An esports insider going by the name Vladislav "GromovCS" Gromov has reported that Wildcard is planning to swap out their Polish AWPer Miłosz "mhL" Knasiak in favor of Sebastian "fr3nd" Kuśmierz. If this information proves accurate, mhL would be departing the organization after spending nine months with the team.
This wouldn't be fr3nd's first stint with Wildcard. The Polish sniper previously appeared in their main roster for a brief period between July and September 2025, during a turbulent roster shuffle that allegedly involved Chat GPT assistance following the BLAST.tv Austin Major. Before that, fr3nd spent time on Wildcard's academy squad from January through July 2025, where he worked alongside the team's current head coach Łukasz "splawik" Jahns.
The timing of this rumored change comes after Wildcard's exit from the Thunderpick World Championship 2026 Global Qualifier, where they fell to BBL. Despite the team's elimination, mhL put up impressive numbers in the qualifier, achieving a 1.15 rating across nine maps and leading the team in performance. Throughout 2026, mhL has maintained a solid 1.13 rating over 120 maps. Meanwhile, fr3nd has recorded a 1.05 rating across 146 maps while competing in the European circuit with teams like KOLESIE and PURE.
Wildcard faces a crucial period ahead as they compete for qualification to the PGL Singapore Major. The team's first event with a potential new roster could be the iBUYPOWER Masters fl0m's Mythical LAN 2026 in Las Vegas on September 25th. mhL has remained mostly quiet on social media, posting only a cryptic "lol" recently.
