fnatic sign blameF

14-5-2024 20:46

The Dane replaces kyuubii on the roster.

blameF has found a new home after three months on Astralis' bench

fnatic has announced the blockbuster signing of Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer from Astralis, who will take the place of Can "⁠kyuubii⁠" Ali on the team's active roster.

blameF has sat on the sidelines since February when he was benched from Astralis following the team's failure to qualify for PGL Major Copenhagen through the Europe RMR.

At the time, he acknowledged that he "probably saw it [the benching] coming" as the team hadn't succeeded, and added he was looking to "continue playing ASAP, but as a rifler (non-IGL)."

Astralis bench blameF after RMR fiasco

His surprise move to fnatic reunites him with Jamie "⁠keita⁠" Hall, whom he previously worked alongside on Complexity from 2019-2021, and marks his return to an international roster after two-and-a-half years with Astralis.

The four-time top-20 player in the world joins the team in place of kyuubii, who had a mixture of lurker and anchor roles in contrast to the more active and star positions blameF recently occupied.

The former Astralis rifler will retain his preferred roles on fnatic, Andreas Samuelsson, CS Team Director at fnatic, confirmed in a message on the organization's community Discord.

"blameF will play the star positions as a second voice, bodyy will call, and KRIMZ will play the anchor roles," Samuelsson stated.

kyuubii joined fnatic in November 2023 alongside Matúš "⁠MATYS⁠" Šimko and Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro, but was the only one of the trio to join on a trial basis.

The team failed to live up to the heights once associated with the fnatic tag, however, highlighted by their failed Copenhagen Major qualifying campaign and continually illustrated by their recent group stage exit in ESL Pro League and dismal placements in online events and qualifiers.

“Bringing Benjamin into Fnatic is a significant move that indicates our ambition to return to the top echelons of competitive Counter-Strike," Ross Rooney, Esports Analysis & Strategy Manager at fnatic, said in a statement on the organization's website.

"Benjamin is a franchise-level player whose impact goes beyond just his in-game ability. This acquisition marks a significant shift from our approach over the last few years, emphasising our commitment to not only participate but return to meaningful competition.

"Benjamin's consistent top-tier performance and leadership experience offered an opportunity to energize our roster and signal our intentions to the market.“

blameF will debut in the black-and-orange jersey on Friday in CCT Global Finals, where fnatic have been placed in a group with ENCE, Gaimin Gladiators, and GamerLegion.

6 month bulking contract

2024-05-14 22:25

Likelyhood is that he came really cheap and Astralis just wanted to get rid of him because no one with deep pockets showed any interest. Fnatic aren't exactly know to make expensive roster moves these days.

this is legit their biggest move in years their last big signing was dennis lol

My point exactly, which makes me think he came really cheap and Astralis were desperate to get rid of him.

2024-05-14 20:58

or fnatic didnt lie for once. they said they had millions lined up for cs. but its not the first time they said they would invest, although the first time they gave numbers.

5 replies

Also a possibility

2024-05-14 20:59

If fnatic "had millions" and were willing to spend their "millions", then they would've been able to put together a top 10 roster 1-2 years ago. However, they've been on a downward spiral since their flusha / JW / Golden days.

2024-05-15 06:55

what? they are profitable since this year. last year almost. they are doing great as an org just not in terms of results.

2024-05-15 19:41

I don't think you buy out a player like Matys and then don't take the oppertunity to sign some big names around it when you get the chance

2024-05-16 01:27

Who is matys ??

2024-05-17 13:30

+denis now for -bodyy and I start to believe

2024-05-15 04:31

probably not that much, Astralis will be happy to not have to pay him 10-20K for sitting on their bench anymore

i heared that benched players often get 50% of their actual salary so 10k could be realistic

2024-05-14 21:50

16 replies

At least G2 makes contract that benched player gets 5-10% of salary and thats fact. There is no ooint to make 50% for long contract

2024-05-15 05:49

15 replies

I would be very surprised if it was only 5-10%, but if you say so...

2024-05-15 18:40

well rekkles leaked G2 contract and said its common

2024-05-15 18:58

And Smooya said it was half, I'd take his word over a LoL pro's.

2024-05-16 01:26

and thorin like many people say its 20 25%

2024-05-16 20:35

And Gadaffi like many people say its 1%-99%

2024-05-18 13:33

No one makes a contract alone. Contract is an ageement of two parties, in this case player and org. I would be surprised to see that any player who gets 10-30k/mo accepts 5-10% benched salary. Orgs cant just "make" this kind of contract. Player needs to agree to it.

