YoungBlood — It wasn’t long ago that the “other” Finnish top team lead by M0re parted ways with their sponsor Anexis and became SG-A (short for Stargate Atlantis, just in case one of our readers isn’t a geek) which meant the hunt for a new MGO had started. Today the search is over as the German multi-gaming team CKRAS announces that they have taken the Finns under their wings.
Wait what? Who are CKRAS? The team’s name originates from their main sponsor which is a server provider that appears to be popular in Germany. In the European esports community they are mostly recognized by their Danish CS:S team, which played in the F2P invite tournament this Summer.
Captain M0re made the following statement about the new partnership:
“ I’m extremely happy that CKRAS entered in to the world of TF2 and picked us to represent them. We’ve worked hard to get this far and we will continue to do so to get even farther. Our aim is top3 at the moment and with CKRAS delivering the goods we can just concentrate to push ourselves towards our aim.”
CKRAS Gaming are:*
Oskari “ M0re ” Pihlajamäki
Santtu “ Santtu ” Salminen
Mika “ TucE ” Mäkelä
Olli “ Paavi ” Kettunen
Henrik “ Honky ” Lindström
Jesper “ Rulah ” Sundell
