Oslo Lions have announced that Michael "mikkis" Sokki has been removed from the team with immediate effect, to make space for Jon Thomas "DaY" Rudstrøm

The team, who currently participate in the European Championship for Extreme Masters IV and the Norwegian DreamHack Winter qualifier, tonight announce the removal of Michael "mikkis" Sokki. Sokki had been with the team since joining them back in June, when the team was known as Vitriolic.

The team has brought back one known oldschooler, being the former eoLithic, 4Kings, catch and MYM member Jon Thomas "DaY" Rudstrøm. Rudstrøm left gaming back in June 2007, when he was replaced by Lars "Naikon" Olaisen in MYM. He is however now back, ready to play with Oslo Lions.

"I am really happy for the opportunity to once again be able to fight in the world of esports", Jon Thomas "DaY" Rudstrøm wrote in the official press release.

Oslo Lions now consist of following five:

Gunnar "zEn" Eng
Thomas "Vertigo" Andresen
Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard
Karl William "kalle" Haraldsen
Jon Thomas "DaY" Rudstrøm

The team is set to play their next match in the European Championship for Extreme Masters IV on Thursday, facing the German squad mystical Lambda.

Well, sometimes the text is wrong. Find me one match with DaY playing for eoL and I'll say ok.

If youre thinking of the WCG 2007 (get cancer and die) episode, u are wrong. He is not permanently banned from every tournament that exists.

2009-11-02 00:10

why was KF3 banned?

2009-11-02 17:54

I am not saying that he is banned. I really dont know if he is or isn't.

2009-11-02 21:39

ROFL ! m1kkis is a good player and a nice person

2009-11-02 01:13

really nice :D

2009-11-02 01:25

too bad for mikkis but DaY was one of my very favourite players back then :D nice! can't wait to see if he still got game

2009-11-02 01:28

Wasn`t expecting that! At all.. Intresting though

2009-11-02 02:32

GL to Olso with DAY in the line-up. He used to be a very dependable player. Hopefully he can return to that form. but why was mikkis removed exactly?

2009-11-02 05:28

When i spoke to zEn on irc he told me that it was either him or mikkis that was going out. And all the players taking zEn's side in the "conflict" was the reason for mikkis getting kicked out. DAY surely is not a bad player, not at all. But he was a player of cs in another time. Mikkis however, he has played the last years alot, and the gamestyle/play has changed alot since day was on top, so it will be interesting to see whats happens. My personal opinion about it is that mikkis should never been kicked out.

2009-11-02 06:25

sounds about right. +1

2009-11-02 14:27

mikkis hasn't been himself for the latest games, something must have troubled him, and changing your IGL all the time isn't that good for a team. :P

2009-11-09 22:18

bad for mikkis, anyways DaY is sick

2009-11-02 05:43

Is he? How do you know?

2009-11-02 10:20

he used to be heheh :P

2009-11-02 19:28

h1n1?

2009-11-02 22:28

HAHA I just love you..

2009-11-09 22:19

VERY NICE GL DAY

2009-11-02 06:16

REAL, DaY, KF3, elemeNt, XeqtR :o

2009-11-02 06:44

nice to see DaY playing again

2009-11-02 07:19

Best awper in Norway, he used to be so nasty when he was in eoL and 4K, haven't seen him play in a while but if he is still as good as he used to be great pickup for Lions, now all they need is for Naikon, knoxville, elemeNt, DarK, XeqtR and bsl to come back and Norway will return to atop of the CS pyramid

2009-11-02 08:23

DaY has not playd in eoL : P maybe you mean Dark.

2009-11-02 14:57

dark isnt much of an "awper"

2009-11-02 16:43

GaY

2009-11-02 09:40

I am gay aswell, want a blind-date sweethearth ;)

2009-11-02 22:30

Good luck Thomas! :)

2009-11-02 10:05

Bad move for Oslo Lions. Ressurecting DaY isn't a good choice right now if you ask me. My case DaY isn't up for it, and I'm pretty sure he'll have to live in one of the internet cafès in Sweden. So, for all of you who's talking about this is great; seeing an old school player like DaY return... boo on you. I'm pretty sure we'll see more changes for the Lions.

2009-11-02 10:24

Well depends on how you see it. Thomas have gotten a computer home now. And is motivated and ready to play again :) His a great player no doubt!