2024-05-16 11:42

Also org wont accept 100% salary if benched because in esports benching is pretty common thing, so it wouldnt be good for orgs economy

2024-05-16 11:58

Exactly. Contract needs at least two parties. So seems reasonable that the benched salary is between 30-70%, instead of 5-10%.

2024-05-16 11:59

7 replies

Well 10% from 30k is still 3k a month so it seems reasonable to me, ofc lower salary might have higher paid at bench

2024-05-16 12:06

3k a month, when you know you would get at least 15k in another org, but you are tied to org which has benched u because of ur contract. Think again.

2024-05-16 12:09

If you get are worth of 15k even after benched, u will be bought to another org

2024-05-16 12:14

Idk if you understand how contracts work. You cant just be bought without agreement of the org who benched you. They might ask too much, or just want to have you benched and keep you as 6th. Enjoys your 10% 3k, when you know you would get at least 15k in anywhere else, but are tied to ur contract. Thats why I think no one agrees to 10%.

2024-05-16 12:33

You need to understand economy of the org. There is no point to keep player benched of its expensive, orgs are the one who make cobtract and players try to negotiate it, if player dont accept it, org can just move to next one. There is ofc exception with superstars who can make the contract almost how they like it. Its all about businness

2024-05-16 12:51

Man :D, you are saying I need to understand economy of the org, and then you say: "There is no point to keep player benched of its expensive" Sorry but what :D So you are implying its better to let players out of contracts for free? And no, org cant just move to next one. If org is looking for skillset x, they just cant move forward and make a contract with player who has a skillset y.

2024-05-16 13:03

Dont understand then what im trying to say

2024-05-16 13:27

TERRIBLE MOVE

2024-05-14 20:48

Thank you

2024-05-16 12:15

Real shit

agreed. this was not one of the two replaceable players at the moment I was thinking of.

2024-05-15 04:32

Who then?

2024-05-15 09:23

I guess bodyy is a good IGL but he used to be much better earlier in cs go.

2024-05-15 21:30

You cant honestly want blameF as IGL after his shit shows at pervious teams?

2024-05-15 21:38

WHAT???

Imagine benching Kyubii... him and matys are the only ones doing the proactive moves.. especially when shit gets hard boddy in cs2 is average.. Krimz baits alot more than he used to This team with baitF is done

2024-05-14 22:28

Kyubii is the only one that makes sense to bench. He’s the only one on trial, bodyy is calling, KRIMZ is their franchise player who has always played well, afro is AWPing, and MATYS is their best player. Kyubi had no real purpose on the roster and always seemed like a placeholder til they found someone they liked better.

2024-05-14 22:59

2024-05-14 23:27

The trial thing is wrong, when asked the question "is kyuubii on trail because HLTV listed him as on trial" in november, Carn said this: "Unsure why they have that listing - like any player you will go through constant review and equally every player (or staff) will have our full support in their development. Whereas I can't go into the finer details we have signed a multi-year extension with him." Also note how Fnatic said they are open to loan offers for Kyuubi at the moment, clearly suggesting he's tied to them for a while...

2024-05-15 00:04

Kyubii plays b anchor alot and solo lurks aswell I believe so blameF is literally a gigaupgrade of the same player

2024-05-14 23:38

Check fnatic results in 2 months, bookmark this

2024-05-15 00:41

fnatic are years ahead of NiP at least they can take that to the bank xD

Is that really a achievement? xd

2024-05-15 23:01

No, not really lmao but man I miss those good old days a bit and would be nice for a legacy org to not be shit in 2024. Everyone loves a good deep run from the underdogs

2024-05-19 21:07

why isn't amanek on this team yet

why would he downgrade (from being teamless)

Tier 2 player to tier 2 team

btw wrong kyuubi

kyuubi was bad tho

2024-05-14 21:02

no he wasn´t lmao You will see that in 2 months when they will get worst with blamef.

2024-05-14 22:29

he was mostly bottom frag

2024-05-14 22:37

He was playing the dirty roles , and anchoring WHEN HE NEVER WAS A ANCHOR in his past teams... If thats fair to accomodate a new player to a new team... Lets see if BaitF NOW , gets the same treatment , now this boddy,krimz,afro will give the positions to the big name player. But when it was kyubii no one gave a fuck...

