Meet Your Makers has finally revealed its new fifth man, who is none other than Emil "FYRR73" Karlsson.

Earlier this year, on January 6th, it was announced that Meet Your Makers swe would be removing Andreas 'moddii' Fridh, mainly because of cooperation problems. Thus, Emil 'FYRR73' Karlsson was used as a stand-in at the Intel Extreme Masters European Championship Finals when his team, H2k Gaming could not attend, due to Mattias 'Snajdan' Andersen's illness. Now, it seems as though MYM has formally contracted FYRR73 as their new fifth player to complete the line-up.

Most recently, there was some confusion as to what the status quo of what FYRR73's team base rested on. A few days ago, MYM published news that FYRR73 would be joining the organization, but it was quickly pulled down. According to sources from MYM, there were short-term difficulties that delayed the formal announcement by several days. Only today was the organization able to proceed with its announcement and statements.

Statement from Emil 'FYRR73' Karlsson:

"I'm really happy to join MYM, I know all players before and we have had so much fun together both inside and outside the game. I look forward to playing with these guys 2010 and I think with some time we will compete at the highest level! Last but not least i want to thank the MYM management and their sponsors PUMA, Chieftec and especially Razer for the upcoming support!"

Statement from Team Captain Jimmy 'Jumpy' Berndtsson:

"Emil is a great guy and player, so I'm really satisfied with having him on our team. Now we have two of the best AWPers and I think that will boost our CT-sides that we've been struggling with.
It's a new year and now it's time to show everyone what we can and will do."

This, however, means that H2k Gaming is down to only three members, down from the reinvigorated line-up that was announced in late January. With Rasmus 'GuX' Ståhl leaving to join SK Gaming and FYRR73 departing to join MYM, the team is now left to find yet another two replacements. According to H2k Gaming, their next decision about contracting will be made shortly.

Statement from Abdisamad 'SpawN' Mohamed:

"I can only wish Emil the best of luck in his new team and I hope he does well. It was clear for a while now that Emil got on great with the guys from MYM and that he wanted to play with them and we respect his decision. News about our team will follow soon."
