FYRR73 to fnatic - Report
By: Pus
Time: 2012-08-20 13:14
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson is likely to leave WinFakt in order to join fnatic, reports in Sweden indicate.

fnatic have been without a fifth player since seeing Richard "Xizt" Landström leaving the team in order to take part in the revival of NiP and start a career within Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. 

According to fragbite.se, who cite several unnamed sources, Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson is believed to be fnatic's next acquisition, which will entail saying goodbye to WinFakt.

Not much has been heard from WinFakt since the team picked up former a2g member John "wenton" Eriksson after Björn "threat" Pers decided to retire from professional gaming.

On August 17, fnatic CGO Patrick "cArn" Sättermon tweeted that fnatic's new player had been decided. Yesterday, he tweeted "73," with some interpreting this as a hint to Karlsson's nick.

The Swedish player will likely travel to Shanghai, China, with fnatic to attend the Counter-Strike: Online K1 League if he gets signed.

fnatic's possible five:

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

GOOD CHOICE really
2012-08-20 13:14:38
Good move, because FYRR73's aim>Xizt's. And FYRR73 has tons of experince in being an IGL.
2012-08-20 14:33:44
you dont know what you are saying...
fyrr73>>>>xizt ?
madman...

nice :)
2012-08-20 13:14:58
Well, that came as a surprise. Was almost totally convinced that it was going to be Arcadion.
2012-08-20 13:15:04
me too!
2012-08-20 13:21:13
yeah, cArn - master of Deception :D
2012-08-20 13:45:07
Its not for sure! When cArn left fnatic he tweeted also a message that pointed at fyrr73. And the 5th player would be trace
2012-08-20 16:48:29
Yeah, still keeping my fingers crossed for Arcadion! Probably my favourite player of all time :)
2012-08-20 17:04:30
cos' it was 7rac3 :)

2012-08-20 13:16:34
will be fyrr73 i think :)
2012-08-20 13:16:35
doesn`t really matter anymore ... only if they swith also to GO.
2012-08-20 13:16:36

2012-08-20 13:18:18
4th awper?
2012-08-20 13:18:24
he is pretty good aimer too.
2012-08-20 13:20:10
the only primary one there is friis, don't ask so stupid questions
2012-08-20 13:24:42
ya haha
2012-08-20 14:06:01
trace did only play with AWP in mTw because no one else wanted to! So there is only 3 awper in fnatic if FYRR73 joins!
2012-08-20 19:42:37
obviously they don't need an IGL when they have so much aimers and noone can beat them 4 sure
2012-08-20 13:19:41

Jeez, I'd never spend a month in China for playing a crap game called Cs Online. The game is so freakin' ugly. :o)
2012-08-20 13:20:20
China, on the other hand, is awesome :)
Refreshing change from Europe.
2012-08-20 13:24:13
I have to say I'm not really interested in asian countries. :-/
But whatever, a month in china just for this game would be too much for me.
2012-08-20 13:25:39
They're awesome :)
I spent a month working in Beijing. Probably the most fun condensed into one month that I've ever had!
2012-08-20 13:29:58
Asian chicks are sexy too - :D
2012-08-20 14:03:31

lol guys wait its not official
2012-08-20 13:22:59
fnatic has changed more in the last 2 years then SK has in its entirety...just kidding :p
2012-08-20 13:23:40
Could be good, karrigan igl?
2012-08-20 13:24:23
I see this as a waste for Swedish CS.
2012-08-20 13:24:49
good choice
2012-08-20 13:25:11
just drop CS 1.6 already and switch to CS:GO
2012-08-20 13:26:38
Why drop? Boycott CS:GO and stay with 1.6, players decide which game to be played.
2012-08-20 13:34:33
sorry , i dint get you. who decides WHAT !!!
2012-08-20 15:11:04
We (counter-strike fans) decides which game to be played. If we stick to CS:GO, of course they will choose CS:GO in tournaments. Just STAY with 1.6, I think there are no problems.
2012-08-20 15:44:03
you are so naive if you think that we can do something about that and we decide which game will be played:D
2012-08-20 16:31:49
nice joke mate
2012-08-20 16:39:41
source fans+new fans+a part of 1.6ers will make cs:go a hit, even if most of 1.6 base do not follow streams/buy the game.
2012-08-20 23:15:21
cod4 community seems really interested in GO too...
2012-08-21 09:17:06
If only ...
2012-08-21 09:17:15
careful mate, you will left behind
2012-08-21 14:20:53
no, sponsors and tournaments will decide which game is played. players will go for the money
2012-08-20 16:53:01
That's sad.
2012-08-20 16:58:54
it is, but as non-pro gamers we still have the option to play which ever game we want.