2024-05-14 22:58

oh no...

LMAO

LOL

Pog

insane bait 8/8

wow unexpected

WHAT, LETS GO BLAME

WHAT????

HOLY MOLY W

Wtff unexpected news .

BLAME TIME

wtf

GodF back in action!

DAMN

exciting move blamef is a big baiter but is also undeniably one of the hardest working pros. gl to him

Hardest working in the Gym for sure

2024-05-14 20:52

2024-05-15 01:39

bro gonna turn the team into fnattyc

2024-05-15 09:45

Fnatic is cooking, but -afro needs to happen. i think even smooya wwould be better choice

2024-05-14 20:50

Smooya and BlameF would work tbh. They're friends. Also think that Fnatic must be serious about building a T1 team for BlameF to agree to join

2024-05-14 21:42

Would be interesting to see unfold

100%. Afro has been very detrimental to the team. Bring back smooya

2024-05-15 05:43

Even tough i was happy that the french scene was growing internationally, i must say that afro's results have been lacklustre... I thought with bodyy he would have had comfy positions where he could find impact but not really, he was better with dexter IGLing Either he pops off again, or it's -afro +mantuu imo.

2024-05-15 08:52

"blockbuster signing"

hes way above the caliber fnatic has been the last couple years

2024-05-14 21:53

are you sure? didn't fnatic finish better in some tournaments than baitstralis did??

2024-05-14 23:31

i am sure

2024-05-14 23:36

OK, but he's still a better individual

2024-05-15 05:44

no, he just baits, exits and ecofrags.

2024-05-15 12:57

OK. You're a kid.

wtf not fnatic :/

outta nowhere

Falcons v2

F is for FNATIC

baitf

bot team hahaha

Unexpected

no way

Fnatic Is back?

2024-05-14 20:51

do fnatic even play any relevant tournaments other than Pro League lol

Maybe they get a yalla compass invite lol. also they are in the EWC club program so maybe EWC?

and with blameF you actually win qualifiers

true but the timing is bad enough where they may have few options to get good ranking points for Cologne and the upcoming big LANs. Could've had him right after the major but who knows how the negotiations were going with blameF. I was like 100% sure he was going to be instantly signed by like G2 (or a similar level team) post-major.

2024-05-14 21:09

Falcons should have picked him up.

2024-05-14 21:23

nah, likely not. They already tried and lost to Sashi.

2024-05-14 21:17

Yalla Compass possible but EWC invites are only related to ranking etc, not that support program. And for that matter, they were mostly related to an org's ability to bring in new viewers, something which you'd guess is more LoL and Valorant related in Fnatic's case... Not too many Fnatic cs fans left after leaving Sweden + Being like the shittiest ITL project out there for the last 3 years

2024-05-15 00:09

Well considering how many teams have already been invited it may go down far enough for fnatic to get the last invite. Nothing is really stopping ESL from even making sure its fnatic who get the slot considering its their tournament as well. With that said i checked the event page and it seems like they are actually doing it with only 15 teams?? They could literally just invite anyone but instead they kept it at 15 for whatever reason.

2024-05-15 00:18

For some reason, it's 15, yes. Either way, as you can see, all the invites are based on ESL ranking in which Fnatic is rly low. The other slots are qualifiers, in which fnatic participated and failed. Fnatic's main priority though should be to just play as many online tournaments as possible, hopefully even Yalla ofc. That way mb just mb they can get last seed Cologne slot (which is after player break, hopefully they can replace afro during that time...)

2024-05-15 00:21

Man how tf does Fnatic get blameF??? an elite rifler ends up on some t1.5 at best squad. When you got guys like mezii nexa iM playing like shit but you miss out on a easy upgrade.

>elite >cct mvp

2024-05-14 21:11

So sad. All baiting jokes aside, blamef is such a good player individually. Top 10 rifler for me

why? because his stats are good? watch his games and you would understand. people dont call him baitF for no reason he would not even attempt a 1v1 clutch because it hurts his stats if he is T side and the bomb is planted and theres 2 CT left he saves his gun instead of trying to win the round biggest stat padder

2024-05-15 00:24

top 10 rifler LOL? Your top 10 list must be worse than Mauisnakes Rifler tier list. +meds

2024-05-15 16:30

name 10 better riflers...

