Wildcard has officially confirmed a roster change that sees Sebastian "fr3nd" Kuśmierz returning to the team on loan, with Miłosz "mhL" Knasiak moving to the bench. The news was initially reported by PURE before receiving official confirmation from the organization.
This marks a homecoming for fr3nd, who previously competed for both Wildcard Academy and the main Wildcard roster last year. He steps in to replace mhL, another Wildcard Academy graduate who has posted impressive numbers this season with a 1.13 average rating across 120 maps.
During his six-month stint away from Wildcard, fr3nd maintained a solid 1.05 rating over 136 maps, demonstrating consistent performance that likely influenced the team's decision to bring him back.
The roster change brings a different AWPer into the lineup. The updated Wildcard roster now features nEMANHA, Cxzi, reck, HexT, and fr3nd as the active five, with mhL benched and splawik continuing in his coaching role.
mhL acknowledged the roster move by responding publicly to the announcement, though the specifics of his statement weren't detailed in the initial reports.
