nawwk benched by fnatic

The Swedish AWPer's loan has been cut short amid an overhaul of fnatic's roster.

nawwk leaves fnatic's lineup after just three months

Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson has been benched from fnatic, the organization announced on Wednesday.

The Swede only spent three months on the active roster after initially joining on a six-month loan from BLEED with a buyout option at the end of the agreement.

During that time he averaged a 0.97 rating in five tournament appearances, which most notably included the Perfect World Shanghai Major cycle.

fnatic returned to the Majors after missing Copenhagen with a hard-earned qualification through the European RMR, but they failed to pick up a single victory in the Opening Stage in Shanghai.

In the aftermath of the disappointing finish to the year, the organization benched in-game leader Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro and parted ways with Jamie "⁠keita⁠" Hall, with nawwk now following out of the door as well in an overhaul of the squad.

Their replacements are expected to be announced in the coming days.

fnatic's active roster is down to three players:

Sweden Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Denmark Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer
Slovakia Matúš "⁠MATYS⁠" Šimko

Germany Can "⁠kyuubii⁠" Ali (benched)
France Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro (benched)
Sweden Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson (benched)

As cool as it would be , highly doubt PUA will giveaway their VRS that easily , if S-Chilla wouldnt had benched himself then yeah easily. most likely woro/oskar.

i stopped trusting managers after EF CEO told calyxx aint leaving and jotta aint coming. There was some story with peca I believe too. Dont trust shit they say, its not like they can say anything like that in advance anyway.

He said that they first need a teamtalk before they decide if changes would be made, if I remember correctly, but it was to discourage that rumor going around, true. Guess the teamtalk ended up liking the rumor.

i highly doubt its the money , more like that PUA doesnt wanna give its VRS away rn for changing its core (-fear ; - s-chilla) so if they remove jambo -3 players from the core.

jambo is a caliber above the players fnatic buy out of active contracts. matys was 75k, blamef 100k... jambo should be somewhere between 250k-500k given the talent he has shown (teams like g2, faze, liquid may need a new awper in 2025) And then VRS too plays a massive part ofc, that would require an even higher buyout. fnatic don't spend and don't have that money

for sure on a budget. fact of the matter is tho they're spending 500k+ per year on krimz and samuelsson in salary. krimz is mismatched role wise ever since blame joined and it's not even samuelsson making roster decisions anymore. makes 0 sense...

Unfortunately, bad results end up costing orgs good players for future roster moves. Failure compounds in this case, and few good players want to end up on a team with a bad track record. Root cause is that a year in esports is equivalent to 5 calendar years for the rest of us.
