he is shite in like 8 out of 10 games

15 replies

tbf to Fnatic he was free and did have a good tournament in Pro League. Also, with this move it seemed they were unwilling to further spend in supporting ALEX. at least poizon can perform against any opponent (also not perform at all). Peppzor was just not a good enough player for any team that have their goes above top 25.

Fnatic can only blame themselves as an org for screwing up. Going Intl when their star player didnt want to, kicking the awper a day before the Major qualifiers. They themselves mismanaged and are paying for it.

2022-05-21 12:49

yes and no. They had to go international there isnt any swedish talent right now capable of making the jump unless you will bring back old talent. yeah giving smooya not much time and kicking him after 1 bad LAN when he had tons of pressure on him to perform was idiotic. Overall, mezii and ALEX were a good move and werent expensive while whatever else they were doign was quite stupid.

2022-05-21 13:27

+11111

2022-05-24 00:37

poizon is 110% the biggest paycheck stealer in the scene lmao

2022-05-21 12:09

nah that would be dev + xyp

2022-05-21 13:03

Ratking?

2022-05-21 12:12

smooya

Why smooya called “rat king”?

He looks like a rat

sounds like one too

Yeah but i tought he did something to call him like that

2022-05-21 12:57

no i think it’s just a meme, also he has this scream which people maybe associate with that

2022-05-21 13:24

He is a bot on LAN against competent opponents and no one likes him so there was little reason to not kick him lol.

2022-05-21 13:42

true

2022-05-21 15:07

wow, finally good move.

Hmmm. Ok.

lol

the - certainly a good move already now, +f0rest

Nice, finally!

wtf did ALEX do? Didnt have that great pieces outside of mezii and Brollan. KRIMZ was mostly bad until near the end where he finally stopped being washed and performed. the fuck is he supposed to do with poizon (most inconsistent player on planet earth) and Peppzor who isnt t2 at his best.

26 replies

his calls man. Same issue he had in his other teams. They rarely won games out of calls and good tactics. If they won some players overperformed - that was it. Fnatic need better pieces but they also need an Igl who uses them

16 replies

Who can fill that gap?

8 replies

well since they keep mezzi they will stay international, which is the right decision imo. While I am not sure about it, a relatively low cost idea would be +jkeam +valde +MSL yeah I am not sure about the MSL pick, but I cant see any other good IGL leaving his team soon and I cant think of any other not signed IGL who is kind of decent

2022-05-21 12:48

lmao 3 players that would not change anything in fnatic

2022-05-21 12:55

well i dont think valde was used to his potential in OG so I can see him being an upgrade to anything fnatic had before. jkaem can definetely compete at tier 1.5 cs, maybe even tier 1, but it depends on if he wants to jks could also be an option tho and like I said i rly have no clue for IGL so i chose MSL cus at least he is experienced in getting a team somewhere and is free rn

2022-05-21 13:22

what about AZR?

2022-05-21 13:06

not sure if he still wants to compete outside of AUS? could be an option tho i forgot about him

2022-05-21 13:21

Actually, I have no idea how will join Fnatic. Maybe Michu will join as a rifler, I've read a lot of threads, that he will join some team next week

Oh right i forgot about him. Yeah would be nice if he could show his potential in a decent team finally. But he wasnt too impressive in his last tier 1 stints (although with shit teams tbf)

2022-05-21 15:01

hmm

2022-05-21 17:58

I just love how people blame calls when there are reshuffles in team every month. Also he's pretty structered IGL so they do need time (around 6 months or so to get used to scripts). It's not easy to catch it all on fly.

2022-05-21 13:53

I dont blame calls for every reshuffle. But fnatic clearly wasnt working, just like Alex´s old teams. C9 didnt work, Vitality did kind of work (but Zywoo Factor plays a part) Also having watched fnatics game I just felt like they lost so many games they shouldnt have against lesser opposition. If you loose against EC Kyiev e.g. you cant only blame your individuals cus they should be better realistically. If you loose against such a team its because your individuals are not having the right tacticts to outplay individual skill of the enemy team. Thats what leads me to thinking the calls were a problem. Alex without having to IGL would actually help him imo, he played better when he was playing loose.

