Everybody is shuffling as teams start moving their chess pieces around to gain the upper hand in their journey to Stockholm Major 2021

With the upcoming Flashpoint Season 3 becoming a Major for CS:GO in Europe and DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 looming, teams are now changing around their roster to collect points so they can get enough points to qualify for the Major at the end of the year. Plus the new substitution rule from Valve where 20% of the points earned at the event will be taken as a penalty will be given to teams if they substitute at least one player during the tournament means the 6-man meta may finally go out the window.

Europe

Natus Vincere (Na’Vi)

The team will be playing in the upcoming RMR tournament with a change in their overall roster. This is due to the new rule enforced by Valve. The team said:

“Valve made it clear that they do not intend to change the rules. Na’Vi needs as many points as possible to qualify for the Major. In this regard, the team had to coordinate the final roster for the next tournament to avoid penalty points.”

Because of this new rule, the team has elected to keep Valeriy “b1t” Vakhovskiy in the team over Egor “flamie” Vasilev for the upcoming RMR tournaments as well as DreamHack Masters Spring 2021.

The new lineup for Na’Vi will be:

Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev

Denis “electronic” Sharipov

Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy

Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov

Valeriy “B1t” Vakhovskiy

Andrey “B1ad3” Gorodenskiy (coach)

OG

Team OG will be joined by Shahar “flameZ” Shushan as their fifth man in their CS:GO roster. flameZ will fill in the gap left by Issa “ISSAA” Murad’s departure. His signing, along with Nikolaj “niko” Kristensen in March stemmed by the disappointing result experienced by the team in the past couple of months.

“With Nikolaj and Shahar now joining the roster, we are confident that we can keep pushing the team towards the highest levels of Counter-Strike. Shahar is an amazingly talented young player who already understands what it takes to perform at the highest level, and we will do our best to offer him the right tools to bloom even more this season.” – Charlie Debs, OG COO

This signing up means the rumour of Michał “MICHU” Müller joining the team is just that – a rumour.

flameZ will be making his debut during the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021 which is set to start on 13 April 2021.

The updated line-up for OG now are:

Aleksi “aleksib” Virolainen

Valdemar “valde” Bjørn Vangså

Mateusz “mantuu” Wilczewski

Nikolaj “niko” Kristensen

Shahar “flameZ” Shushan

Casper “ruggah” Due [Coach]

FPX

Thanks to Jesse “zehN” Linjala who accidentally shared the information in a stream, we now know wo the team is negotiating for the new In Game Leader. The team is negotiating a contract with Chris “chrisJ” De Jong, who has been playing with the team as a loan from mouseports from the start of the year. FPX has replaced chrisJ with another stand-in – Miikka “suNny” Kemppi – but now we know that the contract negotiation between FPX and him is still ongoing.

The other option that FPX is currently considering is Alex “ALEX” McMeekin, who was recently benched after Cloud9 pulled out from active CS:GO competition. ALEX has substituted for the VALORANT team Prodigy before.

If FPX fails to sign either chrisJ or ALEX, zehN will be picked as the IGL for the team

Current FPX Lineup:

Jesse “zehN” Linjala

Martin “STYKO” Styk

Pavle “Maden” Bošković

Asger “Farlig” Jensen

Current considerations:

Christiaan Willem George “chrisJ” de Jong

Alex “ALEX” McMeekin
