Update from the Crack Clan camp

8/4/2009 - 22:16

We announced earlier tonight the changes in Crack Clan, things turn out they were not 100% true.

Crack Clan announced the Kovanen brothers quitting CS (for now), joining up would be Max "ruuit" Aspe and Tino "tihOp" Puumala. It has however come to our attention that the source was not 100% correct. The team will also say goodbye to Matti "SPIKEONE" Järvinen and bring in Jirka "jigetus" Ryhti.

We spoke with Ben Woodward, Crack Clan General Manager, about the swap.

"The players felt the new team with jigetus in it made more sense with the lineup changes that have been made. It's always regrettable to make changes in any lineup but sometimes they are unavoidable. SPIKEONE is a really nice guy and i wish him all the best in the future and I’m sorry his time in crack was short-lived."

Crack Clan will now be consisting of following:

Juuso "contE" Sajakoski
Jirka "jigetus" Ryhti
Max "ruuit" Aspe
Samu "plastE" Aalto
Tino "tihOp" Puumala

Confirmed by Crack Clan, this is the new lineup. The team will be attending the ESWC Asia Masters if they get off the waiting list.

haha

2009-04-09 11:20

U'll see

2009-04-09 10:44

That's funny cause its the same lineup as last year +jigetus -nasu and the only person who communicated well on that team was nasu, who is now gone... then again, what do i know, ive only played on that team for 3 years.

2009-04-08 23:10

:DDD Just get the 69n-28e l-up back and win wcg. ;) BTW, just for curiosity could you tell me, is there any really bright-star awper in finland? I mean, coz you obvioisly know more abut the scene than I never will.

2009-04-08 23:29

tihop? honestly have no clue.

2009-04-09 02:10

No, I don't think so. Obviously there's no really good awp

2009-04-09 10:43

I think spikeone is good one with the awp and conte..

2009-04-09 11:27

tihOp is a great awp'er -.-

2009-04-09 12:06

lurppis is actually a good awper :). I've seen it especially on train.

2009-04-11 17:51

n1 Nix0n :D

2009-04-08 22:26

spikeone is the best finnish player :( , gl nasu and lurppis IRL

2009-04-08 22:29

hahahahahahaaaa

tt spikeone is the best finn

2009-04-08 22:31

gl jigetuZ =)

2009-04-08 22:33

GL.

Hmmh, kookas would have also been a good choice

+1 plastE kookas tihOp ruuit conte would be better.

2009-04-09 00:40

agree, kookas is really good

2009-04-09 13:25

Are they kidding ?

2009-04-08 22:57

2009-04-08 23:09

The Fins are my guys regardless. I can't wait to see the first match with this lineup, but I expect good things to come.

2009-04-08 23:21

wtf lol :D

2009-04-08 23:43

Update from the Crack Camp ;]

2009-04-08 23:45

10times better then lurppis...anytime lurppis came back to this team they suddenly got worst results;)

jigetus > SPIKEONE!

2009-04-08 23:53

+million, it's true!

2009-04-09 08:23

GL CC! I hope they can make much better than they used to .

2009-04-08 23:54

I have always read about rocaat/68N92E/Gameplay/CC in news about line-up changes mostly. :|

2009-04-09 00:38

I still find it funny that a BRITISH organization is giving statements on what members are right etc... when the British scene is about as good as tits on a fish.

2009-04-09 00:42

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA i roflmaololed on that last one. hahaha

2009-04-09 01:09

I'm trying to understand what you are implying here, feel free to elaborate.

2009-04-09 10:31

the 1.6 scene isnt exactly world class is all i am saying, as in playing wise. sure you guys are doing a good job with the flying finns, but its a shame no british players are breaking through at a top level.

2009-04-09 19:56

Oh i see, hadn't a clue what you were trying to say based off your initial statement. CC are a UK org but yes, we dont have UK players, what does that have to do with anything? Dignitas have a stranglehold on the UK scene currently, it's disappointing they dont attend more events but this is not my problem!

2009-04-09 23:28

I actually mis-read your quote, so apologies for that. I thought it was yourself saying that it was best for the team, which is what I found funny seeing as really the british scene isnt up to scratch yet. Yeah, only problem is with dignitas is that I cant see them competing with the likes of mTw, SK, fnatic etc at the highest level of CS any time soon.

2009-04-10 01:19

dRiim ?

2009-04-09 01:05

-tihop +dRiim

2009-04-09 01:13

2009-04-09 01:18

2009-04-09 01:22

I have no clue why they removed spikeone?

2009-04-09 02:12

2009-04-09 03:31

2009-04-09 04:49

Does anyone of you know when and where will cc play on next time?

2009-04-09 06:19

Think the main problem in old CC vas lurppis.

2009-04-09 06:34

hv gl

2009-04-09 08:02

ruuit is backk!!! back to dominating nuke.

2009-04-09 08:43

seconded. <3 ruuit!

2009-04-09 12:28

2009-04-09 10:19

contE in a asshole if you read the whole story readmore.eu/index.php?cont=news&id=4959

2009-04-09 10:52

known :D

2009-04-09 12:36

Yeah. Suddenly after reading that article i feel like contE should have left instead of nasu and lurppis. And after that maybe bring ruuit back in the team. But what's done is done. maybe we'll see line-up like "Lurppis, nasu, spikeone, natu and tonppa" later this year.

2009-04-09 13:46

and eswc will be?

2009-04-09 10:58

Communication is an important part, there is nothing worse in a match, than don't receive a call and suddenly see 2 teammates dead on B-side a.e.

2009-04-09 12:42

What i've discovered is that a out-game communication is very important. All of the players should have the same characters and sense of humor, imagine: if one guy is sum "badass mothaphuka", and the rest is calm etc. then this "badass" is first to departure.

indeed :D

2009-04-09 13:59

hmm maybe finland can have another pro team with spikeone kookas dRiim +2 :)

2009-04-09 13:44

soltec :P
