Online Kingdom lose H^N to the army

9-5-2011 02:44

Online Kingdom have announced Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen has been forced to retire from gaming.

The Finnish player has been called to do his military service, which is mandatory in his country, leaving him inactive from a period that could go up to 12 months.

Pohjalainen, a former member of artoCS and Playzone, had been part of the team since their creation in January and was last seen at Xperia PLAY, playing an important role as Online Kingdom reached the second group stage.


Online Kingdom at Xperia PLAY

The Finnish team are currently on the lookout for a new permanent solution, but until one is found, Power Gaming star Samu "plastE" Aalto will be acting as a stand-in.

Online Kingdom, who are currently competing in the ESL A Series Nordic and the ICSC 8, now have:

Finland Joni "Freon" Huumo
Finland Otto "danzer" Dimitrow
Finland Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm
Finland Jirka "jigetus" Ryhti
Finland Samu "plastE" Aalto (stand-in)

+1 unfortunately, I guess after the military services, people lose motivation to keep playing. I don't remember who went to army then kept playing very well.

A secret? No, but not something that everybody knows. People from all over the world visit this site, so you can't really expect everyone to have knowledge of something that isn't even official. It is a technicality but I just wanted to know if I missed something.
