In mid-May, fnatic announced the signing of Benjamin “blameF” Bremer from Astralis, marking a significant addition to their roster. The Danish star, known as one of the most highly rated players of recent years, quickly gained key positions on the team and became the “franchise player” responsible for fnatic's return to the top of Counter-Strike.

In an interview with Pley.gg blameF noted that the transition went smoothly, negotiations with the organization were successful, and their vision is aligned. He expressed confidence that he will be able to fit in well with the team and sees this as a good opportunity for him.

BlameF also stated that his personal goal at fnatic is to get back to the big stage of the game, which is also the team's goal. With his move to Fnatic, he has relinquished the in-game leadership duties he held at Astralis and has returned solely to his role as a riffler. Breimer said he is happy to give up the captaincy, as it allows him to focus more on his own game and shooting.

BlameF previously served as an in-game leader on several teams, including Astralis. He admitted that as IGL, he had to take more responsibility and analyze his actions. Specifically, he noted that with the original team with b0RUP and Buzz, they made significant progress, but with the new team with Stavn and jabbi, they were not able to achieve the results they expected. BlameF admitted that he probably didn't do enough to level up all the players.

BlameF's move to fnatic marked the beginning of a new phase in his career and will potentially strengthen the team in the fight for top positions in the Counter-Strike world. Stepping down from his role as an in-game leader allows him to focus on his game and contribute to fnatic's success as a riffler. Time will tell how successful this cooperation will be for both sides.
