Norwegian organisation Oslo Lions have picked up H2k-Gaming's Swedish Counter-Strike team.

Just over a week ago, the Norwegian organisation lost their Counter-Strike division following an array of disagreements between players and managers. It has now been confirmed that the gap created by their former team, now Online-Kingdom, has now been filled, with the addition of H2k-Gaming's team.

Statement from Christophe 'Monk' Roblin, Oslo Lions Chairman:

"We're glad to be able to get back into Counter Strike 1.6 this soon after we've parted ways with our Norwegian lineup some weeks ago. Having Counter Strike the past 11 months has been a great lift for Lions, and we were not ready to let that effort go to waste so soon. It will be very interesting to see what we can evolve to in tight cooperation with our new Swedish bred Lions"

Lions swe now house the following:

Emil 'FYRR73' Karlsson

Frej 'kHRYSTAL' Sjöström

Niklas 'niko' Johansson

Björn 'threat' Pers

Richard 'Xizt' Landström

The team will get a chance to represent their new organisation at the upcoming ASUS Summer 2010 event and then Fnatic's BEAT IT finals in September. They will also take Oslo Lions spot in the ESL Pro Series Nordic Season III, which is due to start in a weeks time.
