fnatic bring back Lekr0

21-8-2017 12:15

fnatic have announced that they have completed the signing of Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson from GODSENT with immediate effect.

The 24-year-old moves to fnatic as part of a trade deal that sees Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman move in the opposite direction.

He becomes the second addition to fnatic's roster of the Summer, following in the footsteps of Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim, who was promoted from the organisation's academy team.

Lekr0 rejoins fnatic

This is Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson's second stint with fnatic, having previously represented the organisation for two months, between August and October of 2016.

dennis had been on fnatic's books since November 2015, when he was signed from G2 for an undisclosed fee. After his arrival, the team enjoyed immediate success, winning six international events in just five months, but then they went through a rough patch of form that resulted in a trophyless 15-month period.

"Dennis joined our team in late 2015 and his addition immediately kicked off one of team’s most successful eras in CS:GO, winning FACEIT, EPL, SLTV and IEM in just a few months," fnatic Chief Gaming Officer Patrik "cArn" Sättermon said in a statement.

"We are so thankful for the time we’ve been working together, and I want to wish him a big GLHF at his future endeavours in gaming and life.

"Filling Dennis’ position in the team is none other than Lekr0, a player we grew very fond of last year, and also a player we believe has massive potential that we hope to unlock in this new iteration of Fnatic CS:GO.

"From all of us at Fnatic I would like to once again thank Dennis and celebrate his amazing run with us. Also please join us once again welcoming Lekr0 back to our organisation!"

fnatic will make their first offline appearance with the new roster at DreamHack Masters Malmö, which will take place from August 30 to September 3. The team's first match in the ESL Pro League will see them take on BIG on Tuesday.

With these changes, fnatic now have:

Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist
Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell
Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim
Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson

Jimmy "⁠Jumpy⁠" Berndtsson (coach)

znajder isn't that bad or disco they just had every match 4v5 because pronax fragging was getting badddddd

2017-08-21 20:04

Lol, pronax fragging was last decent in 1.6

2017-08-21 22:05

well ya exactly...znajder gets more hate than deserves

2017-08-21 23:05

After that he won three majors. Fucking idiot Olof broke great team.

2017-08-22 01:20

he is very bad and disco is onliner bro.. he is on lan bot

2017-08-21 22:29

next move: fnatic: - krimz godsent: - twist and swap?

Cant til at least after next major

2017-08-21 13:37

rip sweden scene

LMAO, for the second time

Swedish CS officially dead

You're right better 3 shit teams just stick with same players forever and fade into obscurity

2017-08-21 13:44

2017-08-21 19:53

Great

-olof +olofsson

exactly what I thought

2017-08-21 13:11

hmm

Good move

How did we come from NiP nearly picking up the LGB duo Olof and Dennis in 2013 to THIS!?

Khmm fnatic era khmmm

2017-08-21 16:08

RIP Fnatic :( Had high hopes for them and then they just gid rid of a good roster again. And Golden is nowhere near as good as Olof was, serious downgrade.

They were back to their same roster that wasn't working, suprise surprise it still wasn't working, they need to make changes

2017-08-21 13:45

3 replies

wasn't working? Mate they got top 8 last major and were eliminated by the eventual tournament winners. And they were improving as well. It's better than the so-called french "superteam", navi, faze etc. They got the same position as SK. To say it wasn't working is just ignorant imo.

2017-08-21 13:47

They made top 4 with twist and disco doplan. Top 8 means they won three best of ones, they didn't win any best of threes or any match on the stage. Remind me again who is ignorant? Clearly you know more than the fnatic players, I wonder why olof didn't come to you for advice first?

2017-08-21 14:18

Top 4 in Eleague without old lineup, top 8 with old lineup. Yeah, don't become an analyst.

2017-08-21 16:41

i don't think golden's role is to replace olof, he's an igl

2017-08-21 13:58

Golden isn't taking Olof's role, he is taking flusha's as the igl. Even then Xizt would have been a better option but probably not possible since it's a NiP player.

2017-08-21 15:34

The roster wasnt working changes were needed. Olofmeister and dennis left because they wanted to.

2017-08-21 16:11

lul

RiP Sweden CS

fnatic > godsent

fucking swedes instead of having one super dream team now you have 3 shit teams

Who cares? Sweden already won 4 majors, now they can play for fun. Much better than SK throwing for IMT or teams kicking 2 players then taking one back *cough NaVi*

2017-08-21 12:38

im following the scene since the cpl days and im pretty sure your cs was never been that bad just imagine f0rest in fnatic or some of jw/flusha/olof in nip.. rip

2017-08-21 12:46

Having a team of 5 stars doesn't guarantee any success, if you followed CS for so long you would know that. Wait and see what happens, neither of these teams were going anywhere anyway so no harm in changing players.

2017-08-21 13:46

stfu outlaws will never become a tier 3-2 team

2017-08-21 16:57

What kind of argument is that, roflmao.

2017-08-21 12:54

literally bullshit. yeah everything does not have meaning after that you won a major

2017-08-21 13:22

Sweden has the best gamers, even HeatoN said it in this speech: youtube.com/watch?v=XhYhjmZJXG8

2017-08-21 13:21

We have 3 tier2 teams and alot of tier3 teams... yet no tier1 atm :((

2017-08-21 12:39

Difficult times for FNATIC but can be a master stroke

GODSENT 2.0

Olof destroyed Swedistan scene

rip

golden <3

wtf why not keep dennis instead of golden

cause they needed a proper in game leader

rip swed cs

not gonna work out just like the first time they swapped players with Godsent. Sweden just doesn't have any good upcoming players right now. They don't want to be poor man's Faze either so each way they are fucked.