2022-05-21 15:06

Dude E.C. Kiyv has defeated CPH Flames so there's no wonders fnatic lost against them. Also they lost to E.C. Kiyv after another reshuffle. That's it. You can't expect a team to be working perfectly after 2 months together. And that's the point: E.C. Kiyv play together for over a year now when fnatic were 2 months together. There will be obvious difference in teamplay. Also, C9 actually started working but then there was smth wrong again that was not depended on ALEX, I don't really remember the situation. My point is people blame ALEX for things do not really depend on him. And they don't give him enough time to make it all work.

2022-05-21 18:55

"E.G Kiyv" Yes, they shuffled around whole time and it never rly worked out. But calls were bad every single time. With every single roster. For me that depends on the IGL of a team. You had those bad calls on Vitality, C9 and Fnatic. I personally just dont think Alex should be IGL. He definetely understands the game and CAN make teams work and CAN be prepared for enemy teams but in the end I feel like its not good enough for high tier CS. MAybe he can be second caller while playing entry on a team with another IGL. I dont think he is a bad player at all, just not a high tier IGL :)

2022-05-21 19:37

Dude, you can't make good calls on fly if you're structured IGL. You want everything to be structured. But then one of your teammates fail to do what you need to do because there's not enough understanding yet and it all messes up. That was the issue IMO. His calls are good when everyone in the team knows _EXACTLY_ what to do on particular situations. So I know that in some time they would be a good roster but somehow people think it's gotta work super fast.

2022-05-22 02:12

I dont even think Alex had a 5 man roster in Fnatic, did he? They kept changing it every month.

2022-05-22 00:43

Exactly! They had stable lineup for just like a month or so after signing poizon.

2022-05-22 02:13

they said it's a mutual agreement. maybe Alex has some offers?

2022-05-21 12:45

mutual agreement in these cases always mean "not bad blood after doing it"

2022-05-21 13:16

yeah that's true i guess.

I mean I guess ALEX found a new squad? Tho if he did just announce the transfer. sounds like Fnatic doesnt want to pay salary and no one else is paying buyout so they just send him packing

2022-05-21 13:28

I think there must be a clash between ALEX and someone above, maybe Samuelsson because, there's no way this is just his performance, when management keep plonking random players in and out of the squad

2022-05-21 13:30

I mean he has overperformed with the pieces given in my opinion. tho its weird they are willing to keep mezii. So they want to stay international but think there is a better igl option than ALEX? idk you may be right either ALEX or Fnatic themselves are no longer willing to work. tho now we are just making random guesses. Maybe ALEX found a new team to join.

2022-05-21 13:32

I think mezii is going to OG too if the rumours are true.

damn at that point its just a full rebuild. but doesnt make sense. I mean Krimz mezii ALEX are a good core :/

2022-05-21 15:22

yeah agreed, the problem wasn't Alex but i guess fnatic wanted to go a different direction. let's see.

+nicoodoz

12 replies

Don't ruin nicoodoz like that wtf!

I didn't! Blame Flames and fnatic!

2022-05-21 12:11

What are you implying?! Falmes is better than Fnatic!!

2022-05-21 12:13

#58

Well it's just a possibility there's still hope

Since fnatic is now releasing this benching info, I'm sure they have the new roster ready and will announce soon

2022-05-21 12:16

But maybe they went with another option?? Or they're making the announcement now only because it's roster changes period very soon

Maybe, but +HooXi and +nicoodoz would make sense since it's AWP'er and IGL direct replacements

2022-05-21 12:19

Well it does... Although they need a replacement for brollan too

2022-05-21 12:21

+valde?

2022-05-21 12:26

Same thing I thought, but article doesn't say anything about hooxi right? So that's a lot of speculation

2022-05-21 12:27

Run through Google translate dust2.dk/nyheder/28786/rygtes-til-fnatic..

Forest, Heap, Jks maybe?

They also need awper, so like get hallzerk instead of Jks and make mezzii start talking in Swedish, since everyone else is fluent at Swedish, or they can always pick up draken instead of hallzerk

2022-05-21 12:20

Swedish is easy to learn for danes… don’t know about a brit though

Hallzerk isn't T1 material, Dignitas gave him a lot of time to finally have his breakthrough and never really got there.

2022-05-21 13:17

Ez paycheck stealing from poizon

+flusha +JW +pronax

+ HEAP/f0rest + hallzerk + ztr or LNZ as IGL + devilwalk as coach

LNZ as igl? kkkk

2022-05-21 12:10

He was igl in young ninjas

2022-05-21 12:39

thought that was ztr?

