fnatic sign Golden permanently

17-1-2020 21:02

fnatic have confirmed that they have signed Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim on a permanent basis from Cloud9.

The 25-year-old has committed his future to fnatic after helping the team to return to the top during a highly-successful loan at the end of 2019.

fnatic won DreamHack Masters Malmö in October, ending a 19-month long trophyless period, and finished in second place at StarSeries i-League Season 8 and at the ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals to end the year sitting third in the world rankings.

Golden has joined fnatic on a permanent basis

This will be Golden's second stint as a full fnatic member after playing for the team between August 2017 and June 2018. The Swedish in-game leader, who had been promoted from the organisation's academy squad, led the team to victories at IEM Katowice 2018 and at the WESG 2017 Finals before stepping down from the roster to make way for William "⁠draken⁠" Sundin.

fnatic, who will make their first appearance of 2020 at IEM Katowice, which will kick off on February 25, have the following roster:

Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell
Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin
Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist
Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim

Andreas "⁠Samuelsson⁠" Samuelsson (coach)

Very nice! He made fnatic great again!

2020-01-18 03:57

who was fnatic's igl before golden?

2020-01-21 09:31

Its because golden plays as a igl. He might have bad stats but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t do any impact for his team. He helps his team by calling strats, giving calls, and making quick decisions. But new fags like don’t even understand cs and then you guys come over here and complain about how someone has bad stats. Pls, for the god sake, learn how the game works before you say someone is terrible.

IGL is an excuse for bad players 🧐

2020-01-18 06:03

So coldzera is now igl? xD

2020-01-18 07:08

Haha, that was good one.

2020-01-18 07:43

ChoKo is IGL in FaZe

2020-01-18 07:46

lmao

2020-01-18 17:23

Have you heared about something called IGL ?

2020-01-18 07:32

Im not sure if u watch his povs... yes maybe sometime he is bad when defending sites, but he often make "impact kills" on the T side when entrying with turtle mode strat (when they walk without smoke or flash). U cant compare impact kills to stats brother

2020-01-18 08:31

imagine judging a good IGL by purely stats, you don’t know dick about the upper echelon of CS.

2020-01-19 05:26

LOL u dont know anything kills is not everything in this game

2020-01-18 08:13

you don't know anything about this game, rofl

2020-01-18 18:47

+1 Golden made fnatic great again

2020-01-17 21:31

Golden: I stay

2020-01-17 22:12

2020-01-17 21:30

2020-01-17 21:05

Until that moment, he was rented from C9, but now he officially goes in Fnatic, not for a whole life KEKW

2020-01-17 22:08

2020-01-18 08:49

Finally!

i forgot he was on c9

And it took you this long? :D Should have signed him earlier. Good for the swedish scene, hope it will fully recover !

2020-01-17 21:11

C9 probably was to greedy

2020-01-17 21:41

nice but I thought they did already xD

Good IGL Bad riffle sorry

2020-01-17 21:22

caralho

2020-01-17 21:59

He is a okay aimer/rifler and can step up in important situations, besides he got lots of fire power.

2020-01-18 00:37

Nice

PERMANENTLY? lol so, his contract will never expire?

2020-01-17 21:07

Easy money

Poorly worded tbh

2020-01-18 05:18

Free money for C9

Not really tbh, they bought him from fnatic? So ± 0

2020-01-18 00:40

Wise

Hopefully they wont fuck him over so hard lime they did before

Good

like till his or fnatic's death??? lmao

What an overrated trash player.

dont bench him again!!

Great news! Gold luck Golden. The best IGL in Sweden atm.

GOD

Such a great signup. Best IGL in Sweden without a doubt.

I LOVE YOU GOLDEN!

#MFGA!!!

2020-01-17 21:13

is everyone really baiting or do they think that signing him permanently means he is playing for them until he dies lmao fucking idiots

yeah, im confused too. it only means that he got a contract and is not on loan anymore, right?

2020-01-17 21:17

yes

Half baiters, half morons probably lmao.

