🇸🇪 KRIMZ's career in the 🇬🇧 fnatic jersey just came to an end - and he closed it out just 28 days short of holding the all-time record for the longest stint on a single team in CS history.

❔ The all-time CS record:
🇳🇴 rain (🇪🇺FaZe) - 3,539 days
🇸🇪 KRIMZ (🇬🇧fnatic) - 3,511 days

🕹 Worth knowing:
rain's record was officially recognized by 🇩🇰HLTV in April 2024, when he overtook 🇺🇸EliGE's previous mark. KRIMZ would have surpassed it - but a brief stint with GODSENT in 2016 split his fnatic career into two parts. Without those two months, he would have crossed the 4,000-day mark in orange.

A decade of CS, written in one jersey.
