Frag eXecutors - previously known as AGAiN for everyone that isn't up to date with the goings on in the 1.6 world - had their fair share of bad luck in 2009.

However 2010 seems to be quite the opposite for the legendary Polish side. At the beginning of the year they were gifted a second chance to partake in the European finals thanks to the disbandment of SoA, they grabbed the chance with both hands and made their way into the IEM European finals after a win over MYM in the qualifier. However once at the finals they failed to show just why they are considered one of the best teams ever, finishing a disappointing 9-12th and failing to qualify for the World finals in 1 weeks time.

It seems luck is on their side again however after Taiwanese side UMX announced they were unable to attend the event. After asking every other Asian side - none of whom could make it - the spot went to the first European team in line. Step up Frag eXecutors, they will be jetting out to the event in the next few days and will be looking to take advantage of the situation they now find themselves in.

It is a huge blow for the other teams in the group as they were expecting to steam roll the Asian 2nd place qualifier UMX, who were more or less there to make up the numbers. In their place they now have the 2 times ESWC and WCG winners to face in what was already looking like the group of death.

Group A is now:

fnatic.MSI
mousesports
oXmoze
mTw
Evil Geniuses
Frag eXecutors

Cadred will be bringing you full coverage of the event when it kicks off next week.