2017-08-21 12:41

why no twist ?

2017-08-21 12:42

they have an awper... his name is JW, and he`s the best

2017-08-21 12:44

teams used to play with 2 potential awpers nowdays

flusha can awp really good

LUL but twist is good at rifle and better on awp

2017-08-21 13:38

JW is better, been carrying fnatic last 5 months

2017-08-21 13:39

I agree been awping like old JW and lekr0 and flusha are both capable of picking up secondary awp if needed but better rifling. Even krimz has hit good clips with a picked up awp in the past. Definitely think what lekr0 brings outweighs having twist who is a much better awper than rifler but cant with JW as primary (as he should be)

2017-08-22 05:28

fnatic tier3

Godsent will be better than Fnatic in the next three-six months if both teams stay together.

CLOWNFIESTA

2017-08-21 12:47

lmao

EZ 4 Olofsson

The end of Fnatic's era

2017-08-21 12:48

even worse team

2017-08-21 12:51

KICK GOLDEN SHIT & GET PRONAX =)

2017-08-21 13:00

Omg people saying rip fnatic, retarded move and etc Its known there are problems between olof/dennis and other three, so these two were forced to leave, both Olof and Dennis have chosen best possible offers. Fnatic need an IGL to unleash Senor VAC (he is gonna take Olof's star role) and rifler to replace dennis (lekro is the best variant)

2017-08-21 13:01

LEKRO 24????????????????? and golden iz fucking 23?????????????????????? and the trio is a bit younger than I thought but not by that muchorino, like add one year to all of em lul, maybe they have their birthdays late on le year :thinking

2017-08-21 13:05

they dont have olof but at least they have olof's son..

2017-08-21 13:09

and thats ggwp from me,time to fully support big

2017-08-21 13:10

lekro full time fnatic standin

2017-08-21 13:16

Problem in Swedish CS is the rivalry between NiP and fnatic. Dennis should play for NiP that is the best org and CS team in Sweden at this time. NiP should not be so hard on who they "draft" or pick up. They want the perfect cemestry but its time to bring in the big guns to once again take over the CS sceen. Olof and dennis should have played with f0rest Xizt and GeT_RiGh

2017-08-21 13:17

+1!

2017-08-21 14:01

nip can't even qualify for minor.best team in sweden.even old fnatic adademy reached minor

2017-08-21 14:10

really bad lineup

Dennis to?

2017-08-21 13:23

oh pardon me to homesent

This "Homesent" is the best Swedish team now.

2017-08-22 11:19

fck no. fnatic and nip still way better

2017-08-22 12:20

-JUMPY +PRONAX

2017-08-21 13:27

good swap

2017-08-21 13:35

If Golden can make the rest of the team respect his decisions there might be hope for fnatic, but tbh I don't believe that they'll be able to get back to top5

2017-08-21 13:53

It would be better if they took a disco doplan

2017-08-21 13:56

na, disco is decent at most, on lan he falls thru to the preasure and plays like crap botelele

2017-08-22 05:41

old godsent xdd they sucked tho

2017-08-21 14:03

Bad move XD rip Fnatic

2017-08-21 14:16

Lekro needs to carry hard 30-40+ frags and Flusha needs to activate his clutch mode and ez

2017-08-21 14:27

If Swedish teams wanna do it right for once, get rid the entire team like what Optic did recently.

2017-08-21 14:32

since pronax was kicked from fnatic, everything in sweden CS was going down. Nip should have done better with Rez and Draken, hopefully. fnatic needs some time to practice, so far i dont think Golden could be fnatic's "g1ave" . No one cares Godsent.

2017-08-21 14:49

Golden and lekro could be fnatics solutions to their problems, I feel like they just might get back to their past form vompeting for titles

2017-08-21 15:02

Fnatic big - Dennis better

2017-08-21 15:15

Why not twist?!?!?! Lekr0 is a bot!

2017-08-21 15:22

he's definitely not a bot, but he is lack of experience and we can see that. Dennis, Twist, even pyth are just another level

2017-08-21 17:13

fnatic "talent-destroyer"

2017-08-21 15:23

I see tears? Tears everywhere

2017-08-21 15:31

Golden and Lekr0 > Draken and Rez

2017-08-21 15:32

pretty overrated

2017-08-21 15:55

rip fnatic

2017-08-21 16:20

inc major fnatic in 2018. so ez

2017-08-21 16:25

so Nip pick up rez / draken when they can wait and pick up dennis and another Fnatic member? Wtf m8

2017-08-21 16:22

Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson Olof's son xD

2017-08-21 16:34

RIP Fnatic, legendary org

2017-08-21 16:37

We have a new Olof yeay!

2017-08-21 16:52

Its a better chance that forest and gtr goes back to Fnatic just like the olddays

2017-08-21 23:56

I cell like they are going to do better when they have IGL and changing olofmeister for lekro is not that much of a downgrade they are simular players, now they play like with pronax just with that - pronax +golden
