Playzone bring in three

20-7-2010 02:04

Playzone have announced they have revamped their Counter-Strike department with the additions of three players.

The Finnish side had been with a two-man roster after watching Otto "danzer" Dimitrow, Jirka "jiGetus" Ryhti and Miikka "dRiim" Toroi all leave to serve in the military.

Playzone had been testing several players with hopes of finding the perfect formula, and they have now found their men in the shape of Luukas "lukee" Paananen, Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen, Lassi "MulleN" Nurmio.

"When three of our players left, we thought about trying out something new and we picked up some new talented and hungry players who have a lot of motivation to play," Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm told HLTV.org.

"lukee played with eXelon before they went down, H^N has played just in some Finnish LANs with artoCS and MulleN has not played for any top team before."

The new Playzone team will have their official debut at the WCG Nordic finals at Assembly Summer from 5-8 August, featuring:

Finland Joni "Freon" Huumo
Finland Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm
Finland Luukas "lukee" Paananen
Finland Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen
Finland Lassi "MulleN" Nurmio

Why even bother commenting when you have zero knowledge about the finnish scene? These players are very talented, with practice they can probably reach the same level as the old playzone lineup.
