fnatic withdraw from BetBoom Dacha qualifier

9INE will take their place in Group B.

fnatic cannot field a full team at the moment

fnatic has withdrawn from the BetBoom Dacha Closed Qualifier as the team is down to just three players after the departures of Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen and William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman.

"As we continue to focus on rebuilding our roster for 2024, we informed the tournament organisers that we will not be competing," fnatic told the TO. "Our priorities are fully set on investing in a new roster that will help bring back fnatic CS to its former glory in 2024. We deeply apologize to FISSURE and our fans for the inconvenience."

Polish team 9INE will substitute the European side in the closed qualifier's Group B, with Jakub "⁠jcobbb⁠" Pietruszewski taking up the spot in the roster left open when Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk was moved to the bench at the beginning of November.

Group A already played out, with Aurora, Apeks and BIG making it to the playoffs, while Eternal Fire lost in the lower bracket and were eliminated before the playoffs.

Group B will start with 9INE taking on Spirit in place of fnatic, while Ninjas in Pyjamas and MIBR will play the bout on the other side of the upper bracket.

Two spots at BetBoom Dacha will be given to the top teams when the qualifier's playoffs come to a close on November 21. The LAN event will then take place in Dubai, UAE, on December 5-10, with the likes of Virtus.pro, Astralis, Cloud9, and the title sponsor's own team, BetBoom, already invited.

Hampus has proven he can only fly so high Too good for T2, not good enough for a top 5 team(if that's waht NIP are shooting for)

i believe hampus is leagues above anyone else is sweden (and dexter) though so it's probably their best option

There are promising free agents/bencheds from sweden right now. Brollan always said he wants to play and communicate in swedish. Keeping Krimz as the legend he is and go back full swedish would be sweet

I mean Krimz Brollan Hampus isnt a bad core since its gonna go full Swedish. Brollan was shit on international lineups but between ALEX fnatic and Aleksi NIP he had a resurgence on Swedish NIP. Adamb and nilo look to have good potential as well. If you want an awper get nawwk or just go 5 rifle.

I dont see a point in Fnatic retreading old options which have failed already. Don’t think either can become t1 material. I’d rather take a risk with adamb and nilo.

This has been an issue since 2015 lol. Failed talent after failed talent since the LGB lineup which joined the 2013 major champs + dennis. The only one with any success were Maikelele (only when on NIP +Magic), draken (kinda mid tbf), nawwk (inconsistent), REZ (inconsistent like nawwk), and Brollan who is the only true Swedish elite talent since Olof/Krimz. Oh yeah i forgot about Golden.

I think if Fnatic make this Swedish roster they will have some success and Brollan may find his form back being in a full swedish roster will theoretically be more stable than that NIP disaster org.

Yeah its sad. The t2 talent could never live up to the hype and as the old legends became washed up it was all over. Tbf in Poland tho there seems to be tons of teams and talent its just there are tons of roster moves and the best 5 players are rarely all together at once. Whereas French and Swedish teams had to pick up randoms like Peppzor and Kyojin to try to find new talent.

Yeah the problem with the Polish scene isn't lack of talent but scattered talent. Even right now a team consisting of Hades, Dycha, KEi, Krasnal and Siuhy would probably have a good chance at being a top10 team, but the talent is scattered over 4 different teams, lol.

who in their right mind would do that tho. Unless it's KCorp deciding to enter CS a year early instead of the reported 2025 that I've been seeing and hearing or Solary, no sane org would willingly gamble on these guys for that much even if they're looking good so far in CS2.

There are plenty of french orgs that offer 3-4k per month to shit teams in LoL The problem with CS is the lack of established leagues with sponsors that can help these orgs stay afloat. In CS it's major or bust, and now you'll see even more of them leaving CS in 2025

You’re actually delusional if you think orgs will just leave in 2025. And lack of established leagues is not the problem and never was. Mismanaging was and always will be. What we currently have as “established leagues” is no different than what you think will happen on 2025, just killing the CS scene.

Trust me if they try to bring back swedish roster then its pretty much like bringing jw and flusha back and this won't work. International rosters have proved that they are the new meta and fnatic seriously needs to do something because this roster with mezii , roej , dexter , afro , krimz was good but I don't know how they messed up pretty bad.
