Slaava "twista" Räsänen created a team of well known Finnish players, known from teams like CKRAS Gaming, apeX, Team Logitech or Team ROCCAT, including players like Taneli "disturbed" Veikkola, Christer "nashje" Loukas and Olli "kononen" Salmi, who all played together under the flag of CKRAS Gaming back in Counter-Strike: Source.
Team Cursive's first offline Event will be the Finnish LANTrek in January 2014, located in Tampere with a total prizemoney of 750€. The organization, which had massive problems with their previous teams, now hopes to have a stable lineup to represent in 2014.
Statement Taneli "disturbed" Veikkola:
After "team solemn" project didnt go as planned, I thought retiring would be the next thing ahead. But like Teemu Selänne, ONE MORE YEAR he said in 2010 or something.
Twista had been in talks with kononen and nashje after solemn folded, and they were willing to give CS an another shot. So here we are again, Finnish Royalty is back with a slightly modified lineup. Our team consists of players with backgrounds in teams such as CMAX.gg, Team Logitech, Anexis, CKRAS, apeX and ROCCAT.
We are also announcing our co-operation with Team Cursive from now on. Next event for us will be Lantrek 2014 in January
Statement Management Team Cursive:
I have been talking with Slaava “Twista” for half a year, and the opportunity revealed itself, when he told me about this new team he had assembled. Each of the five players have their own unique personality, a long history filled with great achievements and a strong passion for competitive Counter-Strike. We believe they are the perfect blend of pure talent and dedication not only to the game, but also to each other.
We are extremely happy to cooperate with a Finnish team once again, and we are looking forward to the LANTrek event in January, which will be the first offline experience with the team. We hope the players will put up a good fight and deliver a great and entertaining performance at the event. Finally, yet equally as importantly, we would like to thank all of the Cursive sponsors who continue to support Team Cursive. We would like to give a a shout out to the readers and eSports enthusiasts.
