The iconic Swede is no longer a part of fnatic - a new journey ahead?
Jesper "JW" Wecksell is no longer to wear the black and orange jersey of fnatic - the team he has represented since 2013. The AWP'er is almost synonymous with fnatic and it is impossible not to mention "JW" when talking about the golden days of fnatic. Now it has been officially announced that the 26-year-old Swede is parting ways with the organization and entering free agency.
Throughout the nearly eight years that "JW" has spent wearing a fnatic jersey, he has collected three Major trophies, finished in the top 20 three times, and collected a total of 22 notable trophies at various LAN events. Together with his teammates at fnatic, "JW" has created many incredible highlights and moments that any true CS:GO fan will cherish and remember. Take a look at some of the best moments produced by the iconic Swede:
Despite the shocking news of the 26-year-old superstar leaving his home in fnatic, "JW" fans across the world won't have to wait for long until they can see him in action once again. Rekindling an old friendship between himself and "flusha" he has been signed up for the IEM Open Winter Qualifier for GORILLAZ. Whether or not he will become a permanent member of the organization is still unsure.
With the news of "JW" leaving, fnatic fans might be left scratching their heads as they had just removed their other AWP'er within the roster in "Jackinho". This, of course, means that fnatic will seek to find the missing piece to their puzzle in a new AWP'er. Academy player Iulian "regali" Harjău will try to fill the big shoes of "JW" for the time being.
The current fnatic roster looks as follows:
Iulian "regali" Harjău (stand-in)
