Counter-Strike: mTw signs natu

By: Luis Mira - Published August 19, 2007 at 12:59 PM EDT - Writer Archive
MTw has completed the signing of Joona "natu" Leppänen.
The Finnish international arrives at mTw after being released from 69°N-28°E last week.

The German team was on the lookout for a reinforcement to replace Michael "PapsT" Schmidt, whose job prevents him from having the necessary time to practice with the team.

When mTw scoured the market for a new solution, the management found no quality options in Germany, which is why it engaged in talks with the former 4Kings member.

MTw is delighted to have signed Leppänen and believes him to be the perfect solution after a few days of practice.

"We did not see any options in the former EPS and in the current EAS players that could fulfill the requirements of mTw," Peter "chimera" Kron, team manager in mTw, told the team's official website.

Leppänen will have his official debut for mTw against OCRANA, for the second round of the EPS league.

MTw has now the following roster:

Germany Nils "bara" Waldowski
Germany Andre "nooky" Utesch
Germany Michael "neo" Mitrega
Austria Thomas "uLTi" Teissl
Finland Joona "natu" Leppänen
Austria Michael "PapsT" Schmid (inactive)

"Leppänen will have his official debut for mTw against ULTRAFORCE, for the opening round of the EPS league."
i dont think so. as far as i know he is not allowed to play at the first playday so his debut will be at second playday against ocrana.

In my opinion nooky is one of the worst players of them, he is just hyped because of his MVP award in EPS IX.

I have to hope that this makes them less strong :D

#14 is right, natu will play versus OCRANA but not versus Ultra (PapsT will play).

Natu is washed up, most random pickup ever :XXX
Sooth: They are professional players. Football players can play with broken noses, heads, fingers.

#14 the mTw match against ULTRAFORCE has been wildcarded, so I guess natu can join the EPS roster in time to play the match.

#30 the english of german ppl usually is worse than scandinavian ppl's english [big factor imo: movies are dubbed over here, whereas they're shown in english in sca (afaik)], but it's good enough to be able to communicate.

but if non-native speak communication can be good enough to play great counter-strike together is another question :>

agree that natu is overrated, but washed up? hell no, hes still a world class player, and a good addition for mtw, if it wouldnt be for the language barrier. somehow I dont see that entire team calling english properly ;x

mtw have historically made a few teams with players from diff countrys.

natu isnt overated. Hes got great aim and a good solid overall game. His intstincts and some decision making is still very 2004'ish at times but should serve this team well.

Morans, who are you to judge natu ?!? He is a great guy and decent player ! I have read a lot of comments where you preach majesty of ''Vatos Locos" or "Defuse Kids" (who will never top good European clans) and some of you devote so many bad words to natu. He does not deserve this.

Those coming from America could you please name a player on Pandemic, D2Excel or any other CS 1.6 U.S. clan roster who is better than natu ?

unlike you I am able to support my opinion with facts. And do not pretend you do not understand what I mean. Both of these clans, not speaking about many others, will never do better than mTw. Now keep your mouth shut and your balls together.

where are your facts to say that 'vatos locos' or 'defuse kids' will NEVER be top good european teams?
please? i'm interested.. maybe the source of your FACTS can tell me the lottery numbers?

edit: and i don't need to pretend to not know what you mean, as i haven't the slightest clue.
