Metizport announced the signing of a contract with 21-year-old Casper "SHiNE" Wennerberg. This transfer has caught the attention of fans, as SHiNE, the former leader of the EYEBALLERS team, returns to active play after several months of free agency.
The arrival of SHiNE in the team is interesting because it will free Nicolas "Plopski" Gonzalez Zamora from the role of leader, which he assumed after the departure of other players. This will allow Plopski to focus on his core game, which could improve the overall dynamics of Metizport.
SHiNE's Experience and Metizport's Challenges
Casper "SHiNE" Wennerberg was the captain of the EYEBALLERS team until March 2024. After leaving this team and a period of free agency, SHiNE played with Lilmix. However, the new contract with Metizport gives him the opportunity to showcase himself at a higher level.
Meanwhile, Metizport was in search of a stable leader after their captain Erik "ztr" Gustafsson left the team, and Plopski temporarily assumed this role. Signing SHiNE lifts the burden of captaincy from Plopski, which should positively impact the team's effectiveness.
Roster Changes and Upcoming Match
With the new signing, the starting lineup of Metizport includes:

Coach Ahmed "abdi" Abdi noted that while Sapec was an important part of the team, his new role on the CT side proved challenging for him, and the team decided to make changes to balance the roster. Fans will be able to see SHiNE in the Metizport lineup for the first time today at 20:00 when the team meets G2 Ares in the Swiss stage of the 14th season of CCT.
Coach's Opinion
The team coach Ahmed "abdi" Abdi commented on the situation: "Anton was an important player for us, but the role of anchor on the CT side was challenging for him. We believe we have other players who can perform this task more successfully on the T-side. These changes are important to ensure the team continues to progress and compete at the highest level."