2020-01-18 00:41

+1 my brother

2020-01-18 01:10

Oh at last! The best possible pick-up for Fnatic. #Deserved

2020-01-17 21:14

finally xD

Nice underrated player

2020-01-17 21:15

i hope the comments are trolls.

kicked in 6months

I stay

2020-01-17 21:18

I was looking for this :D If I didn't see it I was going to type it ;)

2020-01-17 22:06

Bad IGL worst pickup by any team ;/ put pronax as IGL and coach devilwalk and we can see some results on this roster

He is a decent igl 0/8 , pronax is retired.

2020-01-18 00:43

wasted spot

Hope they will treat him better now.

Nice Golden_saved_swedishscene

Nice Move I think, he isnt the best player, but definitely FNATIC grew with him

2020-01-17 21:24

Very great igl

Yeah, saved FNATIC, nice team, nice project Lets see Brollan fkn boosting (in a good way) he is playing wonders

2020-01-17 21:37

2020 is ours bois

2020-01-17 21:26

Golden days

Well done!

2020-01-17 21:27

Best Swedish Player

great, people who defended xizt can go away now :D

2020-01-17 21:36

Golden good but Xizt bestest

they should have never removed him. If he keeps improving his fragging and JW finds AWP form they will challenge anyone

Explain permanently? Until he dies? Until fnatic dies? Until hes kicked?

Majk <3

Good news, he made this team good again. Seems like a really nice dude as well. Congrats

2020-01-17 21:46

2020-01-17 22:51

Good man Golden

2020-01-17 22:55

golden playing for fnatic in his grave in 2148

2020-01-17 22:57

Permanently? So for all his life ahead?

2020-01-17 23:27

looks like haha

2020-01-18 17:06

Nobody: Fnatic: +Golden -Golden +Golden -Golden +Golden -Golden +Golden

2020-01-17 23:43

Their biggest mistake was benching / kicking him. They became 100x worse after his bench/kick every time. I hope they learned their lesson pretty well. Cuz the job he did to them after the last comeback is just more than something... :) Golden is by fact the best IGL in Sweden right now.

2020-01-18 00:31

Maybe they should consider kicking someone else next time.

2020-01-17 23:55

About time

2020-01-17 23:59

As soon dignitas show up the lineup I m a +fan

2020-01-18 00:20

YES

2020-01-18 01:19

The best IGL of Sweeden atm. don't @me with xist and pronax

2020-01-18 01:31

Shouldn't have been kicked in 2018

2020-01-18 01:44

2020-01-18 08:34

Golden GOD mastermind. Well played Fnatic.

2020-01-18 01:45

damn fnatic has a really solid lineup now

2020-01-18 03:00

Wtf he will play csgo till he die?

2020-01-18 03:25

Hahahahha

2020-01-18 03:54

Golden is the perfect fit for them.

Why golden has to show stats when he has JW Brollen and senorvac-floosha

2020-01-18 05:57

This team is top 5 if they play their A game. Love Golden, elite IGL for sure.

2020-01-18 08:18

That’s a great move! Good luck, fnatic and golden!

Who would think xizt might fix anything for fnatic?

2020-01-18 08:54

king in the north!

2020-01-18 11:22

Nice GL GOLDEN !

2020-01-18 12:19

goleden=pronax 2015

2020-01-18 14:03

shameful treatment of him whatever you do now

2020-01-18 15:37

IKR he has been so good to them, wins the 2 million in like 2 weeks and then they kick him. teams are so dumb these days

2020-01-18 15:55

Deserved.

2020-01-18 17:46

2020-01-18 18:08

Golden is not that good

2020-01-19 11:58

Welcome bot-decoy! Hahahaha

2020-01-19 20:31

nice top 1

2020-01-20 13:08

19-month long trophyless period lol

2020-01-20 20:02

golden bot to be kicked ASAP when team downfalls again there used to be time when fnatic were striving for top1 now they strive for staying in top5 Well... :/

2020-01-20 21:57

Just because he's bad on paper doesn't mean he's a bad IGL. He puts himself in uncomfortable spots and actually delivers when needed but most importantly he allows his teammates to perform at their best potentials.

2020-01-21 09:33

I don't think JW or even Krimz perform at their best with Golden. They were top performers in olofM times

2020-01-21 10:32

It's not the same thing, that was so many years ago and the game, the players and the chemistry has changed in every single team. Golden is definitely not bad.

2020-01-21 10:34
