Could olof be a s1mple in private? We know he didn't get along with pronax but was the issue bigger than originally thought and the team thought his skill was worth the sacrifice of pronax? Is s1mple officially too good to ignore and Olof is now slumping enough to break up with? Dennis is probably still under contract but Olof signed at the same time as the other 3 (maybe). Why would they leave without him if it wasn't an olof issue? Otherwise you would think he would be invited as well. Pretty clear that this was initiated by the 3 players who left fnatic and took the major spot with them.

when you were used to win and nothing go in your way anymore and you don't see a way out, you want to have that will of playing again and i think that's the main reason for jw krimz and flusha to join pronax

If that were the case, i would think there to be some word about it. Always a possibility though i guess.

Regarding why he isn't in Godsent, it could've been atleast partially Pronax's will for Schneider to stay. We know he left Fnatic before to play with friends, maybe he didn't want to play with the exact same Fnatic roster he played with before.

You probably can't just dismantle a top 5 team, combine it with a top 15 team, and suddenly make a top 3 team. I think neither of these teams will be as good as fnatic was but I guess it makes things more interesting.

Olof is probably the most free form player in Fnatic also and Pronax likes players he can get to do shit he wants. Pronax fnatic always had a round structure even if they excelled mid round.

Post Pronax Fnatic was way to free form to succeed and in hindsight its been proven that having structure and plan B's has been the dominant meta of this year and I expect that to continue.

Which makes me curious as to who will IGL. probably Dennis but with the lack of experience on the team it might be a while before they do anything decent.

this is the lineup Pronax wanted. He prefers schneider over Olof, and he got exactly what he wanted :D

Holy moly... well, godsent got the better end of that deal. I don't think fnatic is totally screwed, there is still things you can do with that roster, but olof will have to carry again!

I think the team that got shorted the most with this deal is nip. They aren't a bad team but it feels like they are falling apart more at each tournament... but now, what can they possibly change? Maybe poach olof and flusha? That surely will not happen, right?

Well if things go like ass for both NIP and Fnatic in the next few months I can see a Forest, GTR, Dennis, Olof, Twist/Xzist type combo possible. Although tbh thats kinda wonky.

Oh right, I got flusha and Dennis mixed up... somehow! O_o

I think the problem now is that fnatic and nip both have enough money to want to keep their players and both have rosters to work with... I know nip are not in top Form but maybe the org doesn't care since they are at most of the big tournaments. Not having that legend spot sure does blow, though.

Edit: typo. And fnatic will want to see where this roster could go, I guess.