2024-05-16 20:40

Is this supposed to be hard...? I can easily name 10 players id rather have over Baitf Zywoo Niko Ropz Twistzz Elige Frozen Kscerato Monesy b1t Xantares Honorable mentions: Spinx, Wicadia, Rain, Xertion, Jimmi Theres a reason why Astralis has instantly been having far more success in a matter of literally a few months without Baitf, compared to the 3 years with Baitf.

2024-05-16 21:02

bruh, its because stavn and co can play in their loved positions.. it just didnt click well with blameF. If he finds a tm thats happy to play where they play, blameF is going to be a perfect fit. One of the best for sure! Also a humble guy which is very respected by orgs and players Its just a big nonsense parade here in hltv from stabbi fans

2024-05-17 10:14

pog

wait what

Now -afro please and actually good roster

+mantuu

Would be rly good but I don’t think it’s gonna happen

2024-05-14 23:50

ESP not now cause new roster with preazy boys I forgot name

2024-05-14 23:55

Since you are m80 fan and slaxz is european, and showed extreme promise in EPL... How much would fnatic have to pay (i'm guessing 250k+ is too much...)? And would he be interested in moving back to an EU team?

2024-05-15 00:16

none of the players on M80 is for sale.

2024-05-15 00:31

Idk I don’t think m80 is gonna change anything rn because after one month of slax and s1n had the best form yet. But also slax is really a bot sometimes he’s very inconsistent but yeah was doing great at epl

I want reck gone and kyyubii take his place, simply to recreate BIGs story. You get kicked/ not picked up by european teams, move to NA, destroy the scene and create your own ORG back in Germany. In my opinion kyyubii could also buff OG, which has a promising Router with the Addition of MoDo and HeavyGod, maybe in places of Nexius

2024-05-15 08:43

thats not possible M80 would loose their NA spots they have to have 3 NA players

2024-05-15 09:06

Huh

gl blameF

WHAT

A little underwhelming for blameF it feels like. Unless fnatic is committing to other roster changes, this feels like a definite downgrade, even accounting for Astralis' form when he was still playing for them. Hope they can do something though: Regards

Better than being benched

I think blame benches a lot

2024-05-14 21:10

LMAO WTF

POG

fnatic are so back

Nice lets go!

It can't be only this right, there's more to come for sure

wow, I didnt expect fnatic to do a big signing

2024-05-14 20:55

-body next PLEASE

Interesting I hope he improved and won’t bait the entire team. Then he’s actually good Funny video though.

Huge for Fantic

Wow, gl

WTF LOL

Big man is back

Hopefully he isn't joining to be an IGL.

Interesting

2024-05-14 21:03

wtff

baitf is so bad that it can manage to destroy even fnatic. lawl

L and this will be the end of this team, disbanding is the next step and its coming fast and strong

its over for this man

decent move

2024-05-14 21:05

That reminds me. There is one team up I need to see. Jame + blameF Even as a stand-in I need to know who would save more.

Jame major MVP baitF CCT MVP Don't put them in the same sentence

Ok. I won't do it anymore, master.

2024-05-14 21:32

2024-05-14 22:13

Get a good awp and they're cooking...

Come back home kyuubii as sangal fans we are waiting you so much

well Fnatic never aimed to be half competitive so this fits the bill. Such an expensive downgrade tho

Wild but good for fnatic

afro should be benched if he cant get consistent soon

unexpected but kinda cool

2024-05-14 21:13

lol so unexpected now get rid of afroo and take some good awp

2024-05-14 21:20

-afro next

2024-05-14 21:22

Well that is fucking surprising. Honestly a lil disappointed coz I thought BlameF would end up in a decent team but hopefully this is the start of a t1 revamp for Fnatic.

Who the fuck is even igling in this shit

oh no

huge downgrade for blameF .. no clue what he was thinking by signing with fnatic

2024-05-14 21:24

nobody else would take him

Well as rifler maybe he can work something. But who is fnatic igl in first place?

2024-05-14 21:26

Bodyyy

2024-05-14 21:40

This team is so out of touch, that I could even predicted it...

give it 6 months for blameF to take over

2024-05-14 21:54

2024-05-14 21:27

great opportunity to get a major sticker with this team. probably -afro +acor better sniper

2024-05-14 21:28

Dont care what people say blamef can definitely do better than this

2024-05-14 21:29

Fnatic never to be taken serious again

2024-05-14 21:31

I mean, Were they even discussed in like 2-3 years?

