Counter-Strike: Fnatic Playbook

By: Brian Johnson - Published July 06, 2006 at 9:07 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Fnatic is regarded as the best Counter-Strike team in Sweden and one of the best in the world. The Swedes also hold the title for the best team on de_nuke. What key elements make up Fnatic's winning strategies? Karpov answers this and more in his latest playbook on Swedish team Fnatic.


After placing second at ESWC 2006 and obscuring my predictions by soundly defeating Complexity on de_nuke, it was only natural that Fnatic join the ranks of community elites in the form of a playbook. This playbook contains detailed breakdowns of Fnatic stratgeies on de_dust2, de_train, de_inferno, and de_nuke. How big of a role does dsn's AWP play? How often is f0rest flanking? Turn the page and find out.

Fnatic's Roster

Sweden Harley "dsn" Örwall
Sweden Patrik "cArn" Sättermon
Sweden Kristoffer "Tentpole" Nordlund
Sweden Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg
Sweden Oscar "Archi" Torgersen

#1 Most teams don't mind playbooks being made. The few teams that actually use another teams' playbook as a guideline for their strats typical get destroyed because teams HEAVILY modify their strats from event to event.

Teams dont become the best team in the world by anti strating every team out there. If your teamwork, execution and aim is there, doesnt matter what you do the other team cant stop you.

This looks like it took a longtime.
If a team was intending on anti-stratting fnatic they would already know all of this.

I remember CPL Summer 2004 or something around that where gotfrag had a schedule of a new article coming out everyday for 2 weeks before the CPL. Playbooks, behind the gamers, interviews, predictions. Gotfrag needs to get back to that stage.
