Deathwish add mikkis and syrtekz

21-9-2010 10:14

Norwegian side Deathwish have bolstered their Counter-Strike division with Michael "mikkis" Sokki and Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund.

Deathwish has been without a five-membered squad since the departure of Kenneth "REASTEN" Kristiansen, who opted to join up with alchemists earlier this month, and Hans Petter "CLd" Nykkelmo.

The Norwegian squad were on display in the IEM5 Last Chance tournament earlier this month, where they employed former cbteam member Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund as a stand-in.

Deathwish have now announced Skoglund as a permanent solution to the team, along with the former Vitriolic and Lions player Michael "mikkis" Sokki, who has called off his retirement plans.

Deathwish now have:

Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund
Bernard "serpen" Kvalvik
Michael "mikkis" Sokki
Steffen "phnien" Willumsen
Martin "zenith" Hansen

The team has furthermore canceled their participation for The Convention next month, but hope to attend DreamHack Winter, which was recently announced with a prize purse of $35,400.

Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund will only act as an online backup, as the team is still looking for a permanent fifth player.

Hmm...Although I wish syrtekz in OK..GL

Everything relys on syrtekz dedication. If he is "all-in" they'll get far, if not this will probably die in a couple of months.

Na'Vi are not the best from Ukraine (I mean individually). Esenin lacks some experience in comparison to some other Ukrainian players. At least I think so :)

esenin is important part of Na'Vi. If you watch their game carefully, it's esenin and zeus who are defending bombsides and the rest are playing really agressive before opponent enter BS, also all their tactics are created to let edward, markeloff and starix kill a lot, for exaple, this is esenin who through flash to let starix kill someone also it's impossible to enter BS A, while esenin is there ;) he's awesome at defending
