ruuit steps down at Power Gaming

16-9-2010 20:13

Power Gaming have announced that Max "ruuit" Aspe has decided to step down as player to become inactive.

The Finnish team were recently in attendance at the Samsung European Championship in Berlin, where they placed third after a 2-0 defeat to eventual winners SK Gaming in the semi finals.

Aspe has stood down as a Power Gaming player as he will soon become a father and will require some time to take care of personal matters.

"Although the reason is a very happy one - as his first child is going to be born this fall - we are obviously sad that one of the core members of our team is not going to be joining us on our adventures for a while atleast," Power Gaming captain Joona "natu" Leppanen told the team's website.

Meanwhile, Power Gaming have announced Aspe's replacement in the form of ex-Playzone member Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm, who recently competed in the IEM Last Chance with Finnish mix croveNt.

"BASiC is a young talented player, who has been around in the scene for many years now. This is his first opportunity to play with the most internationally experienced players in Finland. We strongly believe that he will be a great asset to the team and that his hunger and strive will feed more energy into our lineup," Leppanen added.

Fagerholm will have his debut for Power Gaming tonight, against OnTheEdge, in the IEM European Qualifying Round 1.

Power Gaming now have:

Niko "naSu" Kovanen
Tino "tihOp" Puumala
Samu "plastE" Alto
Joona "natu" Leppanen
Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm

Good decision, putting your girlfriend and your future child in front of CS is really smart, I wish him all the best, and may he get a healthy and a beatiful child.

2010-09-16 20:30

Congratulations ruuit, the best player in finland ever. And also good luck to Basic, he is the only player who can eventually fulfill the hole ruuit left to power gaming.

2010-09-16 20:33

would like to see freon in PG :>

2010-09-16 20:41

tihop is the smartest finnish player imo. i guess BASIC is the best choice for the line up, though, spikeone is also good. if conte comes back and replaces natu, this team will be top5 again

the best decision!!!he's gonna become a dad!lots of responsibilities...i think basic is a very good player

2010-09-16 21:00

Ruiit has to step down as a father of the team to become a father irl :D GL and congratulations in advance!

2010-09-16 21:03

Good luck to ruuit in parenthood and basic in PwR. I hope they don't just give him ruuit's role but instead give him a chance to play with his strengths, such as ramproom in nuke or outside awp in train.

2010-09-16 21:04

Congratulations to ruuit :) Welcome baby ruuit!! (in advance) and BASiC is a great choice..the best decision they could have made in these circumstances.

2010-09-16 21:04

damn thats a shame, ruuit's been the best player in finland for years :( wish PG had the lineup: ruuit naSu plastE tihOp contE would probably be the best finnish lineup possible, hopefully contE will come back into the team early next year, and maybe ruuit later too :D

2010-09-16 21:10

it is pity. ruuit was my favourite player of finland. but BASiC's movement is unbelievable good :) gl for him.. he will have to train so much to become a real good replacement to a fantastic player like ruuit. gl for them!

2010-09-16 21:14

PlastE, contE, BASIC, Jigetus, tihOp - the best possible lineup in 2011 (army :S) second: naSu, Vidi, Driim, natu, spin/freon

2010-09-16 21:23

omfg ! nice !

2010-09-16 21:36

gz would be cool to make him a fragmovie :D

2010-09-16 21:36

For all the people saying contE should come back to the lineup, sure he was very skilled and a brilliant player but that lineup was already there once and it fell apart due to the lack of a real ingameleader and real commitment to practicing, as far as I remember

2010-09-16 21:37

1 reply

I don't think they ever where quite committed. Maybe at hoorai and roccat times, but ever since then they never really played up to their potential, and i don't think that contE is the only one to blame for this.

really hope to see this line-up make some impact on the cs scene, it's been a while since finland cs won something :(

2010-09-16 21:47