When ztr was playing in main roster, LNZ was IGL. And vice versa.

2022-05-21 13:01

yeah u are right, wouldnt say he is igl by choice though

smooya back on fnatic????

I have a gut feeling NBK will join as IGL

Please no

just sign gamingbutiken

Fits with the report from Dust2.dk that Fnatic is in talks with Nicoodoz from CPH Flames.

after all, woxic was right about c9...

What did he say?

2022-05-21 14:05

he was the biggest problem for c9 project. ofc woxic didn't say anything like this but it's obvious that.

2022-05-21 14:45

Ok? What players could end up in fnatic ?

ALL free agents or benched nbk boros valde niko jks heap michu AZR MSL Bubzkji Obo Zehn Oskar ISSAA AMANEK mir Allu Acor

2022-05-21 23:57

Isaa is a valoranter Obo does play little cs and i can see him in liquid or complexity if liquid buy someone from col, but this kid corrupted his reputation by leaving complexity so i doubt Jason Lake would want to work sith him again Qicker spoke about cis shuffle so mir probably join some cis team Allu, Acor=<poizon so doubt

2022-05-22 03:52

KEKW

Welcome nbk boros and Jamppi

possible

2022-05-21 19:33

How do you say "wtf" in swedish?

Vad i helvete!

2022-05-22 01:34

Somehow i know this , thanks to Pewdiepie lol

2022-05-23 05:36

good job, ALEX had his work cut out, he did his best. Now they kept mezii, at least something good came out of this FNC roster :) interesting to see what happens

poizon rip

just disband, who wouldve thought fnatic would be a tier 3 team 2 years ago lmao

ALEX shouldn't have barked

Hahaha

Now jks

Entertain me by telling me what team needs to pick up ALEX and buy him for a few 100k

Mouz -dexter +ALEX 300k for his signing

mouz will not spend that much money on an IGL who has nothing to show for over two years

2022-05-21 15:42

Not even for few 100k, maybe for few 1k to some tier 2,3 team. All tier 1 teams are pretty much set with igls. Only G2 has the problem with igls, but at this point NiKo is better igl than alex.

2022-05-21 19:16

Alex is one of the best if not the best and most underused IGLs...

2022-05-26 23:19

Get CPHG Flames already.

Yea why didnt they drop whole team and sign the Flames ?

2022-05-22 00:49

TY FNATIC, THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU AFTER ALL <3

FINALLY YOU KICK ALEX, WHY DID YOU EVER PICK HIM UPPPP, WASTED OVER A YEAR(?) AND TURNED SWEDISH GOAT TEAM INTO AN INTERNATIONAL GARBAGE TEAM. Your only options now are.. releasing krimz so he can join nip and play with brollan once more, while they also add back devve, over plopski and es3tag. And fnatic.... can go full Danish with Valde,Kjaerbye,MSL and a shit ton of other guys... maybe buy some FALMES guys. The other option is a new Swedish young gun team like HELLSLAYERS. But the third and best option would be the Swedish kings back in fnatic flusha -100% JW -100% olofmeister -100&% dennis(?) f0rest(?) HEAP(?) GRUX(?) GOLDEN(?) TWIST(?) YOUNG TALENT(?)

30 replies

flusha, JW and golden flopped already, no chance!

10 replies

dont care, even fallen/fer/fnx managed 9-11th place with fnx being pure bot. JW FLUSHA OLOFMEISTER +2 would be top8 for sure this major.

JW still has it, flusha best Swedish igl other than hampus, Olof I guess if he doesn't want to retire sure but if he does +krimz, f0rest best pickup for them, heap for fifth is great

flusha igl jw awp olofmeister superstar/second awp f0rest heap wpgg

Ikr ez top 10, they can even make playoffs since all of them are T1 players or at least T1 material, Olof would be more like entry/support tho

2022-05-21 12:29

Hell naw, olofm must return to his superstar role, otherwise this team might be lacking s0me firepower. I have legit higher faith in olofm taking that role over HEAP and ofc f0rest/JW.

2022-05-21 12:43

Bruh JW has been washed for years. Nawwk or draken would be better options

Agreed with draken not Nawwk tho

Well yes if you want to make a proper Swedish team like that then I suppose... flusha IGL Krimz +1 young ninjas/Hellslayers/elsewhere/HEAP +1 young ninjas/Hellslayers/elsewhere/HEAP nawwk awp..sadly.

