Fnatic and GODSENT have agreed to swap Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson and Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson, just two months after the players exchanged sides.
The deal will see KRiMZ return to Fnatic, who he won two Major titles with last 2015 in ESL One Katowice and ESL One Cologne.
“We’re happy to announce the return of KRiMZ to the Fnatic Counter-Strike lineup,” said the organization in their official Facebook account.
Last August KRiMZ, Robin “flusha” Ronnquist, Jesper “JW” Wecksell signed with GODSENT, while Lekr0, Simon “twist” Eliasson and John “wenton” Eriksson joined Fnatic.
But the change did not help the cause of both sides, leading to KRiMZ’ Fnatic return and Lekr0’s reunion with GODSENT.
“After evaluating the roster changes that took place this summer, both organisations concluded that a return of KRiMZ and Lekr0 to their respective teams is best for the future success of both squads,” said Fnatic.
Because of the changes Fnatic’s CS:GO team will not be able to participate in the ESL Pro League Finals in Brazil.
Also, Fnatic stated that Dennis “dennis” Edman would miss ELEAGUE next month due to personal reasons and that they will release information on who their substitute is soon.
