fnatic miss DreamHack Malmö

DreamHack have just announced that fnatic will miss DreamHack Masters Malmö due to Olof "olofmeister" Kajbjer's condition, as he has injured his arm and will be recovering in the coming weeks.

In the past few weeks a number of players have sustained an arm or wrist injury, such as Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács and Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer, whose fnatic exited in the quarter-finals of MLG Columbus following a stunning loss to Astralis.

Earlier today the we reported on the former pondering over skipping DreamHack Masters Malmö to recover, but it is fnatic who announce missing the $250,000 event, officially.

According to a statement for DreamHack, it is uncertain how serious olofmeister's injury is or how long it will take to recover from it, as he will be seeing a specialist in the coming days.

Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell's Tweet also reveals that the team is looking for a replacement who will stand in for olofmeister during his recovery.

G2 have been chosen as a replacement for fnatic, which makes the full team list following:

G2	Astralis	Liquid	CSGL
Ninjas in Pyjamas	Virtus.pro	Tempo Storm	MOUZ
Envy	Natus Vincere	CLG	Ancient
Luminosity	FaZe	TYLOO	Dignitas

As mentioned above, it is not yet certain whether GuardiaN's Natus Vincere will attend the event taking place from April 12-17, which means we might see another change in the coming days.
