Swedish esports athlete Anton “Sapec” Palmgren has officially entered free agency after parting ways with the Scandinavian organization Metizport. The 22-year-old professional player, who announced his free-agent status on social media platform X, is now open to new opportunities as he seeks the next step in his competitive career.
Sapec had been a part of the Metizport roster since June 2024, contributing to the team’s performance across various tournaments. However, on October 1, the organization made the decision to bench him, ultimately replacing him with Casper “SHiNE” Wennerberg. SHiNE stepped in to take over as the in-game leader (IGL), a role previously held by Nicolas “Plopski” Gonzalez Zamora, aiming to bring a fresh dynamic to the team. Currently, Metizport holds the No. 72 spot in the HLTV rankings, as they continue their efforts to rise through the ranks in the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene.
Sapec’s career prior to Metizport includes stints with several notable organizations, including EYEBALLERS, Young Ninjas, and Begrip. Over the years, he has amassed an impressive $42,000 in prize money as a professional player, showcasing his dedication and talent in the CS2 arena since his career kicked off in 2018. Sapec’s three-month average rating, based on 63 maps played, stands at 0.95, a statistic that reflects his consistent involvement in high-level play.
With his departure from Metizport, Sapec now faces a new chapter in his career, eager to join a new roster where he can continue to grow and compete at the highest levels. His free-agent announcement has already sparked interest from various organizations looking to bolster their ranks with experienced players like him. As the competitive landscape of Counter-Strike 2 continues to evolve, it will be intriguing to see where Sapec’s journey takes him next.
Sapec’s transition to free agency represents an opportunity not only for himself but for any organization looking to leverage his skills and experience in their pursuit of esports success. Whether he joins an established powerhouse or a rising team, his next move will be one to watch in the Counter-Strike 2 community.