2009-11-02 11:57

He has a computer now? :OOOOOOOOOO Good luck anyways, Gunnar. :)

2009-11-02 12:14

gl DaY and Oslo

2009-11-02 10:59

This is awesome. I can't help it, but I always feel excited when an oldschooler returns. Although everyone knows that they rarely can keep up.

2009-11-02 11:26

2009-11-09 22:22

Like Norway oldschoolers, they were something! please oops start playing again

2009-11-02 11:41

Rumors have it he's home from Australia this month.

2009-11-02 12:38

WHY MIKKIS? WHY? kick zEn omfg

2009-11-02 12:58

2009-11-02 15:00

zEn is the strat caller in oslo lions. One of the best norway got.

2009-11-02 16:44

It isn't especially good for a team to kick the leader all the time.. :P

such a cool news :)

2009-11-02 14:06

gl DaY!

2009-11-02 14:39

have you seen mikkkis in their last matches afer the convention. i have played very bad but i dont think day is the way to go:P and mikkis live so north in norway so he have like 55-60 in ping:P

2009-11-02 15:04

bESEL,Nakion,juve9le,elemeNT and REAL!!!

2009-11-02 15:05

XeqtR!! :P

2009-11-02 16:27

Didnt day play in 4k?

2009-11-02 15:56

yes he did

2009-11-02 16:09

thats what it says in the article isnt it? ;)

2009-11-02 16:02

Are incredibly cool to see DaY again in the Lions. But not really understand why m1kkis was taken out of the team and not zen / vertigo? Want oslo lions continued success and hope by all means you keep you longer than 2 mounth. But doubt it, but hope:] Fair enough, Zen's calls but no matter But just want to wish oslo lions continued success and keeps all means that you hold for a while. And do not change the lineup every mounths.

zEn calls, just like you said, and Vertigo is a player that never gets any headlines, but he always does what he should do, and he is a very reliable player. mikkis is supposed to be a madfragger along with kalle and tacky, and in the latest games he hasn't been one.

2009-11-09 22:24

Oh!F**king good news!!! DaY is back.

DaY is a really good player.Welcome back gl :)

2009-11-02 16:42

Day is the shit, but the last fucking thing LIONS need now is lineup changes, but with zEn on the squad you are bound to

2009-11-02 16:49

really good move by lions. m1kkis is a good player, but he hasnt played any good in important matches. zEn and vertigo has played some really good matches and some bad. But they have done better than m1kkis. tacky and kalle is just insane. Looking forward to see next matches against mystical lamba and MYM:)

2009-11-02 17:48

fucking good. nice player. gl DaY

2009-11-02 18:04

m1kkis cant handle the big scale matches, DaY can. simple enough, a team that is on the edge of pro and semi-pro like Oslo Lions needs that player that can handle the big matches against top teams, and from my pov m1kkis couldn't cut it

2009-11-03 00:05

I'm sure Lions wouldnt take in DaY if he was in bad shape;) gl DaY, norwegian comebacks :D

2009-11-03 16:42

REAL, DaY, KF3, prb, ooPS! (if all were at their prime : top5 contender for sure) I hope DaY is still good I remember him playing really well vs Sweden on nuke same match he was walled by zet :D

2009-11-03 17:48

kicking the best player.. thats what happens when zEn joins a team:D teamchangeteamchangeteamchange

2009-11-03 21:23

-zEn +REAL.

2009-11-04 12:02

#94 "kicking the best player." Du er dum du. m1kkis har prestert MYE dårligere enn vertigo,zen,kalle,tacky siste turneringene. nap

2009-11-04 16:10

zEn really sucks... REAL should replace him..

2009-11-04 16:13

-zEn or -vertigo +REAL, it would be fucking amazing

2009-11-04 16:32

wtf they do with REAL???

2009-11-04 16:39

Stop talking about REAL, DAMNIT!!!!

2009-11-04 20:10

Indeed, REAL cant stand long enough to becoe the player he once were.

2009-11-06 12:50

REAL

2009-11-04 21:49

REAL is still the best player in norway, without him they dont have any hope

2009-11-06 10:06

Please quit REAL for a while, he just destroys every team nowadays.... I think this was a good decision, mikkis hasn't been himself for a couple of months, and he hasn't been the madfragger he is supposed to be. zEn calls as you know, Vertigo is more of the reliable teamplayer that always does his job, and kalle and tacky has just been pure sick. :P I hope DaY can still shoot some heads, and this will turn out great. :)
