SPIKEONE, Twista in new team

Matti "SPIKEONE" Järvinen and Slaava "Twista" Räsänen have mounted a new rootz team, hoping to challenge the country's top dogs.

The two players have made numerous stints together throughout the years, having appeared in clans such as Logitech.fi, Excello and 4Kings.

Following the breakups of Playzone and eXelon in late last year, the two are now at it again, this time with three rather unknown faces for the international audience.

Questioned about what the team hopes to achieve, Matti "SPIKEONE" Järvinen stated:

"First of all we aim to be a motivated, stable team that plays together for a long time, as player changes usually just hurt the team. And of course, challenge Power Gaming, OK and munkka in Finland and internationally."

When asked what it will require from them as a team to take on the Finnish top dogs, he continued by saying:

"Practice a lot and learn from our mistakes and losses. Need to stay motivated even if we don't succeed right away."

rootz boast the following players:

Finland Matti "SPIKEONE" Järvinen
Finland Slaava "Twista" Räsänen
Finland Jesse "KHRN" Grandell
Finland Aleksi "poc" Tiainen
Finland Timo "reflex" Rintala

The team, who is currently on the lookout for an organization to house them, are now looking into competing in upcoming online leagues.

You misunderstood him.. He probably meant the Finnish team being ranked as 4th would only be top50 in Europa. Finlands top3 teams are of course higher ranked than top50 :]

remains to be seen if spikeone stays true to his word (statement). i really hope they stay together and can challenge the other finnish teams in the long run. i doubt that finland has had this sort of depth in the cs scene since the good old days around 2004 or so, which is nice to see. also nice to see reflex back in action. glhf
