Today we can finally announce our final line-up for CPL Winter 2005 World Championships event to be held in Dallas, us USA on 14-18th of December. First we picked up kononen to replace naSu for the event, as naSu is only 15 years old and therefore not old enough to participate. After that, Shiri decided to retire from Counter-Strike, leaving one more empty spot, soon to be filled with contE. However, that wasn't enough. At the beginning of this week, we found out that barrack is unable to leave school for an additional week right after WEG Season 3, which basically meant that we had to pick up one more player, or stay home. It was clear from the beginning that we'd still attend the event, and after few discussions we all agreed on who would be our fifth player for this event, and after he finally got his new passport today we can finally announce it: Toni 'toNppa' Luhtapuro will be stepping in for barrack at CPL Winter 2005, leaving our line-up as:

Finland

Juuso 'contE' Sajakoski
Finland

Olli 'kononen' Salmi
Finland

Janne 'Kuppi' Kuparinen
Finland

Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen
Finland

Toni 'toNppa' Luhtapuro

We'll be flying to us USA on Tuesday and the tournament itself begins on Thursday, so make sure to bookmark www.serious-gaming.com for our latest results, or drop by in our irc channel, #serious.team @ QuakeNet!

wow SG make 4k look stable, jk. However i understand it was unavoidable, pity would liked to have seen them play they wouldave done some damage, dont see nething happening from them now

that sucks. I was rooting for you guys to pull off some upsets, too. GL anyways, have fun

i wish nasu could play ;(

bright eyes is like the emoest emo that ever emoed emo

its a shame they no longer have the WEG Line up. O well best of luck wings

that really is a shame , they would of got top10 with their WEG lineup... maybe even with the first altered one but no barrack??? blehhhh gg gl though

id be scared to play with a waterboy also. specially one that gets picked up middle as a t on dust2, FIGHTING!!!!

3 new members, hope they can still place well

"BSL taking his shirt off. One of the best CS celebrations I have ever seen."

Not new _MEMBERS_ ,more likely stand-ins. NaSu is too young and Barrack cant skip school... But yes, I think they wont get far

and #7, their names may sound "retarded" to your american ears, but you LOOK retarded. Sorry, Francis

Spiral out, keep going. Spiral out, keep going. Spiral out, keep going.

That is a shame, was hoping to see what their regular lineup would do. But with this pug, I still hope they can make some upsets.

Gah Nasu being 15 is horrid he wont be able to attend dalls for awhile. I hope they are prepared enough to place really well although they wont place as well as they would have. Hope they dont get flamed for being bad if they place horrid

this isnt serious gaming, dont know why you refeer to them as that.

NoA of champion. i say, noa good noa good. them of say not not, killer_dog_menor crazy.

waiting for more changes ??

When you've got a gun barrel between your teeth, you can only speak in vowels....

#20 i guess they still pay the trip, but got a point.
dont drop from the first group stage :)

I have to agree I doubt they do well with so many changes right before the event.

i really thought they had a great chance at weg but this line up isnt what the old one was

#7 they are finnish. and look at your profile pic, are YOU an alien or something?

JESUS CHRIST, you Fins are slow.

Build a time machine.
First, go ahead three years for NaSu
Second, go back a month for Shiri
Third, go forward through time, let Barrack finish school, then return the enlightened Barrack to this time and go to CPL.

:/ There, no ringers.

let me bob ross the track