2024-05-14 21:39

Huge W

2024-05-14 21:34

Despite all the baitF hate, this is a huge W for fnatic. I can see this as a massive improvement for them. Not like he will ever be a strat caller ever again after the astralis fiasco.

good pickup if he's not IGLing

2024-05-14 21:37

0/8

I mean, even NIP would've been a better choice

2024-05-14 21:38

It's a W. I get it, he's a baiter. But baiting aside he's a very good player. And even baiting lol

World #1 Old-six.

looks like back to tier 3

fnatic bout to mop up t1

XD kek XD

more changes incoming

Top 50 now

First of all, they need a decent IGL, then mb a better coach

krimz is not washed lol bodyy you'll have to wait because you cant constantly repalce IGL's and currently there is none afroo can easily be replaced but also none benched or free agent atm

Maybe krimz isnt washed but my point was that he has no interest in this game and zero motivation He gets his 40k paycheck and enjoys life

2024-05-14 22:01

8/8 good move

2024-05-14 21:49

Man this guy should have gone to G2. So sad.

2024-05-14 21:51

Wtf, what a waste of his talent..

most s tier wins in csgo history according to liquipedia time to start in cs2 aswell fnatic always good at start of new esports

2024-05-14 21:55

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Good for fnatic

2024-05-14 21:57

noway bro made a career out of baiting for stats nauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

wtfff why did he waste his talent on this org?

2024-05-14 21:59

no one else wanted him, it doesn't take a genius to realize that.

2024-05-14 22:19

more people than JKS atleast but im sure he just wanted to try and make something work sooner than later so he doesnt miss major.

2024-05-14 22:21

m8, it was likely the best offer he could've gotten. His stock is bottom tier right now and is tainted as a player due to his rep as a result of his playstyle. People or fools like Thorin, Mauisnake, and others can defend him all they want and argue he's actually world class or whatever but it doesn't change the fact that he's clearly unwanted.

2024-05-14 22:24

but he just signed a contract. How is he clearly unwanted when he is now a starplayer for a new team?

2024-05-15 01:16

Did you read the previous posting unwanted by "better" Teams Fanatic certainly can use him in Tier 2/3.

2024-05-15 02:06

No ofcourse I didnt read a comment from PsychoLogical25 on HLTV forums. He has never posted anything of value

2024-05-15 03:05

they'll soon be tier1 thanks to him

2024-05-16 20:44

ez 13:0 for insilio

2024-05-14 22:06

Wp back to tier 3 where he belongs, had no idea how this baiter got so much time in tier 1, teams really took long enough to realise he brings really little value to squad since he requires space of whole continent to operate properly. Yesterday was late. Bye bye stat padder, you won't be missed.

2024-05-14 22:17

very happy for him

2024-05-14 22:14

lol unexpected

The best CCT player

Someone needs to sign f0rest man

2024-05-14 22:31

sadly rip for blameF im gonna cry all night :(((

2024-05-14 22:35

Huge! Excited to see what fnatic will cook

2024-05-14 22:39

just when we thought fnatic couldn't become any more unlikeable

2024-05-14 22:42

oh....

2024-05-14 22:44

Damnnn idk man not the best

2024-05-14 22:48

W for fnatic but unless blameF turbo carries this is going to be a disaster move for him

2024-05-14 23:01

super good pick for fnatic, not sure if it is ideal for blameF but worth of trying as biggest teams seem to not have doors open

2024-05-14 23:18

Why would they ? Every team he has been a part of since Heroic has been an embarrassing fail

2024-05-15 00:39

lucky af, after astralis he can be happy he got a job

2024-05-14 23:26

Good , now replace Afro

2024-05-14 23:34

>blameF will play the star positions as a second voice they built the excuse for being last alive right into his contract. dead team.

2024-05-14 23:35

Roflmao. At least he's off the bench I guess. Still way too good of a place for him I think, hé belongs in CCT.

Top 10 rifle in the world you talking about

2024-05-14 23:56

Surely, just one look at his trophy cabinet and it's clear he's one of the all-time greats 🤣

2024-05-15 08:24

BlameF is better than NiKo atm

2024-05-15 00:28

At baiting, for sure.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhh

2024-05-14 23:46

big L to blamef. He deserved better team, fnatic is tier3/4 team at best, blamef could fit perfectly in g2, CoL, navi, even Falcons.

