HAVU announce new roster

3-5-2018 13:07

The Finnish organization has announced its new quintet a month after the dissolution of its previous lineup.

A year ago ENCORE joined HAVU in a move that saw the core consisting of Jesse "⁠KHRN⁠" Grandell, Mikko "⁠xartE⁠" Välimaa, and Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen join the Finnish organization. The team later signed Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo and Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo, two youngsters, although the former would drop out of the team in late 2017 to take a break from competition.

ottoNd is the only remaining player from HAVU's old lineup

With Aleksib in ENCE and KHRN and xartE out of the team, HAVU has been built around the figure of ottoNd, the young AWPer signed to the organization in September 2017, as it had been previously announced.

Joining ottoNd this time around will be a mix of youth and experience in Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala, the former PENTA player who attended the PGL Major in Krakow; Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha, who was one of the core players when iGame.com was Finland's best; Olli "⁠sLowi⁠" Pitkänen, who broke out with Rynnäkköviikset at Assembly Winter 2017 and was one of the top rated players at LanTrek 2018; and former ENCE and iGame.com rifler Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen. HAVU's new roster will be under the orders of coach Toni "⁠toNppa⁠" Luhtapuro.

HAVU's new lineup is:

Otto "⁠ottoNd⁠" Sihvo
Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala
Olli "⁠sLowi⁠" Pitkänen
Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha
Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen

Toni "⁠toNppa⁠" Luhtapuro (coach)

I wish you luck in your endeavors.

We really suck in communication. If you saw Mouz vs G2, you saw Sunny just going B alone when rest were executing at A. In some point he looked in hes minimap and saw enemies at A and ran there.

Reminds me of guys I play with for years. Only join discord to play, then when they don't play anymore they just say "cya" and they're gone before they've even done saying that. All they is troll and laugh like shit while drinking (and spilling) beer. Lmao

Are you stupid? Maybe you’re bad with communication, but don’t bunch your country in with yourself.

2018-05-03 16:39

It was part of the plan. Bomb was planted short and he was planned to go there which he did. It was rather clever plan and worked out so your argument is invalid.

Where will khrn and xarte go now? :(

5 replies

igame. Rumor is the lineup will be xarte, KHRN, Relfex, saggerton & twista.

2018-05-03 13:14

2018-05-03 13:41

-xarte +me

2018-05-03 13:47

xarte has been pretty nutty whenever he has been the awper in havu. This team might be decent if they bench twista over anyone ever.

2018-05-03 13:23

PENTA used to be good. PENTA had potential to be solid team, but after losing Sunny and HS it was the end. Zehn wasn't such good player, he was solid in this specific team.

2018-05-03 13:25

Yes maybe it was because he had good cover in sunny and hs. I didn't do much research about his previous teams. Hope this havu line up will be good 4 him and otton

2018-05-03 13:28

In 3 weeks maybe LOL, this team is garbage. Finland should just give up on cs esports

Yeah nah EZ4ENCE!

2018-05-03 13:26

you guys remember joelz lmao what happened to that onliner

7 replies

He actually has a lan winrate of 100%. =) And he's really god damn good at the game, just an autistic person that is exhausting to work with so I'd believe teams just don't want to take him in and he doesn't want to come if it isn't a sure deal with people he respects (if there are any).

is he still playing or retired?

2018-05-03 13:20

Nothing sure I can confirm actually, I think he is still playing occasionally but not whole time. I've got no idea what he's doing nowadays. The scene in Finland feels much less intact nowadays without CB and IRC as platforms.

I think he still plays Faceit, but not in a team. I think Allu said in Natus podcast that they tried him out in some team but it didnt work since Joelz could just go afk in the middle of a game without saying anything and stuff.

2018-05-03 13:54

pretty sure he still just whores in faceit trying to get dat monthly #1 spot

2018-05-03 17:40

Respect handbanana.. oops Joelz!

2018-05-03 13:22

he plays FPL and Rank S for those $$$$$$$$$$

2018-05-03 13:13

When will Finnish esports teams learn to not recycle awful tier 6 players :/

2018-05-04 09:09

top10

ENCE on minimum

Hopefully better than ence

2018-05-03 13:16

Getting bored of seeing the same 10 players recycled in different variations in the finnish scene. Nevertheless, GL.

That’s Finnish scene for you. Honestly impossible to comprehend what’s going through the minds of the people in charge of these rosterd. For years they’ve kept doing this same shit and it hasn’t worked a single time. There’s a reason our country sucks ass in this game.

2018-05-04 09:11

zehN god like 7k elo in faceit but in official play like lvl5 :D:D:D:DD

2018-05-03 13:17

well imagine a pro team stacking normal faceit, wouldn't be that hard huh... he's just stacking with the same guys, 4 people and 1 lvl 1 playing all time

hes not play with lvl 1 he got the best stack in faceit right now avg elo lobby 3300, but in official game zehN sucks so much, maybe in 5stack finnish he will be good.

when i played vs them, they had a lvl 1 in their team ;P

2018-05-03 13:31

link us the game then

2018-05-03 14:19

Finnish CS is like Finland It doesn't exist

2018-05-03 15:05

french cs as well =( (sarcasm)

2018-05-03 15:11

Finnish cs = recycling 5-10 players one year to another. It’s fucking insane lol

Havu > G2

2018-05-04 09:54

GO go sLowi good luck with the new team mate :)

2018-05-03 15:09

Ez 4 ENCE

2018-05-03 15:15

This looks better than what I would have expected. That being said I doubt they will pass any online qualifiers. Well since this means we can see some more Finnish teams play any level of the game I am happy.

2018-05-03 15:39

This team won’t achieve dogshit. Neither will any future Finnish team so long as they keep recycling the same 5-10 awful players

2018-05-03 16:48

On paper worse than ENCE. But ENCE has been playing so bad, even with stacked talent, that I believe HAVU has a good chance of being the best team in Finland.
