fnatic withdraw from BetBoom Dacha qualifier

15-11-2023 16:35

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fnatic has withdrawn from the BetBoom Dacha Closed Qualifier as the team is down to just three players after the departures of Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen and William "⁠mezii⁠"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

for swedish IGLs i cant think of any unless they want like ztr also i said hampus because i believe that he was rumored

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)

2023-11-16 06:15

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

2023-11-16 07:58

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

Must be … just look a the outcome of this ”we want to go international to reach new hights” …

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.

Heap, peppzor are also valid options

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.

2023-11-15 17:20

I mean yea, I know "we" have been ass for awhile, but I just have such fond memories of being at Cologne 2014 haha

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.

Hopefully, I haven't really cared for NIP since GTR left but would be cool to see a Swedish org do well, whether that be NIP or Fnatic

2023-11-15 17:29

Isn't fnatic British

2023-11-15 19:44

Yes but they're honorary swedes haha

Swedish, Polish and French scenes were once so great, and are now just a mere shadow of their former selves. Shame

2023-11-15 17:21

Yup, its kinda the reason I just follow players now (NiKo and Twistzz haha)

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.

2023-11-15 17:28

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.

2023-11-15 17:33

They aren't even a shadow lol, they're dead

2023-11-15 19:59

2023-11-16 02:34

why would adamb and nilo downgrade??

2023-11-15 17:25

Please please pleas jcobbb be the Polish donk

2023-11-15 16:38

who is igl??? hades?

2023-11-15 16:50

yup

excited to see jcobbb in action, possibly a huge talent (even used to be top 2 or 3 on faceit), let's see what roles he gets and how he performs in a proper team

2023-11-15 16:39

Lol

2023-11-15 16:40

fnatic wants to go full Swedish again aren't they ?

6 replies

unconfirmed rumors say they do.

rumours from shit sources yes most likely fnatic go swedish core not full swede

2023-11-15 16:52

still the laziest move they can do. Investment into CS my ass if they're seriously going for a Swedish core.

2023-11-15 16:53

they wont invest lol they've been saying that for 3 years

2023-11-15 16:56

ofc not. They’re going all in on VALORANT since that’s where their success is coming from right now. Even their LoL team is getting neglected.

2023-11-15 17:00

nah they LoL team is still getting a ton of money. humanoids contract for example was more expensive than team heretics complete operating budget.

2023-11-15 18:50

its joever

2023-11-15 16:41

why not bring L4O

should rename to looking for 20k salary

2023-11-15 16:44

they cant live well in france with 1k

well no one is going to willingly pay them like more than 4k a month.

2023-11-15 16:47

i don't think they got an offer for more than 3k (and surely they would have accepted)

2023-11-15 16:48

when krl offered them 1k they took some time before declining, but now that they look so good in cs2 i bet they are asking for 3-4k idk

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

2023-11-15 16:54

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.

2023-11-15 16:59

I might be delusional thinking they can stay top 20 team in cs2 but 3k for this rank range seems normal

So how do they live now

cashprizes recently they got 3k at esea cash cup and 10k at cct east europe

2023-11-15 16:58

For 5 players still not enough to live in paris/other cities

i can't speak for them but while waiting to be signed i guess they can manage to live well enough

9ine is better than any team italy ever had lol, even now when they're dead they're in top30

2023-11-15 19:16

Well, as you can see, still very much alive and still in top 30

2023-11-15 18:07

Hope they bounce back with a revamped squad

2023-11-15 16:55

I feel sorry for Krimz... hopefully he gets a solid team around him but knowing Fnatic he wont

expected for Fnatic, probably change whole roster

fnat0c management = eg management, lmao. clowns

2023-11-15 17:01

Not even close. They got top 8 in brazil and decents runs elsewhere for their level of players. They sold brollan and mezii too. Budget tean with good budget results until they fell off at the end. Kind of like col.

2023-11-15 17:36

wait until they buy a second fashr with that money, lmao. neofrag is free lol

2023-11-15 18:36

I have been a fanboy of Fnatic for about 13 years now and this year I have no more motivation to support them.

2023-11-15 19:02

Sad, but expected

2023-11-15 19:31

no roster but still pay Krimz the salary of young Neymar, now not even participating in events, I wonder how money is coming in at this moment?

2023-11-15 21:11

expected. Swedish fnatic inc

2023-11-15 21:22

I doubt swedish team could could work but dexter def not deserve to be in fnatic.

2023-11-15 21:28

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.