i'll compare it to football. its a great sport and i enjoy watching it, but am i going to take time out of my life to start practicing and playing with the hope that i'll become a pro player? no. will i still watch it? yes.

we can do the same with 1.6/csgo

play whichever game you want, but when it comes to spectating csgo might be the only option
2012-08-20 17:17:54
+1 nice explanation.. agree completely.. only i choose to be a proplayer not only watch it :)
2012-08-22 01:00:32
reason to play game which is worst than 1.6?
2012-08-20 14:44:47
Competition, maybe ? :)
2012-08-21 09:18:22
Nooo waay :0

2012-08-20 13:33:46

I've always wondered why players like Fyrr73 and kHRYSTAL never really made it to the top, always the semi-pro level. But Congratz FYRR73!

Go make magic!
2012-08-20 14:15:26
Actually kHRYSTAL was in sk.(with walle, robban, allen etc.)

Yeah, but you said "NEVER".
2012-08-20 15:42:43
i dont think calling LIONS/lemondogs/winfakt semi-pro is fair :)

As the 3rd best team in sweden, they were still a top10 team in the world. I think there is no team they haven't beaten at least once in the last few years.
2012-08-20 16:44:59

2012-08-20 15:23:42
Opting FYRR73 fnatic has made a clan of 5 players

who all can AWP very well.
2012-08-20 15:26:21
never seen moddii with awp
2012-08-20 15:40:35
yes i have seen MODDII with awp. believe me.

can't recall matches exactly but he has done.
2012-08-20 18:00:48
fnatic play with the proos #12 moddii was apsolutely great with the big green.. or it was #11 can't remember check on youtube or fnatic.com :)
2012-08-22 01:05:06
http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=198&&offset=50..

and also when he was in au team after kalle he was used to as a secondary awper.
2012-08-20 18:22:00
MODDII awp?
2012-08-20 15:41:05
#154
2012-08-20 18:01:08
So what, I have seen Edward with AWP. So I can recognize him as primary sniper or what? By your logic you can say that EVERY player can AWP very well.
2012-08-20 19:21:04
i haven't ever said that moddii is/was the primary awper.

http://www.hltv.org/?pageid=198&&offset=50..

and when he was in au team then after kalle he was the secondary sniper. Though he had done it for very short period bt for that period he had done good.

so i m not telling hima primary awper or even an all round player bt if he want then he can do well. that is my point. :)
2012-08-21 07:34:36
Nah dude, he is right. By your logic you can say that every player from every team can use AWP. It is true for sure, but whats the point of it? Every player can't use it @ pro level. Same situation with moddii.
2012-08-21 21:54:30
xizt > fyrr73
2012-08-20 15:28:33

poor 'ole fyrrte. I understand his decision. He never managed to make it to a top team, for his whole life he placed 2nd or 4th, and now when 1.6 is on its downfall, he took the only chance to enjoy his 5 minutes of glory. what a sad story indeed. I hope you have a good, though short time.
2012-08-20 15:51:47

2012-08-20 17:13:03
Arcadion? Guys what the fuck. Xizt's calling was the opposite to arcadion's, I don't believe FYRR73 will call either since the way fnatic played they won a lot,probably moddii becomes IGL.

GL Emil

P.S. looks like Winfakt is going down

2012-08-20 18:19:23
at last 12 months have FYRR73 very unstable results
2012-08-20 18:43:45
No player is totally stable, Ex-lions since 2011 had good results in tournaments when FYRR73 played at a high level.
2012-08-20 19:25:39
oooh hltv stats...

do you believe?

so fnx > neo,trace

2012-08-20 20:19:04
i believe for what i can see and thats FYRR73 have very unstable results, its not only from stats ofc but thats good proof
2012-08-20 20:52:00
and i can see that when he play at high level he is just fucking insane, in most tournaments that he played not so good, were online or not so important. As I said, the Lions' success depended on him a lot, even the lurpiss recognized this fact.
2012-08-20 23:57:57
fnx at his best was 10 times better than trace
2012-08-21 20:23:46

I don't see fyrrte as igl, he can do it but he is the new one in the team, so I think that MODDII will take the role
