naSu quits Power Gaming

21-1-2011 18:07

Power Gaming have announced that Niko "naSu" Kovanen has decided to leave the team.

The Finnish player, who had been part of PG since the organisation signed Crack Clan in 2009, has opted to become inactive in order to focus on personal commitments of his.

"He has for quite a while now felt unmotivated and grown tired of spending all the necessary hours playing the game and decided it´s time to concentrate on other things in life," PG captain Joona "natu" Leppanen told the team's website.

This is the second roster loss of the day for Power Gaming, who earlier saw Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm star his own project at Elukkaveljekset Gaming Club with former PlayZone team-mates.

Kovanen's departure leaves Power Gaming with a three-man roster, with Leppanen stating his team "will come back stronger than ever."

Power Gaming have been tipped for a move for Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, who is due to return to Finland in the next weeks after a stint with Evil Geniuses.

The Finnish team currently have:

Finland Tino "tihOp" Puumala
Finland Samu "plastE" Alto
Finland Joona "natu" Leppanen

contE and lurppis would be two great additions. hopefully contE is motivated after sucha long break for CS. really good player when he got the motivation and lurppis well, he was the main reason EG could become a topteam. with this lineup Finland would finally have a team to compete with the best again, even though they might not win a lot of events, they would still finish on a pretty good placing most of the time i think.

I dont get it, these Finns really need to put together the old CrackClan/GamePlay lineup, its the only lineup FInland can produce that will become great. naSu contE plastE ruuit jigetus Im sorry but natu, tihOp, lurppis are all washed up and should just quit the game and Freon, SPIKEONE, etc are not good enough as the rest. This is the only lineup that will bring Finland a championship.
