H2k Gaming have parted ways with Björn "threat" Pers, joining the team will Mattias "Snajdan" Andersen.
The Swedish team recently attended DreamHack Winter, where the team crashed in the quarter-final, following a 2-0 loss against Millenium. The Swedish team today announces on their web-site, that they have released the in-game leader of the team, being Björn "threat" Pers.
Where will Björn threat Pers head next?
To fill in the free spot Pers left when shown the exit-door, will be the former SK Gaming member Mattias "Snajdan" Andersen, who will also take over as the in-game leader of the team.
H2k Gaming now consist of following:
Jim "zneel" Andersson Mattias "Snajdan" Andersen Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson Niklas "niko" Johansson
With Andersen joining the team, it will be a reunion of him and Abdisamad "SpawN" Mohamed, who played together in SK Gaming back in the days.
With the changes H2k Gaming also announce that they will be skipping Arbalet Cup Europe, as a result of the changes. This also means that Jim "zneel" Anderssson will not take part in the All-Star tournament, where he was suppose to play for the all Swedish team C.
Stay tuned for the team to replace H2k Gaming in the tournament and which player will take over Anderssons spot in the All-Star tournament.
No, it's not a joke. He might be a great player but according to my sources the team were tired of them always playing "public" so to say, and that's why the change was made.

People say things like this all the time but never reveal there 'sources'. Just because someone says they have a 'reliable source' doesn't mean they really do.

I would be surprised if they did reveal their sources; if they did rakaka.se wouldn't exist.
And when WIWO says he has 100% reliable sources I'll believe him :)

I think that it's a good move somehow. It feels like Threat is not able to take his team to the very top which snajdan has a bigger potential for todo. With threat = no top placings, with = snajdan = maybe top placings. We will see and I wish them good luck!

Its not just about a good team leader, its also about induvidual skll and chemistry. You can have the best in game leader, but if the team chemistry and induvidual skill is rusty. You will fail with any leader.
Anyway i thought it would be better if they removed FYRR73 not THREAT for sure..

H2k is the new old school team.
Lets be a little crazy:
Remove Fyrrte for Vilden
Remove Niko for Tentpole
Remove Zneel for Ins (Since Threat better go to Fnatic)

why isnt h2k going to Arbalet Cup?
this is stupid, they make 1 little roster move before a medium-sized tournament and they are already freaking out
the fucking tournament is in Sweden, Sweden is small as hell, you don't even have to pay anything to get there
h2k could easily go to the tournament for practice but now they have to "regroup"
sad.
i wish a good team will take their place from sweden

I think you should take a better look at the names attending Arbalet Cup Europe. Too bad coL couldn't join though, we'd see them lose to medium-profesional teams.

Sweden is actually the third largest country in the European Union in terms of area.But its not so many people who live here. But the travel costs can be big.

I have always admired h2k`s taccs and smart play, and ofcourse t¨hought of threat as a great IGL, but maybe they needed a change and snajdan is a great IGL to.
Best of luck.

Well gl...
This is going to motivate the team, a change , but...the players that should be more motivated are SpawN and snajdan...now they are together again and I think they will make some damage.

why do all these teams have to keep skipping the arbalet cup!! it was shaping up as perhaps the most competative tournament all year but its just getting messed up..
but i guess its fairly nice to see snajdan in the game..

Too bad, i really like threat.. He is a talented player, and without him a lot of the Swedish top plays would not be where they are today. Hopefully we will see him in fnatic or something :))

I didnt like h2k tactikly.Their tactiks were like a mix team's.They were winning cause of aiming skill and experience of some of their players.With snajdan in lead they can bring new and more complex things to their game.
On the other hand I dont think that snaj and threat cant fit in the same lineup.they could take out niko or fyrte and use threat as a non-calling player.

For the record;
we're not going to Arbalet since niko can't go and there is no point of going there with just a new player and a random mixer, the outcome will be pointless.
Also threat is still under our wings, tho he is placed on the bench for now. He is a free agent to play where he wants but to have him completely needs to be spoken about with Rudy (COO) as our statement tells.
