Wildcard bring in fr3nd on loan as mhL steps down

Wildcard have completed the signing of Polish player Sebastian "fr3nd" Kuśmierz on a loan agreement from PURE, with Miłosz "mhL" Knasiak being moved to the bench after eight months on the active roster.

This marks fr3nd's return to the Wildcard organization. He previously competed for their academy squad during the first half of 2025 and received a promotion to the main team between July and September of that year.

Following his initial departure, the Polish sharpshooter has represented several teams including KOLESIE and PURE, while also serving as a stand-in for Betclic. Throughout 2026, he has maintained a solid 1.05 rating across 146 maps. His most notable achievement came with Betclic, where he led the squad to championship glory at Stake Pulse Beat I, defeating Liquid in the finals.

Meanwhile, mhL departs the starting lineup after posting a 1.13 rating since his promotion from Wildcard's academy team at the beginning of this year.

Fr3nd will make his debut for Wildcard at iBUYPOWER Masters FML on September 25, where the team is scheduled to face NRG in their opening matchup.

The updated Wildcard roster features Ethan "reck" Serrano, Jadan "HexT" Postma, Nemanja "nEMANHA" Đukić, Danny "Cxzi" Strzelczyk, and Sebastian "fr3nd" Kuśmierz under coach Łukasz "splawik" Jahns.
