905PGS.PokerStrategy announced today that the organization has signed Finnish nightelf player Juha-Matti "Satiini" Backstrom. Due to his well known problems with showing up at offline events, this proves once again what a very talented WarCraft 3 player he is. The former player of the now reestructured fnatic and his latest home mTw is mostly attracted to maintain the WC3L slot for a new season as well for the current NGL-One season.

In a reaction Backstrom thanks his new team for the opportunity and said to be aiming to raist the current level.


I’m glad that PGS is giving me this opportunity so I can keep playing Warcraft 3 competitively, I hope I can play well and help my new team who most I knew already so together we can practice hard and get better.

The 20-year-old from Hämeenlinna, Finland, has been, due his personal issues, only succesfull in online tournaments. However, he showed his quality by qualifying for the Extreme Masters 2 and AWL season 3 and won over five Ingame Warcraft-Cups.

Manager of the PGS Warcraft 3 team, Jaco "Lloth" van Dijk, emphasizes to use his new addition mainly to keep their spots at the higher competitions.

Although most people would find the choice a bit controversial we talked about it as a team and after a lot of internal conversations we decided it would be to the utmost benefit for our team. We are aware that many people dislike Juha-Matti because he cancelled so many offline events because of his sickness, which made Juha-Matti lost his motivation several times, not to speak of the stress it was forced on him. In PGS we are still developing our team and to be honest several offline events are not in our grasp for the next couple of months. Therefore Juha-Matti can play freely and to his fullest potential and we will see how we can help him when the time comes

Also Swedish national team player FuRy gave a reaction on his new team mate. He throw heaps of praise upon the Fin and looks forward to practice with the Elf.

I’m really happy about the fact that Satiini has joined the ranks with PGS. He just might be the thing this team lacks for being a top tier wc3l team. Hopefully we can stay in the league for the next season and I have no doubts we will be a dangerous contendor. Looking forward to practicing with satiini, he is one of the few people that really gives his all in practice and I really appreciate that.
