FYRR73 joins fnatic

29-8-2012 20:00

Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson has as rumors nine days ago stated joined fnatic, filling the fifth spot left by Richard "Xizt" Landström's departure for Ninjas in Pyjamas.

With the announcement of the NiP CS:GO team, fnatic lost their in-game leader Richard "Xizt" Landström. Not long after rumors linked WinFakt member Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson with fnatic.

Karlsson left WinFakt yesterday, which made it pretty obvious that he would link up with fnatic. The Danish-Swedish team representing fnatic in Counter-Strike 1.6 today announced the signing of Karlsson.

FYRR73 is fnatic's new fifth

fnatic now have:

Michael "Friis" Jørgensen
Finn "karrigan" Andersen
Martin "trace" Heldt
Andreas "MODDII" Fridh
Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson

The new fnatic member will have a long list of events to attend with his new team as fnatic will attend a total of five events in the three months to come.

First on the tour is K1 League in Shanghai, where fnatic will take part in the Counter-Strike: Online tournament. The team will be in Shanghai from next week and will from the Chinese city fly to Iran's capital Tehran to take part in MGC Tehran.

After Tehran fnatic will to Porto in Portugal, to take part in the €15,000 PGS Ozone tournament. After Porto the journey is set for Bucharest and the €10,000 DreamHack tournament.

The last stop on the tour will be DreamHack Winter in Jönköping, Sweden, where the team aims to take pare in the first major tournament for CS:GO.

This should also confirm that fnatic will engage into CS:GO in the future and we could expect them to take part in more upcoming CS:GO events.

Patrik "cArn" Sättermon, fnatic's CGO, has released a lenghty statement about the signing, if you wish to read it, together with the rest of the announcement, simply click here.

FYRR73 is a great player, but he's not a good leader. We all saw that when THREAT left them and had to comeback as Lions team wasn't able to get any good result. I think fnatic will miss a good leadership that can make them lose the supremacy they have now. Good luck to them, I hope they continue with their winning streak.
