fnatic sign threat

fnatic have completed the signing of Björn "threat" Pers from H2k-Gaming.

The Swedish player was red-hot favourite to join fnatic and replace outbound Rasmus "Gux" Ståhl after helping the team win the World Esports Masters last month while acting as a stand-in.

He has now earned a permanent move to the Swedish giants, in a switch that HLTV.org understands involved a "friendly transfer fee" due to good relationship between both organisations.


The former EYEballers member is regarded as a suitable replacement for Patrik "cArn" Sättermon, who has voiced his wish to retire from gaming on a number of occasions.

"Its a big honour for me to join the ranks of the currently best CS1.6 team in the world, FnaticMSI," Pers told fnatic's website.

"We had an awesome time in China and I felt the chemistry between us was great. I think I will be able to bring some new positive energy and some awesome new tactics to the team.

fnatic's upcoming event will be the Extreme Masters European Continental Finals, from January 14-17 in Cologne, where they will feature:

Patrik "cArn" Sättermon
Patrik "f0rest" Lundberg
Harley "dsn" Örwall
 Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund
Björn "threat" Pers

2010-01-06 21:05:32
Wooow...didn't see that one coming :/
Everyone who was keeping in touch knew who's going to replace Gux.
I think it won't make a big impact on the team. They'll keep shooting the lights out for other teams.

That isn't something fnatic would do, they've thought this through carefully.

well, Bjorn had shown himself well at WEM but still it would be hard to replace gux:(
2010-01-06 21:17:06
good pick up, expected it too
2010-01-06 21:17:10
OMG!

Not bad ...
2010-01-06 21:25:17
expected as a replacement for cArn, but they will need a new 5th killing machine. I hope cArn stays long.
2010-01-06 21:26:02
sad to se the great gux quits. but threat is a great player he deserve this opportunity hf fnatic

GL fnatic GO Gux
2010-01-06 21:36:21
Threat is a very good player. But I don't think that his gaming style will harmonize with fnatic... IMO
Anyway Good Luck to them in 2010.

gee, what a surprise :D gl
2010-01-06 21:50:45
I wonder who will step in once cArn chooses to retire...
2010-01-06 21:52:22
"I want to wrap this up thanking all fans, sponsors, players and my family who motivated me to continue my gaming career." - cArn

I guess he will continue for at least another year :-)

2010-01-06 22:05:03
The question after that "new" year would still be pending.
2010-01-06 22:54:55
cArn won't retire until he wins WCG, im guessing
2010-01-07 16:38:42
i would love to see jumpy.. :D
2010-01-06 22:24:04
A rather odd replacement; the two enact completely different in the game and holds dissimilar features.

As already assumed by others, I believe this recruitment should be looked upon in a wider perspective.. Perhaps uncle Sam in Fnatic wants to give threat a few tournaments integrating himself in the team before Threat takes over from Carn.. Would make sense.
2010-01-06 21:59:03

2010-01-06 22:07:38
what's wrong with the other ones?
2010-01-06 23:29:12
i don't like gtr and don't care about the others :>
2010-01-07 17:00:48
that makes sense..
2010-01-07 17:38:15
Go Threat, Go!
2010-01-06 22:20:15
FNATIC, GUX Better all of you in 2 times so SUCK!!!!!!!111 ONE, There is no time I will not forgive you it...
2010-01-06 22:23:01
rofl... you high?
2010-01-06 22:35:07
Russian undistilled vodka..
2010-01-07 02:21:30
dat probably explains it..
2010-01-07 19:17:00
Must be, mustn't it?
2010-01-08 00:45:43
moddii or zet will be good choice when cArn go retired..
2010-01-06 22:29:12
gux retired?
2010-01-06 22:31:04

threat really shined with this group so good choice

depth of swedish talent
2010-01-07 00:57:47
could have picked up better players, I thought they were going to pickup moddiii or SpawN, Gux was such a huge part of their team, he was their most consistant and clutch player besides f0rest, interesting to see how they do without him
2010-01-07 01:08:42
i totally thought they were gonna pickup Nothing, this comes as a big surprise to me.
2010-01-07 01:17:55
totally expected.
with threat they already win one tournament.
it means something. best solution of all fnatic can take.

and i didnt think that gux > threat.
they both are pure insane. gux ~ threat.

This will make fnatic worse, and when cArn quits their downfall will definitely begin and soon they will be far from the top.
2010-01-07 02:22:49
fnatic is so shi*
2010-01-07 04:17:06
f0rest , GeT_RiGhT , dsn , THREAT , moddii is a pretty solid roster, now they need to pickup Delpan to replace dsn and they will really have a beast lineup.
2010-01-07 06:00:50
agree, or fyrr13 over dsn. but dsn is the teams captain (yes I know carn is stratcaller/ingame lead). as long as carn is in fnatic dsn will not be replaced but if he leaves, it might be different
2010-01-07 18:50:19
pretty big loss, gux was probs fnatic's mvp over 2009 (or maybe 2nd only to f0rest), so threat has huge shoes to fill.. would have prefered to see someone else (or even moreso gux staying) but oh well i guess gl
2010-01-07 07:01:17
bye gux :(
2010-01-07 11:23:47
come back please :(
2010-01-07 11:24:06

2010-01-07 11:36:57
GL to fnatic, not the same team for me till GuX leaved the team.

Wondering where is gux heading to...hmm.

2010-01-07 13:36:20
god luck threat nice
2010-01-07 13:44:56
did Gux get kicked by fnatic or did he want to quit?
2010-01-07 13:49:25

2010-01-07 13:56:13
nice replacement,but gux was nr1
2010-01-07 14:02:30
There is a mistake in the text... is Patrik Lindberg, not Lundberg... good luck threat.
2010-01-07 14:39:39

good replacment but gux was OMG .......of a Player
2010-01-07 17:58:33
threat is good, but hell... Gux was one of the "authors" of fnatics 2009 success. I really cannot think about this change as an advantage for fnatic in upcoming season.
2010-01-07 21:29:04
nice lineup
2010-01-07 22:56:30
yeah, threat is tha man xD
