Crack Clan change to Power Gaming

20-9-2009 17:46

Crack Clan becomes Power Gaming, as the team follows their management into a new project.

The UK based organization management leaves Crack Clan to create Power Gaming. With the transition they bring the Finnish Counter-Strike 1.6 squad. The team recently changed Miika "dRiim" Toroi and Matti "SPIKEONE" Jarvinen for Max "ruuit" Aspe and Samu "plastE" Aalto. The team also managed to claim top spot at the Finnish Extreme Masters season four qualifier, advancing to the European Championship.

Managing Director Ben Woodward stated following regarding the change to Power Gaming:

"The time had come to start afresh, we all enjoyed ourselves over at cc// (Crack Clan) but we felt it was the right time to move on. PG has high levels of investment much like cc// had and we just had to bring the 1.6 guys with us. Despite some poor results recently we're convinced the player changes will make significant improvements to the lineup that'll allow us to compete at the top level."

The team furthermore holds a spot at the World Cyber Games 2009 Grand Finals in Chengdu, which they secured by defeating Excello in the Finnish qualifier final.

Power Gaming house following five:

Joona "natu" Leppanen
Niko "naSu" Kovanen
Tino "tihOp" Puumala
Samu "plastE" Aalto
Max "ruuit" Aspe

The team will be on display in the upcoming season of Extreme Masters, as well as World Cyber Games 2009 and future events.

Read the damn topic first. 1. They are not called Crack Clan anymore... 2. They already have a team.

2009-09-20 19:08

Crack Clan actually still exist.

2009-09-20 19:22

Maybe 2nd chance for ex-Wicked? ::)

2009-09-20 22:20

Ohweel, from what my brain could take of the topic, i figured that it didn't but hey...

2009-09-21 15:03

But seriously, that guy is pretty annoying #72

2009-09-21 23:16

Oops wrong again.

2009-09-21 21:50

i hope so too.. but the team also needs a new management

2009-09-20 22:37

lame name ! xD

2009-09-20 18:53

That's why the finnish teams don't perform in the tours, cause they make changes often.

2009-09-20 19:16

+1, but I also hope you realize they didn't really change anything now except the name.

2009-09-20 19:20

Correct! But this shows disequilibrium in team. If they change one/more player/s, or if they change organization, it's about disequilibrium too.

2009-09-21 10:22

Admit that you just looked that word up?;)

2009-09-21 21:51

Great lineup and best of luck to Power in the future! :D

hehe, of course they'll have a good site, i'm just bound to have some fun of it's current state :D

2009-09-20 22:19

They have done this because they wanted to save the website name. There are people that when they read a news like this make a website with their name for teh LULZ.

2009-09-21 00:18

We have used "Power Gaming" and the website PowerGaming.com as part of our brand for the past 12 months - just now we've decided to use that as our main brand for our Esports portal.