I just don’t think fnatic will give the core of JW/flusha/krimz another go, doesn’t seem realistic

2022-05-21 12:59

There is still money to be made there, they have fans as well (IMPERIAL, dignitas sort of thing), but this core can legit still win tier1 events with the right duo added. JW AWP only question, maybe if he can rifle and find goat swe awp.

2022-05-21 13:18

Flusha-jw-heap wouldnt be the worst idea but wonder how lonely that would make mezii feel.

13 replies

mezii will not be in the team. This won't be an international shit lineup, hopefully fnatic learned their lesson and goes full SWE/DANE/BNE lineup.

He is on the team, he is one of the two players they kept. Didnt you read the article?

nope and us fans wont return for an another lineup like, say "MSL" "MEZII" "KRIMZ" "JKS" "VALDE" just horrendous, give us a proper 5man team, not another random mixbag of eurotrash.

2022-05-21 12:24

Well things rarely turns out they way you want it to. I also do not like all of these random doomed to failed eu mix teams you cant even remember 1 day after they dissolve.

2022-05-21 12:34

well.. fnatics loss, we fans aint returning then. I removed my flair and warned them on day 1(SPAMMED HLTV), now if they dont listen 1y later.. pfft.

hltv.org/stats/lineup?lineup=3055&lineup.. What about this fnatic, you like?

It makes me wet, you can also swap mr jaaydubbz for Sapec/olofm/f0rest/another youngester Chawzyyy awp

2022-05-21 17:52

Want bigger, better things for forest :) hltv.org/stats/lineup?lineup=7412&lineup..

2022-05-21 17:59

gross, but also kinda kewl.

2022-05-21 18:29

He deserves a better team then what is possible in the Swedish scene right now with nip hoarding the best players. + the lack of good igl's.

2022-05-21 18:43

lack of igls AND awps.

2022-05-21 19:32

have you been watching fnatics moves this whole time? they are gonna fuck up again my guy. just watch.

2022-05-21 13:00

I KNOWWWWWWWWW, but kicking ALEX is at least SOMETHING.

+1 UKCS cannot and will not work, ever

2022-05-21 15:43

Why would a few flames guys make the move to fnatic individually. They should just get the entire roster

2022-05-21 15:44

I mean buy the entire falmes team and then add one or two guys for example valde and msl. Not saying its an improvment, but that is what COL should have done back then, sign falmes and then kick hooxi/+1 for blamef and k0nfig, ez clap.

2022-05-21 15:58

Why would you mess up a good major contending team in the flames? Any org without a team contending should sign the entire Flames squad, its that easy.

2022-05-22 00:51

Thanks for saving me time explaining this

2022-05-22 20:03

+JW +flusha +olof

Nicodozz Roej Dunno some entry fragger

roej is an entry fragger

They need a good igl but not hooxi

2022-05-21 13:47

Valde could igl

2022-05-21 14:31

+1000%

Just imagine JW returning. He would 100% deserve that

2022-05-22 01:35

For tier 2 or 3 team I assume?

2022-05-23 19:35

Krimz biggest paycheck stealer

-1 Krimz will soon join nip and you say stuff like that, bruh.

wtf

2022-05-22 00:54

Krimz is probably identical to Rain on Faze. He just needs a team to unlock his true potential, just like Karrigan has done with Rain

2022-05-23 19:36

-fnatic +Party Astronauts NA copium smile

PwnAlone would rekt T2 EU bots , lets go PA to Fnatic soon!

Please for the love of god stop signing washed or old "talents" and instead go for a younger hungry roster Im tired of seeing amazing teams like Spirit, ENCE, Copenhagen Flames etc. finding amazing young talents and just seeing fnatic signing the likes of Poizon again, like cmon, lets have some ambition for one of the premier CSGO orgs

KRiMZ jks mezii flusha jw

Just sell Krimz and Mezi for good money cuz they're good players and sign BNE lineup

Bnexddd

Reply needs to have actual content

Really smart moove.

2022-05-21 13:45

Finally, someone with a good idea

2022-05-22 00:56

yeah we can't defend Alex anymore. i thought he was unfairly booted off vitality and c9 was a shitshow. but he had the keys in fnatic and blew it. hopefully his rep isn't ruined completely

The thing is.. HE LEFT VITALITY or something like that for not wanting to travel or some shit, AND ORGS STILL PICK HIM UP AFTER THAT?????? Obo I could almost forgive, but him? GET OUTTA HEREEEEEEEEEEE

I remember that he left vitality on his own accord becasue he couldnt deal with the overwhealming amount of traveling they were doing back then.

funnily after he left COVID happened and everything went online...

