Jambo Joins Fnatic 's CS2 Roster
Fnatic has announced the signing of Jambo from Passion UA , who will replace Burmylov in the AWP position. Burmylov has been moved to the bench after just two months on the roster. This marks the third sniper change for Fnatic in the past six months, but perhaps this one will deliver the desired results.
The new transfer is built around an already proven duo: Jambo has played under the leadership of fear , who previously played for Passion UA . He couldn't make the move earlier as Passion UA wanted to maintain the core roster after a successful major. Specifically, the team refused to release the player because they had already lost two players, and Jambo 's transfer could cost them important VRS points.
This transfer completes the initial plan and reunites him with fear , adding the necessary firepower to strengthen Fnatic 's lineup. The team aims to return to the top 10 in the world rankings.
Burmylov posted an average rating of 6.0 over the last month, and Fnatic only managed to achieve a good result once, finishing second at CCT Season 2 European Series #19. Meanwhile, Jambo has a 6.1 rating, which isn't significantly higher, but he has previously established himself as a strong player.
Jambo 's transfer to Fnatic is a significant step not only for the player himself but also for Passion UA . The team's head coach and the player shared their emotions regarding this move.
Coaching Jambo is one of those experiences you never forget. He always gave his all, wasn't afraid to take responsibility, and motivated others. We'll miss him in the lineup, but we're genuinely happy he has the chance to shine at Fnatic . Good luck, brother, you deserve it!

Jambo also shared warm words for his former team:
Passion UA is my second family. I'm grateful to everyone who was there — the team, coaches, fans. Here I grew as a player and as a person. Moving to Fnatic is a big dream come true. I'm sure there's a lot of great stuff ahead. Thank you for everything!
Fnatic 's upcoming tournaments will be the Galaxy Battle STARTER and the closed qualifiers for PGL Astana Europe. These tournaments will first help Fnatic build synergy and could also help boost their VRS ranking and qualification for the BLAST.tv Austin Major.
