FYRR73 joins fnatic
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-08-29 20:00
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson has as rumors nine days ago stated joined fnatic, filling the fifth spot left by Richard "Xizt" Landström's departure for Ninjas in Pyjamas.

With the announcement of the NiP CS:GO team, fnatic lost their in-game leader Richard "Xizt" Landström. Not long after rumors linked WinFakt member Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson with fnatic.

Karlsson left WinFakt yesterday, which made it pretty obvious that he would link up with fnatic. The Danish-Swedish team representing fnatic in Counter-Strike 1.6 today announced the signing of Karlsson.


FYRR73 is fnatic's new fifth
 

fnatic now have:

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

The new fnatic member will have a long list of events to attend with his new team as fnatic will attend a total of five events in the three months to come.

First on the tour is K1 League in Shanghai, where fnatic will take part in the Counter-Strike: Online tournament. The team will be in Shanghai from next week and will from the Chinese city fly to Iran's capital Tehran to take part in MGC Tehran.

After Tehran fnatic will to Porto in Portugal, to take part in the €15,000 PGS Ozone tournament. After Porto the journey is set for Bucharest and the €10,000 DreamHack tournament.

The last stop on the tour will be DreamHack Winter in Jönköping, Sweden, where the team aims to take pare in the first major tournament for CS:GO.

This should also confirm that fnatic will engage into CS:GO in the future and we could expect them to take part in more upcoming CS:GO events.

Patrik "cArn" Sättermon, fnatic's CGO, has released a lenghty statement about the signing, if you wish to read it, together with the rest of the announcement, simply click here

2012-08-29 21:21:08
It's called sarcasm...

2012-08-29 20:03:56
well if they practice a bit, like cArn made them do, than they will take it rather easy.
2012-08-29 20:51:11
lol no
2012-08-29 22:26:37
lulwat
2012-08-30 00:21:33
fnatic is already practicing CS:GO, so they can and will defeat NIP rather easy.
2012-08-30 12:18:36
you are trolling right?
2012-08-30 17:57:23
U kidding righ:dd hah nip gonna rape them...
2012-09-01 19:17:18

cs 1.6 division for 1-2 tournament
nice
2012-08-29 20:05:57
and for CS:GO too!
http://fnatic.com/filestorage/imageupload/gcFR4inc..
2012-08-29 20:12:11
yea but thats a big fail to play 2 different games lol
2012-08-29 20:18:09
big fail? why you say so?
2012-08-29 21:54:33
No reason to play 1.6 now lol, hard to get it? Game is dead. And than the faster you start playing cs:go then much better for you coz you will have MORE PRACTICE and time to learn the game
2012-08-30 09:19:12
actually fnatic have a reason to play cs 1.6 , money , there are still a few tournaments they will win, then they can switch to csgo.
2012-08-30 09:45:48
They are losing time. And ofc there is no guarantee the tournaments will pay prize money. I have heard even IEM still has not paid even for 3rd season lol
2012-08-30 09:51:53
yeah and when they switch they gonna be raped by almost every decent cs:go team , there is a reason why Xizt left them ;]
2012-09-01 16:02:19
3 different games :D CS:O, CS:GO and cs 1,6 )))
2012-08-30 08:53:53
none of competitive players cares about 1,6 / source now, so there is only CS GO NOW
2012-08-30 09:19:53
http://fnatic.com/filestorage/imageupload/gcFR4inc..
look at this, you will see that fnatic gonna try themselves in 3 games this year, CS ONLINE, CS 1,6 and CS:GO, so your words sounds ridiculous
2012-08-30 09:59:03
they are loosing their time for practice / learning the csgo game
thats all
its fully NEW GAME. Lear shooting / playing will be very hard.

