Over at fnatic's website, the team's AWPer Jesper "jw" Wecksell has issued a statement regarding TECHLABS and Astana Dragons:

"Tomorrow we are traveling to Kiev to play a best-of-three against Astana Dragons, we are all very excited about this trip as it will be one hell of a test for us as a team. "Astana Dragons may have not been showing the results that the community expected from them lately, but these are players you can't underestimate, especially not on LAN. "I feel that we have been very strong lately and showed very good results online, so this trip is also something we do to be more prepared for Dreamhack Bucharest, which will be one of the toughest events this year. "But we come in to this match-up with a lot of confidence and want to leave Kiev with a victory."

This match will be a chance for revenge for the Ukrainians, who lost against fnatic in their debut online 0-2 just over two weeks ago for Mad Catz Invitational.
