Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell has officially entered free agency, having been released from his contract with fnatic following three months on the bench. The three-time Major winner spent nearly eight years with the organization, practically his whole CS:GO career, but will now be looking for new opportunities. "I will work hard on my game, try to stream some, and try to play in as many qualifiers as possible until I know what is next for me," JW wrote on Twitlonger, hinting at more Counter-Strike action, but leaving the doors open for

The first game of the day saw Heroic take on POGGERZ, and the result went much as expected, the Danes taking the series 2-0 on Mirage and Nuke. They move on to face Dignitas in the quarter-final on Friday. POGGERZ made the maps much closer than many expected, getting to double figures on both, without really ever threatening to win either. Shuaib "⁠D0cC⁠" Ahmad did the majority of the heavy lifting for his team, posting an impressive 98 ADR across the series on his way to a 1.27 rating. f0rest

Movistar Riders, one of three underdogs alongside Copenhagen Flames and Fiend that made the IEM Fall playoffs, have now punched their ticket for PGL Major Stockholm, becoming the first Spanish lineup to achieve the feat. They did so by beating Copenhagen Flames in the 5-8th place decider bracket, where the Danes will have one last chance at securing their own spot to the event in Stockholm. Fiend will have their own chance at qualifying when they go up against G2, who already have a berth in the Major but are

fnatic have announced the removal of Jack "⁠Jackinho⁠" Ström Mattsson from the active roster, ending the Swede’s 10-month tenure in the starting lineup which began when he was brought on to fill Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist's shoes at the beginning of the year. Jackinho’s start with fnatic was a bumpy one, as he wasn’t immediately given the AWP, his preferred weapon, while Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell and the rest of the team adjusted to the new change. After some time the 22-year-old was finally given the main sniper role in the team,