2024-05-14 23:58

+1 for Falcons. He belongs in a graveyard team.

2024-05-15 09:30

actually an ok signing, I think he could fit

2024-05-15 00:00

im sure he's playing for free

2024-05-15 00:22

surprised fnatic actually put up the money for this

2024-05-15 00:26

Glad to see him back in action.

-bodyy +Boombl4 -KRIMZ +jks -afro +SunPuyus

2024-05-15 00:32

Not that bad signing, he has a chance to show if he can carry a tier2 team. Which he realistically should, if he is half as good as he is supposed to be

An upgrade for sure but i don't like this guy at all. He will bait and prioritize his own stats over team as he did every single time. Why can't we just get top tier roster ? fuck.

2024-05-15 00:37

inb4 -blameF

2024-05-15 00:38

2024-05-15 11:44

man where is konfig ? I was hoping for a reunion...

2024-05-15 01:13

I mean sorry but what is this? Either some more actual good players join fnatic or blameF just joined a completely irrelevant tier 2 team for what reason? I am sure he had a lot of options

2024-05-15 02:02

Obviously he had "no" options !!!

2024-05-15 02:04

fnatic official stated that they are still buildng the team. likely nobody great available rn though, fnatic needs -bodyy/-afro most and who can u even get for IGL/AWP currently.

2024-05-16 20:46

Good luck Mr blamef Hopefully you can elevate this team

2024-05-15 02:11

This fanatic team is so bad to start with

2024-05-15 02:20

he's wasting his career there

2024-05-15 02:30

I actually like some of these pieces on Fnatic I don’t get people freaking out calling them tier 4 bots. They’ve lacked firepower which is exactly why they got Blame. Matys is a good young talent, Body solid IGL, Krimz still a good support. If they upgrade Afro to a legit AWP this team could do some damage

2024-05-15 02:56

You talk about firepower? Baitf is only able to kill when the enemy is distracted

2024-05-15 04:29

At least he can get kills unlike Kyuubi and Afro

2024-05-15 22:45

like every team has a baiter, its how u play cs lol people are obsessed with the word but baiting in pro play is a must

2024-05-16 20:47

I agree, I think Blame gets a lot of hate but most of his teams realize he’s good at his job even if he baits. A lot of guys do the same thing blame does but don’t even get the trades or impact… Your team basically agrees to play around you and set you up to close out rounds every team has a guy or two they bait for lol

2024-05-16 21:21

It's not like Fnatic could get any worse. As much as people dislike baitF, this may actually be beneficial for Fnatic. At least he's not IGL.

2024-05-15 02:59

BROTHER

2024-05-15 05:14

finally gl fnatic you should be back on the top with blame

2024-05-15 04:17

Hahaha Fnatic is really that dumb

2024-05-15 04:28

As much as I don't like BlameF. This is a good sign.

2024-05-15 04:52

now replace coach and get awper who can do something against tier 2

2024-05-15 05:04

this team is hot garbage, reminds me of falcons

2024-05-15 05:13

They need a star AWP to hang in T1 but they could at least qualify to events now.

2024-05-15 05:52

they need an actual tactical coach. They have British djL right now.

2024-05-15 06:34

LESGO

2024-05-15 06:04

We're so back. Now bench afro

2024-05-15 06:05

bench keita* he’s the main problem.

Wait fnatic still has fans?

Finally a signing to get exited about. Are we back?

2024-05-15 06:47

BAITF is back baby

2024-05-15 07:07

Fnatic? Why not ENCE?

2024-05-15 08:06

+blameF +smooya ez top 5

2024-05-15 08:54

wow, not bad

2024-05-15 09:35

blameF is underrated as F"#¤

2024-05-15 10:03

next -bodyy + gla1ve

2024-05-15 10:07

fnatic landed a jackpot blamef is so under valued cus people stupid

2024-05-15 10:23

-afro

2024-05-15 10:37

Happy for Blame! Hope he gets to shine in a non-IGL role, he got way too much flack for a dysfunctional Astralis

2024-05-15 11:45

dead team

2024-05-15 13:16

Oh shoot

2024-05-15 13:28

nice gl, too much hate on this mans name

2024-05-15 13:29

excited for the match. let's see how it goes.

2024-05-15 14:03

Interesting...

2024-05-15 14:18

now can they commit to a roster for longer than 6 months?

2024-05-15 14:22

no.

