Hardwire sign astralis

23-6-2009 22:04

The Swedish organization Hardwire have completed the signing of the Finnish Counter-Strike squad astralis.

The team saw the addition of Atte "VIDI" Hyväkkä, filling the spot Tino "tihOp" Puumala left with his departure to Crack Clan. Today they team up with Hardwire, known to house several mixteams attending various Swedish LAN events.

Max "ruuit" Aspe is very excited about joining the ranks of Hardwire which will make the team able to attend international events, after standing on their feet for some time.

"I'm very happy to be back in the business in a team with sponsors who can support us as good as I just hoped for, I haven't played for a well sponsored team since... it was last year I think? So I'm very very excited to be part of this and hoping to take some championships for our new name", he told HLTV.org

Hardwire now house following Counter-Strike squad:

Juuso "contE" Sajakoski
Samu "plastE" Aalto
Max "ruuit" Aspe
Jirka "jigetuS" Ryhti
Atte "VIDI" Hyväkkä

The team will as mentioned be on display at GameGune 23-25th of July in Bilbao, which will be the first time the team will carry their new tag, at an international event.

going to be great!

2009-06-23 22:13

Cool, it'll be interesting!

2009-06-23 22:14

there is a little mistake in the blog Max "ruut" Aspe instead ruuit However i wish them good luck

2009-06-23 22:16

They will again exchange players with CC few times, won't achieve good results, so they will fold again, both, and than we go all over again. :) It's Finland...always same stuff :D

2009-06-23 22:19

jigetu and ruuit the best :P

2009-06-23 22:20

Im my opinion Pass sponsor and came sponsor, they continue like always just top 8 or 9 in the big competitions. And with this line i don´t think they gonna have a good position in any competition, all of them are great players and have potential to win any great team but most showed for them is don´t pass the 5 position

2009-06-23 22:24

Sometimes i think i'll go insane if I try to follow these Finnish guys.

2009-06-23 22:32

thanks :p I reckon if a finnish team can stick together for long enough and have pateince they could go far :>

2009-06-24 18:05

I agree Roccat (69n-28e) at the time were top 5 and could have been like top 3 if they would have stick together and practise. I hope either astralis or rootz goes far.

2009-06-24 20:21

contE, plastE, ruuit and another looks very nice.

2009-06-23 23:18

Be aware Crack CLan!! there are new sheriffs in town!!

2009-06-23 23:26

big mistake by astralis signing with hardwire... a lying orga :/

2009-06-23 23:32

Can you explain a bit? :)

2009-06-24 00:11

gogo pplpl4pl45pl4spl4stpl4ste add tihop cause he is better than vidi or jigetus or u know better, try to fix the best lineup for the best cs team in the world with the best rifler in the galaxy with the nickname plastE

2009-06-23 23:35

tihop left for CC, that's where he wanted to go.

2009-06-24 00:37

I still think the best lu was plaste conte ruuit nasu lurppis, when they actually trained. I dont like tihop that much :/ Btw imo ruuit ≥ plaste

2009-06-24 01:03

wOw :DDDDD nice :D

2009-06-23 23:44

Strong lineup! Good luck :)

2009-06-23 23:57

2009-06-24 00:38

gl! I think this lineup is grrreat :)

2009-06-24 01:11

ruuit nice awp!

2009-06-24 01:46

It will be wery interesting in WCG Finland qual. when 2 top fins teams will face (Crack Clan vs Hardwire) :)

2009-06-24 11:07

Hopefully Hardwire really has money to provide the team with flights and hotels to events abroad. The Swedish community at fragbite seems to be extremely sceptical about hardwire who supposedly have no sponsors. GL though

2009-06-24 11:51

i give them 2months

2009-06-24 12:28

2009-06-24 15:15

are you serious? TWO WEEKS MAX. after that they will change some players with CC

2009-06-25 16:40

damn i was so wrong, it was more like two days..

2009-06-26 06:52

Again I`m not surprised.For me it`s quite boring... Teams from Finland are changing every month. I hope that this team has been created with the aim of winning something big. GL Hardwire

2009-06-24 15:14

HW > cc

2009-06-24 16:56

teamswitched again -_-

2009-06-24 17:41

They didn't switch teams really. Astralis was just a temporary name that they took. Now they have joined an organisation which hopefully can provide decent support
