According to some reports, it is rumored that the Chinese organization FunPlus Phoenix will be entering CS:GO by acquiring the Danish Heroic roster. FunPlus Phoenix are 2019’s League of Legends world champions, defeating G2 Esports in the finals effortlessly. If the rumor of FunPlus Phoenix CSGO is true they will be picking up the following players:

  • Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer
  • Casper “cadiaN” Møller
  • Patrick “es3tag” Hansen
  • Martin “stavn” Lund
  • Johannes “b0RUP” Borup
  • Frederik “LOMME” Nielsen (Coach)

The Danish team hasn’t looked the best in the past few months, getting only a 7/8th place at ICE Challenge, and failing to qualify for the European Minor for ESL One Rio.

Under the leadership of Benjamin “blameF” Bremer, Heroic were playing out of their minds, confidently being one of the best danish teams to ever be created, however that quickly ended with his transfer to Complexity.

The Danish squad were stated to compete in ESL Pro League Season 11, however just yesterday, Flashpoint announced that FunPlus Phoenix will be the final founding member of the league. There has not been any announcement from FunPlus Phoenix’s side, although it is likely they will publish the signing publicly in the coming days.

Why did FunPlus Phoenix choose CS:GO over Valorant?

It is likely that the organization preferred CS:GO as to Valorant for the simple reason that they wanted to choose an FPS esport which is very stable. Currently CS:GO is the most popular First Person Tactical Shooter and despite Valorant showing some very promising gameplay features it is still in question of whether it will be at the level of Counter-Strike or better.
