Fnatic, a Counter Strike:Global Offensive team which consists of (or consisted of) Robin “flusha” Rönnquist, Freddy “KRIMZ” Johansson, Jesper “JW” Wecksell, Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson and Maikil “Golden” Selim.

On the 11th of March, an article was published by french journalist neL, saying that Fnatic were set to pick up former Ninja’s in Pyjamas in game leader Richard “Xizt” Landström, who was recently dropped from NiP for Dennis “dennis” Edman.

If this transition is true, Xizt would be replacing Golden, a player who joined Fnatic from the academy team, Golden had to prove himself, as prior to this roster change, Fnatic’s placements were at a low, getting 5–8 in most tournaments. Golden had the hard and tedious task of molding Fnatic, making them great again, even if they had three veteran players who had won majors.

Fnatic had been given a golden ticket, a ticket to the top 10 in the world of Counter Strike. They finally had been given a chance to reach finals, or potentially win trophies.

Golden was an unproven in-game leader, and adding him to the Fnatic roster was obviously a gamble. Golden brought them to their first win in over what seems like two years. Winning IEM Katowice, beating FaZe Clan, where they had to go against their former teammate Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer Gustafsson.

The Fnatic roster are now are WESG, where they have reached the grand finals which they will have to face Space Soldiers. If the Fnatic beat Space Soldiers then it will be two tournament wins in a row.

Adding Xizt to this roster wont do any good for the Fnatic side, yes Xizt is a better fragger than Golden, but Golden obviously is the better in-game leader. In my opinion, Fnatic already have enough firepower with the likes of Krimz, Flusha and Lekr0, who all can have monstrous performances, Golden is a very stable in-game leader, who understands the game more than Xizt. Golden has his own unique style that fits well with this Fnatic roster.

Fnatic should stick with Golden, Xizt is way past his prime.
