Fnatic recently made a roster change, switching out Jonas "Lekr0" Olofsson for Richard "Xizt" Landstrom so this will be a good chance for Xizt to prove his worth on the big stage. It also means Fnatic must practice that much harder this summer in order to establish synergy between its CS:GO players.
