fnatic Rising add DEPRESHN to starting five, sheddaN as coach

The incoming AWPer takes the place of Iulian “⁠regali⁠” Harjău, whose transfer to another team is impending.

fnatic has announced that the organization’s academy team, fnatic Rising, has signed AWPer Filip “⁠DEPRESHN⁠” Jarkić. The 19-year-old is an FPL-C player that has so far made his name in the lower rungs of European competitive play with mix-teams from Europe and the Balkans.

The Croatian sniper will take the place of regali, one of the top-rated WePlay Academy League players in the development league’s first season. The Romanian AWPer’s future will be outside of fnatic as a transfer to another team is on the horizon.

DEPRESHN will be tasked with AWPing duties in fnatic Rising

A new skipper is also on board the new fnatic Rising. Former Dignitas analyst Mikael “⁠sheddaN⁠” Mellström will take the reins as coach, a position previously held by Benjamin “⁠cube⁠” Stabell and even first-team player Maikil “⁠Golden⁠” Selim who stood in as in interim when he coached the youth team while on fnatic‘s bench.

fnatic Rising‘s first matches with DEPRESHN and sheddaN in WePlay Academy League Season 5 are on August 1, when they face Eternal Fire and the four-time WePlay Academy League champions MOUZ NXT.

fnatic Rising is now:

Sweden Peppe “⁠Peppzor⁠” Borak
Denmark Mikkel “⁠Maze⁠” Sparvath
United Kingdom Sebastian “⁠volt⁠” Malos
Finland Matias “⁠Banjo⁠” Kivistö
Croatia Filip “⁠DEPRESHN⁠” Jarkić

Sweden Mikael “⁠sheddaN⁠” Mellström (coach)
