fnatic to WEM with standin

Arbalet Cup Europe saw fnatic withdraw their participation for the event, without a reason to it – The Swedes now put some words on why they skip the event.

Late last night we reported that fnatic would not be attending after all. At first there was no reason behind the withdrawal, but the team now enlightens us why.

Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl will not be able to attend World Esports Masters due to family commitments and is moving during the time of the event. This forces fnatic to play with a standin for the event and skip Arbalet Cup Europe in order to sort their preparations for the event in China.


Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl will not attend WEM

Sam Mathews, Managing Director of fnatic explains:

"It seems many things have come at once and has meant with the time between tournaments and people having commitments has meant that it has severely affected our preparation for the events in December, to adequately prepare for WEM without GUX we will need time to go back to the roots and get thing on track once again. However, we will try our best to bring our A game to WEM, that you have come to expect and love about the CS 1.6 team in 2009."

Who the standin will be is yet to be confirmed, but confirmed is that fnatic will be attending World Esports Masters, due to take place 12-20 of December in Hangzhou, China. Stay tuned for updates regarding who fnatic will use as standin for the event.

In my opinion, LUq is much better than pasha, he is more consistent, probably always playing really good and he is very good with m4/ak too while pasha not really, he is always using awp if he can. Plus LUq is much experienced than pasha.

True.But on the other hand, I think Luq is the more incosistent player og AGAIN.Plus some times plays very sloppy.HE van do crazy stuff but he can fail miserably in other cases.I dont know if pasha is relatively new and have the prospect to be better.Luq have been in there for ages, and doesn't seem to improve lately.But thats just mt thoughs. 2009
