Fnatic CS:GO player Dennis "dennis" Edman will miss his team's group stage matches in ELEAGUE Season 2, and will be replaced on the starting lineup by the team's coach, Jimmy "Jumpy" Berndtsson.

"As we had mentioned earlier, Dennis will not be able to attend the first phase of ELEAGUE for the same reasons behind our drop out from the ESL Pro League finals," Fnatic CS:GO manager Viktor "vuggo" Jendeby stated in a press release.

"This time however, we had more time to look into a temporary replacement. After some discussion we came to the conclusion that Jumpy would be the best fit; with relatively short time we value his leadership and tactical mind above any 30-dropping talent out there as we truly have enough firepower already."

After a series of back-and-forth trades with GODSENT and a few other roster moves, Fnatic ended up with Freddy “KRiMZ” Johansson and Joakim “disco doplan” Gidetun on their roster heading into ELEAGUE Season 2. However, KRiMZ was unable to attend the ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals due to personal issues, and those issues will be keeping him from attending ELEAGUE as well. Instead, he’ll be replaced by Jumpy.

Jumpy became Fnatic’s coach in August, when vuggo was moved to a manager position, and was previously Escape Gaming’s coach. In the past he’s played for FlipSid3 Tacitcs and Team Property.

Fnatic is set to face off against Team EnVyUs, Team Dignitas and OpTic Gaming in Group D of ELEAGUE on Nov. 18. Their first match will be against OpTic.
