Peter casle Ardenskjold leaves Fnatic — details of the coach’s departure
Fnatic announced on their social media that Peter casle Ardenskjold is no longer serving as the head coach of their CS2 roster.
For now, his duties will be taken over by Miks Independent Silinsh, who previously worked as casle’s assistant coach.
Previously, casle worked with teams like Astralis Talent (2022), where he was appointed as the coach of Astralis’ academy roster. He later moved to the main Astralis lineup (2022–2023), first as interim head coach and then officially stepping into the role. He also had a brief stint coaching ECSTATIC, and from 2024 to 2025, he led the Gaimin Gladiators roster, working alongside former ECSTATIC players.
Casle joined Fnatic in January 2025, but during his time with the team, they were unable to achieve significant success — their best result was a second-place finish at the CCT Season 2 European Series #19.
Overall, casle is known as a coach who excels at working with young talents, helping develop their tactical understanding, morale, and mechanical skills. This might have been a mismatch for Fnatic’s main roster, where the players are already at a higher competitive level.
It will be interesting to see who Fnatic appoints as their next head coach or whether they decide to promote Independent permanently. Let’s see how Fnatic moves forward in the 2025 season.
