iGame remove zehN

The Finnish organization is removing the 25 year old player, while Juho "juho" Lampinen will be playing as stand-in for the next two events.

iGame.com has announced the removal of Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala via social media. While the organization doesn't reveal their new player, Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen will be the standing in for the Finnish squad.


zehN's last appearances were at WESG and WCA

Last tournament Saku "⁠SAGGERTON⁠" Jokinen's team played was WESG 2016 World Finals, where they placed first at groupstage and lost against Space Soldiers in the quarter-finals. juho's debut for iGame.com was today against BIG at iGame Winter Invitational’s first match, which they lost 16-8 on Dust2.

Here's what zehN had to say in a statement posted in his official twitter account:

"At start i was really motivated to play and give my 100%, but after WCA the problems ingame and pressure about moving in to same house with 5 other males didn't feel really good at that point. I have apartment with my girlfriend, so i didn't wanna trade these things for a male filled house and atmosphere that was damaged between players in game, it was just the chemistry in game that didn't feel working at this point between me and one player, i respect him, but i guess we just didnt get along ingame, and didnt see other solution for now. But i'm really grateful for getting this chance to play in a group with skilled players and really awesome guys, had really good time overall on our journey, and i will never forget this. Lets see what the future holds for both parties :)"

iGame.com's next match is against iNation at 20:00 for iGame Winter Invitational. The following roster will also play at Assembly Winter in February:

Finland Saku "⁠SAGGERTON⁠" Jokinen
Finland Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha
Finland Sami "⁠xseveN⁠" Laasanen
Finland Lasse "⁠ZOREE⁠" Uronen
Finland Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen (stand-in)

The thing is: Just because they play on the same team doesn't mean they are friends - they are simply colleagues with the same goals. I completely understand his decision especially considering that he was on a higher level than that team anyways so deserved a better team..

zehn didn't get along with someone on the team and didn't want to move in with the guys. not much they can do. i'm just saying, they are not changing players for the pure joy of it. they've only changed twista (who felt like it was time for him to step down and coach), and now zehn who didn't get along. juho is just stand-in for this tournament edit: this team stayed the same while ence had several lineups

hltv doesn't take into account name changes of teams. iGames was LGR before that, and RCTIC and Epiphany Bolt. hltv.org/?pageid=179&teamid=7028 (twista 73 maps) hltv.org/?pageid=179&teamid=4682 (twista 137 maps) hltv.org/?pageid=179&teamid=6220 (twista 26 maps) that's almost 300 maps in hltv, not to mention that they are such a low tier team that hltv doesn't necessarily automatically track all of their matches nor they have as much tournament options as top tier teams.

exactly. they were not known at all, and their results were bad. and most said they'd not be able to do any damage. despite that they didn't make changes and continued to play with same lineup and improve. they're not on top tier level (maybe never will) but have made significant improvement over time and have showed dedication. that's why I found #38 to be somewhat of an odd comment. I don't think he has followed the team at all...

Well to clarify for you all, moving in with five random people to you that you only know from online and leaving your good life behind to sleep on a couch on (since atm there was not enough rooms for me yet)so it was not tempting for me :D and they really want a player who could move in live with them, and that player is not me :)D
