Due to a busy schedule in school and a lack of good results in our last tournaments Björn has decided to step aside until after the WCG Qualifier on the 28th of May", skriver Lions i sitt pressmeddelande. Ersätter threat, i alla fall under det svenska WCG-kvalet den 28 maj, gör a2g-spelaren André "keiz" Carlsson, som senast sågs placera sig tvåa på Inferno Online League S3D3 efter SK-Gaming. Rollen som taktiker tas över av FYRR73.

Vad som händer med a2g:s deltagande på ASUS är oklart. Då det svenska WCG-kvalet krockar med den ukrainska turneringen lär alltså a2g hitta en ersättare, om de ens åker iväg. Vi återkommer med mer information!

Today the Lions 1.6 Team announce the temporary departure of our beloved in-game leader Björn ”threat” Pers.
Due to a busy schedule in school and a lack of good results in our last tournaments Björn has decided to step aside until after the WCG Qualifier on the 28th of May.
His in-game tasks will now be taken care of by Emil ”FYRR73” Karlsson.
As you all know a Counter Strike team isn’t complete without a fifth member, and that’s why I’m really proud to introduce our latest sponsor IN-WIN that will enable us to have a six man lineup. We are all really proud to have a company like IN-WIN supporting us. To fill the empty space during the WCG Qualifier André “keiz” Carlsson will join up with Lions. Since we made the decision regarding Björn yesterday everybody in the team felt that we needed a young, hungry and talented aimer. Hopefully André can fulfill our needs and help us out at the WCG Qualifier.

Emil “FYRR73” Karlsson says this about André: “We all felt that we needed an aimer and a guy that could motivate us to keep fighting. André was a natural choice for us; he’s a guy that can win rounds all on his own. We are really happy to have him in the team. On the other hand it’s sad that Björn can’t attend the WCG qualifier with us, but he’s still an important part of our team”.

André “keiz” Carlsson says: “I’m really happy and proud to get the chance to fulfill my dream and become a professional player. To join up with a team like Lions is a dream come true. I will do what I can to make this a success, not only for me but for the organization and our sponsors, IN-WIN, Kaspersky, MaxFPS, QPAD and the e-sport community as well”.

We would like to thank our sponsors IN-WIN, Kaspersky, MaxFPS and QPAD and our fans for supporting us in this time of change and hope that you wish us the best of luck!

Best Regards
Niklas Kronquist - Team Manager of LIONS 1.6
