With malbsMd 's recent move from M80 to G2 and other lineup changes before major tournaments and the start of the new season, BLAST.tv decided to create a ranking of the top 5 best player transfers according to former professional player and current analyst Lucas "Bubzkji" Andersen.

Gla1ve to Astralis

The most obvious transfer and number one on our list is the arrival of gla1ve to Astralis. Before gla1ve signed with the team in October 2016, the Danish squad was known as a perennial semifinalist but without trophies. Under gla1ve's leadership, the team won their first tournament in two months and won the first of four majors the following month. It was gla1ve who was the catalyst that allowed Astralis to become one of the best teams of all time.

Fnatic signed olofmeister and KRIMZ

Fnatic was also one of the top teams in the world when they signed olofmeister and KRIMZa. After failing at the second Major, the Swedish squad decided to strengthen the team. The arrival of young stars was a turning point for Fnatic: they finished second at ESL One: Cologne 2014 and then won the majors ESL One: Katowice 2015 and ESL One: Cologne 2015 in a row.

Karrigan joins FaZe... again

When FaZe originally benched Karrigan, it seemed like a mistake. However, Karrigan returned to FaZe and took the team to the next level. Under his leadership the team won Major, Intel Grand Slam and other major trophies. Karrigan's return to FaZe turned out to be one of the most successful roster decisions in CS history.

Vitality signed ZywOo

When the name ZywOo came up, Vitality didn't miss the chance to sign one of the most promising players in CS. Since then, ZywOo has won the Major three times, and is one of the top contenders for the GOAT title in CS. His move to Vitality was an important step for the team and proved that the best players can change the course of CS.

NAVI signed s1mple

Rounding out our list is one of the most significant permutations, the signing of s1mple to NAVI. While his talent was evident in every team he played in before, it was at NAVI that he became a true star. With NAVI s1mple won Major, Intel Grand Slam and other major tournaments. His achievements with the team made him one of the most famous and successful players in CS history.

As you can see, the history of the professional CS scene is filled with landmark transitions and strategic player transfers that have determined the success of teams for years to come. Each of these transfers not only strengthened the position of the teams, but also created new standards in the game, motivating future generations of players.