Yeah.. Its a bit ironic xD

Alex the org destroyer)))

They should have disbanded after ef defeat

Dignitas players incoming?

HEAP would be a great addition

2022-05-22 01:36

Yea, even Hallzerk as awp tbh

2022-05-22 10:46

Truee

2022-05-22 18:48

test and add some academy players

poizon benched?

drop the roster sign CPF or BNE...preferably BNE

Lets go this is good for our scene.

Maybe give the guy a stable roster for a while before judging his performance mm?

lmao. you talk like he hasnt had the chance of making rosters over the years and compete. he is shite IGL you just have to accept it.

2022-05-21 13:02

You think if ALEX had any control over the roster he would be swapping out players every 3 months? C9 and FNC were simply managed to death

ALEX finally got kicked for his barking lmfao

What the fuck are they doing? kicking every player after like a month?

Kicking poizon after a month. Alex played in fnatic for almost a year

2022-05-22 01:37

Bad News Eagle???

You mean peppzor returned to academy not banjo

ALEX worst mistake was leaving Vitality lmao

shouldnt have kicked smooya

Shouldn't have brought Alex in the first place

2022-05-21 12:28

Predictable

Well they actually have a chance to really rebuild now. Maybe give a shot and let mezii IGL if he's up to the task, he seems like a smart player and he doesn't look like he is an ego maniac like some other players so it could work. I only wish that they go the path of ence and actually give a chance to less experienced players and try to build something from the ground up.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Cringe name KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

We aren't talking about yours

wtf is going on??!?!?!?

fnatic is a joke (org) at this point.

finally disband

2022-05-21 12:32

Poor sweed fans

+valde +NBK as IGL +some young star AWP - deko maybe, or mhL, jamppi??

2022-05-21 12:33

i have said and will keep saying, should have never kicked golden. the team has been down and down hill since

They had dropped from #1 in the world to #30 in the world over the course of a year with Golden by the time he got kicked. He was also averaging about a 0.80 rating, which is literally as bad as it gets. If you don't kick someone then you have got serious problems

2022-05-21 13:44

and if you sign a core from the UK you will also have problems

I mean they got mezii, hes actually potentially top 10 in the world if a good team was build around him.

2022-05-22 23:19

alex hahahahahahahahaha and free krimz plz

ez 4 krimz

They should buy the BNE lineup. With support staff around them, I can see this team becoming a constant playoffs contenter before the next major.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Excited to see whats in store.

Sooner or later was gonna happen.

2022-05-21 12:36

Get kenny cabron

smooya was the problem

Amanek maybe? Jks if he wants to join a tier 2 team? Nbk? w0nderful? Valde? Mir? Niko? There are options for fnatic and will be even more after the Major, let's see what they come up with this time

tier 2 team? KEKW

2022-05-21 13:04

So you're saying this previous fnatic roster was tier 1?

2022-05-21 13:08

no, im saying they are tier 3-4 at best and thats what they will keep being

2022-05-21 13:11

Oh that makes more sense

Fnatic f0rest

2022-05-21 12:42

JOKE ORG

maybe fnatic will sign the composition of navi after the electronics kick and the whole team will go after him?

and what would their interest in this be? NAVI is the best org in EU BY FAR

2022-05-21 13:05

God bless Fnatic and the legendary Swedish CS

Fnatic looks like a Reality Show, each day a participant eliminated, in the case benched

fnatic SNAX, MICHU

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

lunatics

Fnatic about to bring back Flusha and JW lmao

jks lets go

Time to bring floosha back its either no fnatic or fnatic with mr flushel

Swedish team Krimz - support Plopski ( dev1ce back at nip ) - rifler / lurker Nawwk - AWP Ztr - IGL / entry Lekro - entry - Danish team Bubzkji - lurker Lucky - entry / 2nd awp Acor - Awp Xyp9x - Supoort ( valde comming to astralis ) Gade - IGL - entry Mix team Krimz - support Bubzkji - lurker Lucky - rifler / 2nd awp jkaem - entry MSL - AWP - IGL

F0rest hopefully

finally they bench useless bot alex. poizon was decent before officially signed.after that he's a paycheck stealer.

gg or what

At what point do we start pointing fingers at Krimz? This squad has been in constant rebuild the last 3 years. And the only constant the team has had is Krimz, sure he is a legend and a great performing player. But the teams keep falling apart. This needs to be addressed.

