The Finnish team was expected to participate in the Inferno Online League Season 1 Finals taking place in Stockholm, having even been drawn in group D.

However, it has now been reported that 4Kings will not attend the event after the organisation refused to send the team to Sweden, a decision which has made the squad leave the UK-based home.

"Originally we were supposed to go to IOL and ESL Dubai this month, but after Kuppi left we agreed that if performed well at IOL we would be sent to Dubai," Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen told GotFrag.com.

"So we practiced a lot and bootcamped last weekend to be ready but yesterday Toby (4Kings' manager) decided it wasn't worth sending us to IOL because of the small prize purse and the lack of good teams participating."

"He added that we could go to dreamhack two months from now but we were obviously not going to wait that much time before going to a tournament, we had already been playing with this team for like two months online."

The team is now without an organisation to represent, with Kovanen conceding that the squad's future looks very uncertain.

"I still enjoy playing but I don't know about some of the other players' motivation," he noted. "But we will still finish the EPS qualifier and then we will see what happens."

4Kings' Counter-Strike team was the following:

Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen
Matti "SPIKEONE" Jarvinen
Otto "danzer" Dimitrow
Jirka "JiGetus" Ryhti
Slaava "Twista" Rasanen
