Golden benched - fnatic seek to rebuild roster
"Golden" is no longer a part of the active fnatic roster
fnatic have just released an official statement regarding their newest roster change. The organization has chosen to bench the In-game leader Maikil "Golden" Selim as the first part of their "rebuilding phase". Since the start of the 2021 season fnatic have not hit the mark and the results that the Swedish side have produced have been lackluster, to say the least.
fnatic's head coach Andreas "Samuelsson" Samuelsson explains the decision in a statement regarding the news:
"Maikil is certainly the friendliest and best teammate in the scene, but the recent results have not lived up to the standards we expect from the team," He carries on by saying: "That's why we're looking to turn the page and begin our rebuilding process with new in-game leadership. You can expect more news from the Fnatic camp in the near future to bring us back where we belong."
The decision to bench "Golden comes after a disappointing performance from the Swedish roster at the IEM Summer event where they finished in the last place. More news regarding fnatic's roster rebuild will follow soon. The current fnatic roster looks as follows:
Jesper "JW" Wecksell
Freddy "KRIMZ" Johansson
Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin
Jack "Jackinho" Ström Mattsson
Maikil "Golden" Selim (BENCHED)
Peppe "Peppzor" Borak (SUBSTITUTE)
