Degster is in MOUZ and Fnatic’s sights

In these times when teams consider making changes to their CS:GO lineups, many rumors arise regarding large organizations and, above all, very important players. In this opportunity, we have Fnatic and MOUZ would have their sights set on the Russian AWPer, Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov.

Let’s remember that, in this summer player break, teams are moving within the transfer market to put together a solid lineup and thus have a return to the competitive scene at the highest level. In addition, there is the incentive of the imminent arrival of CS2, so all top-level teams want to structure their squads in the best possible way to transition successfully.

In the case of Fnatic and MOUZ, they are two of the two historical teams in the CS:GO competitive scene. However, in recent years both teams have not been able to win major trophies, so strengthening their squads at this point of the season is ideal for them.

Reports claim Fnatic and MOUZ want to sign degster

According to Russian leaker Aleksey “OverDrive” Biryukov, Fnatic, and MOUZ are reportedly after Russian AWPer degster for the second half of 2023.

Degster is on the bench for OG, a team with only Maciej “F1KU” Miklas in the lineup. As a result, the 21-year-old Russian may finalize his signing with some other European organization in the coming hours.

On the other hand, many reports highlight that both Fnatic and MOUZ plan to change their lineups before the CS2 release. Some reports highlight that MOUZ is close to finalizing the signing of Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek, one of the best IGL (youth) players in the competitive scene. Moreover, siuhy showed spectacular play in the last Paris Major, as he led Team GamerLegion to the tournament’s Grand Final. As a result, siuhy would replace Christopher “dexter” Nong at MOUZ.

On the other hand, Fnatic also seems to have some holes in its lineup ahead of the CS2 launch. In the last few hours, rumors began that Dion “FASHR” Derksen is one of the players selected for OG’s roster revamp. On the other hand, other reports detail that Fnatic will release their AWPer, Nico “nicoodoz” Tamjidi.

About degster

Undoubtedly, degster would be an excellent addition to either of these two teams. Furthermore, his arrival at Fnatic would mean the imminent departure of nicoodoz, while if he joins MOUZ, he will replace Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás.

By the time degster’s departure from OG becomes official, it will end a phase that began in July 2022. The 21-year-old Russian AWPer has had an outstanding 1.15 rating, according to HLTV, over the past 12 months. Moreover, degster’s talent with his AWP is undeniable, so he is a coveted talent in the CS:GO competitive scene.

In this player break, most teams are analyzing their options to have a solid lineup for the arrival of CS2. We only know that the new game is coming out in the summer. But we do not know the exact date.
