fnatic with second British addition: Lighters

After replacing Daniel "zEnith" Johansen, who decided to step down to focus on his studies, with Team Dignitas captain Jonathan "raz" Baker, fnatic has brought in another British addition and moves longtime member Marcus "odyx" Nilsson to the backup spot.

Leaving the starting lineup of the European powerhouse is Marcus "odyx" Nilsson, who had been a part of the fnatic organisation since 2008, making him the longest serving member in the team. The Swede will be making room for Christopher "Lighters" Lightburn, one of UK's finest players, who was recently left without a team following the split of Reason Gaming.

Next to raz and Lighters, a third British player will be making his appearance at the DSRack LAN next week: Chris "nreo" Mead will be acting as a temporary replacement for Johan "LINQAN" Linqvist.

Statement Christopher "Lighters" Lightburn: "They say if you can't beat them, join them. So here I am at FnaticMSI. I am thrilled to be joining one of the best organisations within e-sports and I’m really honoured and proud to be representing them at future events. As always I’m highly motivated and looking forward to our next event DSRACK. See you all on the battlefield. Thanks to all the FnaticMSI sponsors, MSI, SteelSeries, Bigfoot Networks, UGAME and SLAPPA."

Statement Neil Kirk: "Today Christopher 'Lighters' Lightburn joins FnaticMSI after the Reason-Gaming team had sadly decided to part ways a few weeks ago. As Marcus 'odyx' Nilsson has had Internet connectivty issues we mutually decided he would step down for a period of time, however it should be noted he still remains contracted to us and where possible will be used as a stand-in until such time as his position changes. Chris is one of the scene's most accurate and experienced Call of Duty players - a player that fits perfectly as a direct replacement and enables us to maintain our high expectations. It is a pleasure to have him as part of the line-up for the upcoming events, most notably DSRack this coming week. I would also personally like to thank Ben (dallow) for his professional attitude. Thanks to all of our great sponsors for their support, MSI, SteelSeries, Bigfoot Networks, UGAME and SLAPPA."
