Virtanen had been with Four Kings some eighteen months adding stability to a roster that has seen its fair share of changes in the past few months. He enters into the spot at SK vacated by Mattias “Snajdan” Andersen who according to SK has “decided to take a break from gaming and focus on his new job.”

Both 4K and SK had a tough WEG Masters event. SK's only victory at WEG was at 4K's expense. Many predicted a roster change in SK’s Swedish team following a poor performance in China and Virtanen topped most prospective player lists.

This move brings SK closer together as a team, as Andersen lives in Gothenburg while Virtanen lives in Stockholm with the rest of SK. SK is now in a position where they can put in plenty of practice at Inferno Online, SK’s official café.

According to both Four Kings and SK’s webpage Virtanen will play in his first SK match tonight versus Serious Gaming in the NGL league. Four Kings will be announcing a stand-in player for ESWC UK shortly, and they plan on attending the rest of the events this year. Ed “Hotshot” Harborne, 4K’s manager, confirmed their fifth player situation and commented on rumors that Keir “aKuJii” Mccann is unhappy playing CS.

“No new fifth is confirmed yet, and no, Keir is perfectly happy,” said Harborne. “(He’s) understandably upset about Jonas leaving but these things happen. This game’s adapting all the time and people adapt with it.”

This leaves Four Kings with the following roster:
Keir “aKuJii” Mccann
Thomas “DaY” Rudstrøm
Marc Mangiacapra
Joona “natu” Leppänen

This leaves SK with the following roster:
Michael “ahl” Korduner
Christer “fisker” Eriksson
Jonas “GoodFella” Virtanen
Abdisamad “SpawN” Mohamed
Christian “vilden” Lidström
