Call Of Duty: fnatic add LinQan, klanne and zsilts out

fnatic have announced the addition of Johan "LinQan" Lindqvist as well as the departure of Jonny "klanne" Wahlqvist and Mikael "zsilts" Smedberg.
Lindqvist joins from the successful Bangin' it Eurostyle team and is expected by team captain Martin "mint" Röjder to be "an integral part of [fnatic's] summer LAN season". Röjder himself also returns from inactivity to reclaim his place in the starting lineup from "klanne", who has since left the team.

"We feel [klanne] does not meet the requirements we have on the players in our team" Röjder told fnatic.com, "he's just not up to par with the rest of us". Mikael "zsilts" Smedberg will also leave the team, stating a lack of motivation as the reason for his departure.

The team's newest member, Johan "LinQan" Lindqvist, boasts an impressive resume as well as a controversial past. Branded as an "onliner" by many during his time with Turtles in vCoD, Lindqvist got his big break after moving to the old Swedish Dignitas lineup where he continued to prove himself as one of Scandinavia's hottest talents. Picked by fnatic for his "aggressive style", he now has a number of months to gel with his new teammates before the Summer LAN events kick off.

These changes leave fnatic with the following all-Swedish lineup.

Sweden Martin "mint" Röjder
Sweden Daniel "tidde" Asp
Sweden Markus "Odyx" Nilsson
Sweden Rickard "zEm" Intveld
Sweden Johan "LinQan" Lindqvist
