naSu to coach PENTA

Niko "naSu" Kovanen became PENTA's new coach as the organization announced.

Niko "naSu" Kovanen has been in and around the Counter-Strike scene since 2006. After eleven years of playing, he will try coaching for the first time in PENTA. The 26 year-old Finn has an extensive resumé, as he played for ENCE, ROCCAT, SkitLite and several more teams in the past. He'll be the third Finnish member of PENTA, joining his countrymen Miikka "suNny" Temppi and Jesse "zehN" Linjala.

naSu already coached PENTA at GeForce Cup earlier today but his side was eliminated by Dennis "dipparn" Muslijevic's Gatekeepers in the quarter-finals. His skills as a coach will be put into test at Europe Minor for PGL Krakow Major next month where seven high-level European teams await them.

Regarding his first coaching experience, naSu had to say:

I’m extremely happy and thankful to be given the opportunity to work with such a talented group of players and a great organization such as PENTA. I’ve been working with the players for roughly two weeks now and I’m positively surprised and sure we will achieve great results in the future.

PENTA now have:

Finland Miikka "suNny" Kemppi
Estonia Kevin "HS" Tarn
Finland Lesse "zehN" Linjala
