zehN joins iGame; Twista to coach

iGame.com have decided to bring Jesse "zehN" Linjala in lieu of Slaava "Twista" Räsänen, who will now take the position of coach.

The Finnish team iGame.com have signed Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala, most notably part of the first PGL EU Minor team CG. zehN, who has also been seen playing with Finland's KoN team and the likes of Menace and Iwku throughout the year, will debut on LAN with his new team next week.


First order of business for the Finn will be the WCA finals in China 

Meanwhile, Slaava "⁠Twista⁠" Räsänen will step down from the active lineup and will now stand behind the team. The Finnish player-turned-coach's statement reads as follows:

With the new changes, I am standing down from our active line-up. I will stay with the team as a coach. We see this move as an opportunity which can provide us with the best possible help we need to reach higher level in the world. We are proud to announce the addition of Jesse "zehN" Linjala. Our new lineup will be in action for the first time on December 9th in WCA CSGO Finals, China. With this change we are also pleased to inform that we will be continuing our contract with iGame for 2017.

I would like to thank our previous and current organizations for the possibilities we have got under their support, and also my team for the amazing 14 months we've had. My time in this team has been by far my best in my whole career in CS and I am truly grateful. Nevertheless I do believe this upcoming year for our team will be the most successful in Finnish CSGO history.

iGame.com's lineup going foreward will therefore be:

Finland Sami "⁠xseveN⁠" Laasanen
Finland Saku "⁠SAGGERTON⁠" Jokinen
Finland Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha
Finland Lasse "⁠ZOREE⁠" Uronen
Finland Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala

Finland Slaava "⁠Twista⁠" Räsänen (coach)

zehN is a fucking weapon. The iGame core had been together for a while now, sad to see them make changes. But then again, they were stalemating, so something had to be done. GL to both parties.

The change is good but you can forget everything close to the libe of top20... Would be cool to see it happen but i think that if we want to see that there has to be a merge with the players from ence pretty much.

obviously the changes are still pretty slim for top20 due to lacking firepower but i would to see that happen since this teams core has been together since forever.

Juho and the team didn't click last time they played together so doubt that's an option. Core of this team has been together for so long too. Doubt they wanna change much. Nor do they need to really. They have been a decent team for a long time and hopefully with this change become even better and get into the top 20.

This is the best thing to ever happen to them since they started out. GJ to them for getting a decent Fin. Next, they monitor the shit out of xseveN, and scout Finland for some other decent talent.
