Counter Strike 2: FUT coach coolio, will stand-in for Krabeni at the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong..

Emerging Turkish Counter Strike 2 (CS2) organization FUT announced via their official X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday that their coach, coolio, will stand-in for Krabeni at the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong.

According to an official statement from the organization, Krabeni is unable to participate in the ongoing Hong Kong tournament due to visa issues.

To address the situation, 26-year-old coach coolio has stepped up to fill the roster spot.

It is worth mentioning that, this is not the first time this year that coolio has served as a stand-in for the team.

Earlier this year, the Hungarian player stood in for lauNX during the LAN stage BLAST Rivals Season 1.

In that tournament, FUT was eliminated after suffering defeats to both Vitality and Astralis.

Krabeni’s absence comes as a blow to FUT, who were hoping to use more official matches to build team synergy following the addition of SunPayus.

The Spanish AWP-er joined FUT in October and has competed in only one LAN event with the team to date.

This means that by the time they head to the PGL Major Singapore, the full-strength roster will have only played four series together, all of which took place during the PGL Masters Bucharest.

In their opening match at the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong, FUT faced a tough opponent in Spirit, ultimately falling 2–1.

Following this change, the FUT roster for the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong is as follows:

AWP-er: SunPayus

Rifler: dem0n

Rifler: dziugss

Support: xfl0ud

Coach: coolio (stand-in)
