Jackinho benched by fnatic
The 22-year-old sniper has been removed from the active roster
After failing to qualify for the PGL Major in Stockholm, fnatic have decided to make some changes to their active roster. The first official change that has just been announced is the decision to bench Jackinho. After a 10-month long stay within the Swedish roster, he will now have to seek elsewhere to further advance in his career as a professional CS:GO player.
The 10-month long tenure for fnatic has been a difficult one for the young AWP'er who never really shined within the roster. With "JW" staying as the team's primary AWP'er at the start of his stay at fnatic, it proved difficult for the 22-year-old to prove his worth on the roster. Once finally given the responsibility of being the primary AWP'er, however, "Jackinho" fell short of the expectations and never really seemed to settle in at fnatic.
fnatic are currently ranked as the 23rd. best team in the world according to HLTV's official rankings, a rank that doesn't fit the organization's expectations, and therefore a change was thought to be necessary. Until a replacement is found for the 22-year-old AWP'er, fnatic will be using "smooya" as a stand-in in the upcoming events. After the removal of "Jackinho" the fnatic roster looks as follows:
Freddy "KRIMZ" Johansson
Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin
Alex "ALEX" McMeekin
William "mezii" Merriman
Owen "smooya" Butterfield
