69°N-28°E today announced that they will be playing under the new tag of Team Roccat.

For the past 6 weeks many of you will have noticed on our HLTVs something special that the Finnish team known as 69°N-28°E were planning. Today the team have unveiled that they will be dropping the tag of 69°N-28°E and replacing it with Team Roccat.

Roccat is actually an organization that aims to create trend-setting, intelligent and customized hardware to customers around the world. All the products will have a special story to tell. It is for this reason that Roccat begin with a special promotional offer which can be found on the brand new website, which can be found here. They tell us:

"Follow the trace. Only when you undoubtedly prove we are out somewhere and where we are, we will be supplying you with our Gaming arsenal as long as we exist"

A snippet from the website:

"Just like many professional players have done before you will have the chance to take part in the Evolution Camp. This is a 200qm fully equipped training apartment near the ROCCAT Studios. International top players meet here and develop, in conjunction with us, concepts for your tools of the future."

The Team Roccat roster includes the following players:

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

Another news article was released earlier today linking to the new Team Roccat and can be read here.

This was NOT the "big secret" • Team Roccat - www.roccat.org • 1 day left until the secret will be revealed! • I think the complete list of clans reported "missing" is ID, aAa, Hoorai, Virtus.pro, mTw, NoA, TBH, CNO & Mouz(?)
