At the moment, the Swedish CS: GO scene looks to be at its weakest point ever. Ninjas in Pyjamas, the original Counter-Strike deities, failed to qualify for a Major for the first time. The kings of 2015 were Fnatic, but they only qualified for the ELEAGUE major due to a roster move which gave them three players with “legend” Cheap CSGO Skins status. The one current bright spot of Sweden’s long-revered scene is GODSENT, who shocked observers at the most recent main qualifier. They swept the Swiss format, going 3-0 and qualifying for the ELEAGUE major.
Lackluster Performance
After the Swedish Shuffle that split up the old Fnatic core, many people had GODSENT coming out with the better end of the trade. A month after the trade, I wrote an article about how GODSENT looked like they were struggling with no signs of improvement.
GODSENT have struggled all year, and have only looked good on a handful of occasions. Csgo skins for sale Even after the Swedish Shuffle, the team was still lacking in firepower. Robin “flusha” Rönnquist was back to being a legitimate star once he came into the lineup. However , the expectation that Jesper “JW” Wecksell would return to form and be a carry for the team never came to fruition. It also seemed that without a superstar to carry the fragging load, Markus “pronax” Wallsten’s in-game leading just wasn’t as effective.
GODSENT had trouble all year against tier-two teams, let alone tier-one. In October, GODSENT traded Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson back to Fnatic for Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson. This gave Fnatic the “legend” place in the next major, meaning GODSENT had to qualify.
