Before the main course, here’s a small appetizer.

With the teams gearing up for the RMRs, the transfer market is understandably quiet. Still, there’s been a bit of action worth noting.

First up, former fnatic and Cloud9 player Golden has been appointed as SAW’s coach.

Golden had already expressed his desire to transition into coaching, but we could not have guessed he would land in SAW. The Swede was already working with SAW during their first-place finish at ESL Challenger Katowice 2024, so we’d say he’s golden. Sorry, we had to.

Secondly, jkaem is finally getting his payday – though not from BLEED.

The 30-year-old has joined BC.Game, replacing KWERTZZ in the starting lineup. After joel’s departure amid cheating allegations, BC.Game went quiet for a few months but it looks like they’re ready to regain their footing. Adding a veteran like jkaem is a step in the right direction.

Lastly, a legend is up for grabs.

NBK- has announced he’s looking for new opportunities after parting ways with Revenant. Respect where it’s due, this is a two-time Major champion we’re talking about. However, sometimes it’s better to leave CS before CS leaves you. That said, we can definitely see NBK- thriving as a coach. Perhaps a path worth exploring.
