Lincoln “fnx” Lau, a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> player, has resigned from the primary roster of the Brazilian team Imperial in order to serve the organization as a coach and broadcaster.<\/p>\n

“fnx is no longer in the five-man line-up as a player. Instead, he will bring his years of experience… to the squad\u2019s coaching role ahead of the next Major,” Imperial tweeted.<\/p>\n

The news follows a report in July that revealed Marcelo “chelo” Cespedes would replace fnx as the South American team’s rifler.<\/p>\n

Fnx announced that he will be coaching the Imperial team at the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) Americas tournament that will take place from October 4-9, 2022, in anticipation of advancing to the IEM Rio Major 2022<\/a>. He will be taking over from the previous Imperial coach, Luis “peacemaker” Tadeu, whose departure from the team was revealed this month. <\/p>\n

Fnx has spent time on several different Counter-Strike teams throughout his career, with sporadic pauses in between moves lasting for years. Now, the seasoned Brazilian player has made up his mind to call it quits for good.<\/p>\n

“In the last semester, it was five intense months to remember how much I love CS, but also to remember why I was out of competition for so long. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll miss playing, but if that happens, I\u2019ll change my decision and reinvent myself,” fnx commented on Imperial\u2019s tweet.<\/p>\n

An astounding sum of US$200,000 was requested to purchase fnx’s replacement, chelo, from MIBR. The two-time major winner signed the “Last Dance” initiative in January of this year, reconnecting with the rest of his trophy-winning partners and surprising fans at the recent PGL Antwerp Major 2022 tournament, playing under the Imperial flag.<\/p>\n

Even though most of the players had been on different teams for a number of years, the Imperial side nonetheless managed to place 9th-11th at the Antwerp competition, which impressed fans. In the end, it seems as though this accomplishment was little more than a flicker on the CS:GO radar screen.<\/p>\n

Fnx first became a member of the infamous Luminosity CS:GO team in the latter half of 2015, where he played alongside Brazilian esports<\/a> stars like Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo and Marcelo “coldzera” David. Luminosity eventually went on to awe the CS:GO community by winning the MLG Columbus major in 2016, which led to some other trophies during their time together as a team. <\/p>\n

Subsequently, he joined them at SK Gaming, where the team kept their dominant streak going for a little while longer. Ever since fnx has participated in a number of Brazilian teams from lesser divisions to improve skills of other young players.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that there have been multiple reports in Counter-Strike claiming that chelo will replace fnx, there have been no official statements. It is hoped that some information will be made public very shortly.<\/p>\n
