To get some insight into how fnatic are feeling going into DreamHack Open Summer, we got in touch with Jesper “JW” Wecksell, who also shared his thoughts on the state of the Swedish scene, fnatic’s performance in Dallas and various tournament rulesets.

Since reuniting their lineup that went on to win six straight tournaments at the end of 2015 and start of 2016, fnatic have only once made the playoffs of a tournament, at StarSeries S3 in Kiev. The team’s last tournament was the ESL Pro League Season 5 Finals, where they had a good start, but ended up going out in groups once again.

How the tournament in Dallas, Texas, influenced fnatic’s confidence, who are the most dangerous team in Jönköping, Sweden, and what lead to Denmark overtaking Sweden as the best CS nation are just some of the things Jesper “JW” Wecksell told us in our pre-DreamHack interview.
