The Slovakian team has been on the lookout for a reinforcement for the squad since Michal "bafo" Cierny confirmed his wish to step down from the team.

Cierny, who had joined the team just in November 2007, has seen his name removed from the fu.sk line-up to focus on his graduation.

In order to replace Cierny, fu.sk scoured the Slovakia for a replacement, but ended up choosing a Czech player to fill the last spot in the team.

"There is no one in Slovakia nowadays in whom we are interested in," said Ondřej "p0ky" Pokorný, manager in fu.sk.

"The fact that we picked johan was no coincidence, his character perfectly fits in our team concept, despite his Czech nationality. He is a skilled and experienced player, who has played for many of Czech Republic's top teams.

"He has experienced WCG/shg Open LANs and some of the Czech and Slovakian LAN events. He has the experience we wanted to bring to our team to achieve better results in the future."

Fu.sk has now the following line-up:

Ivan "Dev1" Lazarov
Radovan "uNreaL" Bratinka
Oliver "cheesE" Sokol
Gregor "Gr3g1" Mede
Jan "johan" Juráň
