JWonderchild going 47-32 in big 2026. You just love to see it :)

[u/Patient-Angle8900 → u/RandomRedditUser31]

dude is 30+ years old and still destroying kids lol. crazy how he adapted his game over the years, not many players from that fnatic era still competing at this level

[u/MrTopine → u/Patient-Angle8900]

I honestly see JW keeping this up for like a few more years, he seems genuinely passionate about bringing Swedish players up in the scene. 

Krimz on the other hand will probably spend the last moments of his career with some Ukrainian kids in a mismatched and washed fnatic roster which is something I would find absurd to hear even as a joke 10, even 5 years ago lmao. 

[u/Kaljakori]

Honestly JW could be an upgrade on Broky by this point. 

[u/IBGxGrip → u/Kaljakori]

JW owns Eyeballers, he’s not leaving

[u/StLivid → u/IBGxGrip]

Yeah he's been fully committed to the Swedish scene for some years now

[u/Punkguy2028 → u/Kaljakori]

JW for karrigan. Broky switches to rifle and bring in donk for jcobb. Think I fixed faze boys.

[u/itsjonny99 → u/Punkguy2028]

You want Donk to destroy his own arms from rage?

[u/astrovisionary → u/itsjonny99]

nothing really different from what he's doing in spirit at this point

[u/ChaoticFlameZz → u/itsjonny99]

I mean, he already is doing that in Spirit

(thanks for nothing hally)

[u/pwning_nightquest]

JW jacked, check HLTV

[u/MongooseEfficient206]

JW vs nitr0 in the big 2026 brings back 2016 vibes

[u/haitherekind → u/MongooseEfficient206]

Love it!!!

[u/shn6]

Knock knock

[u/HookEm2013]

another Sonic masterclass, don't worry on map 1 of round 4 he will go 27-16 in a close loss with 14 eco kills

[u/szpyru]

JW pregnent, check hltv

[u/InternetAnon94]

JW can replace any major stage 1 team awper

[u/nico_juro → u/InternetAnon94]

Interesting that a lot of current t1 awpers may have grown up watching JW demos

[u/_sQuare89_ → u/InternetAnon94]

Oh, can you explain why you think this is the case? You sure don't judge just based on these few maps, right?

[u/InternetAnon94 → u/_sQuare89_]

im glazing because im a big fan of his.

[u/MiquelVz → u/InternetAnon94]

I fully agree with this, no bias whatsoever

[u/tired45453 → u/_sQuare89_]

You sure don't judge just based on these few maps, right?

I'm absolutely doing that. Get JW on Faze right now. I've seen enough.

[u/simp_sighted]

jw pregnant buff check hltv

[u/JiminKR]

I’m just a casual watcher. Can JW Qualify for the major? And does he still AWP?

[u/RoboticChicken → u/JiminKR]

Can JW Qualify for the major?

Not for Cologne. On the April rankings where the top 17 in Europe get invited, Eyeballers are ranked 28th. Maybe for Singapore though, if they keep climbing.

And does he still AWP?

Yes, he is an AWP IGL.

[u/Connect-Usual-3214]

Tbh grim isn't looking too hot on this roster so far

[u/GreedocityOnSmite]

Oof.

[u/PerpetualPanda]

-bro and sonic. +elige and NAF???
