CSGO: New Fnatic member
fnatic have announced that Niclas ‘PlesseN’ Plessen will step in to the active roster as a replacement for Olof ‘olofmeister’ Kajbjer, with the star player taking time off in order for his injury to heal. It was already apparent before the MLG Columbus Major that fnatic’s star player Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer had sustained a hand injury that was affecting his play, although the extent of the injury was not seen until the Major where Kajbjer struggled to make an impact for his team (fnatic finished in 5-8th place). Afterwards, the world’s currently top ranked team announced that they would forego attending DreamHack Masters Malmö until the player’s hand injury had fully healed, with Jesper “JW” Wecksell mentioning that the team were looking for a replacement until Kajbjer had fully healed. The organisation have now announced that the replacement is Niclas “PlesseN” Plessen, who last made his name playing for RUZKI at the PGL Regional Minor qualifiers back in January. The organisation mention that out of a narrowed-down pool of potential candidates, it was Plessen who showed the most promise with sound in-game knowledge and overall mechanics. With the statements appearing open-ended as to the nature of Kajbjer’s injury and the time of recovery, it could very well be possible that Plessen could attend multiple tournaments with the world’s best team.
