Regarding the roster moves captain cArn had this to say on fnatic's homepage:

"There has been a lot of curiosity about the shape of FnaticMSI´s 1.6 line-up of 2010 and the wait is over for all restless souls out there.
We are thrilled to welcome Björn "threat" Pers to the FnaticMSI family. Björn
did an amazing job helping us win WEM, our very first title in China.
This change means Rasmus "Gux" Stahl will not be in our team for 2010 and
from all players and the organization, we wish Rasmus farewell and thanks for the time we had ruling the world."

The man of the hour, threat, said:

"It's a big honour for me to join the ranks of the currently best CS1.6 team in the world, FnaticMSI. We had an awesome time in China and I felt the chemistry between us was great. I think I will be able to bring some new positive energy and some awesome new tactics to the team. With this in mind, I think we will be able to be as successful as the team was in 2009!"
