On Reddit, user Thunderpick_io published a post with a picture of the most successful decisions in team lineup changes after 2018 in CS:GO, after which the team won many trophies.
The CS scene regularly undergoes significant changes in team lineups that significantly affect their results and the overall balance of power in eSports, so let's take a look at the best of them.
In Europe, it's the addition of Emil “Magisk” Reif from OpTic to replace Kjaerbye who left for North in 2018. During his time at Astralis, Magisk and his team have won 25 trophies from the biggest ones being StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, IEM Katowice Major 2019 and Intel Grand Slam Season 1 with a total of 2.000.000 dollars for these three tournaments
Also worth noting is the addition of Valerij “b1t” Vakhovsjkyj to NAVI instead of flamie in 2021, the player was taken from NAVI academy and after his appearance in the team, they were able to win PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and Intel Grand Slam Season 3, as well as NAVI recently won PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, in total the team after the appearance of b1t took 14 trophies and this is not the end, because b1t continues to play in Natus Vincere.
The best change in the lineup among the captains is Finn “karrigan” Andersen joining FaZe in 2021 in place of olofmeister, together with him they have taken 14 trophies and he continues to play for FaZe, so the number of trophies can increase. While playing in FaZe they took Intel Grand Slam Season 4, PGL Major Antwerp 2022 and IEM Katowice 2022
And also the best change but among the star players is the joining of Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut to Vitality in 2018, together with Vitality he won 12 trophies such as BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Gamers8 2023 and BLAST Premier: World Final 2023.
CS roster changes have always been an integral part of team development and cybersport. They not only affect the results and level of play of teams, but also bring a fresh look and new opportunities for teams.
