Bubzkji's five major transfers in history: s1mple's coronation in NAVI ranks only fifth

1. gla1ve joins Astralis

Without a doubt, gla1ve's transfer to Astralis is the undisputed number one transfer in CS history. This signing directly laid the foundation for the Astralis dynasty and led the team to win its first Major championship under gla1ve's leadership. However, Astralis, who had just reached the pinnacle of glory, almost faltered when Kjaerbye left the team. Fortunately, with gla1ve's strong ability to integrate the new addition, Magisk from OpTic quickly assimilated into the lineup. In 2018, Astralis won the London Major, and the following year they once again claimed the championship at the Katowice and Berlin Majors, becoming the only team in history to win four Majors, creating the Astralis dynasty.

2. Fnatic signs olofmeister and KRIMZ

Like Astralis, fnatic is another deserving dynasty team in CS history, but their era came a bit earlier than Astralis'. The foundation of this dynasty team was olofmeister and KRIMZ .

After winning the first Major championship, fnatic performed poorly in the 2014 Katowice Major, only reaching the quarter-finals. This was unacceptable for fnatic as they aimed for the crown. They decided to replace Devilwalk and znajder with the young talents olofmeister and KRIMZ .

It turned out that these two players lived up to the management's expectations. Their arrival injected fresh blood into the team and gradually became the backbone of the team. In the first Major they played together, they lost to their arch-rivals Ninjas in Pyjamas and finished as runners-up. But soon after, they won back-to-back championships at two Majors in 2015, becoming the first team in history to achieve this feat.

3. karrigan returns to FaZe

During the 2018 London Major, karrigan was relieved of his commanding duties. Perhaps lacking long-term confidence in karrigan, the Danish player was quickly removed from the team after the tournament and briefly joined Envy . However, this short experience in Mouz became his ticket to return to FaZe. With resource integration ability comparable to that of gla1ve , karrigan brought frozen and ropz to the top level of the world, leading Mouz to taste the glory of a champion again. After selling NiKo to G2, FaZe brought karrigan back to the team, and the Danish player put aside past grievances and reestablished a cooperative relationship with his old team. In the following years, they worked diligently and won the championships at Katowice, Cologne, and the Major in 2022, bringing FaZe to unprecedented heights. In this sense, karrigan 's return to FaZe deserves recognition as a notable transfer.

4. Vitality recognizes ZywOo

They say when God closes one door, he will surely open a window for you. Just when French CS was lacking fresh talent, a once-in-a-generation genius named ZywOo appeared. In the long and arduous battle for talent, Vitality chose to believe in ZywOo (despite doubts from some teams about his cheating) and had the last laugh by signing him, which also laid a solid foundation for the team's development in the following years.

Since joining the team, ZywOo and Vitality have achieved mutual success. ZywOo has won the TOP1 title three times individually and won the Major championship in 2023. Most importantly, he is the only player with the ability to challenge s1mple's GOAT status.

Currently, ZywOo has been with Vitality for six years, but we still feel that he is constantly improving, and we hope to see even better performances from ZywOo in the future.

5. s1mple joins Natus Vincere

Similar to the story of ZywOo and Vitality, s1mple and NAVI are also a prime example of mutual achievement. However, for s1mple, the journey before 2021 was relatively difficult. Most of the time, he had to carry the burden alone and compete against the siege of strong opponents. But fortunately, this situation improved significantly after 2021. With the maturity of electronic, the rise of top-tier blue-collar player Perfecto(RUS) , and the rapid ascent of newcomer b1t , along with Boombl4(Rus) 's proficient command, s1mple and NAVI reached the pinnacle of honor that year.

During his time at NAVI, s1mple has won almost all the honors. In addition to major championships, grand slams, and titles in Cologne and Katowice, he has also won 21 MVP awards and three annual TOP1 titles.
