Legendary Š from Vez, Freddy “CRIMES” Johansson, due to personal problems, will not be with the team at IEM Dallas.
Due to personal reasons and the limited time there is between events, @Krimz is unable to attend IEM Dallas. To the fans, rest assured he’ll be back on the server before you know it!

Švedic organization did not specify the exact reason, but due to tight schedule, Freddy will get time off, and he will be replaced no less, no more, yetš a legend and the face of the organization, Patrick “f0rest” Lindberg.
Patrick has been without a team for a long time, and he already found himself in the role of stand-in last year during the summer, at the Pinnacle Cup Championship which was held in Stockholm. Then he also faced fnatic, they managed to win the first match against Heroic, only to later lose to BIG >, and in the end, in the deciding match, Heroic got revenge on them, which ended their studies at the tournament. Patrick had a 0.84 rating during that tournament, and it will be interesting to see how the thirty-four-year-old will manage on the server, it is generally known that class is eternal, especially when it comes to one of the best players in the history of the franchise.< /p>
ill hope on the server once more, big shoes to fill but ill do my best to live up to my bearded brother @Krimz. The team has been very welcoming and im excited to be playing again for IEM Dallas with @FNATIC ???? https://t.co/3qmzdVLf1h
