Jumpy joins fnatic as coach

22-8-2016 15:25

fnatic have announced that Jimmy "Jumpy" Berndtsson has been installed as the team's new coach.

The 29-year-old will take over from Viktor "⁠vuggo⁠" Jendeby, who announced at the weekend that he was transitioning to a manager/analyst role within the organisation.

Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson, who played for teams like Volt Gaming, Begrip and Meet Your Makers in 1.6, had moderate success as a player during the early stages of CS:GO and ended up embracing a career as a coach.

Jumpy to coach fnatic's team

After little over four months on Escape Gaming, during which he also played when needed, Jumpy has now been entrusted with the task of guiding the new fnatic roster, which recently saw the additions of John "⁠wenton⁠" Eriksson, Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson and Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson.

"I am excited to be working with such talented players and be a part of one of the most successful organisations in eSports," Berndtsson said in a statement.

"I think we can do some really good things together.”

Jumpy's first event on the job will be the SL i-League StarSeries Season 2 Finals, which will take place from September 7-11 in Nanjing, China, with $300,000 on offer.

The Swedish team now have:

Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer
Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman
John "⁠wenton⁠" Eriksson
Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson
Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson

Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson (coach)

Too bad valve rekt the coaching model

9 replies

Nope, they didn't rekt the "coaching" model, only the "coach as IGL" model. I can't recall any sport or e-sport where the coach is shotcalling. In some games like LoL, the coach isn't even allowed to stand behind the player but is watching the game from the big screen like a random guy

+1 Plus, he's a coach, not a 6th player, he might help them with scrims, travels, making sure they are all well, keeping the team together, but he's not an actual player in the game, I personally don't like the fact that some teams have a starix as their coach and others have next(envyus), next is an actual coach, while starix is a 6th player. Remember, my opinion, don't hate me too much for actually saying what I think about the situation. Cheers

next is more a manager than a coach

2016-08-22 16:09

That's exactly what I said

2016-08-22 16:26

Fml... my French colleagues always rek me now you start rekting me on the web.. What is it with these French people..

What the fuck fnatic doing

Coaching role is no more now, good move?

Coaching will be there just as much as before, just not during the games but strats, setups, anti-strats, rotations and all dat needs to still be figured out.

He's been playing GO since the start though, and he was always coaching some lower tier teams when he wasn't a player.

afaik jumpy has played continuously since the start of go

2016-08-22 19:12

How can you be swede and not even know that jumpy has been around the CSGO since the beginning ? He never quitted, he wasn't just good enough to be a part of a top team and always played in subtop teams

2016-08-22 15:42

2016-08-22 15:49

He just left a sinking ship that is "female cs".

2016-08-22 15:52

"Flusha: He (VUGGO) never got any respect from Olof and Dennis while he was trying out as caller for the team so it might have been in some of the players interest."

useless anyway

2016-08-22 15:50

2016-08-22 15:51

beeeeeeep booooooop

2016-08-22 16:16

rofl wtf is this? what can he offer as a coach? hasnt achieved anything himself gg it was fun while it lasted fnatic, seeya tier 17

2016-08-22 16:19

What does his achievements have to do with his ability to coach? Did you know that Jose Murinho played football in Portugese second division, yet he's regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time?

2016-08-22 16:28

thats a shitty comparison...

2016-08-22 16:33

Clearly is crushes your argument

Your brain is fat, i win. see ya

2016-08-22 16:41

Same logic, what could vuggo offer as a coach (an LE player)?

2016-08-23 08:57

Good luck boys!

Jumpy who?

2016-08-22 16:29

So many idiots not understanding the changes that Valve made to coaching. They didn't fucking ruin it or take it away, they actually just made sure that it stayed as a coaching role and stopped the coaching becoming IGL's, which is an IN GAME role. I'm actually so annoyed that people don't understand the difference.

LOL

Nt gipsy

2016-08-22 16:35

hahahaha

2016-08-22 16:36

i think fnatic will be better than godsent now.

2016-08-22 17:11

2016-08-22 17:15

2016-08-22 17:41

-wenton +Maikelele

2016-08-22 17:46

EXPECTED

2016-08-22 17:53

jumpy is so shit! he will do nothing but bring fnatic down even more. RIP fnatic

2016-08-22 17:54

I so don't believe anymore in fnatic even if they have 3 of the finest swedish stars. If they want to win majors they better study LG's teamplay a lot because individually speaking, I really don't see wenton or Lekr0 performing. Nevertheless, if both of them are in the fnatic squad it's because someone judged they have the potential to be major champions. Or not?

2016-08-22 18:24

everyone saying RIP fnatic for Jumpy as the new coach clearly joined the cs community only a couple of years ago. Jumpy as always been a solid player and IGL. This is a great addition imo!

2016-08-22 18:25

Everything is changing but nip still same FeelsBadMan

2016-08-22 19:07

So amusing anyone gives a shit about this heh

2016-08-22 19:16

I agree -wenton but is rain really better? I know he's more skilled but does he put it to practice and if so, how often? Not too much from what I see in faze... lekr0 I've no idea what he's going to end up with.

2016-08-22 19:44

vuggo to SK

Olof for Nip right now!!!!!!

2016-08-22 20:51
