WinFakt have announced that they have decided to cut all bonds with their Finnish Counter-Strike 1.6 division.
The Finnish team, which attended 3rd Generation Intel Core Challenge by Inferno Online this past Saturday in Stockholm, is now without a home, as they have been dropped by the Belgian-based organization.
WinFakt signed the Finnish team in August last year, shortly before e-Stars Seoul. The deal was at first only for the South Korean event, but the two sides decided to continue the cooperation.
Since then the team went through several roster changes and after the IEM6 World Championship the team has been without captain Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, who has stated he's inactive but has not retired. Since the event in March the team has used Miikka "dRiim" Toroi and Janne "Metaphor" Halinen to fill the fifth spot.
While representing WinFakt the Finnish team managed to win FireCore 3 and digifest Fall. The time in WinFakt also included podium finishes at IEM6 Global Challenge Guangzhou and New York, as well as Samsung Euro Championship and more recently a third place finish at Copenhagen Games.
The announcement on the WinFakt's website only states that the two sides are parting ways. Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm's statement on the team's website reads:
"It's been amazing time be part of WinFakt gaming team and organization. Their support for us has been easily the best I have ever had from organization and there have never been any problems to get some tournament if we wanted to attend and we have had possibility to compete against best teams in the world.
I dont want to comment what is gonna be our teams future and everything is quite open yet, but personally I'm gonna have a break from CS on pro level, even though I'm probably gonna play it again. Big thanks for WinFakt's management and players who have been playing with me during this time, it has been an awesome time."
As Fagerholm's comment states, the future for him and the team is still undecided, with Fagerholm stating he will take a break from the game.
WinFakt's lineup was:
Kimmo "BASiC" Fagerholm
Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen
Aleksi "allu" Jalli
Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä
Janne "Metaphor" Halinen (stand-in)
Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen (inactive)
The Finns are currently participating in the fnatic RC PLAY Counter-Strike league, no comments have been made if they will continue or pull out of the league.

i'm not saying that i thought it would happen, tho, just that didn't surprise me
also, like bRN said, 9 players in months, culminating on their captain's absence
But drimm? lol he's show the impact he did on the games lol. Lurppis quiting them was like when lurppis was kicked out of EG they drop their consistency, that was the only thing that made EG being "called" a tp5/8 team of the world, and winfakt as well, i bet u that with lurppis they would not lose against teams like m5 eSreal and so on.
fuck the lame eye-pretty games :/
GL guys, hope to see you back on track real soon

"Finnish CS" doesn't mean pro teams with organisations which competes against Worlds Top 5 teams.
Hannu "H^N" Pohjalainen
Aleksi "allu" Jalli
Timi "aslak" Verkkoperä
Janne "Metaphor" Halinen
best of luck gents.
2bad, but i think most of those new lineups that you guys are seeing right now will move to cs:go in the end of the year, that is probably when the game gona be released, u will see this lineup or a similar one coming back and other teams move on to the new game.
