fnatic round out roster with dexter, afro

fnatic's new additions, afro and dexter, will respectively take over AWPing and calling.

dexter will take over in-game leadership in fnatic

fnatic have announced the final two members to complete their starting five, in-game leader Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong and AWPer Aurélien "⁠afro⁠" Drapier.

The Australian caller joins the international squad after two years leading MOUZ, which includes a recent second-place finish at IEM Dallas 2023.

In the off-season, the German organization opted to sign former academy player Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek following his impressive run of form with GamerLegion, a team he led to the BLAST.tv Paris Major's grand final.

This move opened the door for dexter to step in an take the reins in fnatic to free up William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman.

afro posted a 1.11 rating during his time in DBL PONEY and HEET

afro joins fnatic on a free transfer and will take on the biggest endeavor of his career as he steps into an international squad for the first time to fill the shoes of the benched Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi.

The French AWPer, who rose up the ranks with DBL PONEY and HEET, found himself without a team at the end of the spring season when LDLC shut down its Counter-Strike division.

The two join as fnatic's first test of the fall season approaches, the IEM Cologne Play-in, which will be starting on July 26.

fnatic is now:

Sweden Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Denmark Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen
United Kingdom William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman
Australia Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong
France Aurélien "⁠afro⁠" Drapier

United Kingdom Jamie "⁠keita⁠" Hall (coach)

Denmark Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi (benched)

^this iirc they won like 2 big tournaments in a row and the org(cArn) just decides to cut the brain from the body cuz of goldens 0.9 rating... "team" fnatic never recovered from that Sometimes it seems like fnatic org are sabotaging their csgo division. This news aren't any different. Really strange pickups, esp dexter, he was never too good, just got lucky GrayHound showed something at some forgotten major that was 4 years ago

i really dont get you guys, have you even watched pro play? w0nderful is legit just a baiter, woro2k or degster 10 times better. 0/8. random lvl 8 faceit wanna be simple has more impact. Roej is a great entry, sometimes stats is sheit but his impact in opening rounds aint. u look at kills to much, theres a reason fnatic has preformed better than many other orgs in majors, its becuase teamwork and impact trumps stats.

Agreed, maybe not the big name signings but these pieces could definitely work Fnatic has not been and will not be in the conversation for tournament winners or even top 4 at big events. However they'll be underdogs playing with little pressure and may end up surprising people. Gl to all, hope we see the best form out of mezzi, krimz roej. Afro is talented, Dexter is solid. LFG!

+1 If he can unleash his potential without igl'ing .. that is a serious top10 rifler. But we will see if he can perform up to that level. Also happy that dexter found a new home. Seems like a very chill guy.

didnt MOUZ lose/replace 3 players when dexter joined? werent they Chrisj, Karrigan, Woxic, Ropz, Frozen? So Dexter was coming in to a mostly different team than the one that was top 5? I know they got acor, and they also got bymas for chrisj right?

Karrigan was playing with both Acor and Bymas, Ropz and Frozen. He had a tier s tournament final with that roster against Astralis and it was close. Dexter came for him and thus switching players and coaches begun. Finally Mouz became strong team under Dexter, they even managed major playoffs for first time in org history(not even Karrigan did that with them), but after all that time? I doubt that this is a statemeant of Dexters abilities as caller, more Sycrones doing as coach.

Rumour is W0nderful is already with Sprout I believe. I can see Fnatic passing on Degster, he really likes to have a lot of control and freedom. As good as he is, I think he needs to be humbled a little bit and realize it’s a team game. I don’t think his personality meshed well with Fnatics older members like Krimz and Roej.

mezii without having to IGL should increase his firepower substantially and afro should add a lot of firepower. The other 3 are okay firepower for their roles (dexter above average for IGL, krimz above average for support, roej a bit low for entry though)
2023-07-06 16:31

I think this roster will surprise people. mezii can now be a proper star rifler, afro star awper, dexter 300 IQ IGL, krimz super experienced support, roej decent entry and great memes.

Interesting pickups, but also kind of a "wtf" moment lol. Fnatic is so cheap that they won't let themselves buy out any player contracts to truly build a top 5 team.

Downgrade on average. Even if afro is the same or slightly better than nicoodoz, dexter is much worse in stats than FASHR. And in the end someone needs to make the kills to win the rounds, can't be all brains.

How dexter has been given so much trust in the t1 scene I’ll never understand, dude destroyed mouz, fnatic ruined themselves moving away from a Swedish roster thinking UK CS was their hope

I think this roster will surprise people. mezii can now be a proper star rifler, afro star awper, dexter 300 IQ IGL, krimz super experienced support, roej decent entry and great memes.
