jemi returns to starting lineup in HAVU

16-8-2021 18:19

As Jemi "⁠jemi⁠" Mäkinen returns to the starting five, Taneli "⁠disturbed⁠" Veikkola will transition back into the coaching role.

HAVU has announced in a statement that jemi will be transitioning back into the starting lineup, after the Finnish organisation benched the 22-year-old back in June as they evaluated their options.

The statement went on to say that the time jemi spent on the bench was very beneficial, as he could manage the situation and social media pressure that had been building up. Before being benched, jemi had had the team's lowest rating of 0.85 over the previous three events.

jemi returns to the starting lineup

"We believe that getting benched was very beneficial for jemi. He got to process the situation at his own pace, especially the social media pressure that had been getting to him," disturbed said. "We had an opportunity to re-chart players who could fit our roster role-wise. It quickly became apparent that continuing with jemi is the clear #1 option."

During the time jemi was on the bench, disturbed moved from the coaching role into the starting lineup and played 11 official matches with the team, and HAVU finished 9th-12th at Elisa Invitation Summer 2021 and 5th-8th at Pinnacle Cup II. The 28-year-old will now be returning to the coaching role, making space for jemi as the team prepares to return to action on August 21 in the Finnish Championship semi-finals.

HAVU's current starting lineup is:

Olli "⁠sLowi⁠" Pitkänen
Jani "⁠Aerial⁠" Jussila
Sami "⁠xseveN⁠" Laasanen
Lasse "⁠ZOREE⁠" Uronen
Jemi "⁠jemi⁠" Mäkinen

Taneli "⁠disturbed⁠" Veikkola (coach)

Well their coach used be one of the best players in Finland in his active playing times and has a lot of experience. Not a surprise he's still fairly good as he seems to tend to play actively even though not competitively. Jemi on the other hand is a young possible up 'n comer who has little experience of the pressure that you are under when you play at the higher levels where you are visible to more people. He has less life experience to teach him that there is no sense in focusing online opinions and he is relatively new to the pro scene in Finland even so just getting room to take it in might give him time to advance tremendously mentally and possibly gameplay-wise too if he has had time to train on the areas he lacks on (demo review and learning things he has noticed he could do better etc.)

if disturbed was that good as you say he wouldnt be a coach at the age of 28 lol

He is not interested in playing himself, it is not always about skill. And I don't know enough to comment further, there might be some other underlying issues but anyhow.. You can see how he performs after a longer time coaching.. That's your proof. You can also check his history on Liquipedia.

2021-08-16 20:20

yeah, 1 major, nice history bro

2021-08-16 20:22

disturbed is pretty fucking good player, he just dont want to play anymore.

then tell me something about disturbed:D

u have whole internet front of u, make research.

2021-08-16 22:53

all i see on internet is 10k$ earning and 0 titles, nothing else xD

2021-08-16 22:56

thats why u are 0iq, when u can see only money and titles.

2021-08-16 23:22

He isnt pretty fucking good compared to the pros they play against. Maybe compared to the AVG HLTV user tho

2021-08-17 09:27

He retired from pro CS because they money wasn't enough to pay bills when he was playing as an pro. And yes, only 1 major, because one guy can't alone carry team to success. Just look at s1mple and zywoo, 0 major wins. CS is team game, not solo game.

2021-08-17 11:48

Legend rank....

2021-08-17 16:13

Expected. Not a fan of making changes before finding a new guy Gl jemi

2021-08-16 18:23

disturbed is better

2021-08-16 18:24

I guess they couldnt find any replacements so bring back jemi

Yes, and that was already well known before they benched him. No tier 1 or even Tier 2 players in Finland which they realistically could get.

2021-08-16 18:29

ottond i guess, both ottond and zoree are good with a rifle so maybe that could have worked

2021-08-16 18:43

SADDYX? Is he worse?

2021-08-16 21:19

much worse. been playing fulltime ~3 years already, tbh havent done really much..

2021-08-16 22:12

nice

2021-08-16 18:25

gl jemi

expected

Welcome back stronger than before. HAVUJA!

2021-08-16 18:27

Questionable decision

disturbed is way better than jemi or atleast equal.

Jemi atleast knows the smokes =D

2021-08-16 19:03

Knows smokes but doesnt know crosshair placement =D

2021-08-17 09:15

wow this move is boring and won't bring anything, they should've signed someone from KOVA maybe? but please jemi prove me wrong.

2021-08-16 18:37

Kinda yeah but I do not think any of them would actually have been an upgrade

2021-08-16 18:34

doto would be good

2021-08-16 18:59

I was actually one time thinking that he is perfect person to fill havus 5th but sadly it will not happen because he is in ence.

2021-08-16 19:24

+1 i think uli would have been pretty much the same. maybe saddyx could have been the only realistic upgrade

2021-08-16 19:00

Uli was on pracss but not enough good seems. Twixie would be best option but i think they had bad memories when twixie played on havu

2021-08-16 22:25

Such a joke

coach 0.89 jemi 0.85 mmmmmmmm good luck anyways !

JW saved his pregnant kids, Xyp is mother and dexter sold kid to play video game. So many news coming

2021-08-16 18:36

but disturbed was a better player tho

2021-08-16 18:41

well dunno, if jemi managed to work on his form

2021-08-16 20:26

lmao

2021-08-16 18:51

bad move, only if they could get ottond, sergej or sunny...

2021-08-16 19:05

xyp9x leaving Astralis: I sleep Jemi retuning to Havu: REAL SHIT

all crying but u cant really get better from finland, sergej sunny ottond zehn ofc but havu doesnt have that much money / they have better projects / teams. Dont cry.

and Jimpphat signed by SJ.

2021-08-16 19:53

yep, idiots cry

2021-08-17 15:15

damn this is unfortunate. should have been sergej there but I guess money or another reason he didnt want to join. I guess he believes in the gorrilaz project that is bound to fail

So basically they lost out on Jimpphat No way Jimpphat signs with SJ and they immediately decide to bring jemi back and its not a coincidence

Why would Havu a team that has some actual potential pick up a 14yo that would basically restrict them to play in t5 where events dont have a minimum age of 16?

We first have to wait untill 09.09.2022 and he will be 16 by then.

2021-08-18 11:04

-jemi +jemi must be the best move ive ever seen. LMAO

2021-08-16 19:20

Actually it's 200 IQ move

2021-08-17 11:56

Taneli is tactical genius. He is most know of his signature roster move "benching Jemi, but then bringing back Jemi".What a absolute legend. Top1 coach 4sho
