One of OG Esports’ longest-standing soldiers has finally packed his bags. Maciej ‘F1KU’ Miklas, the Polish powerhouse known for his anchor play and ice-cold nerves, has stepped away from the Counter-Strike 2 roster after three defining years. His departure signals not just a roster change but the closing of a chapter that helped shape OG’s modern CS identity.
F1KU joined the European organization back in May 2022 after making waves with AGO Esports. His transition to OG was seen as a major move, one that came with expectations and he delivered. From Major appearances to a hard-fought top-four finish at the BLAST Premier: World Final 2022, the player etched his name into the org’s legacy. He played across 586 maps and racked up a massive 9,001 eliminations over a stretch of 1,161 days. That is not just a stat sheet. That is consistency, grit, and elite-level commitment.
In a heartfelt farewell shared on his socials, F1KU reflected on his journey with a message filled with class. He thanked fans and teammates for the memories and expressed pride in his efforts to always be the reliable anchor the team needed. “It did not always work,” he admitted, “but I did everything so the team could win.”
Despite some highs, the past season for OG Esports has been anything but stable. A disappointing top-24 finish at the BLAST.tv Austin Major and a failure to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 22 left fans asking hard questions. F1KU’s exit, though shocking to many, may be the first in a wave of changes as OG looks to reset and bounce back in time for their next shot at glory.
The team has no time to dwell. OG is one of the thirty-two teams set to compete in BLAST Bounty Season 2, stepping in to replace TYLOO for the online phase. The pressure is on, as only the top eight teams from this round will earn a coveted spot at the LAN finals in Malta from August 14 to 17.
Meanwhile, F1KU has made it clear he is not done. With his wealth of experience and a proven track record, fans are eagerly waiting to see which team will snap him up. His departure might be OG’s loss, but for another squad out there, it could be the missing piece they have been waiting for.
