Ambition in CS2

Hi@Carn,@Sam,@Samuelsson and@RossR

Everyone knows by now that Cypher is joining the team. But how do you go from signing someone like Jambo — which you said was a sign of ambition — to picking up Cypher? He hasn’t done anything noteworthy in years. Why not go for young players from the TNL who are actually performing well right now? Is it about money? Is it really about ambition? What’s going on?

How can you expect fans to keep watching if there’s no real drive or direction?

I honestly expected more, especially after signing Jambo.

I really hope Cypher is just a short- or mid-term solution. Otherwise, I don’t know where this is heading. And I think I’m speaking for most of the CS Discord community here.

I also hope you give a real answer this time, not just another PR statement — we’ve heard enough of those. Show us that you actually mean it when you say you have ambition.

And im not even speaking about Krimz who should've been replaced long time ago.

Loading...I had quiet some hope in the roster before the brake. And I still think you can create a great team with fear and jambo. If it is working internaly with BlameF - great. Keep him. Who I dont trust is the management. Why is it still the same person that showed time and time again, that they lack grabbing opportunitysy reading the right time for changes and creating functional rosters? We had the Alex phase, the roej and nicodooz one. Than the whole boddy afro combo that went far too long. Why isnt the person changed behind the team? We all know that nobody will respond to this and I stopped carring. But PLEASE grab the opportunity to give us a good team again with fear as a leader, jambo at the AWP and some passionate youngsters that are ready to grind their as* of next season.

Loading...@LeopoldLoewe Talking about "stop caring": On 11/04/2025, Fnatic said: “Over the coming months, we will continue to evaluate Krimz's long-term future within Fnatic CS2, and will keep you all up-to-date as our plans develop further.” No updates have been given since. On 08/05/2025, Fnatic said: “In the interim, independentmcs will serve as coach as we battle on at Tippsport Conquest of Prague continuing this evening.” Then on 11/07/2025, Carn stated: “He was interim coach since May — we have enjoyed the tenure so far.” On one hand, they say they want to reach the top again in Counter-Strike, but on the other, we’re seeing fewer and fewer staff supporting the team. Meanwhile, Fnatic’s Riot department gets two coaches, performance staff, and analysts each title. And don’t get me wrong, Independent is doing his best. But we have a young IGL, leading an international roster for the first time. He needs a coach with more experience who can support him in that role. They're saying one thing, and doing the opposite. It would be nice if they kept their word and also gave the community more updates about the team. Right now, we get an announcement right before a game, without any possibility of interaction with a staff member about the decisionmaking. It feels like they’ve moved away from caring about Counterstrike.

Loading...In my opinion the lack of someone who can lead the CS division with real interest in wining is the main problem, the CS division needs someone like Cojo from valorant , someone who wants to compete in every aspect and look for good players to do it, and they need more support in the coaching staff

Loading...Kind of tired of short to mid term solutions... I dont really care what they said, losing matys caught us off guard, bc no way in hell you invest in matys jambo blamef fear and your replacement is cypher... 0.90 in t3 warrior Whatever this just shows the same since 2020, always falling short, tho this time was pretty close... Cairne or dawy wouldve been a good pick ups... It is what it is
