Loading...Yea tbh this was a good thing. It wouldve been terrible if they got an older “experienced” coach. With Independent, Fear now has the ability to run the team as he wants, while Independent focuses on analytics and team organization(practices, scrims, etc) it also will allow uninterrupted growth within the team. Yea sure Independent isnt super experienced but looking at coaches like zonic atm i dont think experience is everything. Not to mention with an older coach you get the possibility of him and fear butting heads which is the last thing we want. After everything else that has happened im glad they kept Independent and promoted him to full time coach. The Cypher pick up im still not too impressed or happy with but time will tell, at least with him the roles work out better. Anyways Independent isnt “salt in the wounds” we can criticize the org when they make bad decisions (not fighting harder for matys among many others) but when they make a good or even decent decision we cant complain like its the end of the world.

Loading...I wish all the players and fans farewell. I’ve stuck with and stood behind this org for a very long time asl well as defending them. But after this loss, and past players that we should have fought harder to keep, I don’t see this org going anywhere further in CS. Management keep making terrible decisions and not striving hard enough to get back to tier 1. What the future holds for this org is just another talent farm team for tier 2. I hope the players that are on the team and that join get treated properly but for me as a fan seeing and knowing where this org has been I feel pretty used and ignored. So for now I say goodbye to the team, the players, and all the amazing fellow fans that have been here along with me! Goodbye!

Loading...@Synd1cate That wont happen, and you dont want that to happen. Not only did we just sign fear and jambo for big and decently long contracts but the logistics of signing a whole 5 man roster is horrible. Normally when that happens within months of their signing players leave or heavily underperform due to the new environment. Though i dont disagree with the original post. Fnatic need to be aggressive in attempting to keep matys as well as finding a suitable replacement for krimz. The only issue is that fnatic historically doesnt spend the required amount of money and resources to field a tier 1 team. If top orgs are putting in 100% of their effort and resources into making good rosters in cs then fnatic is barely putting in 45%, just enough to get by. As the original post mentioned, we had several opportunities in the last 4-5 years to field a competitive tier 1 roster but decided to let go of incredible valuable players only to rebuild find new valuable players and let the cycle repeat. The effort isnt there for Fnatic, the execs and management involved with making a roster and spending the money just do not care enough about a cs roster as much as they do a Valo or LoL roster. Sad fact is they probably would have pulled out of CS if it weren’t for their long and storied history in the game as well as their large fanbase. The moment we all begin to dwindle further will be the moment Fnatic CS no longer exists.
