Finnish WCG qualifier in Helsinki

9-6-2010 20:57

The Finnish World Cyber Games qualifier has founds its location in Helsinki, and is ready to kick off the 17th of July.

The Finnish WCG qualifier will feature eight teams, gathered at the Level7 Internet cafe in Finland's capital, Helsinki. Two teams have already been invited, RCTIC eSports and the newly-announced squad of Power Gaming.

Power Gaming	RCTIC eSports
Joona "natu" Leppanen	Rolf "FOOZE" Frid
Niko "naSu" Kovanen	Henri "tErppa" Värynen
Tino "tihOp" Puumala	Jukka "jukkaN" Hopeavuori
Samu "plastE" Aalto	Harri "Qad" Savunen
Max "ruuit" Aspe	Otto "defcon" Takala

Whichever team manages to top the tournament will receive a spot for the World Cyber Games Nordic qualifier, held at the Assembly event between 5-8th of August in Helsinki.

The WCG Finland qualifier will see two groups facing off in a single-elimination manner, whereas the playoff stage will feature the best-of-three setup.

Be sure to stay locked to HLTV.org during the whole day, as we will provide full coverage as usual.

RCTIC eSports? Who are they?

2010-06-09 21:00

If they're in shape :P Let's hope they will be! Go go PG

Hope Qualifiers will have atleast 6 teams attending :D

2010-06-09 21:22

doubting that PG are in the shape they were before they stopped, but lets see.

GO POWERGAMING!!!

Bring in contE for either natu or naSu. One of them is bad, but I never remember which one.

out of those 2, its definitely natu

2010-06-09 21:38

natu is pretty bad..but naSu is the 2nd best player on this team imo.. 1st. plastE 2nd. naSu 3rd. ruuit 4th. tihOp 5th. natu just my imo, if they would grab contE > natu, they would be amazing..but they'll still be great

I know it's your opinion, but think, ruuit isn't the 2nd or 1st ? he was top1 player from finland

br0.. by da way in this roster tihOp , naSu and all r good enough so there is no 1st ,2nd and all :) but da team leader & caller are allways be 1st in roster as per i knw :)

2010-06-10 05:15

+1 ruuit is probably still the best in Finland. and I wouldn't swap natu for any other Finnish tactician except lurppis.

2010-06-10 09:03

As far as I know, it's ruuit whos the caller. Atleast he was last time they played, so trading natu for conte, or for some of the PZ guys would be really smart overall imo. Do you know whos the caller? Like hundred percent certain? :-)

natu has called for Cack Clan/Power Gaming ever since they created the new team in May 2009 (and for the record, ruuit has never called since MARVEL/astralis so it's been at least 4 years), except at WEM when contE called since natu wasn't there). contE has army till Jan 2011 so don't expect to see him in this lineup anytime soon, if ever (I doubt people will play into 2011). edit: Most of PZ are starting their military service in July as far as I know so don't expect to ever see these two face off either :p

2010-06-11 12:26

Well I have to find myself completely wrong about everything then, since I suppose you're the one to ask about this, unless the PG players themselves =). Anyways, thank you for the info! And gl with the next tournament and so on ;)

2010-06-11 14:43

Is it just me, or is military service ruining the cs scene in Finland?

2010-06-14 09:39

thats true

2010-06-09 23:49

they qualified for the nordic qualifiers

2010-06-10 06:22

WCG Nordic is not a qualifier, all of them will receive a slot for LA but only the winner gets their expenses covered

Btw, who are RCTIC eSports and how have they deserved to play here? Freinds of the guys who runs the tournament or what? ^^ Never heard of em.

2010-06-12 23:26

PG is a great and skilful team and they play well together. so we have to play well and get our own team to play together. I hope that the evening will be ideal for both teams.
