It has now been confirmed that the CS division of the Junk52 organization has indeed folded though it is not yet certain whether they will be recruiting a new CS team. This comes after the rest of the squad apparently de-tagged on IRC and left their channels. With regards to the future, the Junk52 website had this to say:

We will most likely recruit a new team and try once again, but we can't say when that is going to happen. The only thing we can say now is that when we recruit a new team, it will be a foreign team (junk52 is a Finnish organization).

We would like to thank the following players for their hard work for us:
- Kaamos
- Omaster
- toNppa
- contE
- bigi
- flo

We wish Kaamos and the rest of the former team the very best of luck!

We will be also releasing another press release in near future about our future plans and things regarding our work for Counter-Strike. In the meanwhile, keep the heads up.

This is now the third Finnish CS team to leave Junk52 in a short period of time. Junk52's management blamed their inability to hold onto teams on the instablility in the Finnish CS scene.

“It’s the instability of the Finnish CS scene;” said j52|Alpha, “I mean, a lot of our players didn't even act like professionals. If it doesn't go like they want to, they leave.”

However, this was disputed by the Junk52 players. When asked about Junk52's management skills, former member toNppa insisted that it was the players’ decision to fold the team down.

"The management have their beliefs," said toNppa, "nothing I say will change that."

During their lifetime the team, who previously played under the name MARVEL, were reasonably successful, finishing a very respectable 3rd place at both Rixhack`05 and the National WCG`05 Qualifiers. It seems that the main reason for the breakup is the loss of members Kaamos and Ruuit to Astralis and Omaster to WoW.

What happens to the remaining three members remains to be seen. What we do know is that this is another heavy blow to an already unstable Finnish CS scene, with the number one Finnish team Astralis having serious roster problems and D-Skyline no where to be found.
