The Fisher College Counter-Strike 2 roster has effectively disbanded in the professional tournament circuit, according to sources. Players have chosen to pursue separate paths outside their mandatory collegiate matches, citing different priorities and goals within the competitive scene.
Some team members are seeking opportunities with other organizations, while others want to explore different in-game roles or reduce their practice and competition schedule. This decision follows an exceptional Spring semester where Alexander "AlekS" Andersson and teammates secured second-place finishes at FRAG York 2026 and FRAG 20, while also earning a spot at PGL Astana 2026—marking a historic first for a collegiate squad at an S-tier tournament.
The roster had been inactive since summer break began, with European players returning home and Tommy "corn" Eckhart departing after graduation. Milan "CrePoW" Libbrecht has become the first player to secure a new position, joining DETONATE to replace Arush "arush" Kumra. This move reunites him with former Fisher College teammate Matthew "tatm" Munro, with whom he previously competed from September 2024 through March 2025.
CrePoW revealed his decision to conclude the Fisher College project stems from his desire to transition into an AWPing role and build something new from scratch with fresh teammates, concepts, and leadership. Nils "ReFuZR" Groot shared similar thoughts, describing the split as a natural evolution driven by contrasting visions for their Counter-Strike 2 careers. The players will maintain their collegiate partnership as a mixed roster.
CrePoW's first LAN appearance with DETONATE is scheduled for this weekend at FRAG Midwest: St. Louis. Tonight, he and his new squad face Villainous in the ESL Challenger League Season 52 Cup lower bracket at 9:00 PM.
