Soltec announce closedown

24-2-2010 21:43

Soltec have announced the disbandment of their Counter-Strike team.

Though no-one from the Finnish Counter-Strike team has commented on the decision, the following message can be read upon entering Soltec's IRC channel: * Topic is '-FOLD-'.

This marks the end of what looked like one of Finland's strongest teams to emerge after the death of Powergaming last month.

Soltec, who announced last week the acquisition of Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä, were due to attend the Finnish qualifier for EPS Nordic.

The Finnish team had the following line-up:

Joona "natu" Leppänen
Matti "SPIKEONE" Järvinen
Joni "Freon" Huumo
Ari "spin" Raimi
Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä

Just because they folded? It's just good for Finnish scene if natu and the other old fellas quit and new blood joins. And I'm quite sure that the "young" players of Soltec will find a new team pretty soon.

What I meant, is that none of the remaining finnish teams can compete at the top lvl.

his bad attitude to the game, he's very much like contE in that matter, never wants to play or anything. he's never serious about cs.

Are you sure that was why Soltec closed their doors? I mean, they could've just removed SPIKEONE from the team?

they could have, but then who would they replace him with? the finnish scene is too small, they actually thought about folding the team already when VIDI left. but to be fair, spikeone wasnt the only reason, but probably a big part of it.

2010-02-27 16:01

Whatever. This is nothing new in the Finnish scene, glad Lurppis is doing well in EG now. I feel sorry for Freon though. He's a good player and a nice guy. =|

2010-02-25 04:20

Maybe EG can bring in natu and spikeone to keep lurrpis company, then maybe they can win some more international tournaments XD (except gamegune which basically had no real good teams in it)
