Following a piece on rakaka.se that suggested heavy roster changes in Sweden's best teams after the CPL World Finals, Kristoffer "Tentpole" Nordlund, a player in fnatic, said the following on a Fragbite forum.

"You don't have to worry about how bad I am either, I am quitting gaming at a high level this new year," Nordlund said.

This decision came to public right after a third place in the WSVG 2006 CS Finals but it seems to have no relation with this tournament and with the CPL event that has just begun.

Nordlund joined fnatic in January following a sensational time in Begrip Gaming's Swedish team, which achieved, among others, a first place in the second edition of the World Esports Games.

It is still unknown who will replace him, but Fragbite confirmed that fnatic may be leading the chase for icsu's former member, Emil "Striker" Westerberg.

Since the split up between Check-Six and the Swedish team, the European players decided to revive the ICSU name, which no success, though. Some weeks later, Louis "Red`" Nyberg joined 4Kings to fill the shoes of Marc Mangiacapra and no more news were heard from this team. Michel "speedi" Gewargis told GotFrag that the team engaged in talks with several organisations but things didn't work out.

"ICSU was never alive, after we left Check-Six, we were just tagging for fun, so there is no team in ICSU. I don't know if striker is leaving for fnatic, haven't talked to him for some days. I don't know how my future looks like, there aren't any available teams at the moment, I will basically wait for CPL to end and see if something happens," Gewargis said.

With the departure of Nordlund, fnatic's roster is as follows:

Harley "dsn" Örwall
Patrik "cArn" Sättermon
Patrik "f0rest" lindberg
Oscar "Archi" Torgersen