2022-05-21 12:52

Realistically they could also add jame as an IGL+Awp, FLIT and Yekindar, could actually work since most csgo pros nowadays are well versed with English so comma shouldnt be an issue

Expected

lmao

Good! Alex was the problem for sure

+f0rest +jks +Decent awp

LMAO WTF HAHA

just buy bne already

Sign phzy, ztr and lnz

lol fnatic are so naive they signed poizon after just 1 map overperforming+fluke and then signed a bunch of kids. this is messed up and embarassing regarding the past of this org susch a waste lol i feel mostly for krimz man the most consistent one in this lineup besides alex maybe and kinda mezzi the rest are dogshit same goes for the manager xD

Alex was never a good option tbh. He sucked at Vitality, sucked at C9 and now Fnatic.

i smell valde

peppzoro should stay actually

2022-05-21 15:55

What a waste of talent needless to say, everything went downhill when they felt the need to kick smooya. Maybe if KRIMZ doesn't like him, they should just kick KRIMZ and rebuild around the UK core of him, mezii, and ALEX.

2022-05-21 16:16

Fantic management on suicide watch

dead project

2022-05-21 16:17

May as well just disband and start again

2022-05-21 16:33

ALEX benched again? lmao xd

2022-05-21 17:13

Regali and KST are not longer playing for Fnatic Rising ... so would be interesting to see what they have for this team because they missing 3 players from the main team and 2 players from academy team .... maybe they should have transfered LauNX but i reckon is better for him in Sprout than in Fnatic Rising .

Free Poizon,

Fraud Alex finally exposed for what he is, i'm crying tears of joy

2022-05-21 17:49

i think Alex will return to vitality replacing misutaa, and make the greatest comeback with his most valuable strat: "zywoo go kill"

2022-05-21 17:54

interesting

Omg, this org.

2022-05-21 18:12

bruh just signed & bench ppl like nothing happenD

2022-05-21 18:20

Pain.

2022-05-21 18:21

fnatic should just leave csgo lol, Smooya kick was the final nail.

2022-05-21 18:49

*smooya kick was first step to recovery

2022-05-21 19:18

They have had no chance at anything they have tried since kicking Smooya. But "final nail" was definitely wrong. Losing Brollan was the big hit, but of course letting Peppzor play also decreases their chance.

Yep brollan the snake leaving was a huge blow to fnatic but they couldnt really do anything about it i guess, to much player power.. But I didnt rate alex so glad to see him go, krimz and mezi are 2 playes i can easily get behind. If they get 3 new promising players who knows what they can achieve. Fnatic org are really idiots tho so roster probably will turn out even worse than peppzor, poizon and alex

2022-05-21 19:40

Fnatic was better than teams like EnCE and spirit and consistently beating them with smooya. If they had stuck with him , maybe they would have made it to the major

2022-05-21 23:16

they can trade alex for C9's roster and c9 can build another colossus

2022-05-21 19:04

Fnatic woxic

2022-05-21 19:05

Yes Fnatic kick your IGL and AWPer because there's just so many of those in the scene right now.

2022-05-21 19:26

Without ALEX, Mezii isn't going to stay. Krimz is getting old, he's the one who needs replacing. Poizon I can understand, plenty to say about his attitude, though it's a bit sad because skill-wise he's great. Imo they should let ALEX and Mezii build a team.

2022-05-23 08:48

should do it earlier tbf, but atleast he's not there anymore thats still good thing for him.

2022-05-23 08:49

Yea I also feel like he should‘ve left when Alex and Mezi were brought to Fnatic. The whole Fnatic situation is in a horrible state right now and I think they should just pick up a team as a whole and stop trying to build something that is just going to fail hard again.

2022-05-23 08:56

maybe back then the offer didn't come yet, pretty sure if Nip offer come earlier he would be gone asap before fnatic going international line up lol yeah fnatic better sign a whole team rather than try to build because i just feel they didn't know shit about building team in these past couple years, the fact they give poizon a contract are just tell everything about it lol

2022-05-23 09:19
