Bereits am vergangenen Freitag gab die Organisation fnatic bekannt bekannt, dass drei der fünf aktiven Spielerinnen das hauseigene Female-Team verlassen haben. Dabei handelt es sich um die Damen Zainab ‚zAAz‘ Turkie, Sophie ‚inzane‘ Regnér und Anette ‚Cazzidy‘ Skarderud. Die Schwedin Mayra ‚IpSa‘ Perez gab gegenüber HLTV.org an, dass man in der nächsten Zeit versuchen wird die Lücken zu füllen.
Temporär werden auf der DreamHack Winter 2010 die deutschen Spielerinnen Antonia ‚antonia‘ Jilek, Melanie ‚beyoNd‘ Gutsche sowie Kathleen ‚kathi‘ Letsch die entstandenen Lücken schließen; eine endgültige Lösung ist dies jedoch laut den Verantwortlichen nicht.
Statement Zainab ‚zAAz‘ Turkie:
„I’m now not a part of FnaticMSI anymore. It’s not easy to play in a team and play so much every day. I don’t have time for it anymore. I can’t put all my time/life on a game (I will keep playing 1on1 shootouts) when I have time of course.
I’m glad that I’ve been playing with these girls now so long and I will really miss them, our trips and our great times together. Sometimes you wish that you could do five things at the same time, but you always have to scratch one thing from your life and I decided to choose out Counter-Strike, because I don’t see it as something important in my life or something that I can’t live without I just see it like a funny thing to do that’s why I’m playing it.
I wanna thank you all out there for supporting me, you made me into the player I am today. I wish you girls the best of luck, I will always cheer for you no matter what! And I wanna thank you FnaticMSI for your time with you! Also to the sponsors, MSI, SteelSeries, Bigfoot Networks, SLAPPA and UGame for sending me around the world!“
