HAVU release trio; to build team around ottoNd

19-4-2018 21:23

Mikko "xartE" Välimaa, Jesse "KHRN" Grandell and Samu "uli" Leirilaakso have parted ways with HAVU, the Finnish organisation have announced.

The Finnish organisation stated that the trio have been free agents since the start of the month and wished the players "the best of luck in their future journey".

Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo, who had initially been handed a trial in September 2017, will spearhead HAVU's new roster, with news set to be released "in the upcoming weeks".

ottoNd will rebuild HAVU's roster

Mikko "⁠xartE⁠" Välimaa and Jesse "⁠KHRN⁠" Grandell had been tied to HAVU since March 2017, when Finnish organisation secured the services of the squad known as ENCORE. As for Samu "⁠uli⁠" Leirilaakso, the 20-year-old leaves the club just three months after his arrival.

While part of HAVU, the trio helped the team to win Assembly Winter, the Finnish eSports League Season 4 Finals and LanTrek 2018. Most recently, the squad secured a spot in the next ESEA MDL season after finishing in 3rd-4th place in ESEA Main.

As of now, HAVU's roster currently looks as follows:

Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo

Toni "⁠toNppa⁠" Luhtapuro (coach)

We have officially parted ways with @xarteCSGO @KHRNCSGO & @UliCSGO. https://t.co/GtwHZuw7No #HAVUJA #HAVUPHZ #esportsfi

Miks äijät poistaa khrn lol kk

bot KHRN

2018-04-19 21:36

KHRN pelas vissin kahteen viikkoon vain jotain 30 tuntia CS:GOta. Ei ole näköjää motia pelaa ku path of exile on vieny kaiken huomion. Lopettais nyt koska jos ei oo motia nii turha olla joukkueen ankkurina.

2018-04-19 22:42

well i have heard pro players speak about ottoNd on their streams and they all seem to think he is pretty shit and from the little ive seen he looks like hes decently skilled but braindead. so good luck with that FI CS

2018-04-19 21:50

Typical Finnish cs.... If things wont go 100% right right away they disband in 1 year.... ffs i played sof2 on rank1 clan 7years and 3 years of that was playing on hard try mode to get there... after that we won every tournament and had +80 wins row on our best. Finns just dont know how to deal with teams theres too much egos they better go with mixed EU teams. Theres no passion even if they say there is they just play to get best results fast.. its like trying to fuck orgasm fast as you can without boner.

2018-04-20 09:06

cuz people have to make a living and if you fail to success no sponsor is interested of you. sponsors generally pay as much to every "starting team", and it's expensive af to live here so you'll have to be victorious to raise those numbers.
