FunPlus Phoenix confirm they\u2019re returning to CSGO with GODSENT roster FunPlus Phoenix \/ GODSENTFPX Esports have confirmed their plan to re-enter the CS:GO landscape and that they\u2019re close to acquiring the former GODSENT roster, pending on the players\u2019 approval. FunPlus Phoenix have had a rather unceremonious start to their journey in CS:GO. Known for winning the League of Legends World Championship in 2019, they looked to enter the popular FPS title through Flashpoint in 2020. However, it wasn\u2019t smooth sailing. They picked up and let go of rosters: first Heroic, then Bad News Bears. Now though, following various reports, the organization has confirmed that they\u2019re indeed close to compiling a third roster. \u201cWe at FPX Esports have been in deep talks with GODSENT in the past several months regarding the acquirement of their CSGO roster,\u201d tweeted Petar \u2018Peca\u2019 Markovic, General Manager of the org\u2019s CS:GO and Valorant operations. \u201cThe mutual agreement has finally been made, and right now we are waiting for the players to review and eventually sign their contracts.\u201d We at @FPX_Esports have been in deep talks with @GODSENTgg in the past several months regarding the acquirement of their CSGO roster. The mutual agreement has finally been made, and right now we are waiting for the players to review and eventually sign their contracts. #goFPX https:\/\/t.co\/f2F8paDcfp \u2014 G2 Peca (@pecagg) December 28, 2020 Once the players are done reviewing the contracts and sign them, this is what their lineup would look like, in addition to potentially bringing current GODSENT coach Jonatan \u2018Devilwalk\u2019 Lundberg into the fold: Kevin \u2018kRYSTAL\u2019 Amend – Martin \u2018STYKO\u2019 Styk – Jesse \u2018zehN\u2019 Linjala – Pavle \u2018maden\u2019 Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 – Asger \u2018farlig\u2019 Jensen – In late-September, FunPlus announced Markovic as the General Manager for both Valorant and CSGO divisions. Now it looks like peca is making an all-in purchase for the EU roster that is ranked 19th in the world at the time of publishing. That said, however, peca previously confirmed that, regardless of the team acquisition, that FPX wouldn\u2019t participate in Flashpoint Season 2. Although one of the founding teams, FunPlus will instead \u201ctake [their] time and focus on 2021.\u201d \u201cWe don\u2019t want to make any rushed decisions, as our main goal is to build a promising, long-lasting roster,\u201d he said. The org initially expected to play with Heroic\u2019s roster back in March, which would have included Patrick \u2018es3tag\u2019 Hansen among others. Unfortunately, that deal fell through, which prompted FPX to target Swole Patrol\u2019s roster, though that didn\u2019t pan out as well. Eventually, they temporarily fielded the Bad News Bears for the second leg of Flashpoint 1, after only playing one match prior and forfeiting the rest of the first phase. While the FPX front office successfully put together a Worlds championship roster in 2019 for League of Legends, it\u2019s going to once again attempt to bring a similar metric of success for CSGO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