2 events then its over and btw, id take arcadion, pronax or keiz before fyrrte
2012-08-29 20:14:46
Ofc, you know what is the best for fnatic, more than Carn.




hmmmm


NOT.
2012-08-29 20:17:22
its probably only because they work good together, hes for sure not the best player to pick.
2012-08-29 20:46:22
maybe in your opinion, in my opinion fyrrte is a player with sick aim, plays very good with all weapons, is experienced and has been improving a lot, especially since last year, as carn said, he observes fyrrte for years and had no hesitation in call him.
2012-08-29 20:53:34
cArn is pretty good at picking teammates.
2012-08-30 03:45:28
keiz? really?
2012-08-29 20:18:05
seriously? fyrrte is a better choice than any of the ones you listed out, especially keiz :D
2012-08-29 20:53:15
+1
2012-08-29 20:54:06
maybe arcadion, but the others are not near fyrr73 level
2012-08-29 22:54:13
fyrrte > arcadion as well, obviously
2012-08-30 06:46:06
are you his ignored little brother or something? gtfo
2012-08-30 06:46:59
ha ha ha, fnatic unparalleled lineup in the time when everyone else is switching to CS:GO
2012-08-29 20:15:41
They will just make the move when they are ready and rape everyone in CS:GO.. sooo ?
2012-08-29 20:17:28
u mean raped by everyone ?
2012-09-01 15:34:25
They will start playing CS:GO from November with Dreamhack Winter according to cArn. http://www.fnatic.com/news/10054/fnatic-signs-fyrr..
"I can not say more on this topic besides confirming that our entrance in CS:GO will begin from November onwards. By then we are anticipating that the community has developed much more in terms of competitions and game improvements."
2012-08-29 20:39:14
pretty sure they are going to win next 1.6 event...oh, but they will be the only team out there
2012-08-29 20:16:06

2012-08-29 20:34:55
THREAT = Wenger

Big teams always taking his players
2012-08-29 20:42:43
THREAT is long gone from Winfakt, way before FYRR73 left them.
2012-08-29 20:57:16
Yes he is.

But they took so many players from him.
2012-08-29 21:00:07

great player
2012-08-29 20:42:32
doesnt matter if people play cs:go or whatever.
it will be like this:
-everyone plays cs:go
-1.6 players will whine about that 1.6 was better.
-the new players in cs:go will test 1.6 to find out it is better than cs:go.
-then 1.6 will be reborn :))
2012-08-29 20:45:59
...
2012-08-29 22:28:53
it will be like this
-everyone plays cs:go
-1.6 players will whine about that 1.6 was better.
-Updates will come and fix the game
-Everybody will stop complaining and enjoy the game a lot more
2012-08-29 22:43:44
meh, cuz then the sourcers will whine and we got an evil circle...
2012-08-30 10:20:33
hahahaha what a braindead comment
2012-08-30 15:24:29
well it was not actually that serious tho. just a funny way to keep up the hope that this game will not take over for 1.6. but I am reflected enough to can say myself that this aint gonna happen ^^,
2012-08-31 05:09:11
"sourcers" are a way smarter community and very open-minded ;))
2012-08-30 16:54:18

IMO he was the best player of DH Winter 2011.

2012-08-30 01:00:08
Where have you been? SK disbanded. GTR and f0rest joined NIP with xizt and 2 source players.
2012-08-30 01:05:56
Away from town, FOR REAL?! Disbanded? :o Oh man
2012-08-31 20:03:45
Yes... It was a bit expected after their results / GTR and f0rest only playing GO and the decision of SK not to send the team to Gamegune..
2012-09-02 17:54:28

No need for italic abuse. Thank you.
2012-08-30 01:17:37
theyll kick him once they switch to CS:Go for some experienced source player
2012-08-30 02:40:44
cs 1.6 players> cs:source player in cs:go
2012-08-30 02:48:59
the maps are more like in css, so it's smart to have a source-player in your team. fifflaren is even the team leader of nip... i think a mix is a good choice.
2012-08-30 02:53:40
I haven't seen NiP playing against some strong opponents, I believe we can not have conclusions yet about what's better or not, but I noticed that the cs players has much better aim than the source players, let's wait and see =)
2012-08-30 03:52:08
ye, we saw that last time nip faced verygames lololol

If they don't switch to CS:GO, they will don't have a rival. F*cking CS:GO, is another game, totally different as was the another versions.

FYRR73 is a great player, but he's not a good leader. We all saw that when THREAT left them and had to comeback as Lions team wasn't able to get any good result.

I think fnatic will miss a good leadership that can make them lose the supremacy they have now.

Good luck to them, I hope they continue with their winning streak.
