An emotional goodbye 😢🖤🧡

[FNATIC @FNATIC]

From your friends, from your rivals, from everyone here at Fnatic and from everyone who’s cheered you on:

Thank you, @Krimz 👑

[Freddy Johansson @Krimz]

After almost 12 years it comes to an end.

A massive thank you to Fnatic for believing in me, supporting my growth, and making my childhood dream a reality. Going from watching my idols as a kid to actually sharing the jersey with them is more than I ever could have imagined. For the past 12 years, you’ve been my home, my family, and my life. It has been an absolute honor and privilege to represent the black and orange for such a long time.

To all my past teammates, coaches, and staff: thank you for everything. Through the highs and the lows, we built memories that I will cherish forever. Each of you left a footprint on my journey, and I hope I did the same for yours. I could never have achieved any of this without you. Best of luck boys.

To the fans: I know it’s been a rough ride lately, but I want you to know that we showed up and put the work in every single day. Sometimes things don’t go your way, but I can honestly say I gave it everything I had until the very last day. I’m leaving with my head held high and I’ll always look back on my time at Fnatic knowing I left everything out there.

Just wanted to give a massive shoutout to Samuelsson. We’ve survived every project, many meetings, and chaotic times together. Thanks for being a very professional colleague but most important, a friend for life. You the goat.

The Viking has been on the battlefield for the last time in black and orange.

Over and out. #AlwaysFnatic 🖤🧡

KRIMZ

[Andreas Samuelsson @SammeCS2]

4282 days, an incredible era comes to an end. It’s been an absolute privilege to work alongside you and see you become a true icon of CS history. Thank you for the memories, the consistency, and your friendship. Always cheering for you next my friend. Legend @Krimz 🖤🧡

[FNATIC @FNATIC]

An icon of the game. A staple of the Black and Orange. The King of Kings.

All good things must come to an end: Today we say farewell to @Krimz after 12 years at Fnatic.

We have a saying here, and nobody has embodied it more than you, Freddy:

Once Fnatic, #ALWAYSFNATIC 🧡

[Andreas Samuelsson @SammeCS2]

Thank you Pavle for your hard work during your time with us. Unfortunately it didn't click, so we’ve decided to change the project's direction. Wish you the very best! 🙏

We’re also thrilled to introduce @br4tkocs,a young, sharp talent joining the project. Let’s get to work📈

[FNATIC CS @FNATICCS2]

We’re making a change to our CS roster ahead of https://t.co/9P9sHaGMn6 Masters & Draculan.

We've made the decision to move @madennCS to the inactive roster.

Joining the squad is @br4tkocs - a player we’re excited to see develop and make his mark in Black & Orange. Welcome to Fnatic!

[Andreas Samuelsson @SammeCS2]

Huge congratulations to the Hall of Fame @olofmeister!
Very well deserved for one of the best players all time! Legend! 🇸🇪🏆

Huge thanks to @blameFFFFF for 1.5 years together. We all appreciate your hard work, professionalism and for being a great teammate. I wish you nothing but the best mate!

Welcome to the team Pavle! Super excited to have you on board. Time to grind and climb the ladder together🔥

[FNATIC CS @FNATICCS2]

As we approach the 2026 season and a new Major cycle, we’re announcing a change to our Counter-Strike team.

Today we part way with @blameFFFFF who is transferring to another organization, and we want to sincerely thank Benjamin for his professionalism, impact, and contribution during his time in Black & Orange.

As part of the system we’re building for the future, we identified the need to shift towards a more proactive entry-focused and aggressive rifler approach.

To support that direction, we’re excited to welcome @madennCS - an experienced space taker, as we set our sights on the upcoming Majors and tier-one competition.

Welcome to Fnatic, Pavle!

[Andreas Samuelsson @SammeCS2]

Home from the Major with a lot of thoughts. Even if it didn’t end how we wanted, we grinded our hearts out this season and gained valuable experience as a group. The team showed amazing resilience, dedication and effort to improve every day, very impressive👊

Back to the grind🔥

Very impressed by the boys! We showed insane mentality the entire tournament, and won after a 6 hour final. Major secured 🖤🧡

[Andreas Samuelsson @SammeCS2]

4 straight LAN finals shows consistency, but not the result we wanted this time. The boys showed very impressive mentality all weekend. Focus next 👏 Thank you @KinguinNet and all hosts for great hospitality 🔥

[FNATIC CS @FNATICCS2]

Ahead of the upcoming Major cycle, we’re happy to confirm that after a strong interim spell, Miks ‘Independent’ Siliņš will step up as Coach of Fnatic CS2.
