munkka change lukee for dRiim

Finnish team munkka have announced the departure of Luukas "lukee" Paananen as the team expected better results, joining the team is the former Playzone member Miikka "dRiim" Toroi.

The Fins most recently attended Xperia PLAY at Copenhagen Games 2011, where they crashed in the second group-stage, following loss' against SK and fnatic.

Today the team announced they had cut ties with Luukas "lukee" Paananen due to problems in the team and the fact that the team expected better results. Filling in for Paananen is the former Playzone member Miikka "dRiim" Toroi, who last month returned from his military service.

"We have had some problems in our team, and to keep up the motivation and enthusiasm, we decided to add a well-known and experienced player Miikka 'dRiim' Toroi. We want to thank Luukas 'lukee' Paananen for his time with us and wish him good luck.

He is a really good guy and fun to play with, but we expected better results and that made us think about changing our lineup a little. Miikka brings a lot of experience and knowledge to our team and we hope that we will achieve good results with him." – Tomi "zabaz"
Verkkoperä told HLTV.org.

munkka consist of the following:

Finland Tomi "zabaz" Verkkoperä
Finland Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä
Finland Juuso "fonex" Malvela
Finland Aleksi "allu" Jalli
Finland Miikka "dRiim" Toroi

Next task for the team will be the ICSC8 group-stage, in which they have been drawn into Group D with Natus Vincere, tao and MaxFloPlaY.

Why would I fall for your trolling? I just express my thoughts. Instead of sitting there and trolling, you could be giving constructive feedback towards zabaz instead of saying that his statistics is shit.. I mean, come on dude. Sometimes I don't even know if ur on the same planet as the rest of the world. And let me remind you that you once made urself look like a fool, ending up on fragbite list of Hall-of-shame, believing that you were chatting with allen. (But that's none of the topic that we should discuss about in this news.) And on the topic, zabaz is, and should be a continued team-member, as he has been a vital part of the team. Note that I mentioned that he's one of the IGL's. Clearly you assumed that his roll in this team is a standard player... Which he isnt...

Still once again... You haven't really learned how to be mannered on the internet.... You still abuse people by telling them that they suck. Get your shit 2gether, ur 19 years old soon and you sit here on HLTV.org and troll players who're tenth times ur skill... If I were you, (as I suppose that finish CS is watching what you write here and laugh about it on their private Q-net channel), you should be quiet as you keep embarrasing yourself on the internet.

Still cheats on internet. You've no evidence on me cheating at the internet. Why do you even do a such accusation here at HLTV? I quitted attending LANs before you even were borned due to not believing in this game no more. Who are you to tell that I'm a joke? The whole scene laughed at you when we saw you at bestoffragbite's hall of shame threads (The one you said you'd f*ck HeatoNs sister, and the one that you wanted to play for SK) Come on TWICE, you've never been good as some of the people on HLTV say. Your a nobody and you'll still be a nobody..... Most fun part is that your the most laughed at player in Sweden. And you'll always be the bigger joke, as long as you keep that attitude of yours.. <a href="bestoffragbite.blogspot.com/2010/01/kill..">bestoffragbite.blogspot.com/2010/01/kill..</a> <a href="bestoffragbite.blogspot.com/2010/12/luri..">bestoffragbite.blogspot.com/2010/12/luri..</a> Have fun with your tragic life, as you keep on abusing everyone at both QNET / HLTV / fragbite.... P.S: Do yourself a favour and don't use HLTV.org, you'll be bashed even here as you keep on trolling people who are the tenth of ur skill.....

Finland could be : lurppis (igl) basic aslak jigetus anotherone and France : harts (igl) diodel majer sixer anotherone
