fnatic release academy team

1-10-2018 22:24

fnatic and their academy team have decided to go their separate ways, the UK-based organisation have announced.

In a press release, fnatic justified the move with Valve's new stance on multiple team ownership, which came into effect during the qualifiers for the FACEIT Major and forbids teams and players from having "any financial interest in the success" of a competitor.

The announcement brings an end to a five-month association with the team, who featured four players from the line-up that won the second edition of the GAMERZ reality show.

luckeRRR & co leave fnatic after five months

During their time with the organisation, the team most notably placed top four at Insomnia63, in Birmingham, and finished in second place in ESEA Advanced, missing out on a spot in the MDL division following a 2-0 defeat to Virtus.pro in the relegation stage.

The players will be sticking together but with one change to the roster as Johan "⁠Meddo⁠" Lundborg makes way for ex-GAMERZ contestant Kamil "⁠kamil⁠" Kamiński, who joins the team on trial.

"Firstly, I'd like to thank Fnatic for giving us this amazing opportunity to play under their brand, the help and support that was given over the time that we spent together was great and it provided us with a lot of extra opportunities to prove ourselves even more and to get our names out there," Adam "⁠ec1s⁠" Eccles said.

"The staff were also very supportive of us and cheered us on in our games, which was very encouraging for us as players.

"Although we developed a lot as players and people as our time in Fnatic ends, it opens a new chapter for us and we are excited for the future together!”

The former fnatic Academy squad now look as follows:

Matej "⁠MaTaFe⁠" Fekonja
Alexander "⁠AlekS⁠" Andersson
Adam "⁠ec1s⁠" Eccles
Niels "⁠luckeRRR⁠" Jasiek
Kamil "⁠kamil⁠" Kamiński (trial)

good they suck

2018-10-01 22:31

2018-10-01 23:24

8 replies

They wont tbh. I think ec1s will join a team like Epsilon & Lucker might join Berzerk/PANTHERS but i doubt it.

Are they really that bad?

2018-10-01 22:36

Well... yes i guess? Its like a bunch of nonamers like you and me winning "Gamerz" and getting a contract lol.

2018-10-01 22:38

HAHAHAHAHA How to sign a contract with the biggest esports org ever > Win GamerZ ez dollas

2018-10-01 22:48

xD Not all of them won it tho. Lucker signed from BIG, Kamil signed from some random team, but the other 3 won.

2018-10-01 22:51

ye i remember luckeRRR in BiG Never heard of this Kamil guy tho

2018-10-01 22:54

If i remember correctly Kamil played for Izako Boars, PRIDE & ESC Gaming. But only for like 1-4 months in each team.

+ he was in gamerz also but hes team lost finals after leaving cs scene for a while he played fortnite full time

2018-10-01 23:07

Sad

potato org potato management

2018-10-01 23:28

when news about release team out, fnatic academy played their match

2018-10-01 23:30

fnatic announced it earlier on twitter, hltv is just very slow.

2018-10-02 10:19

Fnatic organisation killing themselves

2018-10-01 22:34

Without this team, players like Golden and Lekr0 would have never had that big attention. R.I.P. and thanks.

lekr0?

2018-10-01 22:59

Yes, I believe both of them were together and later got onto the main squad.

2018-10-01 23:06

Golden yes, Lekr0 was in godsent

2018-10-02 08:57

Ok nvm

2018-10-02 13:11

where is dofocs? you need him here xd

2018-10-04 22:56

Remember when fnatic academy had Golden and Baaten and was actually somewhat decent

2018-10-01 22:45

they are decent for an academy team

expected =1

2018-10-01 22:44

2018-10-01 22:50

rip (._.)_[*]

2018-10-01 22:57

"We today say our farewells to our CS:GO Academy team today." RIP in pepperoni sentence structure.

2018-10-01 23:01

I don't think there's anything wrong except the last "today"

Meaning ultimately it is wrong

2018-10-02 06:25

might as well disband d whole csgo dept. lul

2018-10-01 23:03

Expected Even if valve would allow multiple rosters for an org they would drop it

2018-10-01 23:09

cool

2018-10-01 23:12

fnatic should've just dropped the main roster seeing how even this academy team has more potential than them lol

2018-10-01 23:13

kamil "kamil" kamil

2018-10-01 23:14

they still had academy team? LUL

SCAMMERZ

2018-10-01 23:15

2018-10-01 23:19

It's been fun to have followed you guys from GAMERZ til now, gl in the future!

TSM pick them up pls

2018-10-01 23:34

Fnatic gona buy someone out? Needed to save few bucks

2018-10-01 23:36

unlocku

2018-10-02 00:02

2018-10-02 00:14

probably the main fnatic roster will go to academy and the main org will pick Isurus TOP 1 SA.

2018-10-02 00:15

haha

2018-10-02 10:22

2018-10-02 00:46

Now release the main team LUL Krimz needs to do what Flusha done and get out

2018-10-02 00:48

Kamil? unexpected

2018-10-02 00:51

Release academy team to make money room for a big names signing :D

2018-10-02 01:03

they needed room for the main team to be dropped down to academy.

2018-10-02 10:23

2018-10-02 22:37

lol, rip kamil unluku for you

2018-10-02 01:21

i still dont understand why FNATIC RELEASED ACADEMY TEAM ! like heroic and astralis both owned by same org ! but they dont release heroic ! so i guess multiple team ownership is not the reason?

2018-10-02 02:42
