Jamppi's KYNYNIEKAT to fight for DreamHack Open Winter spot in Telia Esports Series Season 3

KYNYNIEKAT, a mix-team featuring Elias "⁠Jamppi⁠" Olkkonen and Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen, has been invited to take the last slot in the Telia Esports Series Season 3 league, where a spot at DreamHack Open Winter will be up for grabs.

The Telia Esports Series Season 3 roster is now complete with the addition of KYNYNIEKAT, a mix-team featuring the ex-SJ rising star Jamppi, whose career was truncated when a VAC banned account from his childhood was traced back to him while being scouted by FPL admins and OG late last year.

KYNYNIEKAT, an underdog in the upcoming league, already managed to pick up an upset win against a bigger rival in the past when they beat HAVU in their ASUS ROG Winter 2020 opening best-of-one match in February, and it will be the aforementioned HAVU they will be substituting in the Telia Esports Series, as Lasse "⁠ZOREE⁠" Uronen's squad dropped out of the national league to compete in the ongoing Flashpoint 1.

The third season of the Telia Esports Series will be played online and will feature eight teams including KOVA, who recently made it through the Europe Minor open qualifier before falling short in the closed qualifier, and SJ.

The eight squads will face off in a round-robin group stage before the top 4 move to a single-elimination playoff bracket. The winner of the event will claim not only the lion's share of $40,000, but also a coveted spot at DreamHack Open Winter.

The league will run for six weeks, starting on March 19 and ending on April 21, before the four top teams are placed into the playoff bracket that will culminate with the final on May 7.

volvo should allow him to compete, no real sport has lifetime bans for first offense while outside competition and at like 12 years of age, it's way over the top

+1 I don't know why it's that strict when elite sports you get banned for 2-4 years in similar cirtumstances. US best 100m runner Justin Gatlin got banned for 4 years only for doping. How is Jamppi's case worse at such an age at such circumstances worse?

Agreed. It's pretty ridicilious imo.
