69N-28E with changes

9-8-2007 07:26

69N-28E won the Finnish WCG qualifier last weekend at Assembly Summer. Now they undergo changes in their roster.

They have been dominating the Finnish CS scene for quite some time now. They have won all their qualifiers, doing well in the great tournaments and playing among the top in the best online leagues. But now it's time for changes in the Finnish top clan. Last time we saw changes within 69N-28E was back when toNppa went out, and they added the former 4Kings player natu. They played with the lineup for quite some time, doing well. They won the final versus fnatic in the second season of NGL-One. Since their NGL-One win, they have been doing well, but not well enough it seems? It's time to reveal the changes in 69N-28E.

Out will be going Joona "natu" Leppänen, the player that joined the team about 7 months ago. So who's the new addition to 69N-28E?
The player replacing natu will be Samu "plastE" Aalto. He is former member of the second best team in Finland, Team Logitech. With the departure of natu, and the arrival of plastE, the 69N-28E roster will be as follows:

Juuso "contE" Sajakoski
Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen
Niko "naSu" Kovanen
Max "ruuit" Aspe
Samu "plastE" Aalto

There is no official statement just yet, only the announcement in the topic on IRC: natu leaves, welcome Samu 'plastE' Aalto!
Stay tuned for the official statements, and drop by their homepage to follow their so called 'secret', there's only two weeks left!

I didn't see this one coming, at all. I must say I think natu did great, but there's without doubt something wrong since he's no longer a part of the team. Best of luck in the future to both natu and 69N-28E.

I must say this was a rather stupid move. Finnish clans are known (to me at least)) for self destructing after constantly changing lineups (Astralis anyone? The longest they had the same lineup was for like a month?), and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again, this time to two clans (Logi & N69) who are the only clans I even spectate. Just look what has happened with SK after changing lineups... AND if you were to choose one player I would've chosen tihOp. When he whips out teh awp it's playtime b1tch3s.

It seems that natu had no longer enough time/will to play as much as the team wanted him to. It´s almost the same as with toNppa. plastE´s clearly a good player, but I would have prefered natu to stay with the team :( At least for his blogs...
