Team FnaticMSI have pulled out of from EPS Nordic Season 4.

The league will be kicking off today and FnaticMSI were supposed to play against the Norwegian team ArticNova, but now it's been announced that FnaticMSI will be skipping the online league and focus on offline events.

The team's captain Patrik "cArn" Sattermon said the following on fnatic.com:

It was a tough call for us to pull back from the upcoming EPS season after two seasons in which both we ended up in the grand final.The reason for our withdrawal is that we can't justify allocating the necessary time for an online league, with several important offline events around the corner.

I truly believe in the concept of having local leagues where new teams and players can blossom, but at this stage we will not have the time to support the league.

We wish ESL the best of luck running and I truly hope there won´t be as much trouble in the upcoming season as in the second, where me and my team suffered a lot from DDos attacks, which contributed to some of our losses in the latter part of the season.

We will keep you updated if the team will be replaced, if not, the league will feature 11 teams.
