Wisla Krakow part ways with fanatyk

The Polish squad has cut ties with their least experienced member ahead of the start of the new season, with his replacement set to be announced "early next week".

A fairly unknown figure on the international scene, the 20-year-old Dominik "⁠fanatyk⁠" Barkiet, joined Wisla Krakow alongside Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz and Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras in April, when the organization unveiled their overhauled lineup which was created under the supervision of experienced coach and former CS1.6 pro Mariusz "⁠Loord⁠" Cybulski.

While the other two additions flourished into the team's best performers over the last three months, fanatyk, who only played his first HLTV-featured match after joining Wisla Krakow, struggled to adapt to the level of competition.

SZPERO's squad is undergoing a change after mediocre results

As they were not able to go higher than the 68th place in the world rankings and suffered early exits in events such as the Home Sweet Home Cup 8, Nine to Five 1, and Loot.bet Season 7, Wisla Krakow's roster change doesn't come as a surprise. Domestically they also failed to impress, finishing 5-6th in the ESL Polish Championship Spring behind the likes of PACT, Illuminar, and AVEZ.

The team captain, Grzegorz "⁠SZPERO⁠" Dziamałek, stated that level of competition fanatyk was throw into "was certainly not an easy challenge for him", and that despite the youngster's hard work and progress, he "did not fully fit into the role entrusted to him", which led to the change. However, SZPERO added that their game would "significantly improve" with the new, yet unrevealed roster.

fanatyk's replacement will be revealed early next week, Wisla Krakow announced, with Polish outlet Weszlo Esport reporting that 25-year-old Patryk "⁠ponczek⁠" Wites is likely the one set to complete the lineup.

Wisla Krakow is currently down to four:

Poland Grzegorz "⁠SZPERO⁠" Dziamałek
Poland Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk
Poland Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras
Poland Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz

Poland Mariusz "⁠Loord⁠" Cybulski (coach)

Who even is he and why was he even playing for Wisla Krakow? Good decision to bench him, he played like shit hoenstly. Honestly for me I think they should now remove jedqr, I know his stats are really good but I think he isn't making his job in a team well, which is entry fragging. So for me : -jedqr +Goofy +Sobol Both Goofy and Sobol are really stable players, that maybe won't win match alone, but will always make their job. I think that's what Wisla Krakow needs.

For me mynio is playing not that good as he should. Jedqr was one of the most valuable playera in Esl MP, he shows that he is really good and can carry games, but yeah, actually he is like top3 or worse in Wisła, I think he need time to get his form on high lvl. And btw goofy is IGL, not having much kills per game

Ponczek is gonna be the 5th player. Can’t w8 to see them in action, cuz with such coach as Loord is, they should play much better and maybe this is that change they needed
