Fnatic.CoD4 release mintR & zEm

by Roychez on August 12th, 2008 at 21:22 CEST

Today we announce the departure of two players in the Fnatic Call of Duty 4 squad. Both Martin "mintR" Rödjer and Rickard "zEm" Intveld will be released from Fnatic.

Martin put his heart and soul into Fnatic since the day he and his team joined, a true model professional who always tried his best and was a superb representative of Fnatic. Unfortunatly things don't always go as planned and here we say goodbye to Martin.

Rickard joined the team after the release of klanne earlier this year and got the first place at the CGS LAN with the team as well as attending both i33 and i34. But after a few disappointing results this summer, Rickard will follow Martin and leave the team.

We here at Fnatic wish both players the very best of luck in their future ventures.

This leaves the Fnatic Call of Duty 4 team as :

  • flag Daniel "tidde" Asp
  • flag Marcus "odyxz" Nilsson
  • flag Johan "LINQAN" Lindqvist

Click Full Story to read statements from tidde, mintR and our general manager Joe.
Statement by Joe Miller, General Manager of Fnatic:
The Fnatic Call of Duty 4 team have been close to me since we first picked them up and travelled to CDC4 together.
mintR and zEm have been great in Fnatic and we have had a lot of fun traveling together.
However, after the teams recent slumps at AEF, TEX and i34 meant it was time for a change in Fnatic.
I'd like to thank mintR and zEm for all the hard work they have put into the team since joining and I hope they will find a team that can support their ambitions.
We will be announcing the new additions to Fnatic COD4 soon!


Statement by tidde:
We are letting mintR and zEm go. We've been feeling that over the weeks we've been splitting up as a team and divided into groups. Both zEm and mintR are extremly talented but neverthereless we had to make a hard decission to let them go. Me and the guys wish them best of luck in the future and I hope they will find there way to another team.


Statement by mintR:
I've been asked to leave Fnatic and I'm going to do so. These last six months have by far been the best of my gaming months but unfortunately now they are over. I've met alot of nice people through out these past few years and I've been in alot of teams tournaments and finals, to name a few WHO crew, x6, serious-gaming, dignitas, svea Royale and I've been the captain for most of them. When I had the chance to join the ranks of Fnatic with my team I finally made it to one of the best organizations out there. Now when ever things are going great people are happy, when things go bad how ever some one has to be responsible and this time it was me. The others in the team have the ability to move forward and I'm going to step aside and let them do so. I wish those who stay behind and those who come in the best of luck. Thanks to the whole of Fnatic and thanks for a great time.

I'm surprised that mintR got kick tbh, in the matches I've seen he's been really good. I do think zEm have been under performing though and switching him out is probably a good decision. Hoping for some sick replacements!

ehh.. He wasn't "kicked" :P.

Anyway, it was expected really. Maybe bring back zsilts somehow or klanne, maybe riviera? Dunno.

ye, hes been "asked to leave", aka kicked

More like a resignment. "Kick" for me is like "GTFO!", haha kidding.

Anyway, Klanne was very good with sniper at CDC4, not that a team needs a sniper, just for the info but you probably know.

I hope zsilts will be done with his personal life (lol) soon. It will be sick.
