Since the last roster changes in September, when Panico eSports consistently communicated both farewells and welcomes — quite some time has passed. This time, however, the organization has taken a far less transparent approach. Although their social media activity remained at a decent level, updates, especially regarding match results, were published with noticeable delays. Even though it was already known in November that Panico had failed to qualify for the ESEA playoffs, the official announcement arrived only several days later. Shortly after, a series of new player welcomes began, though the full roster still hasn’t been officially revealed. However, as an editorial team, we received confirmation of the complete lineup, so today we’ll take a closer look at the new Panico roster.
Panico eSports and Their International Lineup
Although Panico eSports has not yet revealed the full list of new additions on their social media, as we mentioned… we have received the complete set of players who are expected to form the core of the team in the upcoming period. The roster appears clearly international, with its foundation based on six players representing five different countries. The list of players is as follows:
Miji
W1nlea
Neks
PJJ5
Bud1nC4
S4nKy
In the new iteration of Panico, we will see both fresh faces and players well-known to the organization’s fans. The most intriguing case appears to be Miji, who, according to our information, is set to join the team, although he has not yet been officially introduced on the organization’s social media. Another new addition is W1nlea from Turkey, expected to strengthen the team ahead of upcoming matches. Neks also returns to Panico, and his “return home”, as the organization described it, suggests he will once again play a significant role in the project.
The roster also retains the Romanian duo Bud1nC4 and S4nKy, well-known from previous competitions. They are expected to act as stabilizers for the newly introduced system and help integrate the other players. The lineup is completed by PJJ5 from Slovenia, who is also set to be part of the refreshed roster and play a key role in the current rebuild.
A New Chapter for the Romanian Organization
The changes appearing in Panico eSports indicate that the organization is not standing still and is still searching for the optimal direction for its CS2 division. The new, international core of the roster could prove to be an interesting mix of different playstyles and experiences, while also posing challenges in terms of team cohesion and communication. The Romanian duo, the return of Neks, and the introduction of new faces suggest that Panico is trying to combine stability with a refreshed approach to the project.
Will this approach deliver the expected results? We will find out only in the upcoming matches. For now, one thing is clear: Panico is entering a new phase, and the upcoming games will show whether the chosen direction proves to be the right step toward better results.
