Fnatic withdraw from the ESL Pro League Finals as KRiMZ replaces Lekr0.
ESL announced today on their website that Fnatic will not be able to attend the ESL Pro League Finals. In an announcement from their Chief Gaming Officer, Patrick "cArn" Sattermon, he stated the following about the team's withdrawal:
"We regret to announce that our CS:GO team will not be able to participate in the ESL Pro League Finals in Brazil due to personal circumstances. We want to use this moment to wish all the finalists and ESL the best of luck in São Paulo."
ESL also announced that no other team could attend due to the short notice, either due to other planned events or Visa issues so the tournament will proceed with 11 teams and no replacement for Fnatic.
Since the tournament is only two days ago and teams already prepared for it, ESL stated no adjustments will be made to the groups.
On Fnatic's Facebook page, they also announced that Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson will be coming back to the team and will replace Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson, who will be traded to GODSENT.
Group A now looks as follows:
Immortals
mousesports
OpTic Gaming
Team EnVyUs
Team Liquid
