North American organization Wildcard has officially signed Polish rifler Maciej “F1KU” Miklas from OG, finalizing a roster move that had been anticipated in the community for weeks.
The 22-year-old joins Wildcard after over three years with OG, where he gained experience at the highest level of Counter-Strike 2. His arrival marks the departure of veteran South African rifler Aran “Sonic” Groesbeek, who leaves the team after a short stint.

A New Start for F1KU
OG benched F1KU at the end of July following a long tenure with the international lineup. During his time with the team, he played over 500 maps, averaging a 1.02 rating, and appeared at major events such as the IEM Rio Major and the BLAST.tv Paris Major, and multiple BLAST events.
Despite being only 22, F1KU brings valuable tier-one experience. His most recent form shows promise, averaging a 1.07 rating before his benching. For Wildcard, which has been undergoing significant restructuring, his signing is seen as a stabilizing addition.
What F1KU Brings
Wildcard’s decision to bring in F1KU is as much about reliability as it is about firepower. While his numbers aren’t superstar-level, his consistency, versatility in rifle roles, and experience against the world’s best make him an upgrade in stability.
For Wildcard, which has struggled with roster identity, F1KU represents a chance to solidify its core. His presence may also ease Stanislaw’s workload, giving the in-game leader more flexibility in shaping the team’s strategies.
Wildcard’s Current Lineup

What’s Next For Wildcard?
Wildcard will be the focus of attention in their upcoming matches, and their fans are eager to see if bringing F1KU to the team will bring the changes the team is looking for.
For now, Wildcard supporters can be confident that their team has secured a proven tier-one player with the hunger to prove himself again.
