PlayZone announce new team

Only two days after Joni "Freon" Huumo was left alone to create a new team to represent PlayZone, a new squad has been settled.

It was firstly reported on Tuesday that the Finnish squad of Playzone had called it quits, after a dispute between Joni "Freon" Huumo and Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm on whether to stick with their former team or commit to new players had occured.

The incident ultimately saw Fagerholm put professional gaming on the shelf, and Huumo was left alone to create a new team. Huumo has however spent the two days well, and PlayZone have now introduced their new stall of players.

The team has added three of Huumo's former Soltec teammates, Atte "VIDI" Hyväkkä, Ari "spin" Raimi and Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä. This followed by the introduction of former munkka ace Aleksi "allu" Rundberg.

"As we move to a season with a bit less official "offline" events we decided to give this new team a chance to use our spots in the EPS group stage and IEM Main Round, to give them the time they need "online" to prepare for any offline events that might be in the future .. This is probably the Finns last chance in PlayZone so therefore I wish them every success!!", PlayZone CEO Kristopher "Sight" Smith told HLTV.org.

PlayZone now have:

Joni "Freon" Huumo
Atte "VIDI" Hyväkkä
Ari "spin" Raimi
Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä
Aleksi "allu" Rundberg 

The organization's newest additions will appear in the ESL Pro Series Nordic season three, as well as the IEM5 European Championship Main Round.

who are spin aslak and allu?
2010-08-19 21:26:57
spin former ATS.fin with dRiimm and Freon, aslak and allu were from munkka, the best of them to be honest.
2010-08-19 21:35:36

2010-08-19 23:27:38
nah, they are better off without them. they just drag the motivation in the team to the bottom and after a while the team disbands. these guys are young and motivated (well maybe not VIDI). in my opinion they got a bigger chance to succeed than they would with spikeone and conte, even if those two players are really good.
2010-08-19 23:31:23
You seem like you know much about finnish cs scene...What do you think about team's latest additions? :D
2010-08-20 13:12:35
i think they are good, they got potential. it really just comes down to how much they practice and how much the organisation behind them expects from them. if they give them time, they got a good chance of making a mark among the better teams in europe i'd say.
2010-08-20 14:04:22
Never heard them before, except Freon. Anyway, good luck!
2010-08-19 21:33:43
Lovely lineup, though I miss BASiC there.

2010-08-20 00:03:37
What you are talking about? What about powergaming, infernalgamers, dickhouse.fi? You dont know nothing about finnish cs scene so be quiet monkey.
2010-08-20 06:30:27
Isn't dickhouse estonian? Not entirely finnish. And please don't include infernal into this discussion...
2010-08-20 13:28:27
ahahah... and no, dickhouse is playing under finnish flag. they have 2 estonians and rest are finnish (at least in EAS)
2010-08-20 13:43:26
Yeah I meant that all of the members are not finnish.
