Power Gaming bring back the Finns

Power Gaming have announced the return of the Finnish Counter-Strike team which disbanded six months ago. 

The Finnish team parted ways with Power Gaming back in the early days of January, as four of the members were to serve in the Finnish military.

Six months have soon passed, and Niko "naSu" Kovanen, Tino "tihOp" Puumala, Samu "plastE" Aalto and Max "ruuit" Aspe will once again be able to play Counter-Strike. The team will consist of exactly the same members who left Power Gaming back in January, as Joona "natu" Leppanen is also in the team this time around.

"I don't think any one of us thought back in January 2010 that we'd actually be making a press release like this come June. I'm happy to have the opportunity to announce that the Power Gaming CS 1.6 team from late 2009, including natu, nasu, plastE, tihOp and ruuit, is making a comeback with full force in July 2010.

"To get up to this point has been a huge puzzle that we've been putting together piece by piece over the past months. We in the team all know that with this combination of players we have all the assets that a team needs to succeed. I'd also like to thank everyone at Power Gaming and their partners SteelSeries & Verygames for their continued support past and present!", said Leppanen to Power Gaming's website.

Power Gaming consist of the following:

Niko "naSu" Kovanen
Tino "tihOp" Puumala
Max "ruuit" Aspe
Samu "plastE" Alto
Joona "natu" Leppanen

The team will attend their first event together in mid-July, when attending the second Finnish qualifier for WCG, a victory there will secure them a spot at the Nordic WCG Finals, taking place in Helsinki, 5-8 of August.
