KRIMZ to miss Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 due to hand injury
Legendary Swedish player KRIMZ will miss Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 due to a hand injury. As the e-sportsman himself said, he had a pinched nerve, as a result of which he had to undergo a course of treatment and miss the championship in Finland. At the same time, fnatic issued an official statement adding Peppzor to the team's roster.
I am missing Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 in Finland because I have an arm injury that I had for two days after the RMR tournament. So, before the Major, nothing worked out for me in terms of training with the team. But it was my own choice to continue playing the Major in Rio de Janeiro. In fact, it's very sad. I have a pinched nerve in my arm, because of which the muscle does not recover, and fluid also forms under it.
I realized that I really need some rest so that we can see each other next season. I hope everything goes well with the recovery. Thank you for your understanding and for your support!
According to KRIMZ himself, the injury bothered him even after the end of the RMR tournament. However, the Swede decided to play at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022, despite the discomfort.
We wish KRIMZ all the best while he rests over the next few weeks. We expect him to return at the next event and look forward to continuing our work and building on the success in Rio. Get well soon, Freddie!
Peppzor is a member of the academic staff of the organization, for which he has been representing for a year and a half. It is noteworthy that the young Swede has already helped the fnatic main team last spring, taking part in the ESL Pro League Season 15 and PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR A.
fnatic will play Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 in Group B, which will also feature Astralis, SAW, Complexity, 500 and Bad News Eagles. The European team will fight for three available spots in the playoffs.
