Counter-Strike: CMAX.gg seals kookas deal

By: Luis Mira - Published November 27, 2007 at 11:16 AM EST - Writer Archive
CMAX.gg has completed the signing of Konsta "kookas" Kaisla.
The Finnish talent has been playing for CMAX.gg since the team decided to part company with Janne "Kuppi" Kuparinen because of the squad's recent lack of motivation.

Kaisla played a major role in CMAX.gg's first place at ASUS Autumn 2007, where the team defeated Virtus.pro twice in the Grand Final to grab the gold.

CMAX.gg player Slaava "Twista" Rasanen believes that Kaisla's perfomance in Russia led to this move and stated that the new signing has the potential to become a quality asset to the squad.

"We took Kookas for a few weeks to start with and gave him a chance to prove his skills at the ASUS-tournament, his first foreign event," Rasanen told fragbite.com.

"There he showed us that he has got what it takes to play on our level. He is a well motivated player and will become an excellent gamer."

Kaisla should have his official debut for CMAX.gg next Monday, December 3rd, against x6tence e-Sports club, for Extreme Masters II.

CMAX.gg has now the following roster:

Finland Antti "Shiri" Makinen
Finland Matti "SpikeOne" Jarvinen
Finland Slaava "Twista" Rasanen
Finland Tino "tihOp" Puumala
Finland Konsta "kookas" Kaisla

I have taken a liking to this squad.

Spikeone, Shiri, and tih0p have impressed me throughout, watching them vs. fnatic and Virtus.Pro really showed they have potential to be up there with the best.

Who was the guy who was just arguing with me about whether kookas is a new face in the international counter-strike scene or not?

"We took Kookas for a few weeks to start with and gave him a chance to prove his skills at the ASUS-tournament, his first foreign event,"

So I was right again, I wish I could just rub that in a bit more.

#5 toomi doesn't quite fit in there since he has always blown in 1.6, that's why he switched to source briefly. Idk if he still plays it.

seriously, how can you even consider taking natu over kookas?
kookas is better, hungrier, more motivated, better looking and probably even funnier then natu.

ps. no not kidding about the better looking part, his ass is tight !
