The Finnish champions who won their national WCG qualifier last weekend today announced a change in their lineup. Their latest addition natu has been forced to leave the team due to various reasons, and instead the young star plastE from Logitech will take his place. These changes means that 69N-28E now consists of: contE lurppis naSu ruuit plastEWe caught up with their team captain lurppis to ask a few questions about this sudden player change.



So tell us, whats the reason for this sudden change?
We decided to remove natu because he was holding the rest of the team back in terms of the time he could put into CS, which lead to us not being able to practice enough to perform well.
Aren't you guys happy with your results this year already?
We've managed to win a couple of titles which I'm happy about but we've also had a few really bad tournaments so I'd have to say no... There's definitely a lot of room for improvement!
Why did you choose to pick up plastE, did you ever considering any none-Finnish player?
He's a great player individually, hungry for success and we think he fits our team better due to him being more like the rest of us. We never considered recruiting a foreigner.
Do you think that natu will continue playing, and if so, what are the chances that we'll see him in Logitech?
I think he will continue playing although I wouldn't be surprised if he took a short break at first. About the possibility of him joining Logitech – I honestly have absolutely no idea.
What's next for you guys then, got any bootcamps planned?
We are definitely going to bootcamp before WCG, which as it looks like right now, is going to be our next event. We'll also continue playing NGL ONE online so that's where our new line-up will have it's debut I guess.
So when are you going to give us a hint on your mysterious organisation/sponsor or whatever it is that you're announcing in 3 weeks?
I still can't do that, but there's only 2 weeks left now – I'm sure you can all manage!
Thanks for your time, any last comments?
I'd just like to thank all of our fans for their loyal support and natu for the 5 months he played for our team.
