Fnatic has recently revealed that they have secured Tim 'nawwk' Jonasson's services on loan from BLEED. This acquisition is intended to bolster their AWP position in preparation for the upcoming Major. It's worth noting that despite previously competing in the RMR's closed qualifier with BLEED, 'nawwk' has been given the green light to join Fnatic and compete with his new team.
'nawwk' is set to replace Aurélien ‘afro’ Drapier in the roster. After a year with the team, 'afro' was benched, during which he maintained an average rating of 1.05 with the AWP.
Fnatic has been experiencing a decline in performance. In November 2023, they dropped out of the top 20 in the world rankings and have struggled to reclaim their position. Their recent elimination from the ESL Pro League Season 20 group stage has further impacted their ranking, placing them at 26th in the world.
'nawwk' has been given a second opportunity to qualify for the Major after being eliminated from RMR's closed qualifier with BLEED. His upcoming performance will be crucial, as it could secure him a permanent spot on the team. Fnatic has the option to buy after the six-month loan agreement expires.
