Counter-Strike

Today, the e-sports scene saw two of the best counter-strike teams in the world, fnatic and SK Gaming, making important changes in their lineups.

Few days ago, fnatic decided to drop Björn 'threat' Pers from the team due to the disappointing campaign at ESWC 2010. It seemed that the main reason for this, was the fact that Pers wasn't able to reach the expectations level of his team mates.

Few hours ago, the SK Gaming CEO Alexander "TheSlaSH" Mueller reported on the team's website that the former fnatic player Rasmus 'GuX' Stahl will return at the orange team. Also he stated that Stahl received money from fnatic to not play at the Arbalet Cup Dallas with SK Gaming.

For now on, fnatic will use the following lineup:

Patrik 'cArn' Sättermon
Patrik 'f0rest' Lindberg
Harley 'dsn' Örwall
Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund
Rasmus 'GuX' Stahl

On the other side, SK Gaming will have to attend the Arbalet Cup from Dallas with a stand-in and they decided to take on board the ex-MYM star Andreas 'moddii' Fridh, to fill the shoes of Stahl.

It is not sure that Fridh will also stay in the team after the event, but it is expected that a decision about him will depends on his performances there.

Arbalet Cup Dallas is scheduled to take place from July 14-16 with a tournament prize of $80,000 and SK will be there using the following lineup:

Dennis 'walle' Wallenberg
Johan 'face' Klasson
Jimmy 'allen' Allén
Robert 'RobbaN' Dahlström
Andreas 'moddii' Fridh
