There has been alot of changes in the top tier of Finnish CSS recently.

The number 1 Finnish has left their organisation after a long history of problems with the management. Team Logitech.fi have left the organisation and have taken on the temporary name of Team zOo-. this leaves the former top Finnish eSports organisation with only an 'average' cod4 team, making it look like the end of the road for them.

The lineup remains as follows:

Sami 'Samitsky' Kuivala

Juho 'Zaikovski' Sunnari

Ollimatti 'delonge' Vehkalahti

Miika 'Maikou' Liimatainen

Sami 'quMp' Saarelainen

Juho 'Zaikovski' Onnari has issued the following statement about the cause for their departure:

After winning Assembly 08 in the beginning of august, we haven't been able to get in touch with neqqu. We were supposed to attend i34 the next weekend after Assembly tournament but neqqu couldn't arrange it in time, even tho he knew about the event months before. We were disappointed about this but tried to keep our motivations high with some lineup changes. Our next goal was to attend PCGamer in the end of september. After the i34 incident neqqu basicly cut us off completely. He just took the Assembly winnings (2000e) and ran off. The first few weeks went normal. He said we would be going to PCGamer, he said he would transfer the assembly winnings but nothing happened. Since then it has been complete radio silence. We even had to call neqqu's boss to find out that we werent going to PCGamer and that's the point when we totally lost our motivation.

So basicly we missed two major lans and all the practice we put into our game was completely wasted. Now it felt like it was time for really big changes if we wanted to keep on going. We had major lineup changes and were left with only 1 long time member of the original Logitech lineup. It just didn't feel right to play with the name anymore and as we haven't been able to contact our 'manager' for over a month it was rather easy decision to leave the organization. This weekend we gave neqqu his last chance to explain his actions. He actually answered us but the reason for his absence wasn't worth staying for.

I would also like to add that Logitech itself doesnt have anything to do with this. It's just the guy handling everything, neqqu. He doesnt work for Logitech and manages the team just for fun. No hard feelings towards him nor the organization. They gave us the chance to attend LAN79, DH Summer 08 and TEX. Thanks to Logitech for the financial support and thanks to neqqu for everything u did or didnt do. Please pay back our assembly winnings!

Now it's time for a fresh start with this lineup. From now on Team Logitech will be known as Team zOo-. Nothing's changed but the name as we still are the same bunch we announced earlier.

We are currently looking for a new organization and open to any offers. Best way to contact us is via IRC @ #zooteam or by email to zaikovski[at]gmail.com

In other related news a new top Finnish CSS team has formed consisting of ex-4Kings and ex-Logitech.fi players. The team will go under the name Team Bangcock until they find a suitable organisation to represent.

The lineup is as follows:

Jona 'natu' Leppänen

Olli 'kononen' Salmi

markus 'synt' Raatikainen

Samuel 'god' Räsänen 

  Marko 'owa-' Mattila

Marko 'owa-' mattila issued the following statement about the new team:

A week ago I was thinking about starting to play css again, and then I found out that kononen was out from lgt and asked if he was interested, and he was.

So then I just asked god and he asked natu and synt and now we are five, and ready to practice and do some work for success.

We are currently without organisation and looking for one, so we are open for any offers.

You can find us in #team-bangcock - its our temporary team name.

Team Infused wishes both teams the best of luck.
