No Malmö Fantasy

As the Fantasy game cannot go live until all participating rosters are complete, we have not been able to start the game for DreamHack Masters Malmö as early as we would like. In the end, due to the last-minute announcement of the roster changes, the decision was made to skip the Fantasy game for Malmö, but expect it to be back for the next Big event!
