Counter-Strike Source: 4Kings.CSS dissolves

By: Jack Westerman - Published May 08, 2008 at 11:01 AM EDT - Writer Archive
UK Organization 4Kings has announced the dissolution of its Finnish Counter-Strike: Source line-up.
The 4Kings.css players have decided to go their separate ways after a successful 6 month run with the organization. The split is due to a number of activity problems within the team, along with the onset of Juha "aNgeldust" Kurppa’s compulsory national service in the Finnish army.

Juha "Eversor" Tolonen, team captain of 4Kings.css, issued the following statement:

"After i33, odiouz planned on spending his summer outside and announced to us that he'd quit playing for now. Then natu got a job and couldn't put enough time to CSS anymore. aNgeldust going to the army pretty much left me and God on the active roster, but we thought it'd be best if we'd call it a day. All of us had a great time in 4K while it lasted and the support we got from the organization was great. Too bad it had to end like this though.

I'm planning to put a pause to my active gaming, but I think God is still up for some firey action. The 4K.CSS would like to thank our fabulous fans (especially Lechter) and the organization for the time of our lives. Peace."



The Finnish line-up joined 4Kings at the end of October 2007, after their previous organization Insignia Cadre announced that it would be releasing its teams. They filled the rift left behind by the current London Mint players, who had been drafted into the CGS from 4Kings just a few months earlier. During their time with 4Kings the team finished 3rd place at i33 and 2nd in the EnemyDown Spring Invite League, firmly rooting themselves in the top echelon of European teams.

4Kings.css was:

Finland Juha "aNgeldust" Kurppa
Finland Juha "Eversor" Tolonen
Finland Samuel "God" Räsänen
Finland Joona "natu" Leppänen
Finland Juha "odiouz" Westerlund
Finland Aki "kankeli" Salminen
