JW trolls new Astralis reshuffle by mentioning GODSENT

In his tweet, JW wrote: “Did you guys learn nothing from the GODSENT shuffle?”, which caused a lively reaction in the esports community.

What happened in GODSENT ?

In 2016,  Fnatic  made a player exchange with GODSENT . JW ,  flusha  and  KRIMZ  joined GODSENT , and  twist , wenton and  Lekr0  joined Fnatic . These changes provoked an internal conflict in Fnatic and caused a lot of controversy. The GODSENT roster, which also included  pronax  and  znajder , had great ambitions, but the results did not meet expectations.

Two months after the exchange, KRIMZ returned to Fnatic , and Lekr0 was back in GODSENT . However, the new GODSENT roster failed at the ELEAGUE Major 2017, failing to even make it past the group stage. Instead, Fnatic and KRIMZ managed to reach the semifinals.

Reaction to JW 's tweet

JW 's tweet caused a wave of jokes and discussions. The official GODSENT account responded: “We didn't learn anything either.” Twitter users recalled the old days when GODSENT and Fnatic were at the center of similar changes. One fan wrote: “You know 80% of the fans are too young now to remember these changes.” Users also mocked the failures that followed the 2016 swap, recalling a string of poor performances by teams after similar rotations.

Context of the latest reshuffle in Astralis

This trolling from JW is directly related to the recent changes in the Astralis roster. The team recently signed  cadiaN  as their new leader, which caused a lot of controversy. However, for JW , this was an opportunity to recall similar events from his career and remind fans of the dubious results of similar reshuffles in the past.
