PZ remove VIDI, bring back dRiim

Playzone have shown Atte "VIDI" Hyväkkä the exit-door, due to lack of motivation and missing important elements as in-game leader.

The Finnish squad announced their latest changes in end of May, when Joni Freon Huumo replaced Miikka "dRiim" Toroi. At the time of the changes, Atte "VIDI" Hyväkkä was brought in as in-game leader, which clearly did not work out as planned, as Hyväkka today was shown the exit-door.

"After welcoming VIDI as an in-game leader instead of shaker, somewhat positive results were displayed, but not everything was as fine as it looked on the outside. As time has passed on, the players have showed a certain degree of displeasure regarding VIDI's activity and motivation to play, and they miss in-game leadership", read the Playzone website

Filling the void of Hyväkkä will be Toroi, who as of recently have been helping the team in ESL Pro Series Nordic. The in-game leader will now be transferred to Huumo.

Playzone now consist of:

Finland Otto "danzer" Dimitrow
Finland Jirka "jigetus" Ryhti
Finland Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm
Finland Miikka "dRiim" Toroi
Finland Joni "Freon" Huumo

Playzone yesterday received an invite to ESWC 2010 and can be followed during their last two games in ESL Pro Series Nordic, facing MYM and mTw respectively.

If people say that this is the right decision than something is wrong, VIDI is by far the best fragger in the team.

maybe the other 4 team members didn't like him that much, or something goes wrong between VIDI and one or two or even three of them.

He's not "by far" the best fragger in the team, hes not even the best fragger. jigetus clearly has that role, and yes, VIDI would shine at times, but jigetus is way more consistent as you can see on HLTV's rankings, he's #11.

Awesome move, except that VIDI is ridicolously better than danzer, and he's such a clutch performer! dRiim is obviously one of the worlds best players, so anyways, great move.
