nawwk benched by fnatic

8-1-2025 17:24

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:

Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer
Matúš "⁠MATYS⁠" Šimko

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

very likely

2025-01-08 17:37

Replace 1 super old guy with another super old guy. What is bc game doing xD

2025-01-08 17:59

I like oskar but lets be real, bench a 27yo player for a 33yo when all your lineup is old already. They need an younger awper

2025-01-08 17:45

i see its probably going to be BC.Game but i still think he can play solid tier 1/2 level and help teams with a young IGL like fnatic with fear now

2025-01-08 18:29

so after watching the new video made by ash he just leaked the new lineup oskar is playing in a new team/org with styko and krasnal

2025-01-09 22:19

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.

woro 90% oskar 10%

2025-01-08 19:29

not happening, PUE manager said no more roster changes are happening in PUA during this break

2025-01-08 17:50

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.

2025-01-08 19:30

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.

2025-01-08 19:59

how is fraud Samuelsson still in management. Even rez got kicked from NiP

hampus nawwk rez ?? ?? Swedish superteam incoming

rez to GL

2025-01-08 19:17

naww way

+fear? +Jambo? +Coach - who? I always thought fnatic should poach Ash, ZTR and Sl3nd from GL.

14 replies

it wont be Jambo ,cus i doubt PUA will give their VRS away (due to S-chilla benching himself)

2025-01-08 17:28

they are signing fkn casle as coach :/ jambo no way they don't have that money. it will be woro2k or someone like resoluxe

2025-01-08 17:32

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.

2025-01-08 17:38

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

2025-01-08 17:40

yeah youre not wrong here.

2025-01-08 17:48

casle isnt bad but also nothing special tbh

sounds like how one would've reacted to fnatic picking up keita in 2021 or nip picking up pita for the 3rd time 🙃

eh what did you expect from fnatic. They have been on a budget for quite a while now. Also I always liked pita as a coach ^^

2025-01-08 17:54

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...

2025-01-08 17:57

Pretty sure if they remove krimz there goes the last of their fanbase xd (even tho he hasnt been doing well the last months)

2025-01-08 17:58

Blamef has hater. They will hate watch and it will be like 2015 fnatic

2025-01-08 18:33

coach: casle +fear +molodoy/resoluxe

2025-01-08 17:35

Amkal will hold onto melody until he proves himself a little more and they can sell him for more than they bought the roster for

device to NiP check hltv

Does Deko speak english ?

Make fnatic great again I believe.

Fnatic in shambles

okay fnatic now you showing us you ready to seriously compete. Now you missed on Spanish awper but you have a chance to bring somebody decent like woro2k maybe

They will get fear so awper could be woro maybe bcuz he is ukranian as well and woro is still good individually

+oskar right?

Afro thrown under the bus for this. What a disgrace.

2025-01-08 18:00

Fraudfro stayed more than 1 year with fnatic. Should have kicked with the first 6 months itself like this

+Oskar AWP +STYKO IGL Please please :D

2025-01-08 18:15

Can we retire washed up oldies

2025-01-08 18:30

But Oskar is the best 50yo truck driver in the world. Also Styko could be a really good IGL imo. Im also washed up oldie, so I relate to these guys.

2025-01-08 18:37

As good as young and promising IGL bodyy??

2025-01-08 20:23

0/8

2025-01-09 21:55

I’d say 8/8

2025-01-10 08:15

Tbh, this org doesnt look like the org years ago won multiple majors and tournaments. What happened to Fnatic? Lack of money to compete with the others?

2025-01-08 18:16

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.

2025-01-08 21:33

knew it should happen but I am glad its confirmed

2025-01-08 18:26

sad:((

+fear/Snappi/arrozdoce/ewjerks and +Woro2k/jambo probably. Depends do they want rifle or awper as their igl.

2025-01-08 19:08

deserved, afro was better

2025-01-08 19:13

what are the most reliable leaks in the market?

2025-01-08 19:14

Fnatic: Casle (Coach), fEAR, Matys, BlameF, Krimz, Resoluxe

2025-01-08 20:28

looks underwhelming.. maybe just as bad as og and nip

2025-01-09 08:05

Krimz be taking even more paychecks

2025-01-08 19:16

fnatic is nuffin but a sad travesty at this point.

2025-01-08 19:20

+fear+jambo/woro2k?

2025-01-08 19:45

really jambo or non-igl Woro, or oskar?? shame that BLEED fuckery ruined nawwk a bit, he was so damn good in Apeks but got nowhere in BLEED due to org
