FNS returns on eUnited

23-10-2018 21:00

eUnited have completed the signing of former CLG and Cloud9 in-game leader Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta, the North American organisation have announced.

The Canadian tactician will be replacing Brandon "⁠Ace⁠" Winn on the roster and taking over the in-game leadership duties from Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver, who makes the transition to primary AWPer on the team.

With FNS' addition, eUnited hope to improve their tactical flexibility, after their most recent LAN outings ended in disappointment. The North American side finished 7th-8th at DreamHack Open Montreal and in third place at the four-team MSI MGA Finals.

FNS joins eUnited as IGL

FNS, who filled in for the team on Monday in the ECS league, has been without a team since July, when he was released by Cloud9 after just three months with the organisation.

During his time leading Cloud9, the ELEAGUE Major Boston champions reached the playoffs at DreamHack Masters Marseille but crashed out in the groups at IEM Sydney and at the offline finals of ESL Pro League Season 7 and ECS Season 5.

The Canadian player was full of praise for his new teammates and organisation, and spoke of his intention to guide the squad to the top.

"Not competing for the past two-three months has been difficult but refreshing in a sense," he told HLTV.org. "It gave me time to reflect on everything that went wrong with C9, but I am happy they found a lineup they are confident in.

"As for me, I couldn't be more motivated up to get back in the server and play with this group of talented players. This game has been my life for the past four years, and I can't wait to show everyone what this team is capable of.

"I have the complete respect of every player/coach on this team and so far, the organization has shown me nothing but love. That's all any player can ask for, and I am grateful for this opportunity.

"For all the people who have consistently supported me, whether that be family, friends, fans, ex-teammates, whoever, I really do appreciate it. Over the last couple of months, I've received tons of positive messages, and I'm genuinely thankful for that."

FNS will make his first LAN appearance for eUnited early next month, at IEM Chicago, kicking off November 6. Two weeks later, the team will compete at DreamHack Open Atlanta, for which they qualified after beating Spacestation in the grand final of the closed qualifier.

With these changes, eUnited now have:

Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver
Will "⁠dazzLe⁠" Loafman
Michael "⁠dapr⁠" Gulino
Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne
Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta

Jared "⁠osorandom⁠" Hartman (coach)

Brandon "⁠Ace⁠" Winn (bench)

Welcome back, FNS.

Gtfo with envy that team will never be relevant internationally with those 5

2018-10-23 21:12

Semphis still has it idk why nifty and jam are on the same team though. They have t2 potential just need a mixup of playets.

You dont know why nifty, their best player, is on the team? And semphis who is currently -136 with a .59 rating in pro league "still has it"? You need a reality check

No nifty AND jdm

3 replies

Okay fair enough they play similar roles but nifty has still been their best player with just a rifle. Still dont see how you can say that from these performances semphis "still has it" you seem to be either very misinformed or a semphis fanboy.

2018-10-23 21:22

Wtf no I just popped in a few of their streams and during the games when I watched semphis was holding his own. Tf u mean I'm a fanboy k just did hes ok wtf ur taking this shit too far. I'm not dissing anyone or saying someone is better than the other

2018-10-23 21:23

K guess you're saying nothing then cause it seemed like you were saying semphis was doing well. No hes not "okay" hes by far the worst performing player in the league and it's not like the team has good teamplay, t-sides, or tactics so I dont see how you can assess him as anything but poor right now. It's also pretty clear you havent seen any of their pro league results.

2018-10-24 00:55

eunited only tier 2 na when skadoodle joins them

2018-10-23 22:13

lmfao

Probably the best team fns could join at this point

2018-10-23 21:44

I know that

Too good honestly. I hope he actually does well I just don't see it going well. On this one I'm hoping I'm wrong

2018-10-24 02:59

FNS had a kit!

2018-10-23 21:04

who will be their awper?

2018-10-23 21:38

The Canadian tactician will be replacing Brandon "Ace" Winn on the roster and taking over the in-game leadership duties from Skyler "Relyks" Weaver, who makes the transition to primary AWPer on the team so skadoodle

2018-10-23 21:56

why when daps is calling on the team???

welcome back botFNS

2018-10-24 08:09

rip ace

god fns is back ace sucked anyway

nice

biggest brain in the world

2018-10-23 22:08

2018-10-23 22:50

Ace > FNS

bot

Nice

who?

FNSers ?

Oh shi--

Ace was trash

Hopefully they give him a chance unlike c9

good move

Please nooooooo

WTF ace is a monster jesus bad call..

Ace still has one of the best names

C9 ace confirmed

Maybe

2018-10-23 21:10

ace is super talented but i don't know if he's quite ready for c9

2018-10-23 23:04

eunited is doing well before FNS came back. Now its a disaster lmao

2018-10-23 21:25

ace to c9

Dont know how to feel about this. FNS is a good add, but I would have rather eUnited waited to later down the road to figure out who really is the problem. I dont think any individual players showed problems, it was the team itself and how it handled anti ecos that was the problem. But then again an ingame leader could help fix that problem. I'm mixed

Well they benched ace so if they have problems with other players they can swap and bring him back etc

So don't you think getting a new IGL could help them address ecos?

2018-10-23 21:11

I literally said that in the second to last sentence

2018-10-23 21:18

Yeah i'm mixed, I think FNS was a good add this roster change depends on Relyks a lot and to see if he is capable of main AWPing, I think Relyks on the rifle and not igl could have been the star of this team along side Moose of course, I think eUnited should have been something like FNS Relyks Moose Dapr Nifty / Jdm64

I was like really considering eunited before this move been thinking real hard that maybe an NA team would be good for me because i have had a real favorite team sincr vp before taz kick. I was saying it to myself once i saw the sub for moose. That if this was real it probably killed any and all intention i had for considering the roster/team I will have to see if fns magically actually got good. But if not I cant root for 4 + bot.

2018-10-23 22:32

Cool.

worst roster change after Kjaerbye

Unexpected Wtf I would have seen fns maybe on envy after pro league

Sucks for Ace. At least he has more time to be with his chick

rip eu lol

rip eunited

Why-why-why why-why, why you picking this damned bot but ACE Now Moose&Dazzle only left to play with 1+ rating since dapr and FNS is complete dogshit Ace was the good captain , also as decent fragger. Now you picking awful fragger and specific captain

Bullshit dapr is literally their highest rated player

2018-10-23 22:48

lmao ace one of the best player from eunitd lol

2018-10-23 21:08

... what? Dazzle relyks moose > ace = dapr

Fuck no, he was a decent awper imo, and idk how this help EU adding fns

Tied with the IGL as the lowest rated player on the team as the AWPer...

2018-10-23 21:15

<3 FNS

why the fuck would you remove ace

He was inconsistent

He is going to c9

2018-10-23 21:16

Ayyyy wassup BILUL

Should have got Nifty or Jdm instead to main AWP, Maybe FNS could've replaced Dazzle or something

no chance for nV anymore, -SEMP +FNS and they could have been decent

eUnited will actually become a good LAN team now

c9 ace

Lol what a terrible choice. This team is going to crash and burn

-skadoodle +skadoodle -skadoodle +skadoodle -skadoodle +ace

2018-10-23 21:17

Benching asian guy for FNS eUnited racist team confirmed

Pujaan

Rip, dead team. Adding that moron to any team will make them irrelavent immediately, not that they were relevant anyways...

2018-10-23 22:36

Downgrade expected from na org

Hahaha seriously?? Picking team-destroying FNS over someone who's been part of the core (Ace, who was a founding member of the team along with moose and dazzLe)... awful move. Too bad, eUnited had something going for them. C9 Ace hopefully, this guy deserves better.
