Fnatic will change their CS: GO roster

The co-owner of Fnatic said that the organization's leadership will take steps towards building an international roster. Patrick 'cArn' Sattermon reminded the public that in 2019 Fnatic was ready to start fighting the top teams for the right to be called the best in the world, but then came the global quarantine, which destroyed their plans.

Also, Patrick Sattermon put it rather rudely in relation to the CS: GO roster of his organization:

It is impossible not to call us losers, given the current position of the organization in the CS: GO pro-scene. After the roster changes in 2019, when we started to fight for the top places again, a pandemic came, and everything began to gradually slide, including the results in tournaments that did not coincide with expectations.

Over the past few years, we have tried to collect exclusively Swedish rosters in CS: GO, and this has borne fruit. But looking at the world now, we think that the future belongs to the international team. The results of this decision may not look so good in the first weeks, months, seasons, but we believe that it will give us a base for success in the next 15 years.

Earlier, there were rumors on the network that Fnatic wanted to make themselves an international CS: GO roster. CArn cannot yet give any clear details about how the activities of the Swedish organization will continue to unfold and what exactly the club's managers will do.

Renowned French insider and journalist Guillaume 'neL' Canelo said that, according to his information, two British esportsmen Alex 'ALEX' McMeekin and Willian 'mezii' Merriman may become new members of the team. The first is known for his activities in the ranks of Team Vitality. Together with them, the captain managed to win such championships as Charleroi Esports 2019, cs_summit 4, Esports Championship Series Season 7 - Finals and others. For his work in ECS Season 7 - Finals, he and his team were able to earn the main cash reward of $ 225,000.

If Alex 'ALEX' McMeekin is a famous esports player who has earned more than $ 245,000 during his career, then William 'mezii' Merriman, in turn, does not have much experience of performing on the international stage. He has played for teams such as London Esports, Vexed Gaming, Cloud9 and others, and during his career he barely crossed the $ 20,000 threshold. By the way, he, together with ALEX, became part of the most sensational Cloud9 lineup. Then, according to the assumptions of some insiders, C9 spent about $ 6,000,000 on their roster, which then failed miserably.

The story with this roster took place in the last quarter of last year. We talked about how ALEX joined the ranks of Cloud9 for $ 1,650,000, and es3tag became part of the team after its buyout with a record $ 2,100,000. By the way, you canread about it here.
