ASUS ROG Nordic Challenge teams list

13-10-2015 22:47

The eight teams battling it out for $10,000 at the ASUS ROG Nordic Challenge in Helsinki, Finland are now known.

Taking place from October 30-November 1, in the same weekend as the next CS:GO major, the ASUS ROG Nordic Challenge will bring eight teams to the DigiExpo in Helsinki, Finland for a shot of the $10,000 prize-pool.

Seven teams of the eight have received direct invites to the event, while one team came through a Finnish national qualifier that featured 64 teams and played out this past weekend on October 11th.

Dosia to attend ASUS ROG Nordic Challenge in a Nostalgie mix

The official teams list for the event, including lineups, is therefore:

Nostalgie	MIXCAT
Alexey "⁠OverDrive⁠" Birukov	Taneli "⁠disturbed⁠" Veikkola
Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov	Mikko "⁠xartE⁠" Välimaa
Kirill "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow	Tom "⁠stonde⁠" Glad
Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov	Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen
Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev	Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi
DenDD	Torpedo
Simon "⁠twist⁠" Eliasson	Samuel "⁠decent⁠" Oldenburg
Benjamin "⁠BENDJI⁠" Söderena	Joachim "⁠darti⁠" Fornstedt
Robin "⁠robiin⁠" Sjögren	John "⁠Awien⁠" Waltersson
Erik "⁠zende⁠" Sundeqvist	William "⁠tease⁠" Sid
Miran "⁠dumz⁠" Matković	Simon "⁠atter⁠" Atterstam
Space Soldiers	BX3
Tugay "⁠TuGuX⁠" Keskin	Anders "⁠aNdz⁠" Kjær
Çağatay "⁠DESPE⁠" Sedef	Jon "⁠DaY⁠" Thomas Rudstrøm
Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş	Christian "⁠moen⁠" Moen
Emre "⁠e1⁠" Biçer	Adam "⁠PAINT⁠" Fjellum
Cihan "⁠ONLY⁠" Gönek	Kristian "⁠KORN⁠" Hokland
RCTIC	ajuri (Qualified team)
Slaava "⁠Twista⁠" Räsänen	Joona "⁠joona⁠" Puumalainen
Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha	Jesse "⁠zehN⁠" Linjala
Saku "⁠SAGGERTON⁠" Jokinen	Jani "⁠shed⁠" Marjanen
Lasse "⁠ZOREE⁠" Uronen	Jimi "⁠pnarek⁠" Nieminen
Sami "⁠xseveN⁠" Laasanen	Kasperi "⁠qiini⁠" Leppanen

A number of eyebrow raising attendees will be at ASUS ROG Nordic Challenge, including ex-HellRaisers member Dosia playing with former teammates in a Nostalgie mix as well as twist (technically still with Copenhagen Wolves) playing in the Swedish DenDD mix.

disturbed will come out of retirement to play with MIXCAT and Turkey's Space Soldiers will attend, which will no doubt put XANTARES' strong rating on our site to the test.

The event will be covered by an English off-site stream via NiPgamingTV as well as on-site in Finnish by Teemu “wabbit” Hiilinen and Juha “aNGeldusT” Kurppa.

*UPDATE*: Torpedo will be attending the event in London Conspiracy's stead.