2024-05-15 18:41

-afro + sunpuyus -body + glaive And we are good

2024-05-15 15:11

gonna be funny watching Baitf stat pad since Fnatic lack real firepower, only for Fnatic to somehow have worse results than before they signed Baitf lmao. Its no coincidence Astralis is finding far more success without Baitf now, even though statistically he was "better" than his replacement. I refuse to believe any roster involving Baitf will be capable of winning any tourney's unless he is forced to entry frag or something.

2024-05-15 16:34

downgrade

2024-05-15 16:36

People in here seem to forget how dangerous he is as a lurker, riffler, clutcher ... BlameF is JUZZ DANGEROUS against ANYONE on the planet in a 1v1 with ANY weapon! Of course: IGL'ing is a no-no! 😎👍 I DO believe in this career move: GL, Benjamin!

2024-05-15 16:41

clutcher? blameF was never clutch.... wtf....

2024-05-15 17:22

A year ago he did this: youtube.com/watch?v=mxXCIM_D9aA 😊

LuckyF

2024-05-17 07:26

Top20 for 4 years straight: Indeeeed, he's "lucky"! 😉

2024-05-17 15:35

So you wanna tell me surviving with 1 HP isn’t lucky

2024-05-17 19:19

Luck is part of any game except chess, but he can't be a top20 player by only being "lucky".

2024-05-17 19:21

Okay chief

2024-05-17 19:22

But ok: He's one of THE most dangerous 1v1's out there. We will see.

2024-05-15 20:01

No hes not.. he needs 2 guys to bait for him and another for support. Gtfo.

2024-05-16 05:19

Oooh ... some "positive vibes" here! 😝 Ok, I'll back it up with stats: Top20 for 4 years straight. I mean ... if the "BaitF" thingy was SUUUUUCH a big "problem" ... as it seems to hltv users ... THEN WHY ON EARTH has he played for org's like Complexity, Astralis and now fnatic ?? Get the funk ... get the funk ... get the funk ... (some fancy human beatbox in the background!) 😎👍

2024-05-17 15:34

Why does he always gets benched omthen end uo in a leseer org? Bc hes not that good. All aim and no brains. He will end up benched again.

2024-05-17 16:52

"Predictions" on hltv ... Fair enuff. I just think that NO TEAM has managed to make the best of him. We will see.

2024-05-17 16:56

He's doing juzz faaaain, isn't he??! 😊

2024-05-17 17:15

mens join the fnatic fans now

2024-05-16 20:49

I'm just a fan of great cs! We wish him the best with fnatic!

2024-05-17 15:36

Even Fnatic doesn't seem excited about having him.

D I S G U S T I N G B A I T E R

2024-05-15 17:26

Agreeeeed most disgusting eco fragger ever

2024-05-15 18:16

Oh yes, I love this!

2024-05-15 18:38

Could be the start for fnatic to rise again

2024-05-15 18:42

It's definitely a start for me to start liking the team again!

2024-05-15 18:55

poor kr1mz...( best player ever)

2024-05-15 19:19

Despicable player in a despicable org, great day for hatewatchers

2024-05-15 19:54

he was consistent firepower in astralis wym moron, he is going to uplift fnatic 4 sure

2024-05-15 19:59

Defending BaitF in 2024 is crazy, the level of delusion is unmatched

2024-05-15 20:00

really, how many teams has this guy ruined?

2024-05-15 20:29

what has fnatic ever done lol? they are such a clean org in terms of reputation.

2024-05-16 20:50

they are b**t*sh

2024-05-16 21:36

kekw

2024-05-16 02:26

With no more free invites into franchise leagues fnatic realise they have to spend some money to play in tier 1 tournaments.

2024-05-16 05:25

Respect CCT MVP

2024-05-16 13:43

RIP the dead roster

2024-05-16 19:18

blockbuster signing LOL nt

2024-05-16 19:59

fnatic XDDDDDDDD what a downgrade

2024-05-16 21:20

Maybe getting back to the Fragger be was. Would be cool

2024-05-16 23:28

bummer for Fnatic, I love the org but my god, they are making the worst moves I've seen in my life

2024-05-16 23:48

Ah yes, they were so good for the last however many years, this will surely ruin them! lmao

2024-05-17 21:18

That doesn't mean anything, they have the money to make a decent team. I'm not saying they need to be a top 5 but come on, an org as strong as theirs building such ridicolous rosters...

2024-05-18 15:27
