that's not what "REZ but older with more trophies means". Krimz was pivotal to those trophies and has played the same role for years. REZ has played multiple roles and hasn't found success in any of them. REZ has also won fuck all due to himself being inconsistent. even you yourself don't know what you've said.

Exactly my point bra… insane. Maybe theyre just best friends with ceo so np4them👀

2025-01-11 20:10

they need the points krimz still carries for ranking to get the invites which is why he is still there. I imagine he is next on the block.

2025-01-11 22:10

cool

Let's go Astralis

2025-01-11 17:04

2025-01-11 17:05

2025-01-11 17:07

2025-01-11 17:12

Not an upgrade for the potential of the team

2025-01-11 17:13

2025-01-11 17:15

2025-01-11 17:22

Why a danish coach?

2025-01-11 17:26

Because he is a young coach talent

WHY DOES IT MATTER

2025-01-11 17:53

Fnatic...What there is more to say.

2025-01-11 17:52

Krimz is the biggest check stealer in CS.

2025-01-11 18:07

had to leave him in for rating, he's gone when they can afford it in terms of points

2025-01-11 18:47

2025-01-12 00:37

Imagine how long krimz could have been in this team for if the godsent incident didn't happen

2025-01-12 02:56

that was end of whole Fnatic era they needed young addition instead the pig wanted his favorites

2025-01-12 19:39

The 'pig' you are referring to is a 3 time major winner. Krimz joined fnatic back 4 months before JW did, after their Godsent split, it fnatic mgmt's decision to bring JW back. Since JW's departure fnatic hasn't won a single S tier tournament. The young addition point, brollan was brought onto fnatic alongside lekr0 and golden ; JW played a big role in it + cArn. Please don't talk shit without knowing anything.
